What's New

Hello again blogworld !!
I've been away for a while due to health and family issues, but I'm BACK! I love scrapbooking, using scrap supplies for altered art and home decor. I am so into crafting things or just transforming something old into something new and unique thatall the local thrift stores know me by my first name.
I follow a few blogs on a daily basis and decided to step into the blogworld last summer. I am a self described blog-a-holic and I am totally hooked on crafting and decorating, even though my first love is scrapbooking. I am a traditional scrapper and get excited when I can use my scrap supplies to beautify my home and life. I hope I can make some great blog friends and cyber contacts. Counting on the blogospher to make this an awesome blog experience. I plan on posting some pics of my creations on my next post.

Happy Scrappy Easter!!

Hope everyone had a fantastic weekend! I am almost finished with the great Scraproom move and I don't advise anyone to make the crazy decision to move on a holiday!! Especially when you need to dye eggs, cook for family, and worship. I enjoyed the weekend, but I can't wait to have my space organized. In the meantime I'm posting some Layout pics from a high school Freshman year memory album I completed last week. Hope you enjoy and please give me some hints for improvement and feedback.

Moving My Scraproom

I know it's the Easter weekend and I should be getting ready for the big egg hunt, but I am moving my scraproom to a larger area. I didn't know I had so much stuff!! So, I am also trying to get rid of things I don't use anymore. OMG, this is hard work!!

I'm Back!!

Hi everyone, sorry about the time lapse. I was finishing up the school year and nursing a back injury. I am still in pain when I move too much, so I will make my posts short and sweet. As i said before, I am sooooo Obsessed with Fleur-di-lis. I copped a great stash from Hobby Lobby during their recent 66% off sale. I will try and get the pictures posted tonight. And I also did a cheap or should I say frugal wall hanging using my new FAVE- FLEUR-DI-LIS. Hope you like.

Another Cheap Cutie!!




I am officially obsessed with Monograms. I found this cute metal script "E" at you know where-Hobby Lobby for 50% off. So, I paid $2.00 for the letter. The wooden placque I got at the Dollar Tree, and used some leftover black cording to accent the placque. Of course, I added some Bling for the cute factor. I spray painted the placque with Rustoleum Heirloom White, glued the cord around the edges of the placque with E6000. To give the metal letter a 3-D effect I glued large acrylic rhinestones to the underside of the monogram letter. After I glued the monogram onto the wooden placque, I applied Bling to the monogram. I knotted a 5 inch length of cording and glued it onto the back of the wall hanging. My wall hanging is finished and ready for display. And it was under $5.00!!

My First Official Project Post!!







I am so excited to post my first Fabulous, frugal project. I am really into large monograms to decorate my home and office and almost fainted when My fave hangout-Hobby Lobby had them for 50% off. So I paid a whole 99 cents for each one. I used scrapbooking supplies I had at home-paper, acrylic paint, ribbons, flowers and I must have Bling!! I traced the letters onto the paper with the paper facedown and the letter face down. I cut it out inside the lines to achieve a clean look around the edges. Before applying the paper to the letters, I painted the edges of the monogram letters with acrylic paint. Then, using my newest Obsession- Mod Podge- I applied the paper to the letters. I applied four coats of the Mod Podge , attached ribbons, flowers, and Bling to make it extra Fab!! And there you have it. I love finding uses for supplies I have on hand and right now this is my absolute obsession. Everyone in my family is getting a Monogram as soon as Hobby Lobby has another sale.!! I will try to remember to take before and after pics! I did manage to get an "in progress" of the M. Everyone Enjoy and tell me what you think.
