What a great weekend creating and today - organizing!! I hung up my new MM shelf and put lots of embellishments in jars so I can see them and hopefully use them better!! Speaking of organizing... Triple the Scraps (one of my favorite blogs) has a great site she is promoting and a GIVEAWAY!!! The giveaway is for an awesome punch organizer (which I could really use!!) Anyway you should check it out - 'cause if I don't win I really hope you do!! Here is my card to enter the giveaway. I used two large Marvy scalloped circle punches - a Black Precision Pen - Unity Stamp - Birthday Chic - Basic Grey Lime Rickey, My Mind's Eye and Bazzill Papers - a button and creative impressions ribbon. Happy Sunday!!

These are a couple of the cards I made while on our retreat this weekend! This place was beautiful and so close to home!! The Joy card was made for the mojo monday challenge and the other card I used a verve sketch on the stamping out alzheimer's event.

Unity/Splitcoast Stampers Challenges

Got home late after bible study last night and stayed up even later stamping a couple cards for hip hop challenges over at the Unity Forum on Splitcoast!! I had to ... I got new stamps in the mail! Let me know what you think! The little birdie one is the Sketch challenge and I used my April Kit of the Month stamp. The flower is the "case" challenge and I used my new May KOM stamps for it!!

Cool New Signature!!

Patter Cross had a note today on her blog about Nina B. who does these cool signatures that you can use on your blogs or whatever and I just loved it!! Check out her blog here and make sure to look at the gallery. All you do is just email her and she will fix you up. The best part - she does this to raise money for her ministry in Croatia! Isn't that awesome!! Have a great day!!

Triple the Sketch Challenge

My card for the Triple the Sketch challenge. Paper is Bazzill, Prima and K&Co. Stamps are Unity. Metal corners are 7gypsies. Flowers are Prima. Brads are Bazzill. Button is Basic Grey. Click on the image to see it better. For some reason it looks grainy here but big it looks fine.

Some of the graduation cards I made recently. I have to say making the girl cards is a lot more fun than making the boy cards!! I am just not good at these masculine cards. If anybody has any tips, please leave me a comment!

Pretty much everything I have done lately is with Unity stamps. I am loving that company. I even won a challenge with that first card last Thursday during hip hop. If you haven't checked that out yet - you should it's way fun!!

A little bit sad

This weekend Mariah played in her last Rec All-Star Tournament. It was a little sad in a way. I hope that she can continue with soccer by making the high school team next year but we'll just have to wait and see.

Anyway..., can you believe those shoes!! They used to be pink! ~ and click on this last picture and look at it larger. Is it wrong that I think that is funny? Mariah saw it and fell on the floor laughing she said and I quote "she's terrified - I'm a BEAST!!" she really cracks me up:)

Christian Paper Crafts Magazine launch party today at 7:00

and Happy National Scrapbook Day to you all!! I took some great pictures of Mariah and one of her friends last weekend at the Azalea farm near Oak Ridge that I hope to scrap today!! I have also been making lots of cards and posting them over at Splitcoast stampers for the Unity challenges. I promise to have some pictures this week!! Have a great day!
