House Cleaning!

I don't know what got into me yesterday but I have completely gutted my scraproom from ceiling to floor! I went through bins of old stuff, ALL of my stamps and cleaned them, went through some drawers and bins. Re-Sorted my patterned paper and cardstock....hmmmm...Oh I organized my shelves that have my paint, mists and punches and some other things here and there.

PHEW! I sat down to do some more projects for Core'dinations for CHA next week and owen came in and asked me if he could help me clean and organize my room. ARGH, I guess that isn't a good sign, is it? I did get his stamp of approval today. He came in and said he was glad I finally "got around" to get things organized around here. SO 24 hours later I am done.

Make sure you check out the link on the right hand side of my blog!!! ANOTHER Cored'inations give-a-way! 40 packs of Tim Holtz cardstock!!! They were designed to match his Ranger and Distressed lines perfectly :)

And did you see??? The new DT was posted over at Webster's!!! It's going to be a great year. Last year was awesome being on the team and I am looking forward to some DT alum stuff. I am excited for change and some new adventures this year. I have been a part of the Ning site over there since I met Terri two years ago and it is still a home away from home for me. I go there everyday with my coffee, LOL!

Here are a few cards that I created for The Color Room Shimmerz Palettes. I love playing along with these since I have a lot of these colors.

I used my Kreaxions butterfly die (ran it through my Cuttlebug, they work beautifully) and then covered it with crepe paper and lots of shimmerz! Cardstock is Core'dinations.

And another one for The Color Room. I used Core'dinations Whitewash (from the Jenni Bowlin Core Impressions line) and loaded it with Shimmerz paints. I love using these on my Core!!!! It's pre embossed so you don't have to do any texturizing.

Bling'in Up my blog header!

yeah! I finally got my blog header done with a little help from Joyce. She started it for me and I finished up the rest with a photo and some other details. Then of course, I had to tinker around with the rest of the layout.

The one thing about the Websters's Sweet Season line is that it isn't just for Christmas, it's for Winter in general so that is why I chose it for the blog header so I can keep it up til February...well...knowing PA...MARCH! LOL

So I FINALLY did some Moxxie Fab World Challenges! Remember this Provocraft Paper? I LOVE it and it came across it the other week. It goes perfectly with some Core. OH and speaking of Core'dinations....Have you visited the blog over there for their 12 Days of Techniques? SIZZIX is the sponsor today!

I used Black Magic on this card for the base and the Butterfly is from Jenni Bowlin Core Impressions brights. Do you love that butterfly? I do :) Its BRAND new from Kreaxions.

for this card I used another punch from Kreaxions (the heart) and an SRM Sticker. OH and some more Core ;) Whitewash and Core Essentials ....

I actually used the backside of the Jenni Bowlin Core Impression Brights for the ripped part.
