Chipboard Calendars!

I have been seeing this little chipboard calendars on a few of my favorite sites... Jill's Card Creations and Stamping with Roxy ! So I thought I would make a few for the girls at work... I started with one and I am now putting the rest together! Stay Tuned!

These are all the individual months... I stamped a little month appropriate item on each month! I believe all of them are Papertrey with the exception of the pumpkin... I need to get Spooky Treats.. lol!

My First Sketch Challenge!

I seen a gorgeous card on I Heart 2 Stamp and then seen the sketch she created. I decided I would try my first sketch... ok I also had a little push from Regs! Above is my version of the sketch! :) There is glitter on the butterfly and little flowers and the ribbon is Martha Stewart, it is like white velvet... lovely!

Also, here is the link to the sketch and original card... I {Heart} 2 Stamp !

Valentine's!

Made these buckets for some special friends... I hope the initials on them don't give them away! ;)

I really liked how my paper flower turned out!

Goal for 2008!

I have been seeing a lot of people listing their scrapping or crafts goals for 2008 and I thought I would use this to encourage myself to get Christmas Cards done for next year! So my goal for 2008 is to do 5 Christmas cards a month, this will give me 70 cards made by me to give in December! I am very excited, so don't laugh! I want to put my goal on the side of my blog but that may take some time!

Made 1 of these, the center ball have a page pebble on it!

I made 2 of these!
