Work Zombies

Walker Sunday and because of it, I will share with you a project I made tonight ;)
Pretty fun file folder..right?!

The girl in the office assigned this pink file folder for my husband.
If you remember…he didn't like the tie he was going to wear (for Ashley's wedding) at first because I pointed out that the tiny flowers in the design were pretty…so the pink file folder….not his style, lol.

So I gathered my materials.
Pink file folder
Zombie themed scrapbooking paper
Camo duct tape
Large Xyron adhesive machine
Lable maker

I know it is pricey to use the adhesive in the Xyron sticker maker but for this project, I wanted full adhesion.
And I wanted to complete this quickly.
I used the camo duct tape for the bottom of the folder as I thought it needed to be re-enforced…and I didn't have any zombie duct tape….hard to believe, I know, lol.
I used my label maker to print up the name on the folder (not pictured).

That this is my husband's new file folder…I have to admit, I even like it so much better than his pink one as well :)

I am off to watch some zombies….or I should say Walkers ;)

Hope you all have a creative day :)

Blogger Out of Order, due to Zombies

This blogger has given herself up to the Walking Dead tonight ;)

I have been so excited for tonight…..I can hardly contain myself.
Tonight is the new season of The Walking Dead!!!!
I have been watching the marathon (I can probably recite this show word for word, lol) the last few days and can't wait to see the new episode tonight.
Every Sunday night I watch the new episode, then I watch the Talking Dead, then I re-watch the episode I had just watched…once or sometimes even twice.

Some (like my daughters) may think I'm obsessed….others just get me ;)

I hope you all had a very creative day today :)

Blogger busy with Zombies

I have been excited about this new series as soon as I heard about it!!!!

And tonight is finally the night.
I am so looking forward to watching this.
So we prepped for the evening by watching "Dawn of the Dead" the original and the remake.
As well as making a 7 layer taco dip and drinking a couple cans of Coke, teehee.

I hope you all had a great creative weekend :)

Zombie Love 3

Here are my last two Zombie layouts from the kit I had put together.
I bet all of you queazy, hide under the covers, haters of scary movies are happy about that ;)

So lets get to the layouts shall we….

I like these close ups of Heather in all of her zombified glory.

Doesn't she look so sweet and innocent?
Well, minus the zombie makeup she does ;)

I really like this gauze pattern paper, so fun.
Also the Zombie dimensional sticker is pretty cool as well.

Second page is where the victim gets her revenge on the zombie.
Doesn't Zombie Heather look like she is enjoying munching on my arm ;)
More fun pattern papers.

These are from the sticker sheet that matches these papers.
I backed the top banner sticker with some black card stock to make it stand out from the paper more.

Isn't this a fun cut apart card.

One last look at the 2 page layout….now take a good look as this is the last of them ;)

Ok, I tricked you, its not the last of this layout…I did a short video, teehee.

Onto My Day:
After I drove Kristy to work, I checked out the one place where I heard there were still pumpkins.
Guess what, they were all gone :(
Wayne even texted me looking forward to carving some pumpkins tonight.
I had to tell him that I couldn't find any.
That was until my friend Lynne phoned me to tell me that she found me some pumpkins.
So Heather and I rushed to the Warehouse to pick one up….actually I picked up 3 :)
Turnes out my girls didn't want to carve them this year.
Heather was too busy playing video games and Kristy picked her boyfriend in favour of carving pumpkins with her parents…..what is up with them, lol.
So Wayne and I had a great time carving all 3 pumpkins ourselves :)

Hope you all had a Creative Thursday :)

Zombie Love Layouts…take 1

I bet you are thinking, "Well its about time" ;)
I am finally ready and able to share my layouts with you…and what better time to share the Zombie layouts then just before Halloween :)
I seem to always make 2 page layouts and the Zombie pages are no exception :)
I had a bit of a challenge (well for me it was a bit of a challenge) as I usually use the same papers on both pages.
But I didn't want to do that on these pages and honestly, I'm trying to break out of my obsessiveness of being symmetrical and matchy matchy…but it will be a long road for me.

Here is a closer look at the first page.
Because these photos are so Awesome, I wanted them to be the main focus on these pages.
Plus these papers are so fun, I couldn't cover them up.

I added these corrugated black letter stickers…aren't' they fun :)
I added these to my zombie kit and was happy that I used them on this layout.

The second page to this layout.
I wanted to tie the two layouts together, even though the papers were totally different.
So I added the the "Beware" sticker and the red enamel dots to tie in with the deep reds on the previous page.
I also added the light brown journal spot and cut apart girl zombie to the 1st page to tie them together.

I don't think I have used enamel dots on a page before, I really like them.
My SIL told me they reminded her of drops of blood…Perfect ;)
I know the value of 3's in scrapbooking, but the enamel dots looked like Mickey Mouse ears when I did that…that is not a look I was going for.

Here are the 2 pages side by side.
I think they tie together pretty good.
I know those one page scrapbookers don't worry about the side by side pages being cohesive as they view each page as an individual.
I love that they are so freeing to be able to look at their pages that way…actually I can look at their albums that way….I'm only anal about my albums, lol.

I also did a video for each of my layouts for my YouTube friends.

I hope you all had a very Creative Tuesday :)

A Quick Zombie Love Layout

Just a quick (yah, right) post as I need to get my beauty sleep ;)

As you know I have been at the Crop & Create event all day.
It started at 8:00am and ended at midnight.
I of course had a blast.
I thought I would share my first layout of the day.
A very simple layout…but I wanted the main focus to be this awesome photo of my daughter Heather that oldest daughter Ashley took…this photo was taken quite a few years ago

I was excited to meet a new blog friend today.
I was on her blog and left a comment about a kit she was working from as she picked it up from last years Crop & Create event.
I had picked up the same one.
But because she had mentioned that this kit was from the event, I assumed she was from Canada.
To my surprise, I find out through our messages back and forth, that she is actually from my town!!!
How cool is that :)

I had noticed her at when I went into the store area of the event.
Funny as she said she was looking for me, but didn't think she would have recognized me, as she was looking for someone taller.
I had a good chuckle out of that, I must look taller on my blog…I like that ;)
We chatted quite a few times and during one of these conversations we got to talking about how we both would like to try mixed media.
So what do I suggest…..we should make a challenge to each other :)
More details on that in another post though :)

As it turned out, I met another local blogger and we exchanged blogs.
Plus I also met someone that ran the same marathon I was in.
I also chatted with a lady, who she came to realize I was at her house for a crop years ago.

But honestly, I really do more than just visit at these events ;)
Actually I got 6 layouts done.
And if you know me, that is probably a record :)

I hope you all had a very Creative Day…I did.

Tracy :)
