An altered organizer and some scrappin

Gosh I am so glad we got some rain this am!! Grow asparagus grow!! cant wait to pick some and grill it!!

I did work in my studio this am had a challenge lo to do and also wanted to TRY to help myself be more organized this year for markets.  I am forever placing orders on pieces of paper and then well not sure where I put it!???  u know all bout it dont you?? LOL

So quite awhile ago I bought pkgs of these pretty pink and brown floral file folders hoping to do something with them!! well so here it is a order organizer for my desk.  I added the days of the week to the tabs, a pocket is inside each one and then added a few pretty embellishments on the front.  Hopefully this will help!!  fingers crossed!! LOL

This is a layout I did for a challenge submission using a black and white photo.  The pic is of my hubby's grandmother and her twin.  CUTIES!! Added a bunch of new paper prima flowers layered and then cut out a vine and leaves from some textured green cardstock.  Then used my wonderful TIM HOLTZ distressing inks to give just the right amount of aged beauty to this piece.  There is lots of ribbon accents too, under the flowers, along the bottom I twisted some black old seam binding and also some brown on the tag.

Double Trouble and when these two get together watch out~~~LOL

 love ya Granmda Jan!!

And this one i like alot, a lo to include butterflies~ some pretty butterflies sure pop off the page dont they?  The bottom one is patterened paper ontop of a chipboard cut out and then put ontop of some old sheetmusic paper and oh love the vintage velvet light green rickrak ribbon!!  love rick rak!!

Love is painted chipboard and then given a bit of bling with Martha Stewart's white glitter.  I used a flourish stamp on the top corners.

Handmade cards

I had some free scrappin time this early am and made up a few get well cards.  Love the colors together too!!  So I used some patterened papers, some chipboard cutouts that I bought from Hobby Lobby, a great little verse stamp from STAMPING UP collection, and also a couple of flowers oh and of cource my newest favo thing Bakers Twine!!  The swirls and bracket were cut from green cardstock and the chipboard pieces were painted sanded just a bit and misted with Cherry Blossom spray by TATTERED ANGELS, great glimmer mist. 

A litte sheer pink ribbon and light green bakers twine add just the right touch to the flowers.  I did a bit of zig zag stitches with my sewing machine and also distressed the edge of papers. 

Well it is really REALLY snowing here now!!! we did get quite a few inches already and more coming tonight.   I did just get home from the kitchen had to make more of my peanut peanut butter whoppie pies, cranberry pecan lemon sandwich cookies and also made up some more of my espresso sandwich cookies for orders and also for at the shop this week.  And more sugar cookie pops to decorate to add to arrangements or they are cute just as a cookie arrangement.   Lots of stuff to do yet to get ready for valentines.  Hubby loves those peanut butter pies so  I made extra to wrap some up and put in his truck as a nice little suprise.  Now just have to make a cute card and have all the boys sign it with their little piggy prints!! just for daddy!! LOL 

Have a great tues yall!!
