{ CPS sketch # 42 }

Hello, is this thing working? It's been so quiet around here lately. I miss everyone!!!!

I still have a RAK to give away. I will post it first thing in the morning and then soon after that pick a winner. I want you to have it before Christmas. It is Dec/Jan 2008 issue of Paper Crafts and some stamps. Be on a look out for that tomorrow!!!

Tonight I want to share a card I made for CPS #42. DCWV Christmas glitter paper, Maya Road chipboard that I painted and sprinkled with glitter and the little stamp is form Michaels.

{ Scrappy Hour Playground }

This is the layout I completed last night for the Scrappy Hour at Create My Keepsake. The technique was embossing. I used The Crafters Workshop template to emboss circles on my photo and Stampin' Up brass stencil for the embossing on the red paper. I can't even remember when the last time was that I made a layout. Cards are so much faster.
All the patterned paper is from Beloved collection by Tinkering Ink. The little embellishments came from a container that is sitting on my desk (KI Memories, Creative Imaginations). When I clean my desk I don't know where to put back some of the stuff so I toss them in this little container. I always find good things in there. Maya Road office sheer and Scenic Route chipboard alphas. This is my first pregnancy layout.
OK, I am going to make this an early night, well, I will try to watch 24, season 6, my first two discs arrived in the mail today!

{ Boo-tay package from PageMaps)

Look what arrived today !!! What a wonderful surprise. Becky from PageMaps sent me this awesome boo-tay package for winning a card contest. There is a little bit of everything here. My favorite, Melissa Frances glitter chipboard and stamps!!!! Thank you Becky.
It is really late here and I can't believe I am still up. By this time I am usually relaxing on the couch, watching "Bringing Home Baby" on TLC and feeling my little one move inside my belly.
I was working on a project from Scrappy Hour at Create My Keepsake. The photo is not turning out great so I will have to post it tomorrow. Check out Rachel, our Scrappy Hour queen, for a week long Scrappy Hour Playground video tutorials.
