< -------- This is just plain cRaZy to me!
But you have NO IDEA how excited I am! I threw my hat in the ring for the "Hybrid scrapping" call and never imagined in a million years I would get the DT Invite! I look forward to learning soooo many new things! I refuse to ever put away my scissors, paper, and glue.... but I am excited to combine the two a bit! Fun stuff! Come play with us over at For the Luv of Art!
I got a huge happy scrappy package in the mail from Paper Crafts Magazine for making it into the Top 5 of Gallery Idol! Holey Schmoley! So many amazing new goodies! I also received a copy of this awesome special issue called Go to Sketches! But since I already have one I thought it would be fun to give it away! And a few other scrappy goodies! Just leave a comment and I will pick a winner sometime on Friday the 30th! I love my copy and refer to it alot when I’m scrapping!
Renee and I scrapped this weekend and I got this layout created. This is my sweet, young, beautiful cousin Heather who I used to babysit back in the day! She sent this photo in her graduation announcement and I just loved it with this paper! Everything just comes together when you have an awesome photo to play with! It was fun creating something for me since I’ve been working on CHA projects forever! 
Okay…. gotta get some laundry caught up today but I wanted to share one last thing before I scoot! I haven’t mentioned my other blog in quite a while so I wanted to mention it for those who might find it useful. It’s called PaperCakes and Icing. I create handouts to go along with the Young Women’s lessons that we teach in our church. This is the latest one and the Word Doc and PDF file you are sent after completing the payment process includes the pattern to create it. It also includes a print-ready version so you can just print them on white cardstock, cut them out, and give them to your girls. The fun thing about my handouts is that a lot of them are super versatile and can be used for lots of different projects that aren’t even religion based. And they are only $2.50 each! Anyhoooo….. just wanted to share!
Hope everyone has a great week! Toodles! ♥

This summer you can choose Christian louboutin wedges. A pair of beautiful cheap Christian Louboutin wedges can keep you feeling effortlessly fabulous every day this summer. These can be matched with casual jeans, but these can also be dressed up with a great yellow dress.
