Today I’ve decided to play along with Jeanne’s Hip Hop Challenge called Unity Has The Edge! Here’s the challenge:

Make a card or project using Unity stamps that has at least one edge that is either scalloped, torn or cut in some other pattern.

I hope everyone is doing well today and life is good! Today I'm gonna show you some fabulous letters I altered from Say It With Letters. This font is just beautiful and looks lovely altered.  I used some of my new favorite paper from My Mind's Eye to cover these along with coordinating die cuts. 

 

 

If you've never checked out the wonderfully scrappy goodness over at Say It With Letters, then I recommend you get on over there to be inspired now!

That's all for today, so hugs and blessings to you and everyone you love!

Happy Weekend!

It's gloomy and rainy here this weekend, so you know what that means for me? Scrap time!! Today I'm busy catching up on a few scrap assignments  and preparing for a class I'm teaching tomorrow called, "Delightful".  It's a simple, but fun 2-page layout I'll be teaching at the wonderful For Keeps Sake Scrapbook Super Store here in St. Louis. Whenever you're in town, you need to be sure to put this store on your "to do" list!

 

Enjoy your weekend! Take Care and Be Blessed!

Hip Hop!

Happy Hip Hop everybody! I know we’re having a wonderful time today celebrating motherhood so, I’m gonna continue the tributes by celebrating the two most important women in my life; my mother and my daughter!

They are truly two of the most beautiful, caring, naturally-sweet, and most fabulous  people in this world!  I've also named my daughter after my mom, so they are both Carole!  Since I fall in between them somewhere, I proudly refer to them as my before and my after.  They are my best friends and I love them with all of my heart.

I hope everyone's having a wonderful weekend! Easter is tomorrow and I'm finalizing my Easter menu. Instead of ham I've decided that it's a great time to break out my pit to barbecue my first batch of ribs of 2009!
