Well hello guys! So everything has been so much fun since everyone has been well. It really makes a difference when you don't have to quarentine half of the house lol! So yes, Kody had his school performance on Thursday. Didn't get to see it last year so I was determined to get a front row seat this year. Well, it didn't go quite as planned. Let's just say he walked on stage during the performance (from the crowd mind you); took his spot. Sang a song. Then it was over! But you guys...he spotted me in the crowd and started waving and jumping up and down. I was so happy I was there even if it was only like 10 minuets or so ^_^ O my GOSH I love him....
Then there was the fire. I'm cooking breakfast and I think I'm Martha Stewart right? Like scrambled eggs and sausage are advanced or something. So I'm at the stove and I go to Flip one of those sausages over and the stove lit up on fire. It wasn't too big but big enough of a flame and it wasn't going out. Now you would think I would refer back to the "How to Put Out a Stove Fire" manual in my brain but when I saw the flames I drew a blank. All I could say was O S**T! ...O S**T! Seriously, all decorum and lady like manners were out the door. Reflex told me to cuss so that was exactly what I did. It sure helps when you stub a toe and it helped me then too! And then there were the kids. As I'm doing my potty mouth dance the smoke alarm goes off. I'm like O S********T! The girls cover there ears and run like the dickens screaming to their room. I quickly get a towel, fan the smoke detector and it stops. I look behind me and Kody is crawling on the floor. He tells me as calm as can be while he's crawling, "When there is a fire you need to stop-drop-and crawl on the ground because smoke rises." I'm like hu? The girls sound louder than the smoke detector, I'm cussing like a sailor and running around like a chicken with no head, the house is smokier than Snoops car and Kody's crawling on the floor shooting out tips on fire safety. There had to be one of us who was sane lol...
Then DerRick asked me to do a insignia for his online gaming guild. He always liked the wolf logo from Bloody Roar and wanted something similar. So I came up with this
Oh they were very specific too. You know us scrap gals...we want to add bling, dimension and a bow if we can right? lol...they wanted flames (not the realistic kind either), gold wolf, black backround, all man and no fluff ^_^ So There ya go.
Those were the highlights of the past week for sure :)
So on a more scrappy note; I wanted to show you all a peek at a new paper pack coming Thursday to my shop.
There are 16 papers, a border rub-on and a brush. I custom made the design and it was so cute + I really liked the colors so I switched re-invented the design for the papers. They ended up being the same design done in totally different ways. I just think they're super adorable with the houndstooth undertones ^_^
I also have been having fun with the Book Templates. I did one using the Pamela kit here
Anilu is also having fun with the templates ^_^
Her situation is interesting because she doesn't have access to her paper stash because of a move so all she has is her computer and digi. She's really having fun :) It comes in handy too because once you get the hang of it, digital can really save you time. I know it's right on time for me right now with being more busy than I used to be. But don't think I've put away my scissors and glue. NEVER!!!!! ^_^
So many of you have wondered how to use templates. As you can see above, the book is a template and all the decorative edge pages are templates as well as the pictures. Well the pictures used to be anyway. For example. Take the third layout there. The one with the circles. That template comes in the kit and it looks like this:
And she added her pictures and the clock decoration to it. It can be daunting trying to figure out how to do it so I have a little video so you can get a better idea.
