I will be posted officially, twice in one week!

Not only will my design team announcement for If It's Groovy will post on March 21st!


I just got an e-mail from Nikki Sivils! I had got so many compliments from the layout I did with the "Tree Love" Collection that I figured it wouldn't hurt to show her what I did! 
Here is a snip-it of the e-mail: 
Hi Michelle! 

Thanks so much for sending a pic of your ADORABLE layout!! 

I've copied Julie on this email. Julie is in charge of my blog and she 

also hosts a monthly blog post using non-design team girls projects!

Lettering Delights Dollar Days!

Here is a deal that's too good to pass up!

I love the alpha fonts here, because if you don't have the write stamps or stickers you can just type them up in a document and there is your title or journaling. Plus, they are true type fonts so you just place the file in your fonts folder and they show up in your fonts drop down bar!

HERE IS THE MESSAGE I GOT: 

Dollar Days starts tomorrow!  All fonts, doodlebats, 

graphics, clipart, alphabets, and paper packs will only 

be $1. All SVG's will be $2.  Mini albums will be $3. 
 
In addition to the slamming dollar days deals:
 
1) Over $40 in FREE PRODUCT with new account sign up. 

We have now added SVG's to the new account product.
 
2) 9 Free Fonts are available to everyone who signs up 

for the newsletter
 
3) $5 off if you refer a friend who signs up for the 

newsletter. You'll both receive a $5 coupon good on any 

purchase of $15 or more.
 
4) Monthly freebies.  This month's freebies are the 

Modern Miss Alphabet(available through Try Me Now Tool) 

and the Fancy That Digital Paper Pack. 

I will be posted officially!

I am excited to get word on the official If It's Groovy Blog DT announcement! So, come check it out!

My Scrap Space in the works!

I am not sure if I had mentioned this before or not. I have had an ever-changing space. The room I use holds many functions: office, guest room, scrap area & catch all. Our home computer is in the room and the bill paying/filing happens there too! Since it is the only room on our living area that we can move and stash projects, laundry, piles of mail, etc. and shut the door; at a moments notice when guest stop by. The catch all part has been the biggest challenge!
So, the last time we had guests stay over was two years ago. The 1st year of no guest brought up the question of removing the futon from the room. I was pregnant and my husband was contemplating putting our expected son in the room. I really didn't want to have him downstairs and the rest of us upstairs. So, the futon stayed where it was as the catch all spot. So, today I had enough and the catch all got cleared for the third time in 3 months! But this time it was getting moved! I still have more work to do, but I am happy to have the space. It is still an office/scrap space. Here is the progress so far:

This shelf has always housed my albums and various scrapping supplies. I did do a little reorganizing since I added a few more albums to the collection.

This lower shelf is right next to the above photo. I have all my inks, some stamps, seasonally sorted papers, punches, tools, glitter and embossing powders here. 

The next two sections are getting worked on yet!

Finally here is the space that the futon occupied! It is a work in progress but I am happy with the start! At least now if the dogs come in and lay down behind me. I won't trip on them anymore!

Finally Some PHD (Pages Half Done) are Finished!

I finally cleaned out my Rolling Tote from the last time I went to a crop. I truly don't know when that was, but I usually don't bring the rolling tote unless I am scrapping for more than 3 hours. I just needed to add the date or find an embellishment for most of my PHDs. There were a few layouts I worked on, but i can't show you them yet! Because they might be popping up somewhere else first!

So, after sickness has past through each member of my family and work has slowed down a bit for my husband. I am finally getting some scrap time in. I still have to work on my daughter's Thank You Cards from her Birthday party and I have Challenges to complete since now i am a Design team member of If It's Groovy.

So here is what I can show you for now:

Here is a closer look at the Itinerary, Bingo Card, Gift Auction Numbers and Ticket. I added from the crop.

Card Swap #2 of 2011

Here is my card from the 2nd card swap this year! I found something in a magazine I liked but ended up with this since I used a square card with a window!
