~ wow wednesday ~

This is hump day, the middle of the week, the day we all feel a little blah... wow wednesday is here to change that! I'll be posting great news and really good stuff, anything that makes me go WOW! Here it is:

• My 'sense-ational' sunday is a hit & I'm a link on Emily Adams's blog Trend Watcher! Check out her comments!

• Our next Mommy's Scrap Club is scheduled for Friday, June 13th, 2008. The theme for the evening is "Let the Sun In". Come and join us, in studio, for a fabulously fun night of scrapbooking fun! {p.s. it's only $8 dollars!}

~ good & bad ~

We'll start with the bad news {this way the good news is great! :)}

• our 1st Mommy's Scrap Club is cancelled {good thing I sent out a reminder!} Watch out for the June newsletter for our next date... hopefully we'll see more people.
• I didn't make it into the Luxe Design Team {I sorta knew this was coming, but I tried and I'll try again!}

Good News:

• I'm featured on Canadian Scrapbooker Carnival Blog!
• I finished my layout for Challenge #2 {see below} !
• I'm going to be blogging everyday with themed days starting Sunday, May 10th {some are scrapbooking related, others not so much}

The good news is Great isn't it???

Well, here is my layout for Challenge #2.

The Recipie called for: a monogram {the flower with an f}, a transparency overlay {the shaped bracket underneath the picture}, and something I made {I made the overlay & the glittered f}.

I hope you're inspired and that I see some layouts for the 15th. I have a great prize waiting for you!

Here are a few tips on how you can create your very own overlay:

1. Grab an overhead transparency and trace a shape you like onto it.

2. Using small detail scissors, cut along the traced line.

3. Edge your overlay with paint or any other medium of your choice.

4. Let the medium dry and then apply glue & glitter in small sections.

5. Voila! You have your very own transparency that matches your layout perfectly.

I've been receiving some great comments about my dt layouts and my blog. Thanks everyone, I really appreciate it! Leave me a note sometime!

Talk to you soon,

Cindy

~ buzzzzzzz ~

For those of you who know me, being up at 12:30 a.m. is VERY unusual. My visitors brought me some Timmy's and it was caffinated... I'm still buzzed. {thank you! it was yummy.}

So, for the past hour I've worked/played with my paint program {i don't do or have photoshop} and came up with a new header for my blog, I've updated my website classes page, and I've actually watched my hubby fall asleep on the couch {as a new mom & a woman who loves her sleep, I'm in bed as soon as lulu is asleep}.

While updating my website, I created a little club... Mommy's Scrap Club.
We'll meet once a month to get together and scrapbook, organize enough to scrapbook or just enjoy an evening out with other who understand us. I do a few play groups and I'm always being asked to bring my scrapbook stuff for future playdates. I figure that, although we love our children/pets/family, we'd also love an evening, free of distractions, to be creative and scrapbook. We start in April 2008, let me know if you'd like to join us!

Okay... I'm starting to get cold and shake from this caffine. I'm heading to bed now.
Talk to ya later,
Cindy
