Finally Jumping on the Band Wagon

I am usually one of the last to get the hottest new fad. This goes for clothes, shoes and yes, crafting. I tend to think that if it's around long enough it's worth the money. I hate to waste money! :)

So, I finally sucked it up and bought my first set of Peachy Keen Stamps! I love them! They arrived in the mail today and I had to use them! (You'll see that card tomorrow.) I'll definitely be getting more sets, with the critter set next probably.

Aren't they adorable???

Clearing the Clutter Challenge #6

Today's the first Friday of the month - which means the Clearing the Clutter Challenge! This was a small thing that left my desk but it's been sitting there since November. Yes, November!!

We repainted our laundry room (read: a majority of the house actually) and the front of the shelf really bugged me. So I decided to get some ribbon and glue it to the front.

*Please don't look at the clutter. This house has NO storage. So I stash stuff wherever I can!*

This is how it turned out.

I love it! And all it took was some super glue and ribbon.

Don't forget to head over to Lorie's blog and see what she did!

1st Layout in a LONG time!

My goal this year was to catch up on my scrapbooking. I haven't scrapbooked in 20 months! AHH! So I found this sketch over at The Scrappiest. It worked perfectly with the next set of pictures that needed to be scrapped.

Love Bug Cards

I've had these done for a couple weeks now but I wanted to wait until Valentine's Day was a little closer to unveil them. :) I originally made these for my MOMs group Bunco night as one of the prizes. I loved them so much that I made more for Carver to mail to his friends. :) I love the way they turned out!!!

This also happened to work for Momo's Tuesday Challenge and So Saturday Challenge #2.
Yay me!

The new addition to my craft family!

I debated on getting this for a long time. I knew it would save time but I had heard a rumor that it didn't work very well with cardstock - and I use cardstock a lot.

Well I don't know what that person was thing! It's amazing! I even tried to pull up the paper afterward and it was so sticky that it ripped the paper!

I don't know why I didn't buy this baby sooner!!!
