A Beautiful Scrappin' Goodie

Saturday, 9/5/09

Good afternoon!

I love making little scrappin' goodies, and this is one I did for today.

The weather is absolutely beautiful this year. We've had a cooler than normal summer, and I'm loving it! Of course, I have a friend who longs for Florida, so she's NOT too thrilled with our weather.

If you're into scrapping, and your looking for some free accessories/graphics to scrap with ... you can find 3 free daily at http://www.easyaspiedailygraphics.com/.

I've updated the old page now, so make sure you use the link above. If you sign my guestbook or email me, you can get a week's worth of free graphics ... for your very own use. The graphic download only comes out on Sunday's and for the week that's featured.

I also do some scrapping at Eons - Scrapper's Daily. Looking for members, so if you're interested, check it out. It can be found at http://www.eons.com/groups/group/scrappers-daily.

Although I do digital scrapping, I also use my graphics in real "home-made" projects. I print some out, cut them out, and apply. It's lots of fun.

Another thing I love to add to my projects are sculpey (polymer clay) creations. That adds lots of color, dimension, and even texture.

This little fish is bigger than a standard necklace, but does have a hoop to wear it as such, but I prefer to put her on my key chain.

She's all dressed up, with her flower on head, so she should be "out and about".

Check back tomorrow ... to see more!

Have a great day ... and I hope you're enjoying the weather as much as I am!

Take care.

Because I Live ... I Create

Thursday, 7/2/09

Good morning!

So many ideas … so little time. So many mediums … so little time.

I live to create … !!!

These items are some that I’ve posted on my website. The nice thing about them is that you can pick up the finished item … or the individual pieces.

Pick a flower, corner a frame, or grab a background.

Decos, deco boxes, borders, accessories – all free. Just give yourself a minute … and go take a peek!

The webpage to checkout:

http://www.easyaspiedailygraphics.com/

Right now, there's items going back as far as September 2008. Half of September has been removed, and soon more will be taken down.

But while it's there, it is free!

Most of my wee mornings hours are at my computer -- just creating away.

I get caught between creating graphics, and creating sculpey's.


For the last two weeks, I put my art program to rest, and just created sculpey's.

My clay colors have dwindled, and it is time to go purchase more.

If the sun comes out today .. I will take some pictures to post.

Until then ... I scrap!

Do you?

Accomplishments

Wed. 7/1/09

Oh my! It is July 1st, 2009, and I didn't post a thing for June! Wherever does the time go?

I'v taken a break from my art creations/scrapping accessories to work on some sculpey creaions. When I get a good sunny day ... and a little time ... I'll take some pictures and post them.

I took pictures last weekend, but it was too cloudy to get crisp pictures.

I do have a scrapping group for scrappers, so if you're looking for a place to post some of your artwork, feel free to join us at http://www.eons.com/groups/group/scrappers-daily.

Today, I'm focusing on accomplishments.

What things in your life have been accomplishments? What did it take for you to reach your goal and succeed?

Whether your list is full or small, I am sure there are many on your list.

If you have one you'd like to share, just leave a comment about it.

Until a future date ... accomplish something today!

Scrapper's Daily Is Open -- Join Free!

Friday, 5/22/09 ... and Good afternoon!

I am on holiday today. And all next week! I love vacations.

Scrapper's Daily. What is it?

It's a free scrapping group. It is over at Eons. You open a free account, set up your profile, and then find things to interest you.

You can do your own blog. Create your own group. Join groups. Give virtual gifts that you earn by responding to posts, and receive them, of course. You make friends.

It's a wonderful place. Scrapper's Daily's home page is:

http://www.eons.com/groups/group/scrappers-daily

This group is still new. Only 2 members, but looking to grow.

It is an active group because I am the moderator, and I am active. There is something for every day.

If you are a scrapper, and you just live to scrap, check it out. We'd love to have you.

If you create, we're still happy to have you. It's not just about "me"; it's about all of us -- old and new.

Since I am active in it, and just live to create -- I am looking for members that would like to post at least 2x a week. That still leaves plenty of time to do other things; like enjoy the great out doors; especially with spring being here.


There are many items to choose from to use to scrap with, and it is not limited to just those items, but allows you to use other items, including those you've picked up, as long as they are free for you to use.

Today's postings are just a few of the items over the last couple of days.

So, get on over to Scrapper's Daily, and think about joining. Then do it!

These items can also be found at:

Come help us make some fun ... while you show us your stuff!

Free items in Scrapper's Daily

Monday, 5/11/09

Good Monday morning to you all,

These are the 3 items offered in Scrapper's Daily this morning.

With Mother's Day being over, perhaps you're looking to make a "thank you" card for the gifts received yesterday.

I thank:
- my daughter, her husband, and my granddaughter for a beautiful and wonderful meal at their home yesterday and all the following:
- the gifts, 2 items for scrapping (I love 'em), a gift card to Michaels, and a wind chime (I've always loved wind chimes)
- the flower arrangement -- in RED!
- the 105+ pictures my granddaughter took with my camera
- the cake my daughter made with her loving and busy hands
(she's taken cake-decorating, so she's creative too)
- the Chinese lantern my granddaughter crafted with her creative hands

-My son and Kathy:
- For the gift card, and the bread they brought to the meal

- My daughter's mother and father-in-law:
- The wonderful "cinnamon-home scented" candle and candle holder (shot glass: oops! private joke here)

- My son and daughter-in-law in MA:
- For the gift card and phone call

And for all the cards.

We had about 4 hours of fun together. It was so wonderful, and probably the best Mother's Day I've ever had. Thank you all! (I will be making and sending cards!)

My daughter's meal was one she grew up on, and that I received from a friend/neighbor in my first year of marriage. Nope; it was my second year. Poor Man's Stroganoff.

Simple easy for you:
1 # stew meat
1 large can of Cream of Mushroom/or Cream of Chicken soup (do not add any liquid as it creates it's own)
Put both in a crock pot in the morning or before going to bed, and let cook on low. If you are up, stir occasionally.

Serve over mashed potatoes, noodle, rice, or even bread.

Double to make larger batches. I use to double it, and use one of each soup.

Have a great day.
