Tagged!

LuvLee tagged me almost a month ago (yikes), so here goes:


1. If you could have $100.00 worth of scrapbook paper or assorted embellishments, which would you choose? I would choose ribbon and eyelets

2. If you had to choose between using only stamps or ribbons, which would you choose? Stamps, because you can do cute one layer cards, and they make stamps that look like ribobn

3. If you knew how to do both awesome cards and layouts but could only do one for a whole year…which would you do? Cards, I'm already way behind in scrapbooking, another year won't hurt!

4. Would you rather own a scrap book store or have your own scrapping room at home? Room at home, I'm afraid trying to run a store would take all the fun out of it.

5. What is your CURRENT card making or scrapping style? Simple

Not Quite Navy Thanks!

Here is a card I made for a challenge on the demo side of SCS. I used the Time Well Spent stamp set that was just sent to demos, the ink is Not Quite Navy, Purely Pomegranate, and Wild Wasabi. Cardstock is white and Not Quite Navy, and the ribbon is double-stitched wild wasabi. I think it turned out quite cute - especially since it only took about 10 minutes! Love quick and cute...

SCS Holidy Tutorial Blitz Projects

Here are some things I made from the Holiday Tutorial Blitz tutorials over on Splitcoaststampers

Here is a treat box based on Beate's treat box tutorial the paper is from an odd assortment I had left over from last Christmas, I'm making myself promise not to buy any holiday based paper until I've used up all the paper from that holiday that is in my stash.

Here is a party favor treat box, based on Beate's tutorial. The original tutorial from SCS can be found here.

Long time no post!

Ok, I'm making an early New Year's resolution - to post here at least every two weeks. November was a hectic month and I'm so glad it is December, a calmer month, for me at least! Starting next Tuesday after fall graduation I'm off work until January 8th and I'm so looking forward to it.

Anyway, here are some pictures of recent creative works...

The first two are lap quilts mom and I made for grandmothers. The bright one if for granny who lives in a nursing home, the sepia toned one is for my Dad's mom to match her livingroom. All the pictures are pictures of her kids or her parents, etc. I hope they each like them.

And here is a birthday card I made for Grandpa. I think it came out quite manly! It uses DCWV papers, MFT stamps (Let's Here It For The Boys), and SU! 5/8th inch Old Olive Grosgrain.
