Did you think I disappeared?





























Sheesh...got a bit overwhelmed & gave up on posting here....but I am back & have some new stuff....I made these photo wall hangings for my sisters & mom for Xmas....kinda like how they turned out. I used pages from the CTMH chipboard album to be the base....and layered them to make them longer, etc.

FUN...random Stamping




I can't afford too much new scrappin/stampin stuff right now...So I am using random stamping to make my own patterned papers. The past few months have wiped out my bday card stash...and this one is gonna be great for a kid!

My Favorite CTMH Item...

Well..I do LOVE Close TO My Heart...and not sure if i can pick JUST ONE THING....but I will...and right now...it's the white daisy ink. I will be posting a card later today that I used stazon ink to stamp a flower ...then colored in with a waterbrush that I dipped in white daisy reinker....SUPER COOL effect....So...for this week...my favorite is the pigment based white ink...who knows what it'll be next week !

WELCOME to the NOVEMBER PAPER TRAIL BLOG HOP!

Christmas is NOT my favorite holiday at all....I rather like Thanksgiving & Halloween! But...I did manage to make 1 holiday card & 1 NON holiday card using the colors in Mistletoe. I didn't get this paper pack yet...so I worked with the color scheme instead.
