I just thought I'd share a little video of my kitty Max enjoying the Christmas tree being put together.  LOL  I'm sure I will catch more video or photos of the cats & the tree!

Here is a blurry photo of our tree...lol.  Korbin did most all of the decorating and it turned out great!!!

I know I haven't been on my blog much lately, but with the holidays and Black Friday shopping...my schedule is all thrown off.  I had started rearranging the Scrapcave about a week ago and I finally made it back down there today to finish it up.  I have to thank my wonderful hubby for hanging my ribbon holders and Casey & my son for helping me move the large furniture.  Well, here is the final result. 
p.s. I didn't get around to vacuuming yet.  =D
This is what I use for ribbon holders.  I go to Home Depot and buy the (orange or yellow) sticks that you use to mark your yard & driveway for snow (they cost like $2 each) and then I go to Bed Bath & Beyond and buy just the curtain rod supports (they cost around $5-7 each).  The sticks I bought this time are 6 ft long so I used 3 supports (otherwise it would sag in the center.)

Here they are full of ribbon.  I actually need one more ribbon holder...I guess I have a lot of ribbon. =D  Also, I should mention that I tape the ends of the ribbon because they will completely unravel otherwise.  My kitties love when that happens, but I don't.  LOL

Full view of the Scrapcave.  This is a view of  Casey's desk & her bookshelf on the left.



I bought these baskets at the Dollar General a long time ago and started using them to hold my Cricut booklets & keypads.  I now keep my cartridges in one of those CGull bags.

This is my paper stash!  I love that it is right behind my desk now. =D

This is my desk!  You can see my kitty Maya under my table.  She likes to steal my chair as soon as I get up.  lol

More paper!!!  I'm using that black cd shelf to hold my punches. glitter mist,  and glues.

Our old entertainment center is great for holding my scrapbooking stuff.

This is the view from the opposite end of the room.  I finally cleared all my scrap stuff away from the weight equipment so that the boys can use it this winter.  I should probably use it too...lol!  On the fireplace (on the right) I have all my scrap paper organized in plastic containers and I have my scrap magazines there too.  All my Cricut cart boxes are up by the window in case I need a quick reference.

Before I bought the massive amount of ribbon that I now have, I used to store it in this little basket-thingy.  I bought it at WalMart where they sell the bathroom accessories.  It works great for pulling the strands of ribbon through the slots.  Below that basket, I have about 6 of those plastic containers with ribbon that has been cut and twine-type ribbon.

 I'm not sure how long it will stay this organized and clean, but I am very happy with the way it is arranged now!

Now, I need to get started on the Tiddly Inks Challenge...luckily I have another week to get it done.

Hugs, Tracy

I actually have two princess cards to share with you tonight.  

These were both done for this weeks Tiddly Inks Challenge #29 (Pretty Fall Princesses) link to challenge here.  

I didn't read the word "FALL" before I started on my intial card so after my lovely BF Casey pointed it out, I did another card tonight that is a Fall Princess (which is the one I am entering in the challenge.)  I guess if you are going to do challenges it is best to read them properly!  LOL

This is the original card I did for the challenge but I am not entering because it is not really "Fallish".  I thought it came out really pretty though! The cloud paper came the way it looks (I did not add anything to it.)




This is Key to my Heart from Tiddly Inks (the castle is from Tiddly Inks too.)



I tried using Pointillism (for the driveway) like my favorite artist Georges Seurat.  It is really much harder than it looks...if you have ever seen his painting of  A Sunday Afternoon at La Grande Jatte in person you would realize how amazing of an artist he is.  The painting is at the Art Institute of Chicago and takes up a whole wall by itself.  I never realized how large it was.

Well, back to my card that I am submitting to the challenge...
Isn't she pretty? 


I recently bought some burlap from Michaels and I've been dying to use it!!!  I love the effect and texture it gives the card.  I never thought I would be so excited about burlap!  LOL
This is Gossmere from Tiddly Ink and this is a Tiddly Inks castle too.


Thanks for visiting!

Here is my newest card!  I absolutely love this digi stamp!  For those of you who don't already know...my 15 year old son is OBSESSED with video games (and that is using the term lightly.)   

I have had a hard time finding stamps, digital stamps, and Cricut images that relate to video games...so I asked my amazingly wonderful and talented husband to draw some for me.  The man has some mad skills!  

We are also discussing starting our own digital stamping company.  We will let you know more about that soon.  As of right now we are creating and compiling some images.  My post yesterday was his first image and this is the second. That is why I was asking for the comments.  Dear Hubby is not used to drawing "cartoonish" images so he really wanted some honest feedback.  Right now, he is taking requests for ideas...lol! 

If you have a moment, please leave a comment with your thoughts on this digi image : )



I used Basic Grey papers from the Oliver line (love this line!)  I colored with my Copics and wrote the sentiment with my green Souffle pen.




These are the markers I used on this digi.  I used the gray Spica pen on the wrist band.

Thanks for looking!

This is my newest card!  I had a ton of fun coloring this one.  It is sooooo perfect for a teen boy!

Please leave a comment and let me know what you think about this digi stamp...be honest.


If you click on the image it will bring it up for larger/closer viewing.  Thanks!

I am so excited!  The wonderful Nicole from Canadian Nickel Scrap'n  gave me an award because she thinks my blog has ATTITUDE!!!  That is so awesome!

In order for me to receive this award I have to list three things that make me different from everyone else.  Here goes...

1.  I have many different laughs (and I am always laughing.)  I have a Betty Rubble laugh, I have a laugh that sounds like my BF's dog's wimper (and yes, her dog actually responds to my laugh by wimpering...true story), I have a loud abnoxious laugh, I have a laugh that stays in my throat and sounds really weird, and I snort!  There are many other laughs too, but these surface the most and I don't realize that I'm making those sounds until someone says something (except for the throat one because it's weird and kinda hurts). lol

2.  I think I have a split personality (not really)...because a lot of times I feel like I haven't changed much from my teenage years...I still like the same crazy music that most people don't like and I totally think I am cool around my son's friends (which I guess I'm not, by the way.)  But the other part of me feels my age...a whopping 34.  Honestly, I feel like my age 34 personality is the fake one :)  I just love to be "out there" and flaunt an "I don't care" attitude.  But at the same time I am a people pleaser and I'm very responsible and that is not fake.  I guess it comes down to I'm 34 and I still haven't found my identity.  I probably never will.  lol

3.  I would probably die if pizza and moutain dew suddenly vanished from the face of the Earth.  Besides shopping for scrapbooking and stamping stuff (and crafting)...my other two biggest addictions are pizza and mountain dew!!!  My friends literally give me frozen pizza's and mtn dew for birthday presents!  lol

Well, you can probably see that I love talking and my hubby and friends say that I take forever to tell a story or complete a thought.  That's just me, I guess.

Now, I have to nominate FIVE people (that I think have ATTITUDE) to get this award, and if they follow through with the "rules", they receive a $5 gift certificate from Digi's with Attitude!

1.  Stacie
2.  Val
3.  Angela
4.  Lysa
5.  Casey

Please display this badge proudly in your sidebar and link it to the Digi's With Attitude! Challenge Blog. To qualify for the $5.00 Digi's With Attitude! Store Gift Certificate please read the guidelines here.

Well, thank you all for supporting me and my blog! I love to share and talk all things scrappin' & stampin'!  And, thanks Nicole for thinking that my blog has attitude!  I am truly mind-boggled and in awe to have someone who has so many followers to pick me for this!  That is an honor in itself!


Hugs~Tracy
