I have to say I am just sooooo exicted to be a part of the first Cardabilities design team! Today is our first reveal. :) Here is the awesome sketch and my take on it...

Supplies: Basic Grey Paper Pad - Origins; Unity Stamp Set - Something Within; Colorbox Chalk Ink - Chestnut Roan; Slice; Slice Basic Shapes 1 Design Card; Fiskars Scallop Border Punch; Martha Stewart Heart Confetti Punch; Recollections Pearls

I absolutely loved making this card and I'm very happy with how it turned out. :) I hope you'll head over to the Cardabilities Blog and check out all of the other DT member's amazing creations also...thanks for looking!

Some new cards!

Sorry I've been MIA this week. My bestest friend Cathy (and sister-in law) is here visiting with my nephew and 3 nieces. It's been so awesome! The kids have all had such a great time hanging out together and Cathy and I have actually gotten to sit down and chat. This is huge for us since we live 8 hours from one another and usually chat by texting. :)

Anyway, Cathy asked me to make some thank you cards for her to give out to some people at church. I worked like a crazy woman to get them done quickly so she could take them home with her today and I think they turned out great! She seemed to really like them all too...

He is Risen!!

But the angel answered and said to the woman, "Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. He is not here; for He is risen, as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. And go quickly and tell His disciples that He is risen from the dead, and indeed He is going before you to Galilee; there you will see Him. Behold I have told you." - Matthew 28:5-7 (NKJV)

I pray that each and every one of you will have a wonderful Easter and that we all remember why we celebrate this day. God bless you!!

EDCC Done!!

Today was the last day of my scrapping group's EDCC (Every Day Card Challenge) and it's so awesome that I made it through the entire month! There were a few days that were kind of tough, either because I was short on time or creativity, but I'm glad I pushed through and got them all done. It's a wonderful feeling of accomplishment. :)

Another layout for Cathy...
