With all these challenges I am getting lots of LO done and most of importantly using up my supplies so I can buy new ones LOL..

I have used the lovey Ski Slope Designer Series papers in the Spring mini catalogue, chocolate chip cardstock and Kiwi Kiss Cardstock.

I also made the brads using the same DP, I love using the build-a-brad it adds that special element to match perfectly with any LO. I also used the pattern stamp from the Friends 24-7 stamp set, printed in chocolate chip ink.

Enjoy, I will share some more LO's soon....

Starting out

Welcome to my first post!!

I have been encouraged to start up a blog, so here it is...
I'm hoping by setting up this blog I will be more creative and catch up on all the scrapping I need to do. But first I have to get the house in order, may take a while....

Be patient with me because I'm not quite sure what to do next but stay tuned...
