Here is the first project I finished this year! We hung all the pictures in the Living Room and it looks GREAT!!! So, my goal now is to finish one project each day ~ no matter how big or small. Make each day count. <br />
Big Hugs Everyone!<br />

So, it's official, I am addicted to stamping and scrapbooking! Now it's time to go from beach on the brain to sand in my shoes! AJ said "try not to fill the camper with all stamping stuff, we still have to be able to move around in there" Layers will be key ~light for Florida, a little warmer for the Carolinas (I REALLY miss NC!) then warmer still for West Virginia. We will of course return to Wisconsin to be snowed in the remainder of the winter. Here's hoping I will have lots of great new pictures from vacation to work with. Looks like we will just have to wait and see. Don't worry, I'll keep everyone posted :o)melvhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06154397259145643740noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5164843059129457250.post-13037547500109990412011-06-02T05:04:00.000-07:002011-12-04T10:52:43.789-08:00Dedicated to Ariel Churchill<div><div align="center"><strong>WRITE...</strong></div><div align="center"> </div><div align="left">I write when I am Happy</div><div align="left">I write when I am Sad,</div><div align="left">I write to fill a Melody</div><div align="left">I write to fill a Pad,</div><div align="left">I write when it is Sunny</div><div align="left">in the Snow and in the Rain, </div><div align="left">I write for my Honey </div><div align="left">and to keep from going insane.</div><div align="left">Don't stop writing.</div><div align="left">Mel Varga</div><div align="left"> </div><div align="left"> </div><div align="left">Good luck at Harvard Ariel ~ we are all SO PROUD of YOU!!!!</div><div align="left"> </div></div>melvhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06154397259145643740noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5164843059129457250.post-19360092809810772872011-01-27T08:04:00.000-08:002011-01-27T08:10:06.747-08:00Hello Out ThereHi everyone!<br />My daughter is on the swim team this year and very close to <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">qualifying</span> for state. With that in mind the little energy I have is being devoted to her and being her <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">chauffeur</span>.

Then the ends were glued behind the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">card stock</span> on both sides. Spellbinders Labels made easy work of the matting with a nice corner punch to finish the look. This movie is very trendy so you have to have bling and the purple dazzlers worked perfect.

Chip and Bashful Blue, Choc. Chip ink accented with Smootch paint for the eyes and the tear.

The thought of ripping the paper made me not want to tie the ribbon that was threaded.</div>melvhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06154397259145643740noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5164843059129457250.post-32565797292111782212010-02-05T20:44:00.000-08:002010-02-05T20:57:23.574-08:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTjKnNWy5OoHHOdoRCPUehyphenhyphendB6yuHEmNMIEEIMq1AFhOdm6tbOH0D4hBPYBiFw4pIWmroFZ8B8Bkv9syOLjjH2rY3gyyMbSIMpqwlRiXm_V6DWrt0Xh5QGF1VqY-u-pWCLzfx0_DE4KE0/s1600-h/100_4763.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 240px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5434987946511325426" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTjKnNWy5OoHHOdoRCPUehyphenhyphendB6yuHEmNMIEEIMq1AFhOdm6tbOH0D4hBPYBiFw4pIWmroFZ8B8Bkv9syOLjjH2rY3gyyMbSIMpqwlRiXm_V6DWrt0Xh5QGF1VqY-u-pWCLzfx0_DE4KE0/s320/100_4763.JPG" /></a><br /><div>This image is a little fuzzy but my picture taking skills are sure to improve.

The winning card was GREAT some of those ladies just knock my socks off. This card used <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">SU</span> Forest Friends stamp set, Close to Coca and Kiwi Kiss Card stock and ink with Vanilla Hodge <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">podge</span> hardware and <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error">Cardstock</span>. The finishing touch was <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">reversible</span> Kiwi Kiss Ribbon. I liked the design so much this was the card I did for the Mad-City Madness swap in 2009.</div>melvhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06154397259145643740noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5164843059129457250.post-27612551600532071792010-02-05T20:36:00.000-08:002010-02-05T20:41:39.629-08:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMCCQMetxyBRn9uuxzG1WuiQeNDOhnOySLgM16235FxvCaO1oIn1OfabfUqJB_zPzz-zLfB3A8CrLWRWo0r7jINJJl4bBKN5qGRcn82tw0LWOHhzCXUDf_mrRR0yj12mLADPRZWo9WegU/s1600-h/image.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 234px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5434985569169395170" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMCCQMetxyBRn9uuxzG1WuiQeNDOhnOySLgM16235FxvCaO1oIn1OfabfUqJB_zPzz-zLfB3A8CrLWRWo0r7jINJJl4bBKN5qGRcn82tw0LWOHhzCXUDf_mrRR0yj12mLADPRZWo9WegU/s320/image.jpg" /></a> This is a notebook I designed for the Hartford Shoebox Swap 2009.
