A CREATIVE JUNE!!!

yesterday while i was checking out bloglines, i came across this post by beth johnson.

ummm hello!

brilliant idea.

especially since i haven't created anything since national scrapbooking day (um, have i shared those lo's yet?) so i told her i was game and so far i've created something every day (gimme a break, i know its only the 3rd, but hey, that's at least three things done right?)

so here's what i got done so far:

june 1st

cork board1
i bought this lil cork board at the thrift store for less than $0.75
painted it blue with some paint i already had on hand and added four lil white hooks to it!

june 2nd

swim
lo for current noel mignon challenge. the challenge is to do a summer lo and what says summer like swimmin'.

what a goof ball
lo for current scrap your crap challenge. you had to use a mix of stickers and who doesn't have a ton of stickers laying around!

my csi guy
new scrap jacked challenge! this is my new fave. love this pic of michael. i took it at work using a polaroid and if you can't figure it out, that's his badge in his mouth. i also did a photo transfer of this photo that i'll share later (talk about an addicting craft!)

june 3rd

canvas-create
a lil canvas i made. the size is 5x7. i used vintage fabric and buttons. and of course some american thickers. its the perfect lil thing to sit on/near my scrap desk! and of course there's that yellow!

ye pirate ship
a lo of my two fave boys!

so wow!

i can't believe how much i have gotten done in three days. and i know the main reason that i have gotten stuff done. i spent 8 hours (yes 8 hours!) cleaning, rearranging furniture, throwing stuff away, and throwing stuff into boxes for my two winners (so if you gals were wondering, i'm still throwing stuff in them and then waiting on you gals to get settled into your new homes :)

its now cleaned up and out and more airy feeling. its just a great space. now i still have a dining room table filled with crap that i gotta move around, but i think i needed the crafty break.

so thanks beth for the inspo :)
