Ali Edwards you Sooo Rock!

I know I couldve waited to post this until tomorrow-ok those who know me know I couldnt wait...I actually won something! Ali Edwards at aliedwardsdesigns.com had a huge giveaway...and I won.
I am still trying to figure out this blogging thing-newbies have more experience if you know what I mean. But I am blessed. God has placed some truly crafty women in my life, and they are teaching me about giveaways and keep me posted when new ones come out...but I didnt really expect to ever win!!!
I couldnt believe it! Soon I will be receiving 8 Hero Art Stamps (large ones no less) and 7 Hero Arts Chalk Ink Pads! I am --exciiited!!
Thank you Shelley for the giveaway heads up- and thank you Ali for such an amazing giveaway!

Card Club

Im sorta funny when it comes to being creative....I think I do my best stuff when Im alone. Dont get me wrong, I love love love Craft Nites at Shelleys every Saturday... even my husband looks forward to kicking back with the other husbands that are there doing "man stuff"...watching a show or movie, etc...the women craft, talk, laugh, and talk some more...I love that. The thing is I dont get a whole lot done in the crafting department! So I have come to the thought that I have to go with a focused project on hand or well....I will just be there for the awesome company.
Anyway, Ruthy came up with starting our own card club- four cards a month, due by the last Saturday of the month (I threw that in for Shelley who works well under a deadline)...our count has now gone up to 5 a month, 6 if you want to keep one for yourself. After trying a different style, I worked on this one today. Inspired by Canadian Nickel Scrap'n I have decided on her easel card as my card selection for May! I just put one together so give it a try! Click HERE

Heres what the ladies will be getting from me...I love folded cards, and look forward to trying more in the future!

Thanks Canadian Nickel Scrap'n for the inspiration and video!

a card for Jenn

Hello and happy Monday! I have spent my day between loads of laundry working on this card for my friend Jenn...today is her birthday! Im excited because I got to play with a new tool today...my blender pen! (thank you Beth for introducing me to this awesome tool!) I cant wait to build my selection of inks ! Kuddos and Thanks to "artsyscrapmom" at scrapbook.com who inspired me for the layout of this card!

Super Saturday!

Im super excited because today is Craft Nite, a weekly get together of some of the most important ladies in my life! I completed a page during the week, which I havent had time to pst and will try to get it up soon...Its such an amazing thing to be able to have so many in your circle of close friends...I love each and every one of them dearly!

another lesson in blogging!

Today I am attempting to upload a pic...shouldnt be too hard right? Ive spent the last hour or so reading thru the help to figure out which editor I have...sigh...are you sure there isnt an easier way?!(btw, you can update your editor in the settings tab...scroll all the way down)
 Ok now that the pic is actually up...my friend and fellow scrapper Beth has been raving about this one particular blog kwernerdesign. I finally had a chance to check it out last night and was up till the wee hours playing with the one layer challenge..Thank you Beth..I am now obsessing over the one layer! Luv ya :)

Monday Monday!

We had an amazing day in Zion over the weekend...even if my hubby almost gave himself a heart attack running down from the Emerald Pools with our son! It was a beautiful day and I so cant wait for a return visit in the Fall :)

I do have a serious scrap jones going on today though as I read through all the scrap sites Im following! Im still figuring out the whole blog thing...but have figured out how to follow! Hoping to figure out how to change my backgrounds and stuff soon...I am so looking forward to a few days of scrapping!!!
