My Card Captured!

I was so excited to learn that my card was selected as the Card of the Week over at Let's Capture Our Memories  I had great fun making this card.  The challenge was monochromatic and/or transparent.  I used blue and a transparent treat cup from Stampin' Up.  The fish are candies that I found in a bulk candy store at

 a famer's market.  TFL

Crate Paper Excitement!

I am really excited to learn that Crate Paper, one of my favorite paper companies, is hosting a Design Team call! That's right, the opportunity to design for such a fabulous company is open right now! Crate Paper is a staple product in my stash of patterned paper. I've busy creating some exciting new Crate layouts and I've gone through my portfolio and gathered some of my previous Crate projects. I figured I could try to be subtle about all of a sudden having a group of Crate Paper projects featured on my blog, but why not just be obvious! It's Crate Paper and I would love to be a member of their design team.

The Color Room

Well, I've found a new place for fantastic scrappy inspiration and that is the The Color Room . I love how they provide a photo, a color palette and a sketch to inspire your work. Here is this week's challenge called "Her Room" .

and here's my take on the challenge

Here are my projects for So You Think You Can Scrap Week 4
This was to be an edgy layout

and Week 5-this one was an all about me layout. I have hidden journaling in the pull tab stating "Why I am"

So You Think You Can Scrap

Let's Capture Our Memories has been hosting a So You Think You Can Scrap contest. Each week we are given a challenge, then the layouts are voted on and 5 people are eliminated. So far I'm still in the game! Here are the pages so far...

Week 1-Clean and Simple-not my forte' but I made it through


Week 2-Monochromatic-I chose GREEN

Week 4-Fun and Playful

Owl Pinata

I just have to share this, because I am so tickled with how he came out. My daughter's birthday party is on Saturday and it's a Valentine/birthday theme. Her invitations were owls, so we are trying to incorporate owls into the party too. My paper mache' pinata didn't work (the balloon deflated) so I decorated a large cereal box and with the help of the cricut and crepe paper, here are how it turned out. I don't know if I'll ever mess with paper mache' again...
