Today was a full day! We started out the day at Starbucks in a big line. Flat Brenda is very particular about her drinks (big surprise) and we had to get a special order Bombay Fog kind of drink. So very confusing.
We lined up really early to get some great things at Momento Mall. We [...]

Today was a day full of excitement and anticipation. We started the day out in the rain, 6 ladies (including Flat Brenda) in a Durango on the I-5 to Seattle. We had an uneventful drive and ended up at our parking destination right on time.
We got on the shuttle and headed over to the airport. [...]

I remembered that I had this neat tray under my bed (its been there for 3 years) and I thought, now is the time to [...]

I got lots of swaps: Here is a sample of some of the swaps I’ll have next week on the general floor at Convention. I decided to make most of them mountable (4″ x 5 1/4″) so if someone just wanted to mount it on a card front, they could.
The first card uses Fun & [...]

WOW – this was hard! I kept looking at Kazan’s sketch at 2Sketches4You and thought I knew what I was going to do…I made a lot of “do overs” on this one. However, that said, I do like the final project.
I decided that I wanted to use a set that was retiring so I decided [...]

This card layout was taken from Noella’s card sketch challenge on Creatively Yours.
I wanted to use lots of goodies that are retiring from Stampin’ Up!’s catalogue this year so I decided to start with my designer paper. However, the inspiration for this card comes from what I had lying around on my craft table this [...]
