Well, for  my first 'assignment' I was given some papers from Imaginisce - a cute dinosaur range -  Dino Roar, and some Bazzill cardstock (LOVE this stuff!)

Every little boy (and some not so little) wants to be an adventurer and discover dinosaurs, fossills and the such - so they need a book to write down their findings, and draw maps, and dinosaur skeletons....you know what I mean!
So I whipped up such a book - and lookie lookie, there are even dinosaur footprints stomping along on each page and the cover!

Products I used:
Bind-It-All - covers & coils
Dino Roar - rumble & roar
Snag'em stamp - dino print
Versa Mark Ink - pinecone
Prism cardstock - Intense Kiwi
Over the next couple of days, I will upload the other items I made using Dino Roar, and if you pop over to Better Scrapbooking you will see this range of product and other products.

There are some lovely ladies in blog land!
I have had the pleasure of 'meeting' one such lady - Mandy! (and when I say meeting, you know I don't mean face to face, but via blog & email)
In the post, I received a envelope from England - Mandy had made a little notebook, bookmark and a delightful butterfly card - and sent them to me. Well, the notebook and bookmark are for P!
Isn't Mandy creative......

...and aren't I lucky to receive such a thoughtful surprise!
Check out Mandy's blog, and also the challenge blog where I actually 'met' her!

Next post, I am going to share some exciting news....I made it onto a design team! (oops, I just shared the news, lol!) But, I have already done my first 'job' for the team - and I am allowed to show it to you all.....but I will do that tomorrow....

I often check out another blog - Craft & Create - Challenge #9 was New Beginnings.
Well, off I went to make a calendar for 2011, and the challenge closed before I could finish it! BUT, the new challenge is Just a Note. That I can do, see....

This is (yet another) post it note pad that I have whipped up -
Feeling really clever, I used:
a post-it NOTE pad
musical NOTE paper and,
my JUST A NOTE stamp.

I got this challenge sussed, lol





Check out the blog, post a comment, do your own 'note' challenge, and let us all see it!
I'm off to finish a calendar......

I have seen secret squirrel notebooks for computer passwords on a few blogs I have recently visited.
Part of me thinks not a great idea, but then, I look at all the random pieces of paper (not so) nicely placed around our computer, and I can see the logic of having a password notebook.

I 'whipped' one up in the weekend, using up some scraps of paper and cardstock, and my trusty Bind-It-All. I even used some really, really old alpha stickers!

(I am not, as you may have noted, 100% computer savvy - it took me ages, and I mean ages to make the little pages in a word document. Then, to copy it another 3x times onto the same piece of paper, and to make it look even - well, that took all the skills I had, and then some.)


Until next time,

Over at the 2 peas site, they have a thread going - share a organising tip.
Well, there was a tip (several actually) that I really liked - it was simple, practical, achievable (most important of all) and cheap!

Instead of buying different wrapping papers for birthday's, babies, anniversary's, engagements and Christmas etc, a 'pea' suggested plain kraft wrap and a coloured ribbon. It became a 'signature' wrap for that person.Well, that took my fancy, so much so, that when I popped out yesterday to Westcity to buy a couple birthday presents, I brought 2x (large) rolls of ribbon and a roll of kraft paper.
The results:

I needed a tag for the gifts - P helped me with the names, using some old alpha stickers I have - recognise the CM at the back??? - and I pulled out my cupcake punch from Martha Stewart to make a boarder. I must admit, I like this idea!

This is actually only 1 of the many ideas I have picked up from the thread - I am gonna try to implement some more other the tips from there! :)
