Check me out!

Okay, it's official. I have a NEW blog. . .a new blog that looks almost identical to THIS blog.
Because that's just the way I roll.
When I started this blog, there were like three of you reading it. And you understood why it was called Lolo Schpadora. But no one else does. and no one else can spell it. (sometimes even I can't spell it.)

SO, without further ado . . . .
the new, but practically identical blog. . .
www.lauralooloo.blogspot.com

If you have a link to me, feel free to update it, and feel free to subscribe to the NEW bloggity blog!!

(But not to worry, I will keep this blog up, so that we can come back and find old recipes and links and such!!)

So. . .ummm. . .peace out! Guess this is my last post here!
XOXOXO

you probably didn't notice. . . .

but my sitemeter disappeared. and other stuff might too.

why?

because i am making a change.

i'm moving.

no, not to typepad. i'm sticking with blogger, but i am getting a new addy. something pronounceable. something easier to spell. something NEW! (and i can't believe no one had the addy yet!!!) Wooohooo!

Watch for a link to my new home sweet home soon, once I get things up and running. Moving is a lot of work!! (And a little sad. . . but not to worry, I won't close up shop here, everything here will stay, so that I can still come back and find stuff!)

Stay tuned!

a little more Unity June kit goodness

Come on, have you checked out Unity yet? Angela is a wild woman, and she is giving away amaazing deals all the time. If you've felt tempted by any of the Unity stamps, keep tabs on her blog, and at SplitCoast, because she posts new deals QUITE frequently. AND she even has a neat storage rack available to store the stamps now!!! This page is using some stamps from the June Kit of the Month, as well as a few other Unity stamps. New releases come out in a few weeks, so check back for sneak peeks! (I hope to have some soon!) This photo of Bryce and I is just so goofy - I thought it would be a fun layout!! :) Have a great day!

Wise Guy (CPS #68)

This week at CPS we are sharing Father's Day cards with Tami's sketch. I had to bust out the owl stamp once again! I couldn't resist! I cut out an extra set of wings, and curled them up a little bit, but it's a bit difficult to see in the photo. I really like this card though .. . .fairly sweet and simple!! And another fun sketch this week! Be sure to go check out the other cards throughout the week, and lots of inspiration at CPS!

(card goodies: CTMH patterned paper, cardstock, Cornish Heritage Farms stamps, and American Crafts ribbon)

the rejects

I was SO excited to be invited to submit some cards for a new BOOK coming out in December. I will have seven of my eleven submitted cards picked up. Here are a few that DIDN'T make the cut. But that's okay, perhaps I will just submit them for something else!!!

(card goodies: Happy Birthday Wishes - Sassafrass Lass paper, October Afternoon notebook paper stamp, and Unity birdie. Sweetwater rub-ons. Wise Guy - Cornish Heritage Farms stamps, and Dream Street papers)

didja know i love green and orange?

Green and orange are such fun summery colors to use. . . I have two things I have used this color scheme for. . . the owl card is for the Kim Hughes Blitz going on at Cornish Heritage Farms . . .the challenge includes this color scheme, buttons, ribbon (which I fudged on just a bit!) and stamps! The second card, is my INCREDIBLY belated wedding card for Sabrina and Paul. (umm, SURPRISE, sabrina!!) Plus it another of the Unity Kit of the Month stamps. (Along with the cake from the Simple Pleasures set!) So . . .what are you up to? Working on anything fun lately? Let me know so I can go check you out!!! ;) XOXO

(card goodies: cardstock from CTMH, and Bazzill, CTMH ink, owl card stamps - Cornish Heritage Farms UR A Hoot set, and Christmas set, Celebrate stamps - Unity Stamp Co)

seriously, a bookmark?

Okay, the last time I actually MADE a BOOKMARK, I was probably like 12 years old. But when I was 12 years old, I think I made quite a few of them! Somehow though, this lovely skinny stamp, was just screaming. . ."Make me into a lovely little bookmark!!!" So i did, and my sweet Mary Page is going to be getting it in the mail!! (Whether she wants a goofy bookmark or not . . .heck, with three children running around, I don't know if she even has time to pick up a book!!) But how pretty is this flower stamp, from ICS? I love it!! The sentiment says "The best thing about the future, is that it only comes one day at a time." Thank goodness, right MP? I love ya girly!!! XOXO

subscribe! subscribe!

Okay, I added a little site feed thingie to my sidebar. . . i don't really know if i did it right. so go subscribe if you haven't done so on your own, and we'll just see how it works!!! (and if its all screwed up because i didn't know what i was doing, then let me know!)

CPS #67

This week's sponsor at Card Positioning Systems is Innovative Stamp Creations
They have some really interesting stamps, that are a bit different from what I usually use. . .and the sketch and stamps stretched me a bit - which is always a good thing!!! Go check out ICS - you might find something you HAVE to have!!! I really loved this circle background stamp from the first second I saw it! I knew I HAD to have it!!! It's fun isn't it!? ICS was incredibly generous in what they provided for us CPS designers, so I still have a lot more stamps that haven't even met ink yet! Watch for more projects with their goodies! (In fact, I have one more that I might get posted later today, before I pop it in the mail to a friend! Oooh!!) And be sure to check out the sketch at CPS and give it a whirl!!!! Stretch yourself, and have FUN! :) XOXO
