Latest creations....

Finally had my scrappin' mojo return.....instead of just sitting here staring at my paper and adhesive, I've been scrappin' today!!!! Trying to get caught up/ahead on my DT projects over at the Shaker Box! Here's some of my creations from today:

A couple cards using Cosmo Cricket Paper and Close To My Heart Stamps

I had so much fun playing with the Valentine Card Making Kit from Daisy D's. Easy to do but fun to make. I altered the envelopes a little with CTMH stamps.
Used more Cosmo Cricket paper to alter this playing card. It's a new challenge taking place over at The Shaker Box where we are altering a card a week with journaling about ourselves. This week (our first week....) was "I am proud of..." This challenge will last 52 weeks. Come join us!

Also, another reminder about the challenge at The Shaker Box that is coming up next weekend! It's going to be small but FUN! Several challenges, games and tutorials will be going on as well as a chat or two in the chat room!!!!!

A New Year...a new LOOK!!

Happy New Year! We're already off to a busy start.....scrapbooking, hockey games, work, wine tasting, business trips.....just a few things occuring this month!
