fun stuff
Posted by Jenn on June 6th, 2008
I’m writing this late Thursday night, after having a great dinner out with Jessica (newtnewt) who’s here from Oregon. We’ll be shopping this evening. . . I can’t wait! Before heading out to dinner, I checked the mail and found a lumpy package with a gorgeous card and a stamp. I laughed, and knew I had to use it here. Thanks, Angie!
The card started out with Beate’s sketch for this weekend. LOVE it! 
Check out what Beate, Cami, Charmaine, Laurie, Lori, Mary Jo, and Sharon came up with - they’re amazing!
Let me know if you’d like to know what I used. It’s just stuff that was on my messy stamp table when I got home.
Why was it messy? I had another package in the mail earlier this week from sweet Lisa Strahl. What a surprise that was! I’m so excited about her new Scrapblocks from CHF. They are such GORGEOUS detailed designs in red rubber - and I’m in love after making this spread from this sketch (from my favorite Saturday morning hangout!). I cannot wait to get the ones I ordered. Thank you, Lisa!
And yeah, I need to figure out how to take pictures of 12×12 double-page spreads!
details:
I used the Pin Dot and Writing Paper Scrapblocks for the page, along with her Motivational Centers and a bunch of Ranger stuff - Grungeboard, Crackle Paint, Stickles . . . good stuff!
Back later with more. Have a great weekend!

Such a CUTE card!! Love the “blah blah blah”
And one of these days your beautiful pages will make me feel so guilty that I’ll start scrappin’ again. It’s been years since I’ve done a page. So bad!
