It's Sunday, which is the day after Saturday, which was the day I was supposed to update with the final Stampin' Up! post. I was instead buried in copious amounts of patterned paper and glue with the occasional amount of ribbon attached. I created a whole mini album yesterday, something that has never been done in Howard Scrapbooking history. I was on a roll and didn't want to stop, so I didn't. Here's a small peek, the rest will be shown in the Tarisota Gallery which will go up later today.
I used the BasicGrey Periphery and Recess papers as well as buckets of Clearsnap ink, and a little Glimmermist. It was the first time I'd used the Glimmermist, and although I'm not bouncing around the room in awe of the actual glimmer effect, I am thrilled enough about the whole misting-colour-onto-a-project thing that I'll be bound to buy more colours. I could have covered the bracket-frame with paper, or painted or inked it, but it took me 2 seconds to spray the glimmermist and it was coloured. And so was my carpet. Just a little though, and just under my desk a little where noone will see.
So today's giveaway. I admit. I had this roller thing and I had no idea what to do with it. SO I left it til last. I just now clicked it together and gave it a try. And I'm pretty happy about what it does! I even flipped the tag over and tried it on there – see how effective it would have been as the black on the tag we did last week! Anyway, I have one Stampin' Around roller with a black ink pad that is built in so that when you roll it, it self inks and it's really that effortless, as well as a flower roller to giveaway. I ALSO have 3 Stampin' Up! Catalogs to giveaway. These are pretty much 160 page idea books. So that is four giveaways today! Leave your name and I'll draw four names tomorrow!
(What about this roller thing! Wish I'd put more time into a project with this – if 3 kids on the couch and an Indiana Jones video weren't calling I'd be making another tag with this! lol)
Edited to add: Apparently we can see the roller used here and here and here
Wish me luck, I have a busy week coming up. Jacob represents his school at the district speech competitions on Tuesday. I'm a proud Mum but I'll be glad when I don't have to drag him through practicing anymore. We are putting in some serious hours on this one, I hope it shows on the day. I have to admit I love the comments from people "Wow you are so clever to be able to do that, I could never speak in front of people", for a kid that doesn't think he is very good at much, it speaks volumes.
I also have a scraproom to clean up, Paul actually took one of his Construction Site Hazard signs from work and put it across the doorway to my scraproom last night. He listed "Open Scissors, unmanned punches, slips, trips and falls, bottomless paper pits and unpredicatable paper cuts" as the hazards. I should have taken a pic.
Talking of taking a pic, I have been tagged by Kelly Goree to do a Hometown Tourist Challenge. It started when she mentioned to her hubby that she was bored with her current pics so he sent her out to take 10 pics of her hometown. I mentioned to Kelly that her hubby was indeed an amazing man with very cool ideas and that I wouldn't mind doing something similar. So she tagged me. And now that is on this week's list too. Join me if you wish :o)
Alrighty, that's all. Link me to any pics you have using that Stampin' Up! Roller, I'm really quite intrigued by it's possibilities. Check back tomorrow night for a list of winners of the prizes I've listed throughout the week (feel free to go back and leave comments!). And as per promised, I'll link soe Stampin' Up! demo's below. Because I don't actually do that part. LOL
Have an awesome week.
Laters.
