Whew! It's been a while!

Wow! I guess it's been almost 2 years since I last posted to this blog.

I don't know if this project has been worth waiting for, but I enjoyed putting it together and thought I'd share it here.

I'd seen some great tutorials and videos for 3x3 notecard holders and cards and decided to try my hand at putting a set together. I grabbed a hodge podge of supplies from my stash (plus a couple of more recently-acquired punches) and got busy. Here's my first attempt.

..now that I have the feel for it, I might try some different designs and papers.I hope it doesn't take another 2 years!

2009 Calendar

I made this desk calendar for each of my sisters and gave it to them as a New Years gift. I was inspired by a similar (but fancier) calendar on a blog I visit, which you can check out here (and she, in turn, was inspired by someone on SCS, whose calendars you can view here).

The calendar sits on the desk tent-style, and the ribbon holds the bottoms together and props up the calendar. It's the size of a regular greeting card.

You can see more samples and a tutorial here.

Hope you like!

Because Jennifer rawks

I recently won a giveaway on Jennifer McGuire's blog. Jennifer is an amazing artist -- scrapbooking as well as stamping. I've loved her style for years.

I've seen Jennifer use this adhesive in her videos, and she always says how much she loves it. I'm so excited that I won this giveway.

The adhesive arrived this weekend. (Whoo hoo!) I think I need to do some crafting soon!

I won something today!

Whoo hoo! I'm so excited! I won a stamp set from Hero Arts blog.
