Scrappin and Stampin with Savitri

Why not use a few on your layout? Here’s my sample. Also, got a lot of scraps? I used a few of my scraps here too.

Just a quick simple page that I did, strips of paper, a flower cutout, and the title. I also did some doodling with those embossing gel pens. It looks likes you’re just wetting the paper with these pens but after it dries, it gives your paper an embossed feel. I love it. I purchased mine at Hobby Lobby but I’ve also seen them at Archivers and Michaels.

Today was a great day. I had a training session at the other campus and everybody really liked my presentation (Web 2.0 and OpenSource plus Second Life). So it’s nice, I’ve enabled a few teachers and I hope that they’ll use at least one item from today. I have to admit the SL we could have done without but hey, that’s what was asked of me to do.

Then after that, I went to Hobby Lobby, bought some Copics (25% off) and a scrap book (50% off) and gesso. I’m going to experiment with it this weekend, I hope. There were a few other items like stiff felt, more brushes, etc. Nothing too exciting, just supplies. Then I went to Shawnee, a suburb of Kansas City and found the stamping store. They have A Muse stamps! Woah! But I did’t get any. I got some Sassafrass and something else… oh I forgot… and gamsol. After two months or more I’m finally going to use my Prismacolors. It’s a neat store and in October I’ll go back - I have another conference I’m attending maybe 10 miles from there. I’ll get some A Muse then unless I see something more interesting.

Last but not least, Archivers and I bought…. a Scor-It! I am sooo glad I didn’t buy the Scor-Pal at the stamping store. First I have a 30% off Archivers coupon and second, I tried both at Archivers and the only thing I like on the Scor-Pal was me not having to move my paper. But, since as you know I don’t do a lot of fancy boxes, I’m ok with that. The Scor-It is so much more crisp and I get a good fold each time. The Scor-Pal was weaker. It might just be me but I ended up with t he Scor-It for $35. The manufacturer lowered the price to $49.9 instead of $59.99 and I do have a coupon. Sweet!

Fun, fun weekend. I’ll be cropping ALL day tomorrow and I have a few toys to play with. Also, I am the DT at my LSS and half the time there I’ll be working on some display items. Yippee!!! I need to remember to bring the camera so that I can take pics of my work after since I won’t see it again for a month or two. Have a great weekend. I’ll be cropping tomorrow and so see you Sunday! Oh, I am hosting Virtual Scrapbooking Night at Split Coast. I think my time is 1 p.m. EST. Come play with me!!!
