Check out my Slide Show!

Well, I finally put it together, this slide show is a collection of all the layouts and cards and projects I made during the Crop Till You Drop over at 4 Scrappy Sisters. It was a fun and crazy week of scrapping and stamping challenges, and still can't believe I got 20 layouts done and 12 cards, one gift bag and I started a paperbag book that just needs embellishing...wahoo, that is more than I think I have gotten done in the last year!! Most all the stamps on the cards are a muse, I so love them, how could I use anything else?? Some are better than others, as some might have been made in the wee hours of the morning when I really should have taken the time to stamp the image on white and cut it out..hind sight is 20/20, and I can always go back and fix them easily enough..but here they all are in their raw form!

Thanks for looking everyone!

AMUSE ADDICTS CHALLENGE #30

This weeks challenge was to make a card that reflected something about yourself....so mine is a card about tea, as an innkeeper, I am always thinking about tea and breakfast, pluse, I am just no good without my morning cuppa....I also combined this with a blog challenge to handwrite your saying.....and it's not my best handwriting, but it will do!
