Psychotic Ramblings from a Serial Scrapper AKA Craft Room Therapy with Chris

anyone else hooked on it? I love accented swirls, deisgns whatever! my bottle was a little gobbed up so i got a little sloppy and painted with a q-tip! fun fun fun! even the primas got a little sparkle!!!!!!!!!!whatcha think?????? does it even show up on here? it shows up on my hands! man i thought i would never ever use this paper. basic grey scares me sometimes! its loud! louder than me! funkier than me! but trying to work it! seems i could have done more with this! i used a little glitter on this one but added a little red glitter to the glitter paint. a little red but its ok.... if you are visting please say hi!

What have I been doing???? feverishly getting ready for vacation :D . We leave in one week. so this week we have been cleaning and planning and starting to organize what we need. and bought a new boat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A 24 foot pantoon boat! Gas mileage is gonna suck but the boat has earned the nickname "Pozzi's Party Barge" amongst my friends at work! I dont have a picture yet because Jim drove it straight to the cover maker to get a custom cover made for it. Of COurse one of our night this week was spent buying boat supplies. Plus Softball games! but this weekend is relatively free-unless of course you count sleepovers, picnics, softball practice, a 40th Birthday party for my hubby and packing and groceries! but I am going to scrap! for me! all the design team projects for June are done! no July kit yet, but a brand new box of goodies to play with! Upsy Daisy which I have been waiting for like forever, new scribble scrabble, new queen and company. I have ...

Ok these papers are a little out of my confort zone. BUt Love them. I used them to scrap that silly squiirel at mom's that is always stealing bird seed from the feeder and my new primas! Which totally rock and have a funky texture to them! I also use the crate on this layout about my happy place THE cabin on Lake Chetek! I just love love lvoe how it turned out. Pretty Cool huh??? I took one of those Heidi swapp chipboard words and distressed the heck out of it with an emery board.
