celebrate with style

i've been kind of busy lately not a lot of time to post. i'll make up for it this weekend by actually doing a decent post. but here's a quickie of a card i made.
i purchased these cute prima flowers and loved the colors so much. they're so bold and bright they embody my scrap-style. to make them the focal point i did the rest of the card in black and white.
thanks for looking leave comments if you have any questions.

OH! don't forget about the GIVEAWAY!!! just make a christmas card and post it-and leave a comment, i'll be picking a winner soon :)

Toya's Must Haves for August

Last month I shared with you my July wish list. I am proud to say that I purchased one item from my list: "The Fiskars Square Punch", and I must say I love it. I also picked up two border punches by Martha Stewart.

I am going to share something very important about myself: I LOVE TO SHOP! It is like therapy, and finding a sale or clearance item gets my adrenaline going. I just feel as though you can NEVER EVER EVER have too many scrap booking supplies!

Since I have been on vacation I find myself browsing the web late at night and finding new and old stamps. Plus lots of other products I've never seen before. Many times after watching a MACM or Finally Friday video, I'm introduced to a stamp or new technique and I just have to have the products they use. Then I become obsessed with trying to find a good deal on it, so I search various web sites like Two Peas, Ebay, or Frugalities to see who has the best deal. It may appear crazy or abnormal but I love it. So this month I decided to share with you some things I found that are now on my August wish list.

SCMS-finding joy everyday

here's the first scat card making session!! i've been watching different scrapbookers and card makers on youtube, and it looked like so much fun. i had to try it for myself. i was so excited making this video, and very nervous. (as i'm sure you'll be able to tell since i stumble over many words. =) hope you enjoy. if you have any questions please leave them in the comments.

Toya's Must Haves

Like most scrapbookers I feel like I can never have too many new tools, gadgets and product to explore. I was thinking about all the wonderful things I have on my "Must Have" list and decided to share it with everyone.
