Hip Pics Albums!


Love the CTMH Hip Pic albums.  Here I used one to make a little mini address book for a co-worker that is leaving for a different job.  We each filled out a page with our contact info and a personal note.  There were a few blank pages for additional names in case there were others she wanted to keep in touch with.  It was a fun and quick project and she loved it!

A Wonderful Day!

What a FANTASTIC day I had yesterday at Buckeye's Hometown Holiday Boutique.  The weather was perfect!  A beautiful, sunny, mid 70's day with an ever so slight breeze!  I enjoyed talking to many people-scrappers, cardmakers, and many who declared their lack of talent with pride...lol!  Although I don't believe it about anyone... I've seen many who tell me they are not crafty suddenly realize they love creating.  Anyway.. thank you to anyone who stopped by my booth to look, shop, chat and inquire.  Also, thanks to my Mom and my Husband for all of their support and help over the last couple weeks and yesterday (such as running over to the store at the last minute to purchase a tent because it looked like maybe I should have one and thank goodness he did because it was a beautiful, sunny day and the shade was much appreciated)!  I'm a very lucky woman to have such caring people in my life.

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #80

 
This is my entry for this week's Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge.  If you've never gone to the Blog to check it out, it's worth it just to see the entries.  So many talented people!
 
I used one of CTMH's Picture My Life cards as the main image on the card (the bike) and this month's SOTM It's The Little Things for the flowers.  The papers and PML cards are Chantilly... one of my all time favorites.
 
Thanks again for stopping by and come back again soon!

Three Amigos Mini Blog Hop November

So... if you've ever used the phrases "Too Much", "Too Rich", or "Too Sweet", please look away!  You've been warned....lol...
This month's "challenge" for our teeny tiny blog hop was to create something using the Artfully Sent cartridge.  Well, that wasn't much of a challenge because I've been using it a lot lately, so I figured I better make it extra special. 
I know I've been saying over and over how much I love this cartridge, but honestly when it first came out, I thought it would be useful, but wasn't sure how creative I could get with it.  But there are so many options within all of the card choices and so much mixing and matching that can be done.  The deer and rabbit(s) are from one of the popup cards and the tree is from one of the overlays.  The clouds were the cutout part of the card with the clouds in it.  The great thing is, I still have pieces left from these cuts that I can make two more cards out of!  I had a lot of fun making this one and I know it's not for everybody, but if you feel like maybe you're in the middle of a cartoon, that is the look I was going for.
Thanks for stopping by and continue on to Donna's blog to see what she's created for you!
