...to a lot of stuff but this time I'm talking about Starbucks Coffee. So when we were in Seattle, visiting the first Starbucks was a must! Here we are:                                                     My husband brings me starbucks cards as little 'just because' gifts. Especially when he sees something unique or pretty. He brought me these wood veneer cards! I think he saw my stash of wood veneer :)  I used:  Type of Art Stack  Kidlet Stack  Cork stack 

I was given a free class to review from  DailyCraft TV  and I chose a class with Lisa Bearnson called '50 Moments: Scrapbook the pages that matter the most.' You can learn about it here:  http://www.dailycrafttv.com/videos/4037_50-moments-scrapbook-the-pages-that-matter-most/  (Reg. price $4.99) Although the class was free for me, this is  my honest opinion . Nothing but the truth here ;) Wow! I LOVE her style in this class! I really felt like I was sitting across the desk from her and felt like she was talking to me :) As you know, I'm one of the growing number of scrapbookers who do not have children. I was a little thrown off at first with this class because it starts off with a heavy focus on children. However, I watched the entire thing and got a lot out of it. Basically, this class helps you  make pages about different important topics like things you believe, your comfort foods, traditions, lessons you've learned, what you do for fun ...

Welcome to the DCWV  &  Therm O Web Summer Lovin’ Blog hop!  Today, the design teams from DCWV and Therm O Web have brought together all the things we love about summer ! The designers have combined paper from DCWV’s Sunday Afternoon and Everlasting Love stacks, together with a variety of adhesives, mists and other fantastic products from Therm O Web.  If you have come here from Alice's blog then you're on track! If not, you should go back to the DCWV blog and start the hop from there! I love summer because it's the only time I get to travel (I'm a teacher). My husband and I also got married in the summer and this summer will be our  10th anniversary !!!  I  made this mini to document our summers over the years :)       My mini book is chipboard covered with gesso & paper. I used Therm oWeb Glitter Dust spray in Pink to spray the edges of the mini book. ...

This paper is marshmellow by Lily Bee sweet shop. Love the hearts scattered with the dots, like a heart bokeh effect. The bottom LO is the back of this paper. Used some of the OA Travel girl collection.  Don't forget to enter my giveaway here .  Come back Monday for an awesome blog hop with DCWV and Thermoweb with prizes up for grabs, of course ;)    Thanks for looking! 

(If you could use new supplies, don't forget to enter my giveaway HERE )   Used up some Making Memories travel stickers and DCWVs Snapshot stack & clear envelope as well as a rarely used set of alpha stamps also by MM. Mixed it with fairly new SC camera stickers, OA alphas & DCWV's Glitzy stack.

     I made these 4 LO's to participate in a few challenges on Big Picture Classes and Shimelle's Blog.  I started a little before 10am this morning. I broadcasted live using Ustream but the chat didn't work the entire day. It said it was having trouble connecting to the server :(  We took a 2 hour lunch break and went to West Hollywood for some amazing Argentinian Empanadas. Delicious!  I got to scrapbook again for a few hours and now off to bed!  National Scrapbooking Day should become a week long celebration!  National Scrapbooking week...Sounds nice, right?

Happy National Scrapbooking Day!!!   Let's scrap together :) I love this day and I love it even more when it happens on the weekend.  Come  join me in my scraproom  as I stream  live on Ustream .  I'll link it up here when It's on.  I'm on here:  http://www.ustream.tv/channel/madebykarla I will have a chat available as well.  I'll be playing along with the  Creative Crop  from Big Picture Classes and with  Shimelle on her Blog   You'll be able to see what's happening on  my desk , live. I will be scrapbooking as much as possible. I mean, I gotta stop to eat, right? lol  Let me know what fun stuff you'll be doing today. I'd love to come check it out :)  Oh! and don't forget to enter the NSD  giveaway here .

I was listening to the Paperclipping Roundtable and heard something interesting... http://www.paperclipping.com/prt156-palpitations-sometimes/   ... if your paper stack is not taller than you, then it's not hoarding .  I knew I was in trouble :p   I love paper! Can you tell? In case you're wondering...   1 .No, I don't think I'm hoarding. I will have reached my limit if I fill up my shelves in the scraproom and in the garage. Ha! But I am worried about the flammability of my house.   2 .No, that is not ALL my paper. I left out a few inches of cardstock  3 . Most of these papers are DCWV because it's my favorite and they are just that generous with their design team :)  4 . My other favorites include Dear Lizzy and Echo Park  5 .Yes, I do know who has a taller stack of paper...Erin Madsen  6 . yes, I do have a place to keep my papers and yes, they all fit ;)  7 . Yes, I also think it's time for a giveaw...
