I haven't had time for my paper crafting, let alone blogging about it. :( I have made a few cards, but of course I forgot to take pictures of all of them. I am thinking about opening an Etsy shop selling Vinyl wall stickers, since I recently got a <a href="http://www.paperthreads.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=45_61&products_id=4224">24" wide digital die cutte</a>r (love it love it love it!) I am going to be helping out a friend cutting out some things for her wedding. I'll share that kind of stuff also. That's all for now.Vanessahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00619107436962391666noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-66032109537396531.post-81482457255015253222008-07-27T09:18:00.000-07:002008-07-27T09:35:27.892-07:00A card I madeI made this card for a challenge at the <a href="http://www.paperthreads.com/forum">Paperthreads Forum.</a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvl32CyRDnDdSLcQwgN2dH4ATyzwZHXvt3FVeJiC9zL-iI1Kl26XpWm6IPQw6_60JAJU5VjA0aKv9w7XwDNFQ-JV1h1-1DwhHuczZ19hDs3MXmRHDor8Bb7MCGoRNn85pArua2nemmPVo/s1600-h/IMG_1038.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvl32CyRDnDdSLcQwgN2dH4ATyzwZHXvt3FVeJiC9zL-iI1Kl26XpWm6IPQw6_60JAJU5VjA0aKv9w7XwDNFQ-JV1h1-1DwhHuczZ19hDs3MXmRHDor8Bb7MCGoRNn85pArua2nemmPVo/s320/IMG_1038.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5227732006179736530" border="0" /></a><br /><br />I used a cutter file from <span class="smallfont">Carrie Schwartz - its her</span> Ornamental Decor File.

I have another blog where I mainly focus on my family (it's <a href="http://www.vhab.blogspot.com/">vhab.blogspot.com</a> if you are interested.) I don't really want to blog my family here, since I already do it there, so I made a poll to see what people want to read about. Let me know, and I will try to comply! The poll is over there, to the right.<br /><br />Thanks!<br />VanessaVanessahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00619107436962391666noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-66032109537396531.post-39072831728613817532008-07-18T09:11:00.000-07:002008-07-18T09:17:07.123-07:00Ahh... time, technology, blogging!So I made a card this last week, and some other fun things, and I'm going to post them, if I am ever blogging where the pictures are! Technology! I tell you! It's great, when it works.<br /><br />If you come and visit me, please leave a comment! I'd be interested to know who is visiting, and where you came from!Vanessahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00619107436962391666noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-66032109537396531.post-41851734225146580062008-07-09T14:04:00.000-07:002008-07-17T11:12:06.951-07:00My Creative OutletLet me just get this out: I am a Creative Memories Consultant, (sort of). I mean, I am, in the sense that I can sell the products. I have had two shows now, and they both went surprisingly well. I started out last June, because I hosted a show, and the starter kit was only about $20 more than what I was going to buy, and had almost all of the things I was looking at buying in it. So I signed up. Got my wonderful kit, and then did nothing. Oh, well, I spent a lot of money, but I didn't try to "build my business" as they say. So at the end of December I deactivated. I had almost everything I wanted anyway. Then in May they were offering a come back free kind of deal, so I did. They had some fun new products out, and it was an easy way to get them at a discount. But then I started thinking, it would be really nice if next time I take maternity leave, if I could stay out of work a little bit longer. So I am working at it. If you are in the Quad City area, and are interested in hosting a Get Together, I would love to hold one for you. Or, I can set up an online show, and you can have a Cyber Get-Together. It might be kind of fun! Just let me know!<br /><br />In other news:<br />I have decided that I am going to try to post a new layout here every week. Why? Because I need motivation. I get almost no scrapping done for myself anymore, and I miss it.Vanessahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00619107436962391666noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-66032109537396531.post-89111872607908149222007-11-02T15:03:00.000-07:002007-11-02T15:05:23.257-07:00Why me, Why scrapping?I first got into scrapbooking because I was invited to a scrapbook party. I will uphold to this day that my husband MADE me go to that party. I didn't want to go. I had fun! It was easy! It was a great creative outlet!<br />Now, it is a VERY expensive hobby! But I still love it.Vanessahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00619107436962391666noreply@blogger.com0
