A Couple of New Discoveries

I just love finding new blogs to follow. I'm not sure if you all know but I LOVE to go to thrift stores, flea markets, and garage sales. You never know when you'll find a TREASURE. I found this blog of beautiful creations. Natasha is from Australia and "WoW" is she creative!

Visit her at Artistic Creations by Natasha Burns



I found Natasha's Blog by visiting Songbird


I just love blogs like these two . . . Someday I hope to create beauty like they do.

Have a super weekend! I'm hoping my BF Valerie will be here sometime this weekend to craft with me. We're going to make some aprons - with FLAMINGOS!

Baby Book

I wanted to show you this baby book I made for a friend . . . It was the second one I did and I was so happy with the way it turned out. It was a lot of fun making it too!

New Projects

Whew that was a long hiatus . . . I just got so frustrated with my dial up internet connection - Yes it was like being in the ice ages. So I finally! got broadband - Wow what a difference. Now maybe I can keep up with everything - LOL


Yesterday I went to Valerie's house and we stamped and stamped. She was working on her Pink Paperie designs - be sure to go check her blog! That girl is so talented!!!!!


Here are a few of the cards I made

All three of these cards used the Cheep Talk set from Stampin' Up! I love that set! This one was Valerie's but she let me borrow it yesterday. I was on a roll . . . I actually made 5 cards in 5 hours - that's pretty good for me. Give this a try sometime. I took my scraps . . . just the scraps and challenged myself to come up with some cards. I had a few sketches to prompt me but the fun part was trying to use only scraps.


Here are 3 more cards I did . . . One of them is a limited edition set from SU and the other 2 are stamps I borrowed at Valerie's . . . Spring is in the air!

Stress-Free Thursday

It had been about 3 weeks since Valerie and I had gotten a chance to sit and just stamp "our hearts out"! Which is exactly what we did last Thursday. Here's the cards I made - Please be sure to visit Valerie's Blog to see her beautiful creations.

Let me know which is your favorite.
