I happened to visit my neglected blogger account the other day to check out what I've been missing on blogs I follow and was shocked to discover I now have 8 followers!  Thank you each for the honor and making me smile.  Since your kind enough to follow my blog, it would be nice if I'd post a little something, eh?

I've haven't done much crafting recently and what I have done has been prompted by CropChocolate.com.  Between participating in challenges posed to their current focus group and the weekly challenges posed on the 'shops' website I haven't completely been neglecting my crafty supplies.

I used a doily for the both current weekly challenge and last weeks.  The previous weeks challenge was to use masking - the doily served as my mask.  This weeks challenge was to include a homemade flower and I used the doily from the previous challenge as part of the background. The masking/inking of the doily was done with TH Distress Stain.

I used a variety of items to create the flower for the current challenge - 2 SU punches, MME Lush paper and brad, MME So Sophie paper, and MM Hul-la-ba-lo.


I hope you like the cards and encourage you to check out CropChocolate.com; it's a great site for buying supplies and making scrappy friends.

I've made two more wreaths recently.   One using a frame for St. Pats day and a cherry blossom tree.

We Scraphttp://www.wescrap.com/home/showthread.php/8077-WeScrap-Loves-you-Contest! is going to have FIVE kit winners tonight!  Check it out.

We Scrap is holding a give-away for a kit AND a cricut cart!

I generally try to make Christmas presents each year.  This year I was on a wreath kick.  Here's some of the wreaths I made.  One of the recipients requested a Halloween themed wreath.

I made a number of the ribbon wreaths in a variety of color combinations.  This is the one I made for myself.

Whoo-hoo!  Squeezing in one last card under the wire.  This one is for Corinne's Box of Inspiration Challenge.  For this one I used My Minds Eye paper, Tim Holtz Distress Ink and a random ribbon.

I was able to knock out a couple cards for two more We Scrap Bring in the New Crop Challenges before the 11:59 EST deadline tonight.

The first one is for Amy's Color Combo challenge.  I used Basic Grey, Echo Park, and My Minds Eye scraps along w/Tim Holtz distress ink and AC markers.

Sarah's 'Something' Challenge - Something: old, new, borrowed, blue.  My somethings are:  an old card I'd embossed and never used a few years ago, a new snowman a friend gave me, I borrowed my DD's pens to give him eyes and finally blue ribbon and card.  I have no idea what products were used.
