Believe it or not, I hadn't touched the Tommy papers even though I had bought them with the release of the Spring/Summer 2013 Idea Book all the way back in January. I love them. The colors are vivid and the designs are crisp and bold. Sometimes when I really like a paper pack, I'm afraid of cutting into it. My hoarding tendencies come out and I don't want to ruin the paper. Crazy, no? So, I thought I needed to challenge myself. I decided to try to use my whole pack of Tommy...all at once!
For the next several days, I will feature the different items I made using the Tommy Paper Pack. Here's what it looks like and what comes in a pack.

I've just ordered the following alphabet stamps, Framework Alphabet. I can't wait until they arrive and I can start creating with them. I've seen such beautiful artwork using this set.
The first year I vendored at the Tri Delta Crop for a Cure was in 2009. My friend Maggie was finishing up with Close To My Heart and was nice enough to ask me to come along with her so that I could possibly vendor the next year too. I had never vendored before and had no idea about what to bring or how to prepare. But the cause was near and dear to my heart, so I just decided to participate and not worry about the results. I'm so glad I did! Fast forward to last weekend and to my fifth year of being a vendor at Crop for a Cure -- what a blast! It was the biggest and best crop they have had. This year's crop raised an amazing $30,300 for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital!

I've only had a relatively short time to play with the new Cricut Artbooking cartridge but I am sooo excited about it! There are a number of great options for scrapbooking layouts that I am looking forward to trying out. Here is one double layout I made with a fall themed overlay, beautiful maple leaves, the word "Autumn," two coordinating photo mats, and the journaling all cut with the Artbooking cartridge.

The orange striped paper is from the Babycakes paper pack (so you can see that you can use it for things besides baby themed projects). This layout came together fairly quickly. I'm looking forward to making some more layouts with Artbooking!Pin It
Art has always been a part of my life. My first love was drawing and painting, then came bookmaking and photography. After majoring in Art Therapy and working in the field for a while, I took a break to raise my kids. I came upon scrapbooking after having kids because I took so many pictures of them. Stamping got added to the mix only after I discovered clear stamps. I'm now a Close to My Heart consultant and would just make art all day if I could! I'm lucky though and have a day job which I love as a Preschool Director. I fit in crafting whenever possible and the purpose of this blog is to share some of my art work with you.
