I have the afternoon off, but must go to the doc first. Then I'll hopefully get a little scrapping done...before kickball.
Dorothy

OH... bologna sounds good... wonder if the kids left any in the fridge.

Ditto Tigger, 1 away.
I'm redoing a paint can for Todd's sister. This stupid can is pissing me off but I have to have it ready by tomorrow so I really need to get it done. Todd "offers suggestions" (criticises) and then gets frustrated when I ask for advice. Well I don't want to hear your "suggestions" then!!
Okay had to get that off my chest.
Bologna sounds good, I wonder if there's any in the fridge.

No bologna, so macaroni and cheese for me and the kids.
Kaylee's fever just won't go away -- I give her the tylenol and she's good for an hour or two and then it spikes back up. Ugh!!

I'm trying to figure out how to shut down this garage sale so I can start scrapping!!

Amy's painting tip - The front of plastic packages (like what chipboard letters come in, the plastic on the front and then the cardboard back) Once you peel off the cardboard back, That plastic front makes a GREAT place to put paint - like a pallett (?) DOES THIS MAKE ANY SENSE TO ANYONE?
Dorothy
06-23-2006, 12:43 PM
That makes perfect sense!!! And I have about 10 of those packages in my trash bag since I was unpacking & opening new stuff earlier! THANKS!!!!
Tigger
06-23-2006, 12:48 PM
Took me a minute, but then I got it!!! Great tip.

I don't think she did yet... I know I need a new one. This one took a severe beating during my move. I'm surprised it didn't break when I picked it up to put it on.
flamyngo

You won't believe what my mom and I just did! I pulled out my alcohol inks (which I have never used) and a lunch pail and said "let's play!". We have spent the last hour inking the pail, a glass vase, buttons, a recipe card box, foil.... it was actually her inking more than me, but it was fun!!!
Dorothy
06-23-2006, 02:31 PM
oh what fun!!! Alcohol inks are great stuff!

OK I have a question... hopefully not TOO dorky a question LOL
Tea staining. Can I really just steep a teabag and use the tea on my paper?? (I know I saw/read this somewhere but I want to ask the experts :wink: )
CherylS
06-23-2006, 06:19 PM
Anybody? bueller?.....

CherylS
06-23-2006, 06:39 PM
I need to distress/stain/age my paper and I don't have any REAL product to do it with...Maybe I'll try it and just see what happens. I think I saw it on DIY scrapbooking.
DonnaJ
06-23-2006, 06:45 PM
Use a scrap and give it a try - it will need time to dry most likely!
Schnauzermom
06-23-2006, 06:46 PM
I'm trying to remember what I've heard about the acidity of teabags, and can't.
Scrappingbride
06-23-2006, 06:46 PM
Cheryl I did it once but I used vellum. It wrinkled up a lot but I found if you dry it between 2 layers of paper towels and put a phone book or something heavy on top, it will dry flatter. It can be done. I used 2 teabags- here's the LO- here (http://www.scraplove.com/gallery/showimage.php?i=4791&c=20) All the brown vellum is teastained. I left it in a casserole dish (flat) until it was dark enough for me. I kept checking it.
CherylS
06-23-2006, 06:47 PM
I'm thinking what I heard was that as long as the tea is NOT sweetened then it's ok...
CherylS
06-23-2006, 06:48 PM
Ohhh! Thanks Bethany!
CherylS
06-23-2006, 06:50 PM
Wow! I remember seeing that lo. That turned out great!
DonnaJ
06-23-2006, 06:54 PM
I can't decide what I want to do first!!!
I have several layouts in mind already.
I have puzzle pieces to do (thought I'd save them to have Peepers help me tomorrow :evil6:)
And the Luau things to make!
How is a girl to decide????
TXAngie
06-23-2006, 06:56 PM
I feel the same way, Donna. I don't know where to start. I got 2 LO's done this afternoon, but now I need to decide what I want to work on.
lilysmom
06-23-2006, 07:08 PM
Regarding tea staining (if you still want to know). I tried it once. What I did was put a little bit of boiling water in a cup and I threw a teabag or 2 in there and let that sit for awhile. I tried just putting some of the condensed tea on my paper, but it really didn't seem to stain it much, so I basically just ran the teabags over the paper and let it dry and did it again a time or 2 till it was darker. I put my paper in the oven to help it dry quicker, but the paper got warped. I'm sure you could iron it out, though. I hope I made some sort of sense.

06-23-2006, 07:11 PM
dammit, Photoshop is doing auto update. Well, the file must be HUGE, it has been updating for 20 minutes.
Of course I didn't plan ahead and have my pictures printed, no, had to wait. I could use iPhoto, it does a decent job, but I thought I would do all my editing and save them with photoshop.

Hey girls! I'm FINALLY home! We've been having TERRIBLE thunderstorms and we got stuck out away from home and couldn't leave.

Well, lovelies, I've got to stop for the night. We have Day2 of the garage sale tomorrow.
So far I have 3 LO's done, 2 with Amy's sketches, and I've got a bingo on Jesse's game. At least I think so...
Good night everyone. I'll check in when I have a chance tomorrow.
It's been fun!!
Cynthia
06-23-2006, 09:48 PM
The step-by-step instructions with photos are awesome. I am so loving this crop. Bravo to all involved in pulling this thing together!!!
I think I am caught up on all the Luau threads now and can go scrap totally inspired!!
Mucho scratchyass, Amigas!
CherylS
06-23-2006, 10:02 PM
Ya know, I have always admired Tigger's work. But after today that admiration has gone to a whole new level. I am working on the scraplift challenge, and lifting one of HERS. I have been working all evening and I'm STILL not done. And even after putting all this work and time into it, it still does not compare to the original.
But I'm almost done! :banana:

Dorothy
06-24-2006, 12:03 AM
Do you mean adding a link to your post? Or making part of your post a hyperlink? Or inserting a pic? lol
If you want to link in your post, just copy & paste the link of whatever image you have uploaded to the gallery... or wherever you want to link.
Let me know if you want to do the other things & I'll explain those too!
SusieQ

Dorothy
06-24-2006, 12:37 AM
Link your projects in the specific thread for that project... and anything that isn't for one of the classes/make-n-takes/challenges, then link it in the Store Challenge to be eligible for the super duper prize!
If you have any trouble, just post & say what you want there... I can help add the link for you! That's my job! lol I'm an official helper for the crop!

I need SUGGESTIONS!
The page I'm working on is just some of my favorite pictures of last summer that are kind of misc. - you know like if I had ONE really good pic of some event, but didn't really need it's own page, but also doesn't fit with anything else. It's what I'm working on in the pic of me scrapping pic.
ok - anyway - I painted letters to spell SUMMER for part of the title, but then was going to put little rubons or something under it to say something else...so...
SUMMER... ?

My dh didn't have to work today after all. I wish I would have gotten up early and went to Rhonda's, dang it. But my ds kept me up after I FINALLY went to bed at some unknown point this morning LOL So I slept in.
Now I think I'll work on a card, then maybe get a couple more lo's done.

Question... can I combine challenges? Like say I make a card or lo with doodling on it, would it count for BOTH of those challenges??
NOT that I did one, just wondering lol

Ok girls .... I think you have corrupted me. I went garage sale shopping this morning. I was digging through the kids books and bought a bunch of board books for altering. Then I bought these wooden boxes (microscope slide boxes) the old guys at the sale kept telling me how they were so old and those companies weren't even in business anymore .....I did not tell them I planned on altering them.
So now I'm waiting for the hubby to get home from work so he can find me the sander and then watch the child.
OMG! I can't believe I'm gonna try altering.
Jeanne

help me think. I have a small container. Iwant to alter it. I Don't know what to put in it though. I don't want to tell you what the container is because that's the funniest part of it....but I need to decide what I am going to put in it before I alter it...any suggestions? think the size/length of your hand closed. and about 2 inches wide. so lots of room inside.

06-24-2006, 11:24 AM

As soon as I eat something and get rid of this headache, I'm going to crop. (Or crap as I first typed.) Plus I'm sitting here in my bra and underwear because I'm hot, so I'll have to get dressed, too.

So does the luau continue through tomorrow or is it over today but we have tomorrow to upload stuff?
