The Huge "Mini" is Done!!!!!

Hi Friends!
I wanted to show you this gorgeous mini I created for Charity at A Lil Scrap of Heaven. We are doing Cynthialoowho's swap and she requested the 5 and dime paper. As you all know I am kind of a deep colors, vintage lover so bright and cheerful scared me to death........ However, I love it! This was the funnest project I have done so far bar none! It just kept growing and I could not leave anything out! I really do think it is very very nice.

I am entering this in the Design Team call for Alilscrapofheaven.ning so wish me luck. I hope you enjoy this. I am really thinking of making a few kits so if you would be interested let me know!

Sweet Photo Box

Hi! I created this little photo box for my first design team project for The Altered Page. It was alot of fun and actually very quick and easy. Some time ago, on a fishing trip with my husband, I was crocheting and I started creating these little oval frames with eyelet edging to insert trim into. I have made them in several sizes and just love how they turned out. Today I put some ribbon through this one and fell in love. The colors went together so well and it was just very very pretty. I mixed paint to match the ribbon, painted and modpodged the box in and out, made a little saying cut it out, blinged it up and slipped it on top of the photo here slot and Wa-La! sweet little box. Lot's of fun and so quick and easy, I would like to encourage everyone to come over to thealteredpage.ning.com and see what we are up to. I am going to host an altered box swap over there so come and join me!
Have a happy scrappy day!

It is Official I am Addicted!

You all have to see what I created yesterday. I was in a swap at The Scrap Beach for tags and I have never really made any unless they were for a specific album with the exception of my "fashion" tag which was for the WOC design team call. I wanted very much to enter the design team call for The Altered Page so I wanted these tags to be special. Well I can say that I love them, don't want to send them, LOL, and my 6 year old (very discerning) grandson says they are "So Beautiful!"

Grandsons are great for the ego. I had problems with the pictures but I will show you a little sneak peek of one and will post the whole bash later today.


ok it's later and here they are...

Hello All,
Well as I said in the last post I have been making butterflies.....butterflies........and still more butterflies. It's been alot of fun tonight is the get together so I will be posting some more pictures of that but here are a few pictures of the preparations. Craziness! I also wanted to share a little dress I made for a small friend of mine. She brought the house down when she wore it to church on Sunday night. Our visiting evangelist called her the Polka Dot Princess and it's true she certainly was. I enjoyed seeing a little one in one of my creations again my princesses are all grown up! However I think Racquel is still a princess in her Easter dress that I made her this year don't you? Ok gotta get to crafting so much to do!

An Inspiring Call to Arms

Hi All,
With Memorial Day just passed here in the U.S. I have been contemplating the service of our brave men and women in the Armed Forces.  I live in Colorado Springs CO. Home of the U.S. Air Force Academy, Fort Carson Army Base, Peterson Field Air Force Base, Shriver Air Force Base, NORAD, and another I can't include because it is top secret. So needless to say we have a lot of service men here in our community. This morning I opened a you tube video by fellow scrapper Enastasia, and was reminded about Operation Write Home. This is a program in which we as crafters send cards for all occasions to our troops so that they can send them home to their families. 

Please join me in this wonderful endeavor. I know several soldiers personally who have used this service and they love it. There is a drive to get out the 2nd million cards by the 30th of June. Click on the link and start making a difference with your talent.
Enastasia also told us about a drive by the Holocaust Museum of Houston TX. The Museum is collecting 1,500,000 butterflies to represent the innocent children who were lost in the Holocaust.
What an incredible project! Make sure that you clink on this link and find out the rules (such as no glitter), gather some kids together and have them make some butterflies and tell them the story of the Holocaust. What a better way to spend a summer day?
