I'm new at this so if they seem bare to you (I'll add pics..I promise!) then I'll definitely welcome any suggestions :)<br /><br />So, I'm picking up things here and there around the house (ok, free is always good, right?). So far, I have my grandmother's thimble but I'll use that when I break out my sewing machine. <br /><br />Hmmmmm...ok, let's see. <br /><br />I have movie stubs that I'll color (somehow) and make a few of those into some tabs for my journal. I'm also going to tag a movie-type framed picture that I picked up on a discount table at Tuesday Morning for $5.00 :) <br /><br />I wonder if my CriCut has a movie cartridge?<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/32277752-5894397455653712895?l=stubbytate.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>TateTwonoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32277752.post-71805826915135117602010-07-21T09:59:00.003-05:002010-07-21T10:13:16.091-05:00Hello, everyone! I've decided to scrap my ancestry since genealogy is a very important hobby (more like life-work) for me! I have a lot of interesting characters in my tree (ok, yeah, me too!) with diverse backgrounds. I'd love to come up with a plan of action for scrapping them all but I'll just have to fly by the seat of my pants because....<br /><br />now get this (big grin).....<br /><br />I'm new at scrapping! <br /><br />Oh, yeah, baby, totally new at scrapbooking anything! I bought a Cricut Expressions on sale at Big Lots and haven't even used it yet but I'm one to organize first - scrap second but I have a few thoughts on where I want to take the scrapping.<br /><br />1. 3-D - I'm lousy at loving anything that's flat. Thus, the reason I absolutely hate wallpaper in my home. I will, however, consider it for scrapping.<br /><br />2. Animation - I like to be involved with what I'm looking at. I'd like for my scrapping to say, "Oh man, let me sit here and really check this out for a while!" instead of, "Oh, that's a nice card/page." then completely forget all about it.<br /><br />3. Discounts and sales - now, I'm not sayin' I'm cheap (ok, maybe I am) but I do LOVE a serious bargain and scrapping is no exception. So I'll be recycling/reusing and going into the bargain basements to let you know what I find. I don't have a camera yet so I'll have to wait to start putting out some videos but I'm hoping to get to that soon enough. I want my videos to be fun and high quality but you probably will only see my hands. I have terrible stage-fright issues :)<br /><br />4. Outrageous - I don't like pastel colors although I know this is something that I'll have to work with. But my focus will mostly be on bold colors and clean finished products. I don't like a lot of confusion on my designs.<br /><br />Well, that's about it for now. I can't post everyday because of my work schedule and my attempts at finding a full-time job with benefits but if you'll "FOLLOW ME" then auto-updates will surely come your way :)<br /><br />Thank you and have a wonderful day!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/32277752-7180582691513511760?l=stubbytate.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>TateTwonoreply@blogger.com0
