Insomnia, the start of big projects, and of course a bunch of cards...

This week is reading week here, so I made a goal to at least get started on this big project that I have planned for myself. Currently I have a scrapping desk & shelves set up in my living room and Mercedes has kinds taken that over, and I have pretty much completely moved into the den where I have set up another scrapping area. Now next to the den is a storage room, that could be made really nice, so the ultimate idea is to fix up the storage room and gather all the scrappin supplies and put everything together in the storage room and then just have one storage space and one scrappin area. However to do this, is going to be one very big, huge, gigantic project!!! I have lots, and lots, and lots of supplies...lots...more than you think...lots!

So tonight I couldn't sleep so I decided to tackle one shelf. Here's the before shot...

And here is the after shot...The things on the very top shelf will be coming down, they are Brad's I just need to get more boxes to pack his stuff in, and the stuff on the bottom shelf is mostly stuff that goes with my sewing machine which is on a table just underneath this shelf. Not sure yet what I'll be using this shelf for, but definately stuff that I use alot since this is very close to my workspace, so super handy space for the stuff I use daily.
This is a new card design that I just tried. This is the Mojo Monday126 sketch. If you've never tried one of there sketches, definately give them a try they are awesome and they have new ones every Monday. Check them out at http://mojomonday.blogspot.com/

These are all just some cards I've made over the past few days. I'm enjoying making these ones that use the scor-pal...you can tell that I'm still having fun playing with my latest toy! ;)



I thought this was a cute card for a boy's birthday


I'm loving this blinged out gate fold card, but it was a bit of a pain trying to get all those little gems all even around that big blue gem!


Just some gift tags I made for a local store....I was trying to match the gift bags that she sells


Another gate fold card with a bling'd butterfly on it

Another cute teddy bear gate fold






A quick Mother's Day card that was requested from one of the local stores that sell my cards. You can't tell in the picture but the patterned paper is up on foam tape so the butterfly kinda comes outta the circle...if that makes any sense?

Just more gift tags for the local store. As you can see I've been keeping busy, but enjoying it!

Hope you are all keeping busy too, and feel free to leave a link in the comment section, cause I'd love to see what you've been up too! :)
