Welcome...
So glad you chose to stop by!
I hope to use this blog to share some of my handmade cards as well as some of my scrapbook pages and maybe a few pics here and there that may or may not make it to a scrapbook page.
Scrapping for me is simply a fun hobby that I don't do often enough. More often than not, I'm a collector of all things scrap... i.e. tools, paper, embellishments...
Now to become motivated... Maybe this blog is just the way to do it...
Enjoy and come back SOON!
A friend of mine wanted to give a card to a coworker who is training to ride in the MS 150 this year. I immediately thought of the printable stamp set from The Cutting Cafe called "Let's Go For A Ride".
I used my desktop publishing software to color the bike with a nice girlie pink shade. I also added the "Enjoy the journey" sentiment which is also part of the Let's Go For a Ride Set. I just love this set. It has lots and lots of adorable images and sentiments. Go check 'em out!!!

Confession…. I never do Thanksgiving cards… NEVER! Well, now I’ve done two this year and it’s all because of the Cricut Cardz Challenge. This week’s challenge is to create a Thanksgiving card using the colors BLUE, BROWN, ORANGE, YELLOW and WHITE ONLY. This was a bit challenging for me, but that’s what it’s all about, right?
Now it’s your turn. Stop by the Cricut Cardz Site and inspire us with your designs!

Card Base – Brown Cardstock (5.4 (h) – Lacy Labels
Circle Cut – White Cardstock (4.5 (h) – Lacy Labels

I love making round cards so I really enjoyed the sketch @ 2 Sketches 4 You this week. I chose to make a circle birthday card. I used the Cricut Sweet Treats Cartridge for the scalloped circle (flower) as well as the cupcake. I really like that cartridge. It's got so many fun cuts.
Enjoy...
The timing of this challenge over @ the Cricut Cardz Challenge site could not have been more perfect. I needed to get a masculine card done ASAP. I usually procrastinate on the masculine cards because they are truly a challenge. For this card I used the Cricut Easter Seasonal Cartridge for the scallop circle base. I used “From My Kitchen” for the cake and cake plate. Of course, I couldn’t resist the urge to add ribbon, but at least no big bows and bling!

The title for this card, taken from that famous line in "Alice in Wonderland", is very appropriate for this belated birthday wish. The turtle ( a clear departure from Alice in Wonderland) was cut from the much awaited Cricut Paisley cartridge. I couldn’t wait for this cartridge to be released! Love it thus far!
Well, I’ve got Christmas cards to make, but I thought I’d stop by and give my blog some much needed attention.

I’ve been having such a good time making cards and matching envelopes. The Pazzles makes creating envelopes a snap so expect plenty more envelopes.
I was asked by my friend/coworker to make a card for her mom who is turning 62. She wanted a cute & fun card. Circle cards are always fun to make so I created a scalloped circle and added some colorful and fun patterned paper. I used the extra polka dot paper to line the inside of the envelope.
The little cake is from the Doodlebat Font DB Birthday Cheer. I converted it w/ the Pazzles…

I love making shaped cards. So CPS Sketch Challenge # 66 was simply perfect! I found the “Life is a Verb” quote online and thought… how true…! As a lover of quotes, I decided to turn it into a card...
So far, I’m keeping my promise not to buy anymore paper until I put a “significant” dent into the mountain that I have. I am the sole measurer of what is “significant”. That’s my built in loophole for one of those uncontrollable paper buying urges… Can’t be TOO strict with myself, right???
Enjoy…
