Edith Fitzbolt I chose this paper because I wanted the red that signifies disney but for this particular layout I wanted to high light that border. This paper gave me the look of Minnie's dress even though it was not a Disney themed paper.
Vinyl Thickers
Glitter Thickers Well what can I say it was late. I thought I looked carefully at my vinyl thickers only to lay them all down and be short an e. So I looked at the Tara Glitter Thickers in black and made the vowels match. I love the mix and match look and it's great for accidents.
Cricket Cartridge "Graphically Speaking" (the two's and the Note Pad)
The scalloped circle and the journaling card came from the Magic Line. I love this sheet with all the circles. I used a smaller circle just to highlight the note paper and then the small journaling card for the information. There are still plenty of circles and a few other stickers to make use of on this Magic Circles sheet.
To make the border of two's show up I laid a newspaper over the part of my paper that I didn't want to spray. I misted the paper that was showing. Laying the newspaper down gave me a crisp edge. I like this look because I was able to darken only the section the border would lay on and could keep the popping red for the rest.
Haunted Shadows Glimmer Mist
I am laughing at myself as I post this. I got home around 4:30 in the afternoon Saturday after a movie with a friend. No husband, no kids and the group crop had ended early. I already knew I was going to use my Cricuit to cut shapes for the journaling cards I needed to make for our scrapbooking group. I spent a good hour cutting with the cricuit to find that I finally had the 12 pieces I needed. You know how it is. You think a size is fine cut the full 12 thinking you are saving yourself time only to find that it just won't work. LOL
I fiddled around and found paper to mount the journaling card on, the stamp, the embellishments and the ink to stamp the lines. Next thing I knew it was after 6 and I still needed dinner and adhesive. GRRRR To make a long story short I was up till 11:30 scrapping and got 12 journaling cards and this one page done! Crazy right? And the only reason I got this page done is because I forgot to hit shift to get the image I needed and got that border of two's.
I hope that everyone is getting a LONG weekend! We all need it every now and then.

Design Team Member Spotlight: Michelle Jacquemet
Where are you from? Pacifica, California What is the name and link of your blog? Mission Creativity http://michellejacquemet.blogspot.com/ What is your day job? I work for a camera gear rental company in the Bay Area. I work the front desk and schedule. My position changes frequently since we are a small start up company. What fad of scrapbooking did you never get into? I never really got into scrapping with corrugated cardboard. Sometimes it is difficult for me to scrap messy. What do you feel is the biggest waste of time in scrapbooking? Deciding what paper to use. I always try to match the colors in my photographs. I suppose this takes so long since there are so many incredible choices out there. What would you call your scrapbooking style? My style is very colorful and playful. I love to experiment and try out new techniques on my projects. What item will we always find on your projects? Lately you will find stamping and embossing of everything. Of course I love to use bright colors. Hambly overlays, rub-ons, and lots of layers. What sparks your creativity when you are scrapbooking? I am inspired by many things. I enjoy listening to music, watching Friends, or hanging out with friends while scrapbooking. New product, a photo, or an Ali Edwards book always encourages inspiration for me too. What is your favorite layout of all time and why? I have a lot of favorite layouts. It is really hard to choose just one since my taste and style changes with time. This is one of my most favorite recent pages, because of the bright colors, the photo is distorted with a fish eye lens, and it's layered with lots of Hambly. I love it so much I had a copy framed for my office at work.
These are definitely a now or never type product! I know you will love them all, but there you will especially enjoy the Winter 2009 Marshmallow. I ordered more than usual to ensure you all get a chance to stock up after looking at my Design Team's wish lists for the Tattered Angel lines. These are limited edition colors. Don't wait to order these. Once they are gone, they're gone! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Three Cosmo Cricket Lines are making their way to the shop
Early Bird, Earth Love, and Boyfriend will soon be here. Thought Early Bird was already released? It was but the company didn't make enough of their chipboard sheet and they decided to make a mini paper pack in this paper pattern and that is what will be in the store.

With the holidays coming so fast we need more hours in our day. One way I've found to help is quick and easy meals. Here is one that I love to use when I have a full day.
Lazy Log Cabin Casserole:
1lb stew meat cubed
1 can of Cream of Celery
1 can of Cram of Mushroom
1 packet of Beef Onion Soup (I don't use this. I just add salt, pepper, garlic powder and dried minced onions but I'm an eye ball cook)
Toss all this in the crock pot together give it a stir put it on low and cook it for 6 - 8 hours. Home cooked meal with just a few moments prep. Put a salad bag with it and your hubby can't be upset that there isn't a home cooked meal on the table.
Do you have a quick recipe? email me hgturner@everythingscrappn.com
