Jazz Cat of the Week...

I checked my email this am and guess what I got a notice about?!?!?! I am this weeks Jazz Cat of the Week. I am jumping for joy. I can't wait for you to see the next challenge posted on The Jazzy Inspirations blog. I'll let you know when it's posted 'cause I know you will want to join along...

Cactus House...

While I was scrapping with my friends last weekend I started this layout:


I finally had a chance to finish it this past week. I am really trying hard to get my Korea album finished. This is one step closer.

These pictures are from Lori, Josh and My's visit to Jeju-do while I was in Korea. We stopped at this really neat place called Ilchulland. They had this huge "cactus house" that we walked through. It was really neat to see all the kinds of cactus.

I used my cricut cartridge called Calligraphy Collection, DCWV paper (both printed and the card stock) and this wonderful stamp from a company called Great Impressions. Steph picked it up for me last summer and gave it to me for my birthday. I have been patiently waiting to use it and another one she gave me.

I received my SAC layout...

Saturday's mail was full of goodies for me. I got my two new cricut carts I ordered, Life's a Beach and Lyrical Letters. Can't wait to play with them and show you what I create.

I also received my Swap a Crop layout from Shannon (Pattipanda). I just love what she did.



The map of Korea and the Korean spelling of the titles she included are wonderful. It will be a great addition to my book!

Jazzy Inspirations 8 Challenge...

I have finally finished my card for this challenge. I haven't had a ton of time to focus on it so I put together a little here and a little there. Thankfully it's done now.

The colors we had to use were based off of this album and they are Riding Hood Red, Pacific Point, Whisper White and Gray.


Here is my take on the card:







Materials used (Stampin' Up! Products unless noted): Riding hood Red, Pacific Point, Whisper White Card stock; Bella Rose Designer Series Paper; Paper Piercer and Mat Pack; Basic Gray Taffeta Ribbon; Scallop Oval Nestabilities by Spellbinders; Basic Gray Classic Ink Pad; Chocolate Chip, So Saffron, Barely Banana, Creamy Carmel, Blush Blossom, Close To Cocoa Markers; Cookie Crumbs Stamp Set by C.C.

Stampin up layout...

I purchased a couple of SU! simply scrappin kits to try my hand at them. I am thinking of doing a scrapbook class at our local library using all kinds of tools I collected and figured the kit used below would be perfect for the pages. I think the theme is going to be spring/Easter project so everyone can come with pictures in those tones however, these pictures are from August and I think they work just perfectly. I'll be sure to show you some other examples I am creating with this kit and my cricut in hopes of a great class later on this spring!

Sweet Sunday Sketch 10...

I decided to try another sketch challenge for cards this week. It's so fun to have your own take on the sketches. (Speaking of that.... the new post is up for the SwapACrop on the Cricut MB.... we are using a sketch and I love it!)

I frequent Karen's blog all the time. I just love what she makes. Her projects are just so "warm and fuzzy" if you KWIM?!?! Love them. Anyway, this week her sketch was just screaming my name. I had some free time this evening and went to work. Here is my take on the sketch:

Second Attempt at an Owl...

Here is the second owl card I made. I am just in love with this cartridge. I think I like my first one the most but they are both pretty awesome. I did part with them both. Guess I better make a few more for my collection. lol
