Update...

So I didn't make the DT for Sketch-abilities but some fabulous ladies did and I hope you all go and play because I'm sure they will give you some great inspiration.

I have been working on my May kit for AW&CT and I can't wait to share May's projects with you, Lee gave us some awesome, REMINISCE...Genuine Girl papers. They have been super fun to work with. Alas, you will have to wait until next month to see.

I will be posting a few things I have done recently including my April DT projects in a few days.

Weekend Scrapping

I actually started working on this LO and card during the week, but I did it slowly and they are finally done. These are for some challenges over at Simply Obsessed for their April Spring Cleaning challenges. These were a lot of fun to do. Plus I finally tried stitching on a LO. Those cross-stitching talents came in handy, I did the back stitch all the way around the picture. I really like how this turned out, it is a very simple LO.





Plus I am not so patiently waiting for the May Kit at SO It has Crate Paper patterned papers in it and that is one of my favorite manufacturers. Check out this kit it is amazing.



I realized that I never shared the LO I did with the March monthly challenge kit for Scrapbook Goddess Sonja, aka the Goddess, gave so much good stuff and I still have stuff to use from it.



I also did this LO with the April monthly challenge kit over at Scrapbook Goddess I still have a lot of papers to use from this kit and I intend to. It was fun. If you're looking for a new place to hang out you should come on over and check this website out it's a lot of fun. Oh, this was a total scraplift from my friend Robin. Here's her LO so you can see my inspiration for this LO.



Here's mine



Tune in next week because I will be able to do two things, one post my April DT creations from AW&CT and I will finally find out if I made the DT for Sketch-abilities. There were quite a few applicants over there so keep your fingers crossed for me.

Some LO's to share

In other news I came across this sketch blog called Sketch-abilities through Pub Calls and they are doing at DT call. I decided to give it a try. I love using sketches so I thought I'd give it a shot. All I had to do was to use this sketch for my submission



So here's what I came up with:




I have been scrapping it's just I have not had the time to share them here on my blog. So here are a few things I have done recently

I'm A Bad Bad Blogger

So I promised to draw a name and I totally forgot about until my lovely friend and fellow DT member reminded me that I hadn't updated my blog. While life has been a little busy lately and I just haven't had the time I need to do all the online things I want. I want to apologize for all of you who left comments. I will get the drawing in a moment. I need to put everyone's name in a hat and have Brian draw a name so bear with me.


So the winner is.....

Robin!!!!!!


I really want to thank all of you for taking time to come visit my blog and leaving me some blog love. I do appreciate it.

So I will update my blog again this weekend because I have some LO's I'd like to share with everyone.

Recent Happenings

I am going to try and update my blog at least once a week. We will see how this goes. It shouldn't be hard to remember because Michelle over at Simply Obsessed has been good about reminding us or asking if we have updated our blogs. You should also go over and peek at their March monthly kit because it is awesome. I can't wait to get mine. actually here's a picture of it. Jaime and Shauna picked some great stuff for us to play with this month.



I have metioned a project I did for my Nana's birthday and I want to share it with you, so here it is:



I was really pleased with how it came out. My Nana loved it so much she had it framed and it is hanging up at their house now.

Also this is an older LO I did but I have been saving it to give to my Nana because I wanted to put it on a canvas. I am chicken at trying new things so it took me forever to try, but I think it came out really nice.



I do have some other things that I have finished but I can't share them yet until after the decision for the DT is over at Angels Wings and Crafty Things

Another really cool thing going right now one of my favorite sites Scrapbook Goddess is for the monthly challenge, the owner Sonja was kind enough for those of us who signed up for to send out to us a bunch of goodies from her store and all we have to do is make 1 LO for the monthly challenge. Let me tell you she sent enough products to make a lot of LO's so I am really excited about it. I need to get my rear in gear and get my pictures printed and my LO done.

Also there is a birthday card swap going on right now and there is still time to sign up, sign up ends on the 15th of March so if you like swaps and are interested, sign up and come and play with us, it will be fun! Besides that you can order so much fun stuff from the online store.

By the way my links were working for the websites but you can go to any of them on My Favorite Scrappy Sites. Sorry about that.
