I am SO excited!!

I made my first design team! Karan Gerber, who owns Sketchabilities recently opened up another site called Cardabilities, and put out a design team call. I applied for it and found out last Sunday that I made it!

I am SO excited and thankful that I've been given this opportunity and I can't wait to get started on some sketches! ;) Thanks again Karan!!

My sweet family...

I made this layout today with my all-time favorite picture. It's the first that was taken of all four of us that I really loved. There's just something special about it to me. :)

Supplies: BoBunny Paper - Kitchen Spice; Tim Holtz Distress Ink - Old Paper; Making Memories Tiny Alphas - Chloe's Closet; Bazzill Flower; Basic Grey Button; Making Memories Sanding Block

I've had this paper for months now and haven't been able to make myself use it since it's the only 2 sheets I had! I absolutely love the colors in this collection so I definitely need to get some more sheets. ;) Thanks for looking!

Etsy Shop & Thank You Cards

Well, I took the plunge and opened an Etsy shop! I posted some cards a few days ago and some more today. I'm hoping that it'll eventually be a nice little business for me. ;)

I had my first sale today and it was my best friend Cathy! She asked me to email her once I had the shop set up so she could take a look and the next thing I knew, I got an email saying I'd recevied payment from her for 2 of my cards, lol. Isn't she cute? It was very sweet of her and nice that I can always remember she was my first customer. :)

I made up some little thank you cards today to send out with my sales and they turned out pretty cute...

Supplies: Bazzill Kraft Cardstock; My Mind's Eye Photo Mat Pad - Ooh La La For Her; Stampin' Up! "Thank You" Stamp; Colorbox Chalk Ink - Chestnut Roan; Martha Stewart Butterfly Punches; Recollections Pearls

Simple, quick, and the perfect size for a handwritten note inside. Hopefully, I'll be sending some out soon. ;)
