It's Me!

I really don't like my picture taken, but I thought I should post a picture of myself so people that visit my blog have a face to put with it. I thought this picture of me (the one on the right~lol) & my pup Lily was an ok picture so I guess I'll use this as my profile picture also. Don't forget to sign my guest book and leave a picture of yourself!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Check out my Guestbook!

I was blog surfing this morning and one of my daily stops is Charmaine's Oodabug Alley. She had this cool guest book that she added to her site that keeps a log of her guests and where they are from. I just thought that would be so cool to have on my site also, so I added it to my blog! Please check it out at the bottom of my blog, I would love it if you signed it and left a picture of yourself. I can't wait to see where all of my guests are from!

Try a New Technique

Monday's challenge at SCS is 'Try a New Technique'. This week it was Crayon Resist. I had never done this technique before so it was interesting for me to try something different. This is what I came up with, but as I was working on this card my mind was working in overdrive coming up with other ideas that I want to try. I may play with it this afternoon if I have time.

It was a fun challenge, so if you have never done this before check out Beate's tutorial at SCS and try it for yourself!

Supplies Used: Stamps~ Mixed Bouquet, Happy Everything, Linen Background.

Paper~ Glossy White CS, Basic Black, Pixie Pink.

Ink~ Pixie Pink, Bashful Blue, Certainly Celery, Apricot Appeal, Basic Black.

Accessories~ Crayon (any color will work or a birthday candle will also work), Sponge Daubers, Black polka dot May Arts Ribbon.

Super Sketch Sunday #14

OK, OK, I'm a week late posting Amy's Super Sketch Sunday #14! Well at least I got it finished right? I had a tough time with this one, I had a hard time trying to fit 2 sentiments on the front of the card, so.... I didn't! I just couldn't find the right size or fit for the designed that I had picked. I like the way it turned out anyway, even if it's missing one element to her sketch challenge.

Well, off to work on Super Sketch Sunday #15, hopefully I get this one done before next Sunday!!!
