Hello!I am in Iowa on a mini vacation for five days! Yahoo!!!! Having a blast. My mom and some friends of mine and I left yesterday and drove all day to have some fun ata Scrapbooking Retreat. Although...I must say... I am not getting much scrapbooking done because I have been STAMPING all evening and day today. lol

MOM ALERT! I was just looking around and noticed that I have a project featured on this website and thought it looked so cool for people with children that want to do crafts with them. TIP JUNKIE - is loaded with lots of ideas for Thanksgiving and I am so honored to find one of my projects on there! Check it out!!!

Tomorrow, is Bloggers Challenge day and I had so much fun stamping today - so come back tomorrow to see MORE creations!!! This project uses the Splitcoast Stampers Holiday Tutorial Blitz .

Here are a few more details:

Ohhh, one more thing...I meant to post yesterday but ran out of time - On my weight loss...this week I had no loss, but feel leaner, so I believe I lost some inches. I am okay with that due to losing 20.5 pounds already in the past 4 weeks. I figure my body may need to adjust a bit. I am still 100% on program and FEEL GREAT!!!!

Thank you for stopping by!!! Have a great day!

CRINKLE - BLOGGERS CHALLENGE

Hi! Yes, I am late with todays post, but I felt I should be responsible and balance my checkbook and pay bills. I know...I know.... silly of me especially when I could do something more fun like STAMPING! But now that icky job is done and I can PLAY (between loads of laundry - more fun!)

Today is Bloggers Challenge Day and the challenge for this week is to make a Halloween card. I personally don't celebrate Halloween - but LOVE fall, so I hope it is okay that I took a slightly different twist and made a pumpkin patch card with the cute little build-a-bear die from SU.

I used the CRINKLE technique from TECHNIQUE JUNKIES October Newsletter for the background and grabbed a few sets that were collecting dust (Autumn Harvest, Circle of Friends and Carved and Candlelit) to stamp with today...

In addition to that, this week's Belli Challenge was to make a card using Hemp or Raffia, so I used some linen thread to add to the top for that as well.

Here are just a few more details...
Accessories: Stickles, felt, Buile a bear die, Big Shot, red felt, sponge....

Thanks for stopping by! To see more Bloggers Challenge projects, click on the side bar to view their projects. Have a great day!
