Shopping Notebook

I always have to make a shopping list for groceries, because if I don't, I will only end up eating chips, chocolate, cookies, pop, and who know what else for meals! Taking a plain little ole notebook from the $1 Store, I transformed it into this trendy little shopping notebook using Sasha- a digi image from In Style Stamps.

Make sure to check out the In Style Stamps blog each week, there are tutorials for new methods for stamping/scrapbooking on Mondays, Wednesday challenges, Thursday sketch challenges, and MORE!

Bella and Edward....

My DH saved some extra wood for me while he was working on our house we're renovating....he saves EVERYTHING for me b/c he knows I'll use it somehow...


add in this fun picture.....



Plus stamps from Artful INKables set, Fictionally Inspired, and VIOLA...... we have an instant gift to set on any desk.......I would probably just give Bella away and keep Edward though........wink wink!

A Moo Sheetload....

This month, Sheetload of Cards has teamed up with Squigglefly digi stamps! What a great combo of companies! Using a ShortCuts Frosted card blank, an image from Squigglefly, and the July Sheetload sketch....here's what I came up with:

Squigglefly Challenge #9

The Squigglefly Challenge this week was to do a one layer card....OMG, I'm the queen of layers and matting...this really was a challenge for me, but I mustered up all my strength and went super simple...



How'd I do?

Check out the blog to see what some of the other DT members came up with!

Team Jacob

After seeing the Twilight trailer........who knows, I may just turn into a Jacob fan after all, he is looking GOOOOOD! Made this with the new Artful INKables sets, Fictionally Inspired, and Into the Moonlight. Funny thing about this card, as I was putting it together, the lid to my SU ink came off my pad, and in the process of putting it back together, I dropped the ink pad on the card!! I was so mad....didn't want to color another image, so I just decided to go with it and ink up the rest of the card.....didn't turn out too bad huh? And here's some eye candy for the day....SWOON!
