hi!

as my darlin' sis pointed out, there are tumbleweeds breezing through this blog...LOL!!! I have been supa busy doing other things and well, I have neglected this much loved multi-media journal:) Sooo, here I am!

hi, hi!

I did how ever get time for my creative team The Creative Type and this time around the challenge is simple + fun..ain't it always:) It's called ALTERED ALPHAS! Check it out.

As you see, I just did something uber simple! I just stamped a script stamp over plain chipboard alphas..and you can too! it helps jazz up plain-ness anytime. See more examples from my girls here and link up your projects for a wicked prize:)

Ooooh, and yippee! Bee is giving away some fun-ness on her darlin' bloggie! Oh papergoodness me!

I will be back this week, I promise. If not, I'll eat my hat. Ok, I don't own one...but you get my jest. Lol.

Ok, so for a cuteness (read: need it) pic! This Japanese Kawaii fabric! Isn't it A. Dor. Able! I think it is the sweetest fabric I've seen in ages, and believe me, I've seen (and hoard) alot of fabric! Heehee....the sweet lil' dear is just too...well, dear! And my fave colour teal is featured too.

And a lil' repurposed greeting card! I wish I had time to throw several more together!

Remember Props Boy?

I do! He was funny! Random question, I know!

Anyweez, I had to do a "missing" layout in my son's album...you know what I mean by "missing" don't ya? Well, it's when there should be a page in the album with a photo you have taken of a time/event but didn't have/get time to do it into a layout. IYKWIM:) I'm not the only one like this am I? LOL!! I have hidden journalling under the photo...he can lift the photo by the flap and read it when he's older (its a secret until then) heehee:) The two illustration stickers of Action Adam are drawn by my supa talented BIL Marc. Jorjy wrote something on the back of this layout too...a big letter "J"! Haha...the scarlet letter me thinks:):)

Annnnnnnnnd, thanks everyone who left a comment for the paint palette Happy Mail!
