So what do fishing and scraps and blog candy have to do with each other?? Nothing! But today they are all part of this post! Here's a peek of the fishing page and then on to BLOG CANDY!!
I'll tell you more about it below ;) It is time for some goodies for one of my readers...I haven't done any in a while. Please leave a comment on this post (including your posting number) by Friday at 11pm EST. So what do you have to do? Tell me whats on your ipod right now...or what cd have you bought recently? I need some new tunes to download so just give me some suggestions!
Thats it and I'll let you know on Saturday:) Oh, you want to know what you win?? here's a peek at that:
There is a new unmounted stamp set from Stampin' Up! (Sidekick sayings hostess set) , some 6x6 Fall Flowers DSP, a pad of PP from K & Co, a bunch of ribbon and 2 COPIC markers so that you can give them a try!!
Now...I am back to the topic of scraps. I know you are sick of hearing this this week...but I am on a mission! I am trying to make cards with pieces from the scrap basket, and I am trying to force myself to use scrappin kits that I ordered way back when that have just sat there. For this page I picked a kit.
Actually I picked the kit and told myself that I WOULD use it no matter what. I wasn't really fond of the copper sticker letters or the chipboard pieces or even the patterns on the PP...too blah for me. so I had to head off to my pics to see what might work.
What I found was a pile of pics from Rachael's camping trip last summer with the Greene family. These 2 pics were the right color for this page so I went from there. The large circle was PP already in that shape which made that easy-peasy!! did you notice that I actually pulled out the trusty old sewing machine for this one?? <<Gasp>> I think it may live on the table for a while so that it gets used more often. Its not that I don't like to sew on my pages or cards...the monster just takes up too much space in an already cluttered room.
Then all I did was use the pieces that came in the kit and add a bit of jornaling. Then I remembered the fishing rod in the new "Cozy on Up" set from H & M Stamps. Tada!! Just what it needed :) Thats it for now. I will have some CC Designs cards for you tomorrow and I may sneak in a bit of Unity tonight...my last order just arrived!
Thanks for stopping in! Happy Tuesday :) -Cyndi
- Supplies:
- Stamps: Cozy on Up (H&M Stamps)

I just bought the soundtrack to Juno- pretty good, but some songs are not kid friendly, and I wasn't prepared! :)

#11 - Great page! The stamps go so nicely with the pictures. We just got the new Coldplay album. I usually listen to a new album 5 times at least before I can decide if I like it or not! :)

Hi Cyndi- Cute page. I have a pile of Scrappin' Kits waiting to be opened up and put together. Guess I better get started sometime!
I think the last cd I bought was a Josh Groban one.

I actually started putting books on my ipod and listen while I clean house. My favorite music is anything by Maroon 5. A great way to get music, is to get CDs from your local library and put those on the IPOD.

Hmm, you probably wouldn't like most of the music on my ipod--unless you like hard rock/metal. I recently bought some new Foo Fighters, Madonna, Three Days Grace and Chevelle.

I just came across your blog and I absolutley love it! This is definately a blog that I will bookmark.
Anyway, I listen to Heavy Metal. I have found that not a whole lot of crafter listen to that so you JUST might not be interested in what I have on my ipod. Artists include: Slipknot, Fear Factory, Pantera, Chimara adn Killswitch Engage.

I think I'm actually #20. I listen to metal. Slipknot, Korn, Rammstein, Pantera, Metallica, etc. Although, hubby and I just went to a Poison concert the other night (free tix) and had a blast! So we've been listening to old hair band stuff lately! :) Love the blog! And thanks for the chance! :o)
