Well after much time spending on PTO business, I am finally making time for crafting again. My son turns 6 in June and I really wanted to make my own birthday invites for him. I was searching for some time for a file for SCAL because I just don't have the time yet to sit down and create my own files. So after much searching, Lindsay from The Frugal Crafter's posted her free file for me to snag!!!

In the last 2 months or so I have finally been able to sit down at night and work on crafts. No pages, just ART. I recently joined the yahoo groupART Haven Creations Friendships I have always admired the vintage, nostalgic and just artsy look. The ladies in the group are just so warm and welcoming. I use to swap a lot and that really use to get me in the mood to scrapbook. So I joined in some of

Delay, Delay, Delay.... Boy. I miss crafting and making my cards. I have been so busy at school that I have no time to myself. So now I am finally working on my holiday cards. Having such crafting blocks is keeping me from getting the job done. I am searching for influence to get my creativity back. So maybe in a day or two, I will be posting my projects. :)

The week of Mojo 100 from Mojo Monday is now complete. I made it everyday this week. How good is that for a challenge?? For me that is a big challenge. I am proud of myself and I love the sketches the Mojo Team put together. So much fun indeed. Well here is my last card. Today's sketch was submitted by Mary Fish. This was a lot of fun. Until Monday...Have a great Sunday.And to wrap up my post

So last week I goofed when I posted way to early for being the Guest Designer for my friend Cheri and their team blog with other team designers at Stamp, Scrap and Doodle Saturdays. I created one card earlier last week for the challenge, but since I already posted it, I decided to create a new one and post another to add. Since I have been creating a new card each night, what was one more right??

Wow.. I loved this sketch. I am a bit disappointed in the lighting of the picture, You can not tell the card is made from shimmer card stock and does not show at all. I have been really excited every night waiting for the new sketch. I have really enjoyed them all. Thanks Mojo Design Team!!!!!

Well I just completed my 5th card and it is 2am right now. I really need some sleep, but it was so much fun taking this on this week. Here was the sketch for the day and the one I completed.

Well I am keeping up. Today is the 4th day of the sketches and though it is 11:22 at night I am still have the "Mojo". Here is the sketch for the day and the one I created. Wanted to do a bit of Halloween. I just the purple & orange colors together.

So I am behind and tired. I am not too impressed with my card, but it was all the Mojo I had today. It is now midnight and I need to go to bed. I have challenged myself to complete a card each night so my goal for today is done. In the spirit of the Mojo Design team and their holiday cards, I created one myself. Okay until tomorrow. Night.

This week Mojo Turns 100 and to celebrate with them I have completed my first card for their sketch.Since we are coming near the end of summer I like the idea of a fall card.

I love browns and what goes best with browns than a beach theme. My family and I have also found a new hobby finding & collecting sea glass at our local beaches. Tons of fun. So what better way to accent my photo of my monochromatic beach card with brown sea glass.

I am honored and ashamed at the same time. I have my first blog award. I am speechless. My blog is so plain jane and not how I want it to look. I don't know how to do half the stuff on here. Insert and change layout. Thank you so much Penny for this wonderful award. I am sorry I am so late in accepting it. Penny has a beautiful blog and is amazing at the SCAL software.

Well since school has been out and PTO is on a break. I have found the time to start working on my books again. I have completed about 40 pages so far and finally finished my daughter's baby album. Amazing how fast they grow. Never realized how much Brianna and Jordan looked alike as babies. Most of the layouts I used my cricut and SCAL to create titles. It is awesome the things I can do with

So even though I have not posted or uploaded any new projects I did find time to create a few things. Let's start with April, yes April. I had to do some swaps for a challenge and like the one I did for March Sketch Challenge Cards on Visual Designs by Chris's Forum... I made one that I did not swap out. This was the only one that I made like this. The other one I posted on April 5th. Now on with

I created this card doing a cut file challenge on Visual Designs By Chris (http://visualdesignsbychris.blogspot.com/) She is awesome. Also joined a swap and here is what I came up with. I am pretty happy with it. The picture is a bit graining and I am playing with the camera to figure out why. Sorry it has been a while since I have updated. Spring break is here and the sun is finally coming out.

So I decided to take on a challenge with Gina K at StampTV . I normally don't do these types of challenges with online sites and such, but this one was something I always wanted to learn. I purchased my prismacolor pencils about 2 years ago and really knew how to use them with my odorless mineral spirits. I did not know that you needed to have a good quality smooth cardstock. What a difference it

So I was cleaning out my folders where I store my pictures and I came across some projects I worked on for a Girl Scout Winter Conference Auction last year. These projects were so fun to make that I just may end up making some for my daughter.Just thought I would share them.

Well it has been a busy week and I am just now getting around to updating. During V-day I made little treat baskets for my friends and made a 3x3 chipboard album for my husband out of coasters they sell at the local yen store. The v-day baskets were a SCAL cut that Michelle created at www.scrappingtable.com. You can get this cut file for free on her site. Here are the pics of the goodie baskets.

Wanted to share my little scrap area of my living room with you. It is located in my living room of our small military home. One day I hope to get my very own room, but that comes when we retire from the AF. Most of the small containers came from the yen store.(The Japanese Dollar Store) The white shelves came from Homac(Japanese Lowes)which comes in all different styles in shapes. The containers

Well not much has been going but the norm. Busy with PTO stuff, busy with the kids and gearing up for Brie's party on Sat. I was able to make a card for a friend that requested I make a card for her. That was a good feeling. She offered to pay, but I did not feel right doing that. So I came up with the card here. The card was for a friend that just had a baby girl. Well until next time.

Happy Holidays!!!!! Hope you are having a good holiday season!!! I have been busy with the PTO and in my spare time making gifts for family and friends. John and I made truffles and put them in embellished tins. I put together wrapped Hershey miniatures and also placed them in the tins. I really enjoyed making the cookies in a jar too. I think these came out really well and fun to make. Brianna

Well the last month has been one busy month. I was thinking once the kids head back to school that I would have more free time, but that has not been the case. I am on the go everyday, all day, non stop!!!! I have been able to take time in the evening to clean up and organize my little area, but still not enough for me. I need to start back up and get to working on my pages. Not to mention the

Well I need to make some more Thank you cards and decided to use Dan's SVG Scallops that are he uploaded this past Friday. It is a simple card but full of color. You can get free SVG cut files from his blog every Friday and they are only up for one week. I am really finding inspiration by using my cricut with the SCAL software. I really do enjoy it. Thanks Dan for sharing your talented work with

So I was playing around and made a few cards tonight.. My favorite is my "Little Birdie Thank You" card. It was a lot of fun to make. The picture don't do justice. The white dots are Pearl like gems, and ice stickles on the curls. Along with my SCAL cut little birdie.. Which I will place the file later for you to grab. :) You may grab the file by clicking "My Little Birdie"Well I am going to

How does one create in a environment that is filled of hot, sticky, humid air?? Everything feels yucky. The temps are about 80 but with 100% humidity, and no wind or breeze the room just feels like a stuffy box. My mind is going blank. I have been surfing the web and finding ways to get my mind back to creating. My little desk fan gives me a some relief, but not enough. My paper feels moist and
