FRIDAY and a Question

Posted on | September 26, 2008 | 7 Comments |

Yeah!!! The weekend is FINALLY here! It was sooo nice to take a day off yesterday but I wish I spent it more on crafting or even house cleaning than nine credit hours of real estate stuff. I have three more to go and planning on finishing that tonight. I was going to do all yesterday but then we ended up watching season 2 of Heroes. Plus my bum was sore from sitting and finger’s tired from clicking.

This card is super simple, just some new in-color papers the So Very stamps, scalloping on the edges with the SU (new) scallop punch, and the yummy ribbon <– LOVE this thing!! I used my stamp-a-majig to get everything all straight and centered. I use that thing all the time now.

So, what are your weekend plans? We’re going to the city tomorrow and maybe help his friend buy a car while I go to a scrapbook store around the corner from there and Michaels and HB (50% off scrapbooking stuff). I need some embellishments for my pages and a new album. I am so happy that I’ve been getting a lot of pages done this year. I think I’m close to 100 between the paper and the digi. I did more but there are a few of the digis that I don’t care to print.

Question: Is there a scrapbook album that you like? I bought an American Craft last time and it’s nice, I can get 40 pages in, but the pages keeps sliding. There is too much space I think where the rings are. Before that it’s a K&Co (old old model) where the pages stay but I hate unscrewing to add spacers and protectors. I do love the spacers since my pages are not flat. I do miss this from the AC album. Let me know, thanks!!

I am loyal to the ones with the clear strap hinges. Can’t think of the brand, but I know Michael’s carries them. My humungous college scrapbook is one of those, and so is the one I started on Charlie. They have nice edges, and you can buy sleeves to protect your pages, which means you can use both sides of the page. Love it!
TGIF! Have a great weekend!

What a cute card…I love the bright colors and clean lines! As for scrapbook if your looking for inexpensive, SEI has some good ones, but if you have a Micheals nearby and save your coupons, I have LOVED the Martha Stewart ones…Other than that not sure of the brand but a friend of mine just got some cute ones at Hobby Lobby this week~50%off!

Fun card…love the colors. I couldn’t stamp without my stamp-a-ma-jig. I “should” bring it to my stamp club meetings too but always seem to forget….scrapbooks…LOL….scrapbooking….you definitely inspire me with your pages…both digi and paper…but conveniently “forget” when I get crafting :)
