Birthday Card

I created this birthday from a sketch posted on Platinum Scraps. I used the George cartridge for the balloons and sentiment so I am planning to submit it as a cartridge exploration challenge fulfillment over at Scraps of Color too.

Hello Card

I created and submitted this card as part of a card challenge over at Scraps of Color. I created it using mostly scraps from my stash and I didn't use my cricut or any stamps! I had to repost the picture because I had inadvertently left something off and I did use the cuttlebug on that small area although you can't see it in the picture!

Pool Fun

I completed this LO from a sketch that was posted over at Platinum Scraps. The designers over there used an Easter theme for their LOs. I used photos from an afternoon of fun in the pool at a hotel in January. My DD and I went to hangout with Sharon and her family and the kids got into the pool and afterwards we did some crafts! I also submitted it for Technique Tuesday on Scraps of Color.

Blog Award

A special thank you to Alice over at Alice Brown Creations. She was nice enough to pass along a Sunshine Award to me. Thank you for your kindness and generosity and for your willingness to share your beautiful creations. We are so fortunate to have you as a part of our scrappin' sisterhood.

DD's Card

I've got another cardmaker in my house, this is a card completed by DD after she watched the My Pinkstamper DVD. She used doodle charms for the ice cream cone, the happy birthday cuttlebug folder and one of the studio G stamps for the happy birthday.

Wednesday Wanderings

When I originally started my blog I posted weekly misc. updates which kinda took a backseat. So with the start of Spring I thought I'd reintroduce it under the name of one of my MB ramblings! I've been busy as usual with life in the fast lane which includes work, family, faith and scrappin. I was out in the yard raking leaves on Sunday so now my allergies are acting up which means I'm not a 100% this week. On the scrappin' front I have been trying to finish up my LOs for the sista swap over on the cricut MB. I'm hoping to complete some other LOs this weekend, trying to use my stash and not add to it. I am also planning to take DD to a peace pole dedication in Fredericksburg at their aikido dojo.
