2008-09-30T15:55:00.000-07:00

I have been away for awhile because i have actually lost all my mojo and for whatever reason I need to hurry up and find it back. Its getting so frustrated now. I pull out all my supplies and then stare at them for hours on end and never create anything. But I knew I had to do something so I struggled and finished my Halloween cards that I had to do for a swap for http://www.sarajanesstudio.com/
THE SUPPLIES USED WERE:
PATTERNED PAPER/DIE CUTS: K+COMPANY
CARDSTOCK: BAZILL
STAMPS: STUDIO G
RIBBON: MICHAEL'S
BRADS: MAKING MEMORIES
STICKERS: SANDYLION
PEN: SIGNO UNIBALL (BLACK)
3D DOTS/STICKLES: RANGER
INK: COLORBOX

FIRST ROUND OF PAPER

2008-09-01T13:46:00.000-07:00

HERE IS A GROUP OF PAPER THAT I PICKED OUT TO USE FIRST. ALL THE PAPER IS BY CHATTER BOX. I HAVE HAD THIS PAPER FOR QUITE SOME TIME SO HERE GOES TO WHAT I CAN MAKE OUT OF IT IN A WEEK. AFTER A WEEK I WILL MOVE ON TO A NEW GROUP OF PAPER. I HOPE THAT THIS WILL WORK OUT TO GET SOME OF THESE SUPPLIES GONE AFTER ALL, TIMES ARE GETTING MORE EXPENSIVE AND I KNOW THAT I AM NOT USING WHAT I AM BUYING. THEREFORE I MUST HOLD OFF FROM BUYING THOSE PRETTY THINGS AND USE WHAT I HAVE BEEN HOARDING FOR YEARS.

Starting Over!!!

THIS IS ALL THE SUPPLIES THAT I NEED TO USE UP OR GET RID OF FOR NOW!!!! BELIEVE ME, THIS IS ONLY ABOUT 10% OF MY STASH!! OH HOW I LOVE BUTTONS, RIBBONS, AND PATTERNED PAPER. JUST THINK OF THE BEAUTIFUL PAGES THAT I WILL HAVE DONE ONCE I GET THE SCRAPPING!!

CHECK OUT ALL THIS STUFF, DOES IT MAKES SENSE FOR A PERSON TO HAVE THIS MUCH PAPER AND STILL BUY MORE WHEN THEY ARE NOT USING WHAT THEY HAVE!!!

Well the time has come that I have realized that I have too much scrapbooking supplies that are just taking up space and my ability to be productive. I have gathered some of the supplies that I feel that I need to use or lose because I have much more. I have challenged myself to use these supplies whether it be by scrapbooking, card making, or altering and if I do not within a certain time limit (maybe by Dec.31) I have to get rid of it no matter what. I know that I love going to Archiver's in Georgia, and before I go back there I have to have made something with all these supplies that are just sitting in my room watching me get more confused day after day. When I think about all the money I have spent on the "pretty" things I can almost puke!! Actually better yet, I can have me a nice 2008 Acura MDX parked outside (yeah brand new)!!!! Therefore to please myself and my boyfriend I have made a promise to make anything and everything that have to do with scrapping!!!!

Speaking of boyfriend, he is going to be so proud of me that I have began my blog again and to hear me say that Im going to start scrapping alot!! Wow now if only I can get my butt back in that gym!!!Well I go but I have not been faithful to my workouts!!!

MY FIRST POSTING!!

Hello! Welcome to my new blog. I have been thinking and talking about doing this for a few months now. I love reading other peoples' blogs therefore I have decided to go ahead and give this a try. After all, how hard can it be to write about me and what I love!!! Now I am not going to promise you that I am going to do this daily but I am going to try my best.

Here on this blog, expect to find things that I have created or just everyday things that I feel I have to comment on. I am a very out-spoken person when I want to be so watch out some days I may have alot to say!!!

I am not the best scrapbooker/card maker but Im not the worst. I think I love buying supplies more than I love to use them so I hope this space will alow me to create more. My dear boyfriend calls me a COLLECTOR not a SCRAPPER! (He may be right but don't tell him).

Anyways, with further ado, WELCOME TO PAPER AT ITS FINEST!!!!!!
