A page of super-quick-ocity

Over the Christmas holidays, I had 2 weeks off (yay for being a teacher!) and while I was avoiding postponing the marking I brought home with me until after Christmas, I spent several days just sitting in my craft room absolutely lapping up the free time. Boy, did I ever need it! I had been exhausted, I was counting down the minutes until the holidays began for about two weeks prior!

Here's one of the eight or so pages I completed over the holidays. It was nice to think back to the summer as I sat in my craftroom with the temperature outside dipping down to somewhere around -35C. I had a really busy summer...here we were at a Tragically Hip concert. My boyfriend is a radio DJ so we often get tickets to great shows, and this one was awesome. Seeing the Hip at sunset on a warm summer day is like living the Canadian dream, don't you agree? :) I'm going to give this Scrap In Style widget a go...the hope is that it will produce a little mini slideshow and provide a link to my SIS portfolio. Here goes nothing!




The paper is from Bo Bunny, and I was super excited to use the magic mesh that had been sitting in my stash for a whole year. The chipboard letters were mauve and I covered them with a black-distressed-splotchy rub on which I was so glad to use up as its been in my stash for about 4 years! Hooray for using up old product! That reminds me...I need to start planning my entry for the Scrap Your Crap design team call!

PS: It is just me, or is "here goes nothing" a really strange expression? What the H does that even mean?! Although, I guess if the link doesn't work, the expression will be rather fitting...but I digress. ;)

  2. Dear Terri, I read that you've problems inserting the dirty scraps blinkie.. What you can do is to save the blinkie image as a picture in your computer and upload it onto photobucket. Get the HTML code from it and Save it in your gadget in your blog column..
    Hope this helps a bit..
    I can't wait to see what you can come up with for challenge #2!
    Your blog is looking great too!

If you type something below it will make the sun shine and the flowers bloom and all the world's children sing hand-in-hand. If you don't, someone, somewhere, will kick a puppy. You don't want to have that on your conscience, now do you?
