LATE AT NIGHT...

and still a lot to do.

Yep - that's the situation I'm facing right now.  My plane leaves in 11 hours - and I haven't even opened up my suitcase.

I'm sitting here sharing a cocktail with my husband - finishing up a scrapbook page for Valley Forge and blogging. I mean - a girl has to have priorities.  Right?

That's what I thought!

I realized that my last several posts were very wordy.  Lots of words and not a lot of pictures.  So I figured I'd better rectify that before I leave town for the weekend.  So for your viewing pleasure - some pictures and a video!

Yep - a video.

Now calm yourselves - it's basically just me making a whole lot of gestures with my hands.  I guess that's a habit of mine...but it's funny to watch!

Scrap-Mart Quick-Tip 2 VIDEO

And here is a picture of the finished quick-card. I added a few Stickles and Liquid Pearls after I stopped filming. It added just that little "something" that I love!



And then I had to show you the page that went out in the Scrap-Mart newsletter.



In this page I used:
QK University
QK Nutmeg
Squares and Dots Border die
QK Reinforced Tag (Grand)
and the old Singlekutz Wine Bottle

I loved how this one came out. Mainly because it is a photograph that my father emailed me from his trip last Saturday. Talk about your speedy scrapper - huh?

And this one I just finished this afternoon. I just had to use the Chicago alphabet before I got on the plane tomorrow. Mainly because I didn't think I was going to like it, but I needed to know that for sure. But you know what - I think this font is going to be one of the more popular 2x2s. I love it. It's classic and timeless. And it seems to mix with anything...



I used:
QK Chicago
QK Magnolia
I didn't add another thing - because I think the pictures speak for themselves. I guess I really should go back and add the date I took the pictures. I'll do that before tomorrow morning...I promise!

So those are some visual goodies for you. I'm leaving at oh-dark-thirty tomorrow morning, and I'm meeting up with the Ms. Laura and Mr. Doss in Philadelphia. Then it's on to Valley Forge. I don't even think most of them know we're coming.

So prepare yourselves Pennsylvania. The Scrap-Mart wave is roll ling in tomorrow.

I'll try and blog from the airport...you crazy readers you!

PEACE!

Susan, I just love the pages and can't wait to see them in person. I am so looking forward to coming to Valley Forge and seeing you again. Also can't wait to see all the new stuff you are bringing with you. See you then.
