The Countdown is On...

"I Create Here" layout (Anna Griffin)

Only 7 days until I leave for the Paper Cowgirl Altered Art Retreat in Waxahachie, Texas! I'm so excited to meet these COOL gals and take some AMAZING classes. One of the swaps I'm signed up for is called, "A Cowgirl Needs a Horse". I want to share the link for the horse templates. There are 3 different horse patterns. You can download the basic templates, trace them onto cardboard or heavy paper, join the legs to the torso with buttons, brads or whatever, then embellish them however you like. I just love the pattern. I can imagine lots of horse in so many colors and patterns.

I created the layout above, "I Create Here", for this week's challenge at Scrap Tiffany. The challenge is to "Scrap Your Scrap Area". I love to see where all of you create. Hop on over to Scrap Tiffany and share your layout with us.

"Happy 11th Birthday, Jennah & Houston!"

We celebrated Jennah and Houston's 11th Birthday's this month. Houston (my son) and Jennah (my step-daughter) are only 11 days apart. We always have a birthday party for them both. This year we celebrated with a tower of cupcakes. Happy Birthday! We love you both!

"Delightful" Mermaid Gift Card

There is still time to join in on this week's challenge at The Whimsical Ink Sorority...Create your best, new stamped card using something recycled. You could win a gift certificate to the Queen Kat Designs store.

I used the cardboard packaging from Prima Flowers as the background for my card. I love the scalloped edges and delicate floral design. I used "The Guardian" mermaid stamp for this week's card. Isn't she beautiful? Hop over to the QKD store to shop for all of our stamps.

Nikki Sivils announced her new design team this week. I was disappointed that I didn't make it, but I was SO happy to see my name as an honorable mention HERE. All Smiles here!!!

Have a great day!
