I've been tagged!!

My buddy Deb tagged me!! Thanks Deb, we need to get together one of these days!! We need to spread a little J O Y!!! haha. OK, here we go!!

1. If you could have 100.00 worth of scrapbook paper or assorted embellishments, which would you choose? I think I would have to say embellishments, cause right now I've got so much paper I'll never use it all!! I need some embellies to use up all that paper!!
2. If you had to choose between using only stamps or rubons, which would you choose?Rub ons by far. I am so not a stamper, I am envious of all you girls who can stamp, but I really don't have much desire for it.
3. If you knew how to do both awesome cards and layouts but could only do one for a whole year...which would you do?CARDS!!! nuf said.
4. Would you rather own a scrapbooking store or have your own scrapping room at home...(can't have both he he he)I would choose the scrapbooking store and then I'd have my own Scrappy room with all the supplies I want at hand. I have my own room at home and I am always in a mess and I am constantly interrupted by little people.
5. And last but not least, what is your CURRENT cardmaking or scrapping style....Tough question!! I just do whatever suits my fancy at the time!!!

OK, now I have to find five people that haven't been tagged yet, YIKES. I am just going to tag anyone who reads this -- consider yourself tagged!!

What's black and white and red all over???

No, it's not a newspaper, it's a couple of Christmas cards I made this weekend. I saw a challenge on someone's blog (sorry, I lost track of whose in all my blog hopping) to make Christmas cards that are just black and white. Well, some of these are masterpieces, gorgeous. So I decided to make a couple too, but I added just a splash of color. The first one I used 7 Gypsies paper and Imaginisce Pointsettias and Thicker letters that were painted and dipped in glitter.

The second one is Doodlebug embossed and polka dot papers and May Arts ribbon and an old vellum sticker from my stash. Hope you like them, it sure does feel good to be a little creative again.

Wow, it's been a while

since I last posted. I know, I am a bad blogger!! I've been busy with school and family and life!! School is great and I absolutely love it, it is the best thing I've ever done for myself. I look forward to each new day. I sure do hope I'll feel this same way come April and May. haha.

I've been meaning to post a few cards here ever since World Cardmaking Day last weekend. Treasured Scrapbooking had a bunch of fun challenges going on there last weekend and I managed to make about 5 or 6 cards. Some I liked, and some, well, not so much. Here are a couple that I did like.

This first one is a Melissa Frances card, we were given a sketch to follow and this was my take on it.


The second one was a sketch as well, I really like this one. The ivory paper is pearlized and looks much prettier in real life. The rub on is from Crate and the green paper is Imaginisce.

The third one was a challenge given by Dani to make a card with some "fussy cutting" on it. I used the 3 Bugs paper that came in the September card kit at TS. Used up some Thickers for letters. This one is on its way to someone on TS as part of a WCD card exchange.

So there you have it. I haven't had much desire to get into my crafty space lately, I am hoping its just school keeping me busy, and not me tiring of this hobby. I still love this hobby and looking at everyone's work, I just don't have the desire to do it myself!! Do any of you ever feel that way?? What do you do to get yourself out of feeling this way?? HELP ME PLEASE!!
