Making Flowers and Rasberry Mocha Espresso Goodness...




Yesterday, I went to Deedee's in the morning for a little crafting and to share an Americano.  My brain was not working, so the lovely flower you see featured in this post is Deedee's flower.  Mine was well... let's just call it a flop.

After making our flowers, we headed to the local craft store because all die cuts were 40% off.  I picked up two die cuts that I've decided I'm taking back... even though they're on sale - I don't need them.  I did pick up a few goodies that I'm keeping though.  I picked up Emma from school, let the girls nap, and back to Deedee's we headed.  Jen was already there, with all kinds of ideas, and some really cool metalic sticky paper. Deedee made a new type of flower, which I have yet to photograph, and I tried videoing her with my iphone as she gave a wonderful tutorial on her new type of flower.  I will not post this however, because we decided that 1: It was a bad hair day.  & most importantly 2.  I held my finger over the microphone half the time, so you could only hear half of the tutorial.

Deedee saved the day yet again, and whipped up some Rasberry Mocha Espresso goodness.  By the time we were sipping on these delights, it was time to hit the road and start dinner at home.  I just wanted to post these pics, because they're just too good not to share.  (Note:  You can see my flower flop in the espresso photo.  heeheee.)  I just had to use the Cottagearts filters on these photos, because.. well I just think they make everything pretty.  They almost make my flower flop pretty, well almost.

Today scrappage began....


What a great day.  Deedee Garcia and Angela Meijer (hereafter "we") were having a garage sale over at Deedee's house.  We decided to make collages and art journals at the garage sale, and got to creative brainstorming.  We were selling a bunch of scrapbook embellishments and collage cards, and we decided that we seriously need an etsy shop to sell all of our scrapbook and collage goods.  We've been getting together to do creative stuff together, and so we decided that we should start selling it all too.  The name of our shop is a combination of scrap, page and collage.... and it's pronounced the French way.  That way, you can hear the collage part of the name!  Spread the word and come back and visit lots and lots.  We plan to keep it full of all kinds of goodies and we'll photograph our creative sessions too.  We're going to fill our shop with supplies for your own creations, fun collage/scrappage artwork, and lots and lots of bling.

After our garage sale, we went to the scrapbook store in here in Ankeny, and spent our garage sale earnings on new arts and craft supplies.  Fun Fun Fun.
