The pictures are from last October when I went flying in my boss's Waco plane. It's made out of wood and string, has an 80 year old engine that was literally pickled since WWII. It was a really, really cool experience! Flying in small planes is the awesomest. </div>

It was a really cool evening! I've been a fan of Friedman's for several years, and almost didn't make it to the book signing because of work. I'm glad I went, because Friedman went to coffee with me and two other fans after the signing and was really, really cool!Emmahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06310039122656051824noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6966148044818024445.post-79963159881217231792012-06-27T18:47:00.000-07:002012-06-27T18:47:18.081-07:00Creative Scrappers Sketch #214This is for <a href="http://creativescrappers.blogspot.com/2012/06/sketch-214.html" target="_blank">Creative Scrappers Sketch #214</a> and features pictures from Halloween 2011. <br />

A couple of friends got together, but it was pretty low-key since Halloween fell on a Monday night. I went with the steampunk theme on this layout since the joke on Halloween was that since several of the costumes made no sense, they must be steampunk.<br />
<br />
I used a couple watch parts and gears for this layout, which is pretty ambitious for me! I'm not sure if it's too busy, or not busy enough with all of the ephemera.Emmahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06310039122656051824noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6966148044818024445.post-75574930110831391952012-06-18T18:31:00.000-07:002012-06-18T18:31:16.301-07:00Creative Scrappers Sketch #212I've been away from scrapbooking and blogging for a while now, but after nine months, a breakup, and a move I am getting back to it! <br />

I am really happy with the way the pennants turned out. I used grungy red paper, covered it with the deco tape mentioned above, and distressed the edges. So much distressing!

I used paper and stickers from Echo Park's <a href="http://www.echoparkpaper.com/collections/be-mine/" target="new">Be Mine</a> collection, flowers, and sparklies. I also hand-wrote the journaling, which is tough for me! I have the worst handwriting ever, so writing on my projects is very risky. Looking at it now, I should have made the photo black and white. Oh well, next time!<br />

The photo is from my fiance and I's first date. Well, I call it our first date because before that I had just wanted to be friends! We had known each other for a few years but that day when he took me flying I finally decided I wanted to date him.

Every track is a cover, which they do an amazing job of forming to their unique style. Even my music-snob coworkers thought the covers were excellent! <br />
<br />
The originals are the following random array of older songs:<br />
20th Century Boy (T.Rex)<br />
Electric Avenue (Eddy Grant)<br />
Whip It (Devo)<br />
Jump (Van Halen)<br />
Space Oddity (David Bowie)<br />
One Thing Leads To Another (The Fixx)<br />
Candy-O (The Cars)<br />
Devil Inside (INXS)<br />
Pop Muzik (M)<br />
Should I Stay Or Should I Go (The Clash)<br />
We're Not Gonna Take It (Twisted Sister)<br />
Under The Milky Way (The Church)<br />
<br />
I think my favorites are Should I Stay or Should I Go and Devil Inside. The only one I'm not really excited about is Space Oddity. That one is just strange and to me it sounds like the one Powerman 5000 altered least. <br />

It's not something that is fun to think about, but you never know when you will be in an accident or something. I take comfort in knowing that my accidental death could potentially save three peoples' lives with my organs!Emmahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06310039122656051824noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6966148044818024445.post-44045156296931175062011-08-28T21:20:00.000-07:002011-08-28T21:23:59.211-07:00The Scrappiest Sketch 134 - August Scrapbook layoutThis is my attempt at <a href="http://thescrappiest.blogspot.com/" target="new">The Scrappiest</a> <a href="http://thescrappiest.blogspot.com/2011/08/sketch-134.html" target="new">sketch 134</a>. Holy balls, this took me forever. It turned out to be a much more ambitious layout than I usually do, with the stitching and ribbon flowers and distressing. That stuff is labor intensive! <br />
<br />

The photos are from my recent trip to see my brother, mom and nieces when we went hiking. My nieces are ridiculously cute! In addition to supplies purchased at the normal craft store, I used <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/NorthMtnWorkshop" target="new">wood buttons</a> and <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/littlehappythings1" target="new">text tape</a> from Etsy. Yay for handmade scrapbooking supplies!<br />
<br />

The flowers were challenging, I've never attempted ribbon flowers before. I have seen better! I am really happy with how the collage hearts turned out though, particularly with the stitching. Even if it took forever. <br />
<br />
It's weird, I haven't felt like scrapbooking or crafts generally much lately. I think it's mostly a bit of depression, my fiance's deployment is making me a little lonelyer than normal. I guess my art is not inspired by sadness!<br />
<br />
As always, comments and suggestions on my amateur scrapbooking are hugely appreciated!!Emmahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06310039122656051824noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6966148044818024445.post-75399832475848085912011-08-21T11:50:00.000-07:002011-08-21T11:56:01.853-07:00Cards for Olivia<a href="http://stacy-scrappinqueen.blogspot.com" target="new">Rodriguez Designs</a> is putting a call out to card makers.

Candy is also an idea I am thinking about since it's delicious, expendable and gender neutral! <br /><br />Anyone have any cool ideas for wedding favors? Does anyone sell them personally?

For now, I have <a href="http://pinterest.com/hell0z0mbie/blythe-is-beautiful/" target="new">a Blythe pin board</a> with lots of fun Blythe photos on it. Check that out if your on Pinterest. Does anyone have Blythe or other cute pin boards I can check out? I'm not following nearly enough boards yet!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9q0cekBPWfd_b5J98HSWPrvZFlX_aC4jEk9gOJSzgT0QO2vEyRMl9oef7Emng0gOgKwGo_tyJ8BSfUKclrwLMg7p_bA-6csb2-5KiP4g0lqwS0V8AuISrc16Qazcb4d7iImLJOdiKCniP/s1600/blythe+doll+nicky+lad+flower+pink+gray+shirt.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 238px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9q0cekBPWfd_b5J98HSWPrvZFlX_aC4jEk9gOJSzgT0QO2vEyRMl9oef7Emng0gOgKwGo_tyJ8BSfUKclrwLMg7p_bA-6csb2-5KiP4g0lqwS0V8AuISrc16Qazcb4d7iImLJOdiKCniP/s400/blythe+doll+nicky+lad+flower+pink+gray+shirt.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5623648336709766034" /></a><br />Shirt by <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/BlytheKingdom" target="new">Blythe Kingdom</a>Emmahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06310039122656051824noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6966148044818024445.post-58088603320340777332011-06-26T09:32:00.000-07:002011-06-26T12:27:55.916-07:00Etsy has some issuesYesterday I got an Etsy conversation from a seller who I had recently purchased some Angry Birds inspired hats from. She gave me permission to share it with my blog, which I asked for because I think it really highlights two of the major problems Etsy has. <br /><br /><blockquote>JezeBearDesigns will no longer be advertising on Etsy.com. Today they removed another of my hats siting (sic) copyright infringement. My items are handmade and my own designs. Yes, the inspiration might have come originally from cartoons etc. but that is as far as the similarity goes. For goodness sake they are knitted and crocheted!. Others have similar items but have not been touched. I think I must have gotten up someone's nose how else do you explain the discrimination and victimisation. Etsy does not allow anyone to make comment on these decisions on their blog page so they don't allow any public recourse.<br /><br />Enough is enough.</blockquote><br />It's so frustrating to see good sellers leave Etsy (for good reason!) when it is so full of problem sellers - trying to sell junk or resell inappropriately or blatantly stealing art and designs. I think this seller's reasons for leaving, Etsy's inconsistent policies and censorship, are extremely valid and frustrating. And since one isn't allowed to complain about Etsy's policies on Etsy I feel the need to voice concerns here.<br /><br />Etsy tolerates loads of art theft and copyright infringement. They don't seem to be bothered by people selling other people's art on pendants or little mirrors or whatever as long as they get to profit from it. Until recently, for example, they were fine with Angry Birds inspired things being sold on Etsy, even apparently use of its art. Etsy continues to be full of products blatantly using art from Disney, anime, etc. I imagine the Angry Birds people, who are expanding their own merchandising, recently sent Etsy a cease and desist letter threatening litigation if Etsy continued to allow Angry Birds items to be sold. Hence the crackdown, by which a few sellers told me they were targeted. It appears that some sellers are continuing to sell Angry Birds inspired products on Etsy so this crackdown appears to be inconsistent as well. <br /><br />If Etsy can't be consistent in its policies it seems egregiously unfair to single out some sellers and punish them for what loads of others are doing! Lots of really successful shops appear to use art that's not their own in products they continue to sell without repercussions. What's the distinction Etsy?<br /><br />Of course, we can't really ask Etsy to clarify since it seems to be their strategy to immediately shut down critical forum threads. In the arena of forum thread closing, Etsy responds quickly and comprehensively. Go figure. No shortage of resources there.<br /><br />Has anyone else had issues with Etsy's confusing policies on copyrights? Or censorship?Emmahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06310039122656051824noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6966148044818024445.post-40263174394745448712011-06-25T18:25:00.000-07:002011-06-26T12:30:22.381-07:00Tegan & Sara - Sentimental TuneI bought Tegand & Sara's <A href="http://teganandsara.com/music/" target="new">new CD</a> recently and have been listening to it constantly. As always, their lyrics are really awesome. I am particularly captivating by the song "Sentimental Tune" and I decided to use it's lyrics in a little typography experiment, below. What do you think? <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YQR4gFC4txM/TgaKvVG9cjI/AAAAAAAAAk0/FLSifP2NJ2A/s1600/hard%2Bhearted%2Btegan%2Band%2Bsara%2Bsentimental%2Btune.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 231px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YQR4gFC4txM/TgaKvVG9cjI/AAAAAAAAAk0/FLSifP2NJ2A/s400/hard%2Bhearted%2Btegan%2Band%2Bsara%2Bsentimental%2Btune.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5622333730543465010" /></a><br />I used a ticket image from <a href="http://bellejar.deviantart.com/art/ticket-to-ride-49892598" target="new">Belle Jar</a> stock and tried to make the lyrics look all cool and stuff.
