Breast Cancer Awareness and Blog Candy...

Cuz you just know the two go together!!

This little group of goodies will go to one lucky winner and all you have to do is either subscribe to this blog or leave a comment by Monday October 20th. Now why Breast Cancer Awareness??? Well this is Breast Cancer Month and I am finally going for my very first mammogram. I know, sad at 46 to be going for my first but at least I want to celebrate about it and share some goodies with my friends. These goodies include; corner rounder, rub ons, 1" stamp and block, foam tool, metal tokens, and 3 cards using CTMH silhouette paper. Now it's your turn, if it's time for you to get one, go for a mammogram!!!

Croppin the Weekend Away....

I swiped all these pictures off of Coral's (DIL) facebook pages!! She is an amazing photographer - maybe not so much for the clarity of the picture but definitely captures the moments! I love the shadows of Adreanna on the wall - used the Notebook bulk paper for the layout. There is more I will add but of course I did not drag my entire scrap room to the crop...ish lol. The colours in the Whoop si Daisy paper pack totally matched Adreanna's sweater. I cut out the edges of the flowers and used them as photo corners. My favorite picture above all this weekend is of my son Josh. Coral did an amazing job of getting his picture in the rear view mirror. I used CM paper for the background and matting - and CTMH Dimensional Elements for the scroll and brackets. There is one more day to the crop but I think I will work on upcoming card workshops. Happy papercrafting everyone!! Ciao, Sandra

Perfect Day Desk Set

With huge thanks to Dannie Graves and her amazing tutorial on Youtube I was able to make this great Desk set. It holds a nice assortment of tags, gift cards and envelopes and some standard size cards. There's a little note pad and space for stamps. I got a chance to use the Perfect Day bulk papers and the September Stamp of the Month. It did take the better part of a day to create this (note the current time) but some design time is included in that. I'll be shipping this off to my mom for her birthday - hopefully she will get some use of it.

The new studio

A couple weeks ago I showed where I was moving my stuff to in the basement. This is me moved in:

I don't use the bottom cupboards for storage, Chuck still needed space for some of his smaller tools and honestly, if I put something behind closed doors I would forget I had it and go buy more lol..

The space still needs tweeking, always will, but it sure looks better as a scrap room than a wood shop that wasn't getting used!! I love what a little bit of paint can do to change a room!!
