Budget Blown! I Confess, I'm a shop-a-holic.

Well, it was fun. I am new to card-making and papercrafts, but that didn't stop me from diving in, especially when it came to sales at Jo-Ann's and Micheal's. Holy cow, there's so much to choose from! Yikes!  I'm posting a picture of the card I made for Aprils' husband.  I used LeCreme paper, spell-binders scallop-square die, Crop-A-dile corner rounder tool, rubber stamps by Fiskars.  All purchased at our local Jo-Ann's and the rounding tool online at Jo-Ann's. The inside has a pocket for a gift card. Happy Birthday Mark!

Wow, I impressed myself to have learned how to post pictures all by myself this time! Whoohoo! This is my second card to enter at the Mojo Monday contest. Go check out their blog! A group of really creative designing ladies!

Learning New Techniques!

I enjoy learning new things, however, sometimes it can be frustrating and I am finding I can only fumble my way through this techy stuff. I need my daughter to do a lot of it for me and she is a thousand miles away! April, thank you for your help "fixing" my blog page! Sarah, good luck in your ongoing studies. Now, I will have to re-learn some writing techniques! I used to be a good writer.....years ago. Things have definately changed since those days!

More Mojo Monday

It's rain, rain, raining today. Perfect weather to papercraft! I am adding another card today, I made it with the same paper collection as the one I posted previously. I actually used some of the cuts from the first one! Thank you to the creative gals at MojoMonday.blogspot.com for the opportunity to share our creations. Also, to Gloria, my very first follower. THANK YOU!
