Challenges, Mini Albums, & more.

Hey everyone, 

It's panning out to be a very long week for me. My students are TAKS testing again this week and that means restless children who are stressed about testing. 

Today I have a card that qualifies for 2 sketches, CPS 164  and 2Sketches4U. Love that. 

 

CPS 164 Sketch

 

2Sketches4U #54 

I haven't done much crafting this week so I'm spotlighting a good crafty friend of mine, Kathryn Krieger from the ScrapBeach. I met Kathryn when I was designing mini albums with a kit club hosted by Marion Smith. I had the best time participating in that kit club and met some great girls. 

Here is part one of a great mini album Kathryn is working on. I love watching these videos because she offers some great crafting tips and products. Enjoy. 

Sweet Hugs,

Fly High...and update.

Hey everyone,

Today I have a card based on a sketch on Amy Rysavy's blog Prairie Paper & Ink. I made this card with Stampin Up cardstock and a clear stamp set by Practicing Creativity Designs called "Look Up".

 
Don't you just love the little Hot Air balloons. I knew I had to have this set. Here is the sketch.

Fly High Supplies: Mostly Stampin Up except where indicated -Cardstock:  Elegant Eggplant (105126) & Pink Passion(102762), Stampin Write Marker in Soft Suede (116329), Modern Label Punch (116630), Scallop Edge Punch (112091), Practicing Creativity Designs: Look Up! Clear Stamps, Misc: Patterned Paper.

 

Computer Update:

My new computer is on order and I can't wait. I decided to get a Apple iMac and I got a great deal on a refurbished one on the Apple website. As you know I'm an avid Youtube watcher and for the last couple of years I've been watching videos reviewing apple products and I totally fell in love with what I saw. I'd been saving up for a iMac since December last year and this little computer mishap pushed me forward to get exactly what I was and to find a great deal in the process. (I never buy anything full price....he he).

Now its just a waiting game. As soon as it gets here I will post a review.

Plus I should have 2 more hauls coming from Hero Arts and PapertreyInk coming soon. Scrap goodies galore. That makes me happy. :-D

That's all for now.

In sweet anticipation.

Hey everyone, 

Today I'm being inspired by sketches. Love love love sketches. Todays is from Card Positioning Systems.

The solid cardstock is from Stampin Up!, buttons from Papertrey Ink, and the Thank you stamp is from Cosmo Cricket's Jacks World stamp set.

CPS 161: 4U

Hey Everyone, 

I've been totally inspired the last few days by sketches. Who knew sketches could be so motivational? Apparently everyone except me. I've found so many sketch blogs since I began my search and I've made 10 cards in the last 2 day. How exciting, right? Especially I've been getting custom orders and requests for everything from thank you cards to birthday invites. It's so much fun but also a real pressure cooker right now since I'm a bit of a perfectionist and want to give people a great product. So off I go to create and be merry. 

Here is one of the cards I created over the weekend. I've seen and heard much about Card Positioning Systems, however, this is the first challenge that I've actually participated in and it was so much fun. 

Thats all for now but more to come. 

Hugs & Sweetness
