Let's try this again.

I don't really know why I thought I could keep a blog updated regularly. Maybe because I'm not scrapping as much as I used to? Between working evening shift and it being summer, I'm just not being as productive. That being said, I do have a few projects to show you.

These first couple of cards are the sketches at My Sketch World for May and June. I also have my July card finished, but you'll have to wait 'til the end of the month to see it. Make sure you go ahead and check out the blog to see all the great sketches!






















And here are a couple of layouts that I've whipped up...

Whoa!!

I've posted 3 days in a row!! So how do ya like that? huh? do ya? do ya? Yeah, well, don't get used to.....it's just a freak accident that happened that way. So anyway, got to play in my mounds of scrappin' goodness last night, and this is what resulted :) Most everything came in the Label Tulip March kit 'cept for the older stuff like the MM woven letters and the Chatterbox bg paper I drug outta my stash. And that adorable photo is yours truly here at about age 3 :) Enjoy!

catching up....

since I haven't been posting like a good little girl should.

Check it out!!

The latest card sketch is up on My Sketch World! I just love seeing how everyone interprets the sketch in such different ways! Go grab you some inspiration and see what you can come up with
Here's mine....

I'm such a sucker!!

Sucker for challenges anyway! So of course when I saw this awesome new challenge blog, I bookmarked it right away!! It's called The Design Experiment, and the first challenge was to write a note to your younger self. I'm not one to do a whole lot of journaling, but there was just something about this challenge that made me want to do it. Of course, by the time I got mine finished, they already have challenge #2 posted. Better late than never though, right?? Besides, that's just another layout completed for me! And oh yeah, if you're wanting to read the journaling, just click on the pic for a larger view. To type all that here....well, I'm just not feelin' it ;)

News to share!!

If you'll head on over to MySketchWorld, you'll see my name listed under the card design team!! How cool is that?!?! I'm so looking forward to it! Lucy does great sketches and I can't wait to play along! Why don't you come join us and get inspired?!?!

Here is the sketch she provided for the DT call, along with the one I submitted.

Take a hike!

No, wait....I mean, take a trip!! LOL The newest challenge at Caardvarks is to create a card with a transportation theme. As soon as I read it, I thought of the Making Memories papers I have that have never been used. I know, imagine such a thing! I also had the perfect set of stamps from October Afternoon to go along with them. So in the end, a very simple card resulted, but I'm happy with it! :)

And another card challenge at My Sketch World. This one was to draw inspiration from the sketch provided. I got to use some of that uber yummy Teresa Collins Journal It paper I mentioned earlier, so that's what the cute little June calendar is ;) The stamp set I used on this one is from Label Tulip .....they come up with the most awesome stamps over there!! The little woven "congratulations" label has been in my stash for upteen ages. It came from the clearance bin at Target. Gosh, it sure makes you feel good to use up that stash! So anyway, I like this one, too, and I hope you can see the resemblance.
