Creative again!
So, it´s time to show something creative again! :o)
Last Saturday I went to a crop with some friends to stamp together. We celebrated a birthday this way. Yes we know we are a little crazy and addicted. But we love it this way! *lol*
I didn´t get much done but I can show you two new cards. The first one is with my newest stamp. Isn´t that bunny cute? I couldn´t resist this cute butt when I saw it! *hehe*
The second card I did with one of those new Lola-stamps. I think they are adorable but unfortunatly I don´t have one of those stamps. But my friend JayJay has some so I could use hers.
When I look at the pic now I think it´s a little too much pink and purple. And I see again that my scanner isn´t perfect. The blanket is purple too...
Yesterday I finally found the time to try my new scrapplace. All I can say is: I LOVE LOVE LOVE it!!! I´m so happy! Everything´s going much better now! I just use the stuff that I love now (because that´s all that I have now!), have in reach what I need, find what I was looking for and could move like I love to do! It´s just perfect for me! And I hope it´ll stay this way! I don´t wanna go "back"!
I started with another challenge at Scraplove. The only thing I had to do was altering a picture. When I looked through my photos I came across this pics of my lovely friend Bettina and me. I immidiatly laughed when I saw them! We had so much fun sitting in the photo-cabine taking this pics. I turned one of it to black/white and that´s it! *lol*
Aren´t we beauties? *laughing* When I look at this LO now I´m smiling again! :o)
I used my Cricut and the "Sure cuts a lot"-software for the title. This programm is really great! You could cut any ttf-font on your pc with this programm on your Cricut. I don´t remember which font I used here. Sorry! But I´m sure I´ll search the net for new fonts now! ;o)

My reorganized scrap-space
I did it!!! Today I can show you what I´ve done the last view weeks! I reorganized my scrap-space! Before I´ll show it I´ll show how it looks BEFORE:
When I saw the pics I didn´t realize how much stuff it was! Horrible!
And tonight when I´m home from work I´ll "use" it for the first time! I can´t wait to sit down and start!
This was a very long post but I wanted to describe what I´ve done. And honestly I wouldn´t been finished now if my sweetheart wouldn´t have done it with me! Love ya!!! And my sister helped me too! Thanks to them and everybody that told me all the way that I shouldn´t give up! *hugs*
Have a nice day! - Coni
When I saw the pics I didn´t realize how much stuff it was! Horrible!
I bought the book "The organized and inspired scrapbooker" by Wendy Smedley and Aby Garvey. I loved it at once! And I took the class at Big Picture taught by Wendy Smedley about the same toppic. I could tell ya: I love the way I got my new space! As I´ve told before we started looking at how we work and what inspires us.
When we came back from Austria we went to see Andis partents for the weekend. During this week I should have brought all of my stuff out of my space. So this is what I started that sunday evening. And it took till yesterday evening to sort out everything and put in in the new storage solution I decided to use. Nine days of sorting, baskets of waste and bringing up new storage and furniture! And I needed to go to work for four days last week too. If somebody would have told me how much work this would be I maybe wouldn´t have done this! *lol*
Ok, but now that my new space is up I so love it! Unfortunatly I didn´t find the time to "use" it but that´s what I´ll do this evening after work is done! :o)
Ok, and here it is:
We moved our desks to the walls. Mine is next to the bigger window now so I could use natural lights when I work (when it´s dark I use my daylight-lamp). And I have some space behind me so I could move! I regognize that I move often while I create and now there´s enough space for it. That´s why I left some space on the wardrobe next to my desk. I love working while I stand so I could use this space now. It´s a little higher than my desk and so my back wouldn´t hurt that much. I would love to have a "real" table to stand on but that´s one of my dreams for the future. :o)
In the wardrobe there are the tools I use. This way I couldn´t see them if I don´t want but they are easy to reach for. In the loading under my Cricut f.e. there´s all the stuff I need for it: bigger scraps of cardstock, cutting mats and replacement blades. The other loadings are filled with papers to stamp on, inkpads, paints, Bind-it-all-stuff etc.
On the other wall next to the door is my new shelf. I always wanted to have one of them and now I got it! Dh decided it´s perfect and that we need it! *lol*
In the dark basket on the top are all my unused mini-abums. Most of them are made of chipboard. I guess I like those a lot because there are a lot! ;o) I´m going to try to get them done one after another! :o)
Those boxes are filled with my rubber-stamps. I sorted them by company. That´s what I´ve done before and I like it. If I look for a stamp I thing about the company first.
There are the same boxes again for my embellishments. While trying to figure out how I work I realized that I mostly ever did my embellis at last and look for the colours I used in my project. So I now put all of them in boxes sorted by colour. I sorted them by type before but I realized that it took very long to find something and that I often forgot what I got. So now everything with the same colour is in one box: chipboards, ribbon, sticker, eyeltes, brads... It feels much better this way and I hope it´ll work as well as I hope! :o)
My papers are sorted new too. I did it by colours and some themes (like wedding ;o) or christmas). That was a lot of work! More than 50% of my papers didn´t find their way back in my space! And it´s the same with stamps, embellis and some tools! That was hard but it feels great now too! There is only stuff I love left in my space and I thing it´s still enough to scrap for a long time without the need to go shopping! ;o)
A little decoration is needed too! :o) It´s for my inspiration! That´s why I put this stuff next to my desk so I could see it everytime I sit down. I love the little snowman my sister Carola sew for me! And isn´t that mushroom-lady funny? And I put my "inspiration-board" right in front of me. I will put all stuff on it that bring up some ideas!
I also love to work with flowers and like to look at them. So they are in reach too. :o)
Another thing I did were this baskets. One basket contains my stickers and rub-ons that couldn´t go in any of my "colour-boxes". Sometimes I´m inspired just by looking at them! The other basket is for my journaling. I figured out that I often start my LOs with my story. So journling is very important to me. I got the idea for this basket in my class at BPS. It contains all of the stuff I could use for my journaling: chipboards, stamps, rub-ons, cardstock-boxes etc. I often forgot what stuff I have for this so I like to try it with all in one place.
The class isn´t over yet. But I couldn´t wait till it finished in the end of March. There was way to much chaos at home! We don´t have that much space and it makes me go crazy! I´ll see if I´m going to change some things this month thoughout the class. But as far as I´m done I LOVE my new space!!! :o)))

Austria
I promised some pics and I´m sorry it took so long to upload them!
We had a great time visiting Andis sister and her family in Austria! The landscape is really amazing and the weather was wonderful. We enjoyed sunshine every day!
We had a great time visiting Andis sister and her family in Austria! The landscape is really amazing and the weather was wonderful. We enjoyed sunshine every day!
When we flu over the Alpen the sight was so great! I love seeing the mountains. Where I live mountains are far away.
We spend a lot of time with the familie and chatted a lot. Andi really loves his sister and so they had to keep up with anything they didn´t talk about on the phone! ;o)
One afternoon we hiked a little. We went to the Hemmaberg (a nearby mountain) and had this faboulous sight over the landscape:
I was gald we could go most of the way by car because the rest of the way we went by feet was hard for us! I guess we need to do more sports - or even ANY sports!!! *lol*
We came to a church and this tree stands right next to it. It´s more than 1.000 years old! I love to see these old trees. Imagine all the stuff this tree has seen and hopefully will see!
When we went there the lights were fantastic and I took sooo many pics! I don´t only take pics from the landscape but some of dh, his sis and our niece too. I asked my sil if she could take one of Andi and me too. So here´s the proof we´ve been there together! ;o)
The evening before we went with bil to try archery (sp?). I´ve tried it once before but it was the first time for Andi. We had so much fun! Ok, we weren´t well but who asked? ;o) We had fun and I think it looks like we are knowing what we do, don´t we? *lol*
I took a LOT of pics while we were in Austria! My favorite "subject" was our adorable niece Lina. She´s such a cutie! It was just fun to play and be with her! This pic is one of my favorites:
I love being an aunt and hope to be a mom myself someday!
I couldn´t stand it and brought something to scrap with me. One morning I found some quiete time to do this mini-album with pics from about our trip to Fort Lauderdale last May. It´s nothing special because I just had some stickers but I like how it turned out
Am I the only one scrapping on vacation? Am I crazy, nuts or stupid??? Please tell me!
Have a great day everybody!

Happy Valentines!
I promised you to show you what I did for Andi for Valentines. I made this mini-album to show him how much I love him:
I´m so happy he really loves this album! I wanted to do something special and he thinks it´s very special! *yeah*
I also promised to show you what he got for me. He bought this lovely little bracelat for me and I really LOVE it. I´sn´t it beautiful?
We are going to eat out tonight at the same restaurant we celebrated our wedding exactly two month ago. *yummy* Do you also celebrate Valentines? If so: tell me more about yours! As a newly-wed I like to hear all about it! :oD
Have a happy Valentines day! - Love, Coni

Valentine
Woohoo! My mojo is back! I just hope it´ll stay for a while! ;o) Yesterday at work I suddenly had an idea for a valentines-present for dh. I could leave work earlier and when I got home I immidiatly started. Everything felt together without any problem. Yeah! I can´t show my gift for him here now because he might peek but I´ll show you tomorrow!
The reason I wanted to do something special for him is that he showed me this last weekend and told me this is my valentines-gift.
Isn´t that mean? He showed it but I didn´t get it!!! Men! *ha* But so far it looks good. So I decided to do something special for him too. I´ll show you his present for me tomorrow too. :o)
When I finished my project yesterday I thought I should go on. I needed to do a valentines-card for a swap and I wanted it to be there on Valentines day. Without my mojo I thought I couldn´t do it. I didn´t like to send a card that is just done... Kwim? But my mojo is back and so I did this card:
I used one of the new hÄnglars. I think this little girl is so cute! My stamps aren´t here but I got this image and couldn´t resist to use it. And I used the new Cosmo Cricket-papers from the Stempelzoo too.
Have a great day! - Coni
