Mission Accomplished: Urban Anthology... Cyber Crop

Well as I write this the Urban Anthology's first Cyber Crop is winding down, with just 20 minutes left for the members to submit their entries for prizes... the classes are complete... and we are all just chatting it up over scrap talk and lost papers, lol.

This weekend was fantastic. I got to meet a few new ladies who joined us for our cyber crop, they made me LAUGH so hard! I really needed that.

My design team created some fantastic classes, they offered a great variety of skills, techniques, and journaling. I love what the croppers created from the classes. I can't wait to wake up tomorrow morning to see posted in gallery.

We also gave away a bunch of prizes, which is so much fun to do!

I want to thank EVERYONE who helped put on the cyber crop, and thank EVERYONE who participated!!! I look forward to our next cyber crop in 2009! Keep your eyes peeled... its going to ROCK.

Check out what a fantastic time one of our newest members, Sandee had.

And here are some photos of the fantastic work our members did this weekend...

Scrapping Time!

I finally made some time this weekend to do a little scrapbooking. I haven't done that in quite some time... when I am home... I managed to finish a layout in just one evening. I had seen a layout on the crate paper website that I wanted to use as a sketch... and here is what I came up with using the new Bewitched kit from Urban Anthology. I'm not much of a Halloween fan, but the papers lend them selves to doing so many different things. I used a photo from my Italy trip I took in late April! Right now I'm doing a masculine birthday card with the papers as well. I can't wait to finish and post a photo!

Haunting!

That time of year has come for ghosts and goblins... haunted houses... and candy apples... though I have learned since I moved to California, what we refer to more often then not in the Midwest that a "candy" apple, is really one coated in caramel... where here in California, they are really covered with a red candy coating... just a little interesting tid-bit for you. As the days get shorter and temperatures cool off, Fall is up-on us and winter is nearing.

I'm excited to say, that Urban Anthology is moving on to its second kit... with a bit of fall flare and a splash of Halloween... I would like to announce Bewitched!

It is available for purchase at the Urban Anthology Store, for just $35! It is jam packed full of papers, and embellishments. You will be sure to get a box FULL of goodies you just can't resist using. If your like me and are not into the Halloween holiday to much, this kit is still for you, it has nice oranges, greens, and purples, that can make a fantastic fall layout.

Take a look at this kit! (Don't you just love that little witch, she is darn cute!)

An exciting day...

My husband and I have been waiting for a long time to be able to buy a home of our own. The stars were in alignment this year for us, and today we were able to put in an offer on a home! Now we must wait and see if they accept the offer... We hope to be calling Glendora, CA our new home!


On another note, go check out the Urban Anthology Blog, they are having a poll this week, where you can win a fantastic prize for just leaving a comment...

Its been so long!

I can't believe i have neglected my blog for so long! Life has been very busy these days... Urban Anthology has taken off and has kept me on my toes. Our second kit will be released October 1st, and I'm very excited about its release. Our last kit did well, and I was finally able to tinker with a few papers yesterday to make a card for my MIL. This weekend I will be heading out to the Scrappin' Escapes Retreat... to both relax and do a little business. I haven't been to one of Jessica's retreats yet, but from what I have been told by some friends of mine, they are retreats that are not to be missed!

Now onto my personal life, things have been busy there as well... we are finally starting to look to buy a house. I never thought making that decision would be so hard. I thought it would be like my wedding dress, when you try the right one on, you just know... but I guess my house vs hubbies house are two different things! Good thing he didn't pick my wedding dress, lol! During our summer we were able to take a small vacation to Virginia to visit our friends the Adam, Erica, and little Megan... who is their beautiful and smart daughter ... I hope our kids are that cute and smart some day! We enjoyed a nice extra long weekend with them, wishing Adam (Chris's friend from childhood) well on his deployment with the Navy...

Chris has been busy these past few weeks volunteering at the Los Angeles County Fair at the Garden Railroad. He enjoys spending his free time tinkering the with trains! I'm glad he found a place and people to share his passion for trains with! Now lets just hope he was joking about the garden railroad around our new house!

I am looking forward to the fall season that is upon us. Now if the hot temperatures would just cool down, I wouldn't complain. I hope to make it to the mountains one of these weekends for a relaxing weekend away... and perhaps a day or two at Disneyland before our season passes expire... we still haven't tried out some of there newest rides.
