My first blog post ever!!

Ok ...so here goes…this blog is going to about my crafty attempts at card-making, scrapbook layouts, mini-albums and whatever else I decide to try to create.
There are several wonderful blogs that I actively monitor, drool over and use for inspiration. Some of these blogs are purely about whatever the person has created. Some are about promoting a company’s product. And some are about a little bit of both. I am not sure which type this blog will be. I am currently not on any design teams or affiliated with any company. I know I want to share my creations with you, talk about what works for me and what doesn’t and participate in some swaps (some of which I have already signed up for) and challenges. I am hoping too get a new camera and have better pictures and maybe some videos to share with you in the future. (My birthday is just around the corner…hint, hint for my hubby...since my he may be the only one who ever reads this...) Mostly, I want to be more involved with the wonderful world of crafters that I know is out there.

This picture is a card I made several weeks ago. Most of the products used for the card are from Papertrey Ink…love, love, love that company. I haven’t been able to do much crafting this summer because my oldest daughter is home from college and is staying in my craft room (which was once her room). But school starts soon and I will be back to my craftin’! (Of course, I will miss my daughter terribly and crafting will take my mind off of the pain…right?) :)
Whew…first blog post ever…done…thanks for stopping by!

  3. Great job on setting up your blog! I haven't accomplished that yet myself and not sure I will. Have a hard enough time finding an opening to make the cards and participate in a few challenges. Keep it going and happy crafting!
