Art Journal Challenge-Deck of Me Cards

Emily Falconbridge began this challenge some time back and I’m just now finding time to include it in my projects.  You’re given a prompt every week by Emily and are to design a card with the prompt as your guide.  I think most everyone is using an ordinary deck of cards and are definitely turning [...]

An Old Friend

When I got up the other morning, there was a very early morning message on my machine.  My first thought is, of course, “Oh gosh, what’s wrong?”  Happily, it turned out that an old friend of mine that I’d lost touch with saw the article in the newspaper about the crop and called to reconnect!  [...]

Up-Count and Count Down

It’s hard to contain my excitement every time someone calls to sign up for the Scrapping from the Heart event.  We have four official participants and if all goes well there will be lots more, as one lady said she told “all of her friends” and she heard everyone talking about it at the local scrapbook [...]

Survivor Challenge #1 Done!

My first TallyChallenger layout for the TallyScrapper Survivor Challenge is finally complete.  I think my scrapping “mojo” is lacking right now and I’m not completely sure I like this layout, but the more I look at it the more it grows on me, maybe because I like my journaling.  Anyway, I followed the rules below [...]

Busy, Busy, Busy!

There’s a song from a Thomas the Tank Engine movie that my son watches about all the trains being busy, busy, busy doing their job on the Island of Sodor.  I feel like one of those trains!  There is so much fun going on, so many things to do, a lot of work things happening [...]

Scrapping from the Heart Update

Our article came out today in the local paper, The Spartanburg Herald Journal!

I’ve gotten many phone calls from family and friends, but also two calls already about attending the crop!  Of course, there are a couple of errors in the article, and I’m told that’s kind of par for the course with things like this, [...]

My To Do List

Realizing I might forget one of the swaps or challenges or promises or anything else I’m involved in, I figured it was time for a list.  By the time I wrote everything down it looked liked this:
1. Circle Journal – one more recipe layout coming.
2. Secret Sis for October
3. Friendship swap – starting soon.
4. Choose and [...]

TallyScrapper Design Team Tryout

Tomorrow marks the day for the start of DT tryouts at TallyScrapper.  I would so love to make the team!  I’ll admit, there are scrappers there much, much better than me, but it would be great to get the monthly kit free for a few months and be able to run with the big dogs [...]
