Hi Everyone,
So, after receiving emails urging me to continue with the tag swap. I couldn't bare to disappoint you all. So, it is officially BACK ON!! Unfortunately, that means that there is not a lot of time to make them if you join the January Swap. Because they need to be in the MAIL before January 20. I will take sign ups now! Same rules apply but you do not need to include an extra tag for me. You will just make 5 tags for your group and you will receive 5 tags back, because I will have 6 in each group. So make 6 tags if you want to have one of your own tags.(But don't mail me your tag for yourself.) I will also post a list of the themes as soon as can. Theme for January is.......FAIRY TALES.
Whatever you interpret fairy tales to be....your life may be a fairy tale, you may have a prince or princess in your life, your job may be a fairytale, or you have a fairytale romance with your spouse!!! A favorite movie or book that is a fairy tale, you may live in a Castle....you may love FAIRIES!!!! Those are just some ideas. I will try to put up a tag video but on such short notice I can't do it until next week....So sorry!!
Ok so here is the group list....

NEW 2011 SWAPS!!!
Hi Everyone,
I am starting a NEW SWAP for 2011. I will no longer hold the tag swap every month. I will be doing something different EVERY MONTH!

At the bottom is a list of the swaps for Jan,Feb, and March 2011
*******************************************************
Here are some basic rules:
They must be mailed before the 20th of each month as usual.
Return postage stamps must be included.
Large enough envelope with your return address written on it.
Anyone who is late will be banned from swapping for the next month,
unless you have a valid excuse. It is not fair to everyone else who is on time.
Email me at PinkScrapper99@yahoo.com to join. Please do not email me on You Tube.

NOVEMBER TAG SWAP-FINAL SWAP FOR 2010
Hi Everyone,
It's that time again....I'm taking sign ups for the last Tag Swap of the Year!!! We will be taking December off from swapping, and restarting in January with new rules!
The theme for NOVEMBER'S TAG SWAP is...DAZZLING CHRISTMAS! The challenge is to use stickles, glitter, or diamond dust on your tags! That's an easy one, so have fun with it.
I will continue to do the One on One swap but by request only. Let me know if you have questions or need some creative help! I am here for you! Take care, Carlene :>
PLEASE EMAIL ME TO JOIN AT PINKSCRAPPER99@YAHOO.COM, DO NOT LEAVE A COMMENT HERE. List of names will be at the very bottom of this post. Thank you!!!!
Please remember to do the back of your tags and to send return postage stamps too.
Swap Tags must be mailed not later than NOVEMBER 15, 2010. I will send the tags back to you on NOVEMBER 20 or sooner. Rules are below. This is a long post, so read all the way thru to the swapper's signed up below....
RULES ARE SIMPLE- US AND INTERNATIONAL PARTICIPANTS OK
1. Once you sign up, you are committed. Please make every attempt to finish on time and mail tags on time. If you do not follow through, you won't be able to participate again.

2. For the One on One swap, you mail 2 decorated tags. You can make an extra for yourself but do not send it to me. I will add embellishments and mail 1 back to you. You must include return envelope and return postage stamps.
3. You mail 5 tags to me and I will coordinate tags and ship the exchanged 4 tags back to you. Please include a second envelope and enough return postage stamps in your envelopes so I can mail it BACK to you. Also, write your addy on the return envelope please.
4. Mail to me by NOVEMBER or earlier (I will mail out on the 20th of each month or sooner).

OCTOBER TAG SWAP
Hi Everyone,
I'm excited to announce the OCTOBER TAG SWAP SIGN-UPS!!! We have had so much talented scrappers join the swap and each month I am always excited to see everyone's creations! This next month's theme is...."BeLeaf in Me". Since the holidays are creeping upon us, for October, you can either do a Halloween theme or Thanksgiving theme. The optional challenge is using LEAVES on your tag. You can use fake leaves, real leaves, leaf impressions, whatever! It is a great time to use your favorite fall colors. :>
I will tell you that for November Tags, we will do a Christmas. AND....we will take the month of December OFF for Tag Swapping. :> We will start up again on January 15. I think everyone gets busy around the holidays so I don't want to host one when we are all busy. :> I do plan on tweaking the SWAP rules a bit for next year though. :>

Going MIA-Missing in Action
Hi Everyone,
My daughter's wedding is on Sunday. So, just FYI that I will be MIA until Monday. I will post a few pics here of the wedding. I'm excited but it has been a bit crazy here with the wedding and trying to keep up with my store, so pardon me if I am a bit slow responding. My brain is going in too many directions. Hopefully, it will be back to normal next week. :> Thanks for your understanding. Have a superb weekend!!

JOIN THE TAG CRAZE
Hi Everyone,
I'm on a tag craze these days. It may be because of my Monthly Tag Swap, but I have made a few tags this last week. I have a few pictures below, and I have two videos on You Tube. If you haven't checked out my YT Channel, just go to YouTube.com/PinkScrapper99. Don't forget to add the 99 at the end. :> Because that is the age I will stop scrapbooking. Just kidding. I would be so lucky to live that long. Also, if you like any of my videos, you can also post them on your own blog for your followers. Just use the embed feature on YT.
I also wanted to share a few tips for beginner scrapbookers because this is what I did when I got stuck. You can use this list for cards, scrapbook layouts, tags, etc. When I was new I would go through a list of things in my mind to add to a card when I got stuck and didn't know what else to do. If you go through the list, it may help you and spark your mojo. So, here goes.
Add things like:
Buttons
Punches
Ribbon/Lace/Fibers/Trims
Rubber Stamps
Distress Ink
Flowers/Leaves
Flower Pins
Sewing Stiches
Acrylic Paint
Glimmer Mist
Diamond Dust
Perfect Pearls/Pearl Ex
Bling
Glitter/Stickles
Glossy Accents
sayings/titles
stickers
charms or jewelry
embossing/dry embossing
metal pieces
tags
Vintage Photo
Feathers
Chipboard Embellishment
Die Cut/Cricut Die
Hope that helps you. Print it out and keep it at your craft area and add to the list! Here are my tag pics as promised. Thank you!!

FREE LINE ART FOR COLORING!
Hi Everyone,
I HAVE to share this great site I just found for line art images. It's so amazing what you can find if you Google. I bet you will never have to buy another stamp if you use this site. But, we will anyways right? Well, when I got Copic Certified, I was on a hunt to practice coloring. I found that I wanted MORE images to color because the stamps I owned were not necessarily all coloring type of stamps. What I do is right click on the image and "save as" to save it to my puter. So, here is the site. ENJOY!

Sites for Vintage Photos
Hi Everyone,
Hope you are starting your week off to a good start. Someone asked me where I get my vintage photos from, so I decided to post it. Whenever I find an image that I like, I will save it in a folder on my computer. I don't use a lot of sites to collect images, but I think these two are awesome. If you would like to add one, just add it in the comments section. I've been busy doing a mini series on Tim Holtz' Lost and Found paper collection. I really love his paper. I decided to do more kits in my store too, because I love being able to have people try out different products, different embellishments, etc. So, if there is a kit you would like to see, please let me know. So, here are the two links I promised. Enjoy!

Have your cake and eat it too!
Here's the final picture of the cake I made for Kayleigh. I am also going to attempt to make a wedding cake this year...hahaha. The recipe is delicious. It's an Almond Vanilla Cake with Sour Cream. The cake itself was not hard to bake. But, the decorating was a challenge. The kids loved it, and I got a thumbs up from my daughter on using the same recipe for her wedding cake!! Yay. I think next time, I am trying fondant...and maybe my Cricut Cake Machine too....Enjoy!

I did it!
I'm so happy I took the Copic Certification Class! I learned so much from Jennie Black. It was so
worth it for me because now I am able to teach Copic classes locally! We learned about the
color wheel, coloring techniques, skin color choices, airbrushing, and mainly had so much fun!
I guess that's what happens when you get women together to craft, right?? Please stay tuned
because you will see more as I build up my inventory of Copics! Have a great week!

Rain, rain go away
Seems like Spring Showers are here, or should I say thunderstorms? I guess that gives me more time to craft. I've been working on my goals for this year, and so far, I have two of them completed. The next one is to get published. I don't really need to do it for fame, or fortune, or even recognition. But, it seems to be a big deal to say you have been "published". I am happy just to be doing my own thing. So, amongst my other scrapbooking aspirations, I will be submitting my art to various magazines. If anybody has any tips for me, just leave me a comment or email me. Thank you, and have a glorious day! :>

ANNOUNCING NEW MONTHLY SWAPS!
Hi Everyone-
***SWAPS ARE NOW CLOSED FOR JUNE, YOU CAN NOW SIGN UP FOR JULY**
I'm so excited to announce a few new swaps on my blog. These will be monthly ongoing swaps for beginners and advanced crafters. When I first started papercrafting 16 years ago, I participated in every swap I could so I could learn from different people. So, this swap will include a swap group for beginners. I have heard many people say they won't swap because they are scared to swap with advanced crafters, so this will help them ease into it. They are both tag swaps because mini albums are too big, and tags(the larger 4-5 inch ones) are perfect because they are small and quick. So here are the 3 swaps. Sign ups start today for June Swaps. Rules are posted at the bottom of this post. (NAMES WILL BE ADDED AS PEOPLE SIGN UP.

Mother's Day
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!
I wanted to have something really special to say for Mother's Day, and I found a site with some meaningful quotes. I hope you enjoy them, these are a few of my favorites!
**A mother is a person who seeing there are only four pieces of pie for five people, promptly announces she never did care for pie. ~Tenneva Jordan
(Ok, how many times have you done that? :>)
**A mother understands what a child does not say. ~Author Unknown
(This is so true isn't it??)
**Being a full-time mother is one of the highest salaried jobs... since the payment is pure love. ~Mildred B. Vermont

Mother's Day Gift
This is a super gift for Mother's Day! I helped my Grand-daughter, Kayleigh, make this for my Daughter. She is going to love it because she made one just like this for me over 15 years ago! Please try it and tell me how you liked it. Here is the poem for the gift! I have also posted my You Tube video! ENJOY!
You always clean the fingerprints
I leave upon the wall
I seem to make a mess of things
Because I am so small
The years will pass so quickly
I’ll soon be grown like you
And all my little fingerprints
Will surely fade from view.
So here’s a special handprint
And a picture of me too
So you’ll recall the day
I made this just for you!

Hi Everyone!
It has been a fun filled week demonstrating for Provo Craft. I met so many people and even learned some new tricks from one customer who had 90 cartridges!!
I am glad it's over because my legs and feet hurt from standing. I will also be demonstrating the CRICUT CAKE!! I just found out today!!
I am also planning a giveaway which I will announce as soon as I feel better to post the video! Here's a picture of a fabric flower I made a while ago. I used pink satin fabric and cut circles in 2 sizes. Burned the edges with a BBQ lighter, then hot glued them together. I used pearl ex on a floral leaf. Then just add a feather, tulle, and pearls and VOILA! You are done.

I am also planning a giveaway which I will announce as soon as I feel better to post the video! Here's a picture of a fabric flower I made a while ago. I used pink satin fabric and cut circles in 2 sizes. Burned the edges with a BBQ lighter, then hot glued them together. I used pearl ex on a floral leaf. Then just add a feather, tulle, and pearls and VOILA! You are done.

Tag Swap with Deb
Hi Everyone,
I had my very first tag swap. I have done alot of card swaps in the past, but not a tag swap ever! So when Deb asked me to swap, I said SURE! I love making tags and it is an easy way to swap just with one person. I got my package from Deb today and I was so excited to see what she made. She is a very talented lady and I like her style of scrapping. After a long day teaching a mini album class, this was a very welcome package!! It always makes me teary eyed to see that someone took the time to make ME something by hand. I know it takes alot of time and thought when you make something, so it truly means alot when another crafter makes something for me. :> And if I am on the giving side, I hope that whatever I make is liked by whoever I give it to. A lot of times if someone admires my project- I will just give it to them because I know they appreciate it. Thank you Deb!!!!

HAPPY EASTER!!
Hi Everyone--
Just wanted to say Happy Easter to you. I made a video of my Grand-daughter's Easter basket. Baskets are so much fun to make because you can put things in there to personalize it. You will see all the things Kayleigh likes in her basket. She's 3.
I hope you have a super fun day tomorrow. Take care!
