TAG BOOK - 3-D and Fun Folds!

Happy Thursday! We have made it over the HUMP! Believe it or not, but for us, Thursdays are a more difficult Home School Day over Monday. Wednesday evening, my gremlins participate in an AWANA program at our church and they get home a bit later and are wound up from all of the fun. As hard as I have tried, they do NOT sleep in on Thursdays and they are SOOO cranky and unpleasant to be around! So we do steady plodding, lots of reading and mom (me) need LOTS of patience and prayer to get through the day. Once we hit the afternoon, we are better. :)


Have you gotten your copy of the 3-D and Fun Folds cd yet? This project comes in the Cd!!! What a wonderful encouraging gift to give and it is EASY to make too! Just takes a little time to decide what stamps and what papers to use!

PAPER TEMPTRESS AND BLOGGERS CHALLENGE - SKETCH

Hello Everyone, HAPPY Friday! I have a few projects that I am sharing with you today! The Bloggers Challenge will be on this post too, so scroll down please!

I am thrilled to be the Guest Designer for The Paper Temptress this month! They are having a Design Team Call right now - so go check them out - HERE, if you are interested. I have to say WOW! SOOooo many WONDERFUL papers in that store!!! I have been ordering some papers here and there and sticking in my stash and have had fun pulling them out and playing with them this month.

You have to FEEL this Black Velvet paper. Such glorious texture and it feels SO good in my fingers, I barely want to use it... But truthfully.... What good is this SCRUMPTIOUS paper if you do not USE IT!? If you USE it, it will bless not only YOU but someone else too! It is hard to SEE the velvet - but my oh my!

Black Velvet (Touche Black)



I also used the Cryogen White Iridescent and Black Leather (pictured to the left),

and Fantasy Silver Metallic Ribbon

Someone asked me the difference in this paper verses other papers - this is how I replied it is the TEXTURE and how it absorbs the ink and Ohhhh SOOO luscious and filled with SPLENDOR!!!

WHEN PIGS FLY...

Hello Everyone- 
We are preparing for the big game between the Packers and the Bears in the play offs... I will watch it passively. Shhhh, don't tell anyone, but I really do not care about football! LOL I will have it on and probably craft while I watch it and glance at it every now and then! So as I say preparing... we will probably have a veggie tray to munch on and some other goodies I bought from my girl friend Christina who sells Tastefully Simple.


I created this card for several challenges on Splitcoast... I used the Color Challenge (Baja Breeze, Bravo Burgundy and Pear Pizzazz) and the Sketch Challenge for this past week too.


I used the Technique Junkie Newsletter Dec 2009/ Jan 2010 Issue and Outside the Lines technique.
