Hi Stampers! A few years ago I started off with a blogspot that was about my life and everything I had gone through. Since I stopped writing in a journal, I decided to change everything around a bit. I didn't have a lot of entries, so I started to blog about my craft projects. This blog is where I will upload all of my art, projects and photographs.
A few years ago, I started scrapbooking with my sister. What started off from a $1.00 stamp has grown into an obsession! I absolutely love history, so anything to commemorate it is fine by me! Thanks for stopping by!
I got this idea from Fabulously Artsy. I made the card for my coworker Jill, but ended up using another card. I used the following materials:
White Cardstock
Recollections Kraft Cardstock
Recollections Cape Cod Cardstock in Yellow
CTMH My Acrylix Butterfly Wings
CTMH My Acrylix Felicity Collection
Recollections Clear Stamps Doodle Birthday
CTMH Exclusive Inks Tulip
CTMH Exclusive Inks Chocolate
Versamark Ink
White Embossing Powder
White Uni-Ball Signo Gel Pen
The Paper Studio Spare Parts Embellishments
White Grosgrain Ribbon
Mini Glue Dots
3-D Foam Squares

While I'm on the subject of stuff I like, I must say that I found a new love for my house. I've heard of it before down in North Carolina, and I'm so glad it came to West Virginia. This past Friday, I went to a party at Cheyanne's house to smell Scentsy products. Like I said, I've heard of them before, but I had never smelled their stuff before. Check out their website at
Scentsy.net
I ended up buying a Doodlebud warmer and three scents: Sugar Cookie, French Kiss, and Mochadoodle. As soon as I got home, I lit the warmer up and put in Sugar Cookie. OMG!!!! Within five minutes I could already smell the tart throughout the house. I ended up texting Cheyanne the next day to have her order me another scent: Gingersnap!
My new addiction! No more wasting money on tea lights and tarts! I have a Doodlebud! Thanks, Cheyanne and Sarah!
I love all products by Close to my Heart, but I think my favorite item is the MyCreations Memory Keeper (Z1116). As you can see, I've made a few of them and posted all of them on my blog. I love how easy it is to assemble and how easy the dimensions are for any sizes of paper. The box is sturdy enough to hold all of my treasures and then some. I've made four of them for baby showers and they were a hit! I'm hoping this item never retires or I'll have to buy 20 of them!!!
