I’m starting to get the photos in from the players in the Scrap My Scraps Challenge part II. I was so excited to see this email from Emily McLemore come through with a lot of photos. She created this darling banner project to use up that Pepto Pink Paper. And seriously, I’m not hating the paper as much. Sometimes it really just does take a different view on something to change your mind. I love how Emily added all the…
Well this HUGE, HONKIN, BIG OLE, GRANDMAMMY OF THEM ALL post is a few days in the promising… to Jeanne, at least. Sorry, Jeanne, I’ve been so crazy busy this week! I was going to blog yesterday but after my dentist appt I decided to stay up north in the “big city” to do some shopping… I really shouldn’t have since I did some “shopping” with Miss Jeanne while visiting Denver, but, I just HAD to. Went to a couple…
I loooooved playing with the Skipping Stones Design Chick Chat set!!! I made a couple of extra birthday cards while I was fooling around with the set for Tuesday’s Sketch Challenge. Here’s what I came up with: These are both simple cards playing on the same basic idea… but different, lol. I was fooling around with the flowers and grass for the top card and popped everything out with foam tape. I love how the grass looks “real”. I used…

{Scheduled Post} Ok so don’t pass out. LOL! I PAPER scrapped last week. Ay yi yi… I can’t remember the last time I seriously scrapped a layout with paper and traditional supplies… meaning non-digital. LOL! This layout filled two purposes for me. I needed a paper layout for one of the art contests at Creative University and Erin Gudge (the OTHER Erin G) at Treasured Scrapbooking was holding a Guest Designer contest for her store and pointed me in the…
{Scheduled Post} Hey friends! Remember when I did the Scrap My Scraps challenge last year? We had some fabulous fun with that one and I wanted to do it again, but haven’t really dug into my scrap heap quite yet. However, I made a card recently using some paper that I was not “overly fond of” and have gobs left… Here’s the card with some snippets of the paper on it: What you also don’t see is the purple collection…
