A little card...

Wow.. this week is really flying by! It's already Wednesday!!!!!! Only 2 days to go and it will be weekend again.. YAY!! The weather was awesome today, I even went for a walk during my lunchbreak at work.. it was so sunny and clear!!!!! (and I ended up not wanting to work anymore the rest of the day.. whahaha)

I've played with some Doodlebug scraps this week and I've created this little card with it (I've covered the American Crafts Thickers with Doodlebug sugar coating glitter.. this stuff is totally addictable!) So sorry for the bad picture!!
BTW... I'm so excited.. this upcoming Saturday I'll be meeting Ingrid and Mandy again!! We've planned to do some scrapping together! WOOHOO!!! Just can't wait to see you girls again!!!!! (maybe we'll get some scrapbooking done this time.. whahaha.. we might end up talking the whole time just like in January.. whaha). Oh and Lisette, so sad you won't be able to join us this time!!! We'll be thinking about you.. that's for sure!!!

Gotta run now, we're off to a goodbye party now of some friends who are moving to Thailand on Friday!!!

So excited about that! It sounds like it's going to be awesome weather too... I'm charging the battery of my camera already.. that way I'm sure to come back with a looooot of pics!!! We'll be back on Tuesday in the course of the day.

I hope you're all having a great week until so far! My week is kinda busy.. so not too much time to sit down and have some time for myself unfortunately... I did started working on a layout with some Doodlebug goodies (all pink.. hehe.. yup.. my favorite color). Did you see their new sugar coating glitter stuff??? I think I'm having a new addiction now!!!! I'm so excited that CreativeXpress added these yummie goodies to their online store, I had to order almost every single color.. hehe... LOOK... YUM YUM YUM:

I've created this little layout (which I've framed) for a friend who had her 2nd babyboy in October! I've worked with colors of their nursery (and I've used the poem from their birth announcement)....

And.. I've played with some Junkitz goodies too... I'm still so sad that Junkitz had to close their doors!!!!! I sooo love working with these fun and bright products!!!!!

Thanks again for stopping by and for your sweet sweet comments. I'll try to update before leaving.. otherwise I hope to see you all back next Tuesday!!!

HI THERE!

Hi there everybody! Hope you're all having a great weekend until so far! Our weekend was loaded with all kinds of things we had to do!!! The weather was great.. so today we went out for a walk with some friends!!! But I'm so happy to be able to sit down now for a little minute.. hehe..

I really think that my scrapbooking mojo is coming back! So excited about that! I've played with all kinds of goodies this weekend and ended up creating 2 layouts and a card! WOOOHOO! I'll start with showing one of the layouts!!!! I've used My Mind's eye Patterned paper here and the pictures are from our trip to Mexico in 2007.

BTW.. I'm getting more and more questions about how I'm creating the little white dots on my creations!!! Well, the open 'donut' holes are made with my Uniball Signo.. and the 'closed' dots are made with Puffy Paint by Tulip! It's some kind of 3d paint and it works perfectly for me!!! It looks like this and it's available in different kinds of colors:I'm off to bed now.. I'm having another busy week at work coming up so I'll need some extra sleep.. hehe..

Enjoy the rest of your day and I hope to be back with a fun little card-workshop soon!

XOXO
Nancy
