Have a "hoot"...

Tonight my hubby came home and asked me if there was anyway that I could "whip" up a retirement card for him for tomorrow. Of course, I said yes! With my new scraproom it is so much easier to get everything together and know where things are. I feel so much more creative too! It's awesome! I adapted one of Kristie Larsen's card that she did for 365 Cards blog, day 333. Both of these are great blogs that you should definetly check out! Here's my version:

Mojo Monday Sketch

I am doing the Mojo Monday Sketch again this week. I absolutely love these sketches! Here is this weeks sketch...

Here is my version...I chose...

SQUARE with a little bit of ROUND!

This is a birthday card for my brother...his b-day isn't til May, but I've been thinking about him a lot, because he's got a lot going on in his life right now, so I thought that I would spend some time and make him a real nice card.

The circle, although you can't tell in my amateur picture, is raised up. I finally found a product that I absolutely love that actually stays raised even when you press on it with all your weight, 3M Pop-Up Foam Squares, love them! Almost this entire card was done in scraps. I try to do that with all my cards, because my whole sheets I like to save for layouts, even though I haven't done ANY lately...well 2 the other day, but that's all. I am really in to card making lately.

I start this on Monday...

I’m participating in Org Junkie’s 28 Day Organizing Challenge with @orgjunkie during the month of Feb. Wish me luck! http://tiny.cc/KYtro

I saw this on one of favorite blogs, I'm An Organizing Junkie, and knew that I just had to participate. That is my main resolution for this year...to get organized and healthy. It doesn't just benefit me, it benefits my whole family!

So, if you have conquered your clutter or want to conquer your clutter join me! Leave me a message and let me know that you are going to join us...!

A Few Challenges

Here are a couple of LO's that I did in my new room. I did the first card for Mojo Monday's Week 122 Challenge:

They have great challenges, check them out here, Mojo Monday Sketch Blog.

The second project I did was a LO, haven't done one in ages. It is based on the sketch by, Trisha aka txpaperdoll (sorry, I can't find the original post) but, you can find her blog here, TX Paper Doll.

This is my dad and my son. They are reading "The Polar Express" for all of Christmas in 2008 my son was obsessed with the book and the movie.

Enjoy!

Finished product...

for now. This is my fabulous scraproom. It still needs to be taped and mudded and of course organized WITH my stuff in it...it's still all over the basement. But, I think it's fabulous and I feel creative just looking at it!!

My brother and my daughter. He came over to help my hubby put up the drywall...it's HEAVY!

My hubby, brother, and daughter...she had to be in all the pictures!

And the FINAL product...!!!

So that's it...hope that you like it! I LOVE IT!!
