I get this question all the time...

"What is Skribblz....is it a sticker?"

This is the question I get more than any other. No, Skribblz are not stickers, they are transfers.

"What's the difference?"

Stickers are peel and stick and are made with strong glue on inexpensive substrates like plastic and paper.

Skribblz are transfers. We use high quality, ultra thin light-weight vinyl, in a matte finish, that has a very thin layer of self adhesive for applying the design to the wall. Because of this, Skribblz are sandwiched between two layers: A rigid paper backing that allows the vinyl to be processed and a thin low-tack transfer paper used to position your Skribblz art.

The difference between stickers and transfers is obvious once they are on the wall. Stickers...well, they look like a sticker. Skribblz Art transfers look as though you have painted the image on the wall.

Oh and one more thing.....yes, you can take them off. Skribblz are easy to remove and won't damage your walls. They may however, damage poor paintwork on walls. If you're removing your skribblz and you notice anything suspicious, a little heat from a hairdryer will soften the vinyl enough to allow it to come away easily from your paint.

I hope this clears up the question!

Cheers!

Gettin' Funky with the Word!

How much do love be inspired by things around you? Yeah, me too. That's why I started this company and why I love what I do....taking something average and adding a little bling to make it ART. Check this out.........




How cute is that!? I'm just so completely lucky to be able to do something I love.

However, change is inevitable.

We have chosen to discontinue the Skribblz Art Creative Series. For many reasons, keeping two lines that are so completely different from one another, is just not in the cards for us at this time. In streamlining our collection, we hope to offer more creative designs in our Designer Series and a greater selection.

A special thanks to everyone who has supported us, and we will continue to design innovative pieces for the Just Cre8 kits.

Look for our new website to debut later in March.

Keep Smilin'!

Life's wonderful!

I'm just back from the school this morning, delivering some cupcakes to the classes for Valentines Day. All the kids have their little cards done and are so excited to give them out to all their friends! I just love watching how excited they get on special occasions!

Our Disney adventure was wonderful! If you've never been to Disney, it's a definite must. Whether you have children or not, it's the kind of vacation that keeps you so busy you just can't think about your worries or stresses...there's just too much to do. During dinner one evening, we sat at the Biergarten restaurant with two couples who, now that their children are older, come to Disney and experience all of the fun for themselves. It struck me that Disney has such a unique and fun way of presenting things, that it doesn't just cater to children but to people of all ages.

Anwyays, I wanted to share one of the shots from our trip... It's hilarious to think how both of them were all..."I don't want to have my picture taken with characters" and "that's for babies" at the beginning, and then a couple of days into the trip, they were just so excited to get a shot with this guy! Heck, I even wanted to get a shot with him!



Surprisingly, the Magic kingdom was one of our favorite parks, along with Epcot. It was interesting to see how much the boys enjoyed experiencing the different countries in the world showcase at Epcot....of course, doing the Kim Possible adventure helped with that as well.


Ok, I have to mention our favorite rides.....

Mine was the new "Soarin'" at Epcot....OH MY GOSH!!!! It is soo amazingly cool! You feel like you are flying over the most beautiful scenery you can imagine! After doing it twice back to back (gotta love that fast pass), I could have done it at least 2 more times!

My oldest loved Summit Plummet at Blizzard Beach....it's a 120 foot vertical fall on an over 300 foot slide......gasp! He said that his legs actually "got air" as he was speeding down the slide at over 50 miles an hour. But the proud look on his face when he was done, and the excitement in his voice, said it all.

My youngest loved Buzz Lightyear's space ranger spin in the magic kingdom. It's very similar to their new ride at Hollywood Studios, but the wait time is much more manageable. Don't get me wrong, the 3-D effects in the new ride are very cool, but the fact taht you can control the spinning in the original, and the shorter wait times, makes this one a definite fav.

My DH was all over the "Lights Camer Action" stunt show at Hollywood Studios. I have to admit it was pretty cool and showed how they create those high intensity chase scenes in the movies. I loved the fire scene at the end...very suspenseful.

Anyways, I could go on, and on, and on....but I won't. We stayed right at one of the Disney resorts and used their meal plan....so it really was a magical vacation for everyone. I'd go back in a heartbeat!

Have a wonderful day! cheers!

Bad Bad Blogger

I can't believe that it's already been since Halloween that I updated this thing! Soooooo Sorry everyone! Life just gets ahead of me sometimes!

I just caught a bit of the televised Presidential Inaugeration and I have to say...it was a very moving moment in history. The sheer volume of people was just outstanding! I think Obama understands the immense shoes that he has to fill, and his speech seemed to reflect the weight that has been placed on his shoulders. I hope we see wonderful things in the coming months!

I found out an interesting tidbit the other day.....apparantly the traditional first visit of a new US president has always been to Canada.

George Bush broke that tradition and went to Mexico.

Obama will be revisiting this tradition and coming to Canada for his first trip.

I think that pretty much sums up the character differences right there!

In other news.....Christmas was HUGE this year! We decided to go on a holiday...not something we've done for about 8 years. It was surprise to the kids on Christmas morning, but for the life of them, they could not figure out all the clues in the box until the very last one. As our oldest unwrapped the little handbook for Disney World, his face lit up and he looked like he was going to cry...I was already crying. Anyways, after some serious reservations about flying our youngest was also swept up with the excitement of a family vacation and escaping the cold winter air for a little break. It's all they've talked about since, and I can't wait to watch their faces as we exit the plane and head for Disney.

So I'm hurrying to finish the last of business before we head out. Hopefully I can update with some new things when I return.

See ya!

To all you Spooks and Goblins...

It's that time of year again! Time to bring out all your spooktacular decor like this guy!





He's the official greeter at our front door but when the wind blows he ends up pointing towards the house and peeping in the windows beside the door. He's scared the crap outta me more than once already!

So over the weekend, I decided to embark on a little project and try my hand at making tombstones. It's really not hard...a little time consuming to get them to look the way you want, but not hard and there's tons of tutorials and DIY listings on the internet to help.

Here's what I ended up with.....






Two of these are purchases from last year and I added 3 more....here's a closer peek....Check out the names!




























DH and I had a hoot choosing the names and distressing these...I can totally see me making more for next year....maybe even a gated fence to go around them too!

Have a Bootiful day!

A bit of a trim....

Got a new haircut!!!!!!!!

Yup, a whopping 6 inches was cut off my hair yesterday.....AGGGHHHHH!!! Actually I love it! A bit freeing to say the least....but no pictures yet. I'm still working on getting the curls to relax a bit....they're all happy and bouncy and a little WILD!

We've had a house-guest for the past few weeks.....my aunt is staying with us until her condo closes. She's a pretty cool chick so it's nice to have her around. The boys are really gonna miss her when she moves!

James' 40th birthday party was a HUGE success....although a bit wild in the hottub around midnight....thankfully most of the conservatives had left by then. Thanks to all my girls who helped me out with the decorating and planning and a HUGE thanks to Sue and Gary for being the official party photographers! I'm so glad you were here to share in the celebration! (ps-I want copies!)

Hmmm, I can't think of much more to say....I think that's a wrap-up of the last few weeks. Between the store launch, and the party, it's been a wild ride!

Have a great day! Cheers!
