Holy SCRAP!

Since I moved up here I have been scrappin at MOMS. Let me tell you I have met the nicest ladies. Robin and Coleen are two of the sweeties, and they brought this back from their cruise for me! Talk about the most thoughtful and giving gals around!!!! Thanks chickies your friendship means the world to me. I can't wait to break into my new goodies.

Headed to FUNKY town

More love for the big pieces. Funky paper for a funky set. Enjoyed my Saturday in Harlem. Watched them branding cattle, which was smokey and I had no idea how much went into putting a brand on a cow. They had a waffle iron type thing which was pretty facinating and just a real eye opener to a city girl!

This Past Thursday: Back to Back Meetings

Met two people for the first time, the cutest skunk and the largest bulldog I have ever seen! Just your average Thursday in the life of Lindsey. CA-rAzy I tell ya!

She's only going to be all that for one more day!

And the occasions mini is over on June 30th. These little ladies are too cool. Here is a card that I started 5 months ago. Talk about letting that one marinate. Basically I just wasn't as pleased with it as I thought I would be. I believe it's some sort of color challenge as well. I will have to look into that one though. Laters.

While on the river

Testing out my cousin's new boat "mellow yellow" there was a lot of "they call me mellow yellow" humming going on. These are shots on the Missouri River and of Muskrat Matt skiing and Christian drinking a snocone which he called a Margarita. I love being on the river!

An accomplishment

I am going to a wedding anniversary today. 25 years, that is an accomplishment! Here is the card to celebrate it. It says 25 years and counting. They are ranchers and will be branding this weekend. So hopefully I will come back with some cool photos! Have a great weekend!

Blonde moment

That lasted for a weekend!

Turned down a chance to scrapbook for the entire weekend. Silly girl I am I know. But I would pack all of my current projects I want nothing to do with and do nothing with them for a whole weekend. So made more sense to go where the wind took me.

Got my days confused and had a bunch of people go out and watch an imaginary band Friday night, got a good laugh out of it. Ended up at the Flamingo where a woman fell, hit her head on the table and had to be taken out on a stretcher, then some guy peed on my tires. I guess I wasn't the only one having a blonde moment. But I recovered on Saturday had a nap, a BBQ and when to see Hit-n-Run who was really playing this time. Pheeew!

Just a little gift set...

I have been obsessed with my scor-pal here for the last month. I bought mine from Toni as one of my 1/2 off items! What a deal, and let me tell you it is worth it. I am really pleased with it! I got the template off of the Scor-pal website. These are 3x3 cards which Beate inspired me to make if I need to help get my creative juices flowing. The stamps used in this little card set will only be available until August 11. I thought I would use Snow Flurries in more of a springy less ho ho ho style.

Amazing

What a little sunshine and music will do for you! The dress my bff is wearing was handmade by my cousin when I made my dress- too cute! I think my arms are going to fall off from twirling her around for what seemed like 42 songs!! Here we are jammin with Hit-n-Run at the Alive at Five and Taste of Great Falls.

Birthday wishes

Quick card, inspired by a layout in the 2008 summer Take Ten mag.

Had about enough

This moon deal is really getting to me. I see this great full moon, pull out the ole camera, and it just sits and laughs at me for hours with it's huge golden face. I can't take photos of it to save my life. Alright moon, it's on!

Adios Tagger's Dozen

Antoher great set that is checking out...Tagger's Dozen. While I was picking up the new Stamper's Sampler at Joann's that my friend Toni is featured in, check out her published cards here. I found some chipboard ribbon slides that I totally planned to cover up with ink and such, but the color matched this ribbon I had bought while I lived in Phoenix. Amazing how things come about. I picked up the new Stamper's Sampler, Take Ten and Stamp It! And so far I have been stamping like a mad woman. I have also started over 30 boxes, pouches and such with the ole' score pal. I'M BAAAAAACK!!!!

Somewhere

Over TWO rainbows Lindsey would find a job and be inspired. Any ideas?

Find Joy in a new technique!

While looking for inspiration stumbled upon this blog with a cool faux batik tutorial. It got me movin' and usin' my Tim Holtz scratcher I won at the MOMS retreat.

Lovin' the view

How about you, this is looking over the deck of my aunt's house (where I currently live). Lucky, huh!? The moon has been so bright lately thought I would share. Bear with me and my moon obsession.

I will miss you BIG TIME Big Pieces

This set is on it's way to Florida (where stamp sets go when they retire). Be sure to grab one up before it is gone forever!!! This is also KWERNER's first color inspiration. Hey if it's inspiring me to stamp who cares when you get it done right!!! I will also miss In Color 08' Purely Pomegranate, but if 6 new colors will take it's place it really cushions the loss.

Celebrate the SUNSHINE!!!

These were taken last weekend for the first BBQ of the year, nice weather good food and great company. It's finally here to stay, I hope! After enjoying some sunshine I made a card, will share tomorrow. Hopefully I am back!

Video killed the radio- card

This is a close up of my video card.

Thanks to Kristina

Still have yet to find a new muse. Motivation. Need it. KWERNER motivated me to make this card tonight with her 12th color challenge.

Scrub a dub

This girl has an electric personality. Such a cutie. Right now only photos are moving me.

I have been to 4 crops and have yet to accomplish anything (caught up with a friend from Japan who lives here now as well- konichiwa Cori!!).

I need some inspiration.

I need something.

What is it?

It is missing.

A job perhaps, a new idea, a person to motivate me, whatever it is I need to find it fast. What I want, need, and what will help me create will come to me by next week. Let's hope. Perhaps an altered book of some sort.

Just create,
no rules,
no deadlines,
no thoughts.

I will give it a try on Sunday and fill you in on my progress.

Mooning

Katy found the moon. Fascinating. Not sure what Wayne found in the bush though. Any ideas?
