I had 4 boxes that were still taped up and 2 that were opened and rummaged through. So, for the past 2 weeks, I have been unpacking and organizing all of my things. When I lived in Michigan, I had a large spare bedroom in which I had one twin size bed and the rest was devoted to scrapbooking and stamping. However, here I have a small room that has one set of bunk beds and one twin size bed in it, and that is the room I had to "create" my scrappin area. It was hard, but I have used most of the closet and also built a cabinet/bookshelf that I have jammed all of my stuff on. I hope to one day get rid of one of the beds and purchase more storage units for my scrapbooking/stamping things, but for now, this will have to do.</span><br /><br /><embed class="xg_slideshow" src="http://c2.static.ning.com/socialnetworkmain/widgets/photo/slideshowplayer/slideshowplayer.swf?v=201006161005" quality="high" bgcolor="#" width="500" height="394" allowFullScreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" scale="noscale" wmode="opaque" FlashVars="feed_url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.papercraftplanet.com%2Fphoto%2Fphoto%2FslideshowFeedAlbum%3Fsort%3D%26screenName%3D%26id%3D2076575%3AAlbum%3A1038534%26tag%3D%26useTags%3D0%26fullscreen%3Dtrue%26x%3D9D1gkyu0IWQeSY1L3xLUJ4T5WRJG17uU%26x%3D9D1gkyu0IWQeSY1L3xLUJ4T5WRJG17uU&autoplay=1&hideShareLink=1&config_url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.papercraftplanet.com%2Fphoto%2Fphoto%2FshowPlayerConfig%3Fx%3D9D1gkyu0IWQeSY1L3xLUJ4T5WRJG17uU%26xn_auth%3Dno%26feed_url%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.papercraftplanet.com%252Fphoto%252Fphoto%252FslideshowFeedAlbum%253Fsort%253D%2526screenName%253D%2526id%253D2076575%253AAlbum%253A1038534%2526tag%253D%2526useTags%253D0%2526fullscreen%253Dtrue%2526x%253D9D1gkyu0IWQeSY1L3xLUJ4T5WRJG17uU%2526x%253D9D1gkyu0IWQeSY1L3xLUJ4T5WRJG17uU%26version%3D4859%253A9abd0cb_72_72_17&slideshow_title=&fullsize_url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.papercraftplanet.com%2Fphoto%2Fphoto%2Fslideshow%3Ffeed_url%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.papercraftplanet.com%252Fphoto%252Fphoto%252FslideshowFeedAlbum%253Fsort%253D%2526screenName%253D%2526id%253D2076575%253AAlbum%253A1038534%2526tag%253D%2526useTags%253D0%2526fullscreen%253Dtrue%2526x%253D9D1gkyu0IWQeSY1L3xLUJ4T5WRJG17uU" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"> </embed> <br /><small><a href="http://www.papercraftplanet.com/photo/photo">Find more photos like this on <em>Paper Craft Planet</em></a></small><br />Allysonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17717569301009325498noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8519232105252219096.post-66664319771887734222010-06-21T15:00:00.004-05:002010-06-24T12:56:33.071-05:00Made a random card...After another day of working on getting my scrapbook/stamping room (aka: guest bedroom) organized, I decided I would take a moment and actually work on a card!<br /><br />This is what I came up with:<br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_sdUd6Z0J9DE/TCOZEmcACkI/AAAAAAAAAFA/Mrc19V4anss/s1600/GEDC0232.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 163px; HEIGHT: 203px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5486397075383913026" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_sdUd6Z0J9DE/TCOZEmcACkI/AAAAAAAAAFA/Mrc19V4anss/s200/GEDC0232.JPG" /></a> <img style="WIDTH: 178px; HEIGHT: 130px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5486396161347393570" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_sdUd6Z0J9DE/TCOYPZYtmCI/AAAAAAAAAE4/Mo7kX2qpe9s/s200/GEDC0234.JPG" /><br /></div><br /><strong>Stamp</strong>: Loads of Love from <a href="http://www.stampinup.com/us/enu/default.asp">Stampin Up</a><br /><br /><strong>Techniques</strong>: I used <a href="http://www.ctmh.com/en/Products/Online_Idea_Book.aspx">liquid glass</a> from CTMH to make the window of the truck look glossy, water colored pencils to color the truck, foam dots to "pop-up" the truck, and finally some brads as the hubcaps of the tires.Allysonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17717569301009325498noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8519232105252219096.post-34471608237585272482010-06-20T10:00:00.000-05:002010-06-24T10:59:38.452-05:00Scrap4aCause<a href="http://scrap4acause.blogspot.com/"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 322px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 99px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_PILgb1zuryI/SggqMpztX8I/AAAAAAAAATs/pDKk4Ri1Bow/S660/Scrap+4+a+cause+blogheader.jpg" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://scrap4acause.blogspot.com/2010/05/woohoo-another-scrap4acause.html"><span style="font-size:130%;color:#006600;"><strong><em>Scrap4aCause</em></strong></span></a><span style="font-size:130%;"> <span style="color:#009900;">is</span><span style="color:#009900;"> being held in Columbia on <strong><em>July 9-11th</em></strong> and I've officially registered for the whole weekend!
