a few {new] scrappy things.......

I wanted to share a few "new" scrappy things, I am anxious to use! I was hoping that during the summer,  I would have more time to create!  LOL However, it has been extremely busy! Our days have been filled with summer school, cheer practice, tutoring, football parties, camps, etc. There has been little downtime, and in about nine days, our days will become longer!  Football practice for my little boy, will begin soon. Roman will be practicing five days a week, for two hours a day!  However, I will let you know, I am so ready, to see him on the field!!! I am grateful that I am able to stay home, and be a part of my children's activities. Sometimes, I feel like I am in my car all day long!  LOL However, I would not trade it for anything! I am feeling pretty blessed that my children have found something that they enjoy! (Though, I wish Roman would not use me, to practice his tackling skills!!! LOL) He will be a force to reckon with, on the field, of course!

 
{I know I am!!!!}

Today, I had about thirty minutes in the afternoon, so I headed over to Michael's. (I needed a couple of things for a quick project.) I found a few "new" things, and I thought I would share them with you!

I always said I would never buy this, because of its size. I have a smaller version, and do love the gliding motion. So when I saw this at Michael's, I immediately put it into my basket. I was able to use my coupon, so I felt a little better in my decision. (FYI: The one at Foothill had one left when I left there today) Just saying...(now I am sounding like my friends, Deena, and Sarah) (:

{Advanced Tape Glider by 3M}: I really think the color "PINK" sold me!!! I love the color pink! Most importantly, 3M is donating to the Susan G.Komen foundation with each purchase!

 

Stamps, stamps, and more stamps! I love stamps, and love using them on my projects. I picked up the following today, to add to my stampin' inventory!    

(I could not get a great photo, so sorry about that)

1. {Music Score by Stampendous} I think this is my favorite!!!!! I do not know why I am being drawn to the stamps with music. However, when I saw this large background stamp, I did not hesitate! How fun will this look on chipboard letters, cardstock letters, etc. I cannot wait to have a chance to play! I do have this one by Prima Marketing, too.
2. {From My Heart by American Crafts}
3. {Birds of a Feather by Hampton Art}-I love owls, and thought this was too adorable to pass by!
4. {Remember this Background by Hampton Art}-Anything with the word photographs, story, etc., I am going to love
5. {Vertical Clouds by Hero Arts}
6. {Cupcakes by American Crafts} Now, who can say, "No" to a cupcake???

 I thought these were so fun! I love stick pins! They are fantastic embellishments, and these were                         just so colorful!
  

   
 

{Martha Stewart}-I love so many of her products! (I was hoping to find her new Halloween punches, but nothing yet.)  The bottom scissors are my, "go to" for cutting ribbon.
You can find them {here}. The top scissors are new ones, I have not seen!! They are fringe scissors!!! How awesome is this??? I know you can use regular scissors, but these are really fantastic. Easier too. You can read about them {here}, too.

Finally, always looking for that extra something special to add layers to my embellishments. I thought these would be great for layering flowers, or journaling spots. (They were on clearance, too.)
I did not get any scrapbooking done today, but I did find some special items! I am going to a crop on Friday, so maybe I will take a few of them with me!
It is almost midnight, so I am going to try and glue down a few things, and hope to share that "Summery" layout with you tomorrow!
Good night,

That pic of Roman totally made me smile! I can see the athlete in him! GREAT pic!! Now I wish I had read this post yesterday...I was at Michael's & had the ATG in PINK in my hand but didn't like the size. I have a Glue Glider pro mini that I love but couldn't justify the buy since I didn't have any coupons on me. :( And the fringe scissors were on my want list but I totally forgot while I was there! ACK!! I also had the cloud stamp in my hand but wanted the larger version.....think I need to make another trip!!
