I Dare Ya!

Over at Scrap-Tastic, I presented everyone with a dare. The dare is to post one of your very first layouts!(LOL!) Yes, I said it! Post one of your very first! I know it's a bit exposing, but it's fun and you get to see how far you've come! Okay, here is one of my very first layouts (Don't laugh!)I used a layout recipe from Close To My Heart to help me!  Well, here is is!

 

All I can remember is how proud I was of this layout! I showed it to everyone!(LOL!)

If you send me a link to your first layout, I'll put your name in a hat to win a RAK from me! So c'mon! Let's see those first layouts!

 Here are some New Year's cards I made for the Cutting Cafe! If you haven't checked out the Cutting Cafe's files, you definitely need to! You can get some great stuff for a great price! And while you're there, go check out the Design Team Project page for some amazing inspiration!

Cupcake Cutie Card Kit

I know it's still Christmas time, but I wanted to show you a card kit I've put together over at Scrap-Tastic that is super fun! It's called the "Cupcake Cutie Card Kit"! It's a Valentine's card kit that's loaded with tons of delicious scrappy treats from Pink Paislee and Kaiser Craft! Check it out!

 

Here are some of the cards I made using this kit. I'm showing you 8, but you can easily get 12 -15 cards out of it. And the best part is it's only $24.49! You can't beat that! They've already started going fast, so you'd better get on over there to get yours!

Just Me Acrylic Album

I was feeling a bit reflective this weekend, so I decided to make something all about me! I was asked if I could come up with an acrylic album to teach, so this is what I came up with. Since I rarely ever scrap about myself, this was fun for me.  The hardest thing for me to do was to find photos of myself that I liked! You know how you never like photos of yourself!(LOL!) Well, here it is!
