Little behind on posting....

Retreat planning is in full swing but I'm managing to create in between projects. 52 Weeks of Sketches is keeping me motivated (will post those LO's soon) so I gotta use my creativity while it's here or lose it. I made these this weekend. The hearts and papers are from Target's $1 spot; I can't help but look every time I go and I'm never sorry I did. Letters from the Hot Spot at Archivers; miscellaneous ribbon & embellishments from my 9 years of collecting LOL.







I haven't attached them to make a true banner just yet. They are of the 12x12 variety so even four will be pretty large. I may just tape them to the bar and call it good.

Sketches anyone?

Ran across this the other day and thought it might help me to work weekly and keep the creativity flowing....we'll see LOL

It's been a while.....

So much going on I haven't even taken time to post lately. We finally got our new roof installed so I've been meeting with contractors for the inside work. I scheduled all four back to back so I could get it over with so now I'm just waiting on pricing. I was behind on two months of swaps for Lisa's group so I finished those yesterday. On second thought I would have liked to put a different color on the card back of the banner card but I've already mailed them off so it's too late now. Maybe the recipients. The two swap requirements were to make a card with the front a different shape than the back - hence the banner and to do something with acetate. I had bigger and better plans for the acetate however being so behind I thought I had better get them done and mailed ASAP.

Mmm Yummy Websters!

Go check out their new paper line.....I can't wait to get me some!!!

Hello Beautiful

Swap Items...

We have two swaps for the retreat this time and thankfully I am done with mine. 8 pages wasn't too bad. I took a 12 x 12 sketch and shrunk it but the 18 cards took me a while. I was able to double a 9 card sheetload and whip them out faster than if I had just picked some random sketch....eyelets and all! I can't even tell you when was the last time I used an eyelet but I have a ton of them and I'm going to use them....slowly but surely. So here are my swap items:






I ordered SU paper in an effort to start using my stash of cardstock. Well, I didn't use very much but I used some which is better than none at all!
