What have you all done this weekend???

Seems like the old house hold cleaning is always there huh? Yep, slowly but surely I am getting to it. Between driving our kids here and there it seems I am never home.
I did finally get to a photo of the crocheted pillow I am working on for my daughter to share with you. Lighting is tricky here, so I hope it looks ok. When I finish this one, there is a similar pattern I will do for my bedroom in soft lettuce green.

It is very soft and fuzzy! I have some cute quilt patterns too, but I haven't touched a quilt in a year. Anyone else have other crafts they do besides the original scrapbooking obsession??

I also was able to get a digital layout done for Karen heckathorne. Here kit is Dirtywords, available at Divine Digital. It is supposed to have a feeling of teen-80's hip. The kit is very fun!! there are other cute images like the flourish and bird that you can recolor or resize and the papers run from a grunge dark teal to this light turqouise. They have numbers and letters and are just a cool funky grouping.

Now I am preparing to plan some layouts and altered projects. Where to being though. How do you pick from the HUGE amount of paper?? Anyone have a system? Do you start with the photos and spend the time going through all your papers because you don't remember what you have-LOL?? Maybe that is just me. Not to mention I hit Ben Franklin and the Local LSS for extras I don't have left or didn't pick up for the store.

I am thinking of filing papers by the manufacturer, but then there is all the miscellaneous brands- how do you deal with that color/pattern/theme??

I would love to hear thought or suggestions of this paper organization, as well on other crafts your doing- can you link me?? I want to see. Have a Good one!!

Almost ready for my digital freebie??

I must say this is the first I have ever done and I leaned toward a simple word art. I will try to get a link for you in the next day or so, but though you might want to see the preview.
These are great for those of you that primarily paper scrap. You can print these onto canvas, cardstock, vellum and transparency. However you need to flip the words before you print, so they come out the correct direction to read. Also if your more tech savvy you can recolor these as well. When I load the links I will add directions for both word and Adobe for printing them off.

I do want to thank Flergs for her use the glitter action used in one of these items. I also decided on a digital design name, even though I am just going freebies. It is Twisted Cherry Designs.

On another subject did you see the AWESOME new chipboard that Tattered Angels is introducing at winter CHA?? Here is the link to the wonderful miss Vicki Chrismans blog that shows them. Love them!! Going to get them for the store, and of course for myself!! Anyone else want these??? Say Yes!!

I am also excited about the Inque Boutique partnership with the now old owners of Junkitz & the new Teresa Collins Line!!

I am still currently working on a yummy crocheted pillow cover for my DD-Kendall, then I will do mine. I will post pictures later this week of what it looks like.

I also picked up some new books this last week: the Autumn Leaves Designing with Details, a new Iris folding book and In this House altered art and imagery. Very interesting things in there.

Do you have any really great inspiration books in your library?? Anything- technical books, design and color, cloth, quilting what do you have that inspired and inspires you? Please leave a post of the titles -love to read and review.
