Christmas in July Challenge #41

Here is my card for the Challenge #41 (Christmas in July) at the Cuttlebug Spot.
I used Premium Craft Foil with the Cuttlebug Christmas Ornaments Embosser. This is the first time I used the foil and I love the effect, so I will definately go back and buy the purple. Let me tell you it is so easy to do and looks like you spent hours making it. We won't tell anyone -- that's our little secret.

Top Notch Die I love it

This die seems to be my favorite these days I love it. I can't get enough of it..Here is samples of my previous work with it Enjoy!

So many ways to use this die.

Getting use to blogging

Well I enjoy blog hopping I have had a lot of trial and error with the whole blogging thing I still need to fine tune and perhaps get a fun template type thing going on with it. It's pretty basic right now I 'll see if I keep up with it. I can't believe how lucky I was to win something already so I think I will actually enjoy this I have been noticing a lot of blog challenges sketches and so on.

Here is a recent card I made to enter a contest but changed my mind at the last minute and went with the one below It was fun to to but a real test of skills with the limited supplies. Speaking of which April has been generous enough to ask people at scrapping coast 2 coast to sign up to get a packet of free supplies to make a card with what she supplies I find it challenging and so much fun.

I still haven't told people about my blog because I wanted to make a few post and hop to see how it kind of works.

I look at my counter I can't figure out how people can see it I guess I'll have to ask a few more questions I know I myself probably signed in and out a dozen times to set it up I am still learning so growing pains continue

I'm looking forward to contests, fun & particpating in blog challenges.

Thanks for stopping by.

Jumping In at UnScripted Sketches this week

I am using this blog to show my creations, enter contest and grow in my cardmaking skills, altered projects, and of course scrapbooking I really need to do some more scrappy but I love love to make cards so many of my friends love getting them and the holidays are around the corner so I do a lot of gift sets as gifts.
Makes me happy as well as them. I have played along this week with Unscriped Sketches they had a great sketch and I have been trying to get my skills to see things differently with the sketches. So I did two this week.

Scrappin Coast2Coast August Party

They will be having a party over at Coast2Coast in August. If you interested in partying there will be many things to do. You can do one or all the challenges or Just pick what you like that doesn't take you out of your comfort zone. Looking forward to some challenges and the blogging world I am really new so I will be asking some of my fellow friends some questions but so far it's just a blast setting it up all the amazing things you can do. I didn't think I would take the dive but I did let's just see where it leads me. It's basically for me to enter contests, grow with cards , alter, scrapbooking. I have a paper to write not sure this summer how much free time but I will make some time for myself it can't all be work right! I hope you enjoy my creations as much as I love looking at yours.

Tall Mouse Contest

I have done it I finally decided to start entering contest this will make me grow to where I want to be. This is for the Tall Mouse Contest they are having it was due today.
Tall Mouse is having a Card Contest and you could win a $25.00 Gift Card not bad for making a card and I'm ok if I don't win if I don't try how will I know how will I grow..

I am very excited I have made the decision that I have some goals for crafting and will never attain them if I don't start pushing myself more. I really like how it came out with the crocheted Flower.

I am also new to the Blog World I have a ton to learn still but I also put my hat out there I have been learning alot.
