Greeting Kids Love

Good morning! I made this card last night at about 11pm, that may not mean much to you but I am generally in bed at 9pm. However, after Scrapbook Leagues at Scraptales last night I was feeling inspired and I hadn't had time to work on the Mojo Monday sketch so I got busy! I love this stamp set, it reminds me of the books my elementary school used to teach reading. Do you remember Dick and Jane? (And Sally and Spot.) Well this little sweetie reminds me of Jane.... (Pose Jane, pose!) I paper pieced Janes dress, hair bow and the heart she is holding. I think she looks so sweet... thanks for stopping by, have a wonderful day!

Today is the Day

Welcome! Well it is finally here, today is the day I will post for the first time on my new blog... (drum roll please!) It was my goal to get this blog up and running by January 1, 2011 and I am excited to have reached my goal. My intentions with this blog are to share with you my hand crafted creations, invite you to attend classes I offer in my home studio, and keep you informed about current specials from Stampin' Up! Perhaps I will also inspire you to create as well. So without further adieu...

One of the things I try to do each week is to create a card using the weekly  Mojo Monday Sketch. The sketches are always interesting and a great starting place for creating a card!  This week I decided to make a Valentine's Day card using a fun color scheme. Thanks for stopping by!
