Some Cards!

I was scrapping yesterday with some of the Cosmo Cricket Girl Friday line and I thought,"you know, this would be great for cards." I'm in a card swap at Paper Popsicles and I made these for a couple of the ladies. I hope they'll like them!!!

Another Cosmo Cricket Project!

Well here's a view of a book I did last year that is published in the Zutter Bind It All Around The World Idea Book that came out at CHA in January! You can get more pictures and full instructions on this album in the book!

And.....yes, I'm trying for a spot on the Cosmo Cricket Design Team. Me and about a million other people, including many ladies I know and work with already. So, Good Luck to everyone!

I (heart) Cosmo Cricket

To me, Cosmo Cricket is one of those few manufacturers whose products are classic and timeless. Whether it's a paper collection released two years ago or yesterday, I enjoy scrapping with it. In fact, I admit, to hoarding those collections....

Here are a few projects I've done with CC ....both old and new.

The "Bloom" album kit...with a twist:



A 12x12 layout:


A Maya Road House album kit:






An 11x14 canvas:


Like I said.....timeless........And, yes, I (heart) Cosmo Cricket!

Now for something TOTALLY different....

I still remember that phrase from my Monty Python's Fly Circle days (guess I'm dating myself here)....anyway, they always cracked me up...still do. But, I digress.

For me, artistically, something totally different means pushing my limits or doing something I don't usually do. I've done both recently, and I'm excited about that.

First, I recently participated in an Altered Angel Swap with my friends from Altered Art Junkies . This was a SEWING swap....well, I don't sew. Let me rephrase that, I can sew I just don't do it much and it's outside my comfort zone. So I was excited and intimidated to participate in this swap. But, I am happy to say...I think my little angel came out fine (and, she's making someone else happy, so I've accomplished my goal!) Here's her picture:



Secondly, I never scrap ME. It's just not something I do. Mostly, because, I'm not in many pictures. I'm the one behind the camera. Well I was recently asked to scrap about myself.....why is for another post. But, this layout I created represents only the SECOND layout I've ever done picturing and covering just me. Again, an accomplishment I'm proud of....so I thought I would share.



And finally, I don't say this often, but I really feel it: I'd like to thank everyone that stops by occasionally and those who follow my blog regularly. Your comments and support are very much appreciated!!!
