Glitter card


Do you know what my 14 y.o. son calls glitter?
The Herpes of the craft world.

Every time I spend time in my scrappin' space and I use glitter I get it everywhere. On my project of course, but also my clothes and body. In fact, it ends up everywhere! On the kids, my husband, the cat the laundry...you name it! I still like to use it though and everyone will just have to deal with it. Here is a card I made yesterday with CTMH's Endless Love and Playful Flourishes stamp sets.

Sillhouette scrapbook layouts

So....I said I would post some pictures of the pages using the new Silhouette papers from Close To My Heart. Here goes....







What little treat do you allow yourself in order to feel better when the weather is keeping you inside?

I hate cold weather. Always have. Always will. I am just thankful I don't live in Alaska like my brother where it has been -36 degrees for the high temps. Lately in Nebraska, the temps have ranged from single digits on certain days or as high as 40 degrees yesterday. Today it is really windy and that makes for bone chilling cold. On days like these, I like to hole up in my scrapbook room with my space heater on and create. On the agenda for today is to make samples for a crop I will be at in May using the CTMH Silhouette Papers. These are the most elegant papers. I will post some pics later today of what I have gotten done.

New to Blogging

Well, here it is. I have been wanting to start a blog for months. I was stuck on the title though. Did you know that you can Google "what to name your blog" and find the most common used words in a blog title? Bear with me as I learn the ins and outs of the blogging world.

My favorite blog to visit is Confessions of a Pioneer Woman. If you have never been to Ree's site, go check it out now. It is awesome. She shares the wonders of ranch life and raising her four punks with her DH Marlboro Man.
