At the Everyday Scrapper, we post ideas, layouts or sketches everyday-yea, real stuff you can do EVERYDAY at home.  That's me.  I try to make the most of my supplies, by using what I have and jazzing it up.

Today I am going to show you a layout using bottlecaps-yep I am going green!!!
Here is my layout
I started with bottle caps and I smush them between two boards- but the bottlecaps face up on a board, put another board on top and pound with a hammer. You may want your hubby to help!! Don't pound too hard, there is a learning curve here.

Some don't always look the best!! It takes some practice, but there are endless ways to decorate them!!


Then I decorated the top and covered the bottom with lace to make a flower

Here are my decorated bottlecaps. I decided to use them for the first letters of my title

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you like this idea. You will find much more inspiration at TES. We hope you join us! Keep on going, as many of our other bloggers are offering RAK's as well!

What a month!!

There is always something going on!!!  My dad had surgery this month and thank goodness at 84 he is going well.  I aggrivated my back and was down and out for a week, but that didn't keep me from being creative!!  I am so happy to say that I am on the website team for The Everyday Scrapper.  I have been a forum contributor for a while and now I am posting "Teaching Thursday".  Here is what I have been up to (besides being in alot of back pain..LOL)

I have been scrapping orange!!!!

Boy have I been scrapping orange!! I got some of the Bo Bunny Mango Luau paper.  I am not much of an orange scrapper, but I got inspired here!!!

March 13,2010

It has been a long 10 days. My father in law is home from the hospital, but is still weak, but doing better. My dad has to have surgery and my 2 sister in laws and my niece came to visit!! It has been a very busy but fun time. My hubby is coming home from San Diego (where he has been working for 4 1/2 months) next Friday- ya hoo!!! I have been able to somewhat scrappy

This last layout is for the Pages in Time mini online crop- March 12-13.  The challenge was to creat a layout with a bad pix of yourself, use paint and the title of a TV show. I think these pix qualify!!!

What a day....

I work from home sometimes and I had to take my dad to the hospital for a test this morning.  I was in my pj's and getting ready for a conference call, and right at that moment, by mother in law calls me and says my 89 year old father in law is on the floor and needs help getting up.  Rush rush to get clothes on and run out the door.  Email my coworker to say I won't be on the conference call.  As it turns out, he had the stomach flu and was dehydrated.  I called 911 and the family dr. said take him to the hospital.  So here I am thinking that I need to go pick up my father to go to the hospital (thank goodness it is the same one my FIL was in)  So I called my dd and she hadn't gotten to school yet so she came over.  Then I left and took my dad to the dr, checked on my Father in law and spent the day at the hospital.  He is fine, but it has been a long day.  Keep him in your prayers!!
