let your dreams soar

it was great times at Scrapfest on Friday with my friends Jillian and Karen. we shopped our butts off (surprise!) and we laughed. is there anything better than that? We were lucky enough to take a fun class and we got to meet lots of new people and to catch up with lots of old friends. I was inspired to dig into my bags of new scrappy goodness and play. this is what I came up with. can I say I love Webster's Pages????

on line crop this weekend

yes you heard it right.... we have an online crop happening this coming weekend at PIT. it's to get you all primed and beat the rush for national scrapbook day and provide you with tons of inspiration to create. I have a few challenges up my sleeve that should be fun and make you think outside your scrapping box. I will be around for Fri and I hope to see you there

baby buttercup

I was at Scrapfest on Friday and I was introduced to the world of Bella stamps. Honestly, I haven't really been tempted until I saw some examples at Scrapfest -oh my, I was hooked then. I picked up a few images in this line. they are so sweet. this card is for one of my daughter's clinical instructors who is due in June with her first child (shhhhh it's a boy!) my daughter and I sat down last night and coloured a few of the images up. I am excited that I have another image coloured and ready to be made into a card.... something to do for today.

gotta love a sketch

I was given this sketch by Karen over at PIT. it was to be the Thursday sketch on her blog but she received some bad news about her grandson so I don't know if it will be posted over there today or not. I am posting the sketch that I worked from and my creation. I love to work with sketched and make them my own

wanna make a difference??

how about making a card and sending it to a sick little boy? Lennon is 3 1/2 and he has bravely fought brain cancer for a little while now. his MRI showed more cancer activity in his brain yesterday. We are asking that people think of Lennon and send him a card to brighten his day. This is his address (along with his mom of course)

Amanda and Lennon Hunt 5649 South 31st Street Apr5 Lincoln NE 68516

thank you so much for taking time out of your busy day and making this little boy's day better

April skies ribbon kit

so here I was sitting at the computer all morning..... 1 1/2 hrs later and here is my very first blog post for SnS. let me tell you I was stressed about it. I am not big on posting on others blogs..... what if they don't like it. it's all well and good for me to ramble on here and all.... but on someone else's blog it affects alot of people. after I got over myself, I got down to the posting. this is what I came up with.... remember it's a first attempt. be kind LOL

BTW aren't those ribbons cute????

who says you have to scrap Christmas photos at Christmas

well here I am grabbing at Christmas photos to scrap now, now that spring is here. I tried this little ribbon trick along the die cut border. I love how it looks. (and it's so easy) see if you can figure out how to do it

another month, another great kit

happy April everyone. I hope the beautiful weather is finding you wherever you are. Being that it's April, that means another great kit at Pages In Time. check this out. you better hurry though. I have this combination of products headed to my house, and I don't think all the other add ons are going to last long
