Do you guys know how much of a Embossing Folder lover I am?

I LOVE embossing folders.

It is the easiest way to jazz up any card with very minimal effort.

Well look at these new folders coming out!

CUTTLEBUG!!!

As we wrap up the last Tuesday of the month we end with a really cool challenge from The Cuttlebug Spot. We ask that you design a card based on a advertisement that you like.

I found this AT&T ad a while ago and tore it out of the magazine because I loved it. Not knowing this challenge was going to come up. I am glad that I held onto it.

Isn't it a great ad? So fun and colorful!

I was on Facebook Wednesday and a group I follow called Paper Pretties had a giveaway...the first 3 to leave a comment got a free digi image. I was #1 to leave a comment and got to choose from ANY of their digi images. I chose this super cute image called Fan-tastic sophia.

Busy, busy, busy

Hello all!

I have been so busy. I have not crafted in a while. BUT I have been organizing my craft room, so It will work better for me. I should be done by the end of the week.

I bought a few new racks at Ikea that my husband has yet to put up.

And I fit a big comfy chair in my room so I can have guests.

I promise to take photos and post them as soon as I am done.

Tuesday + Card= Cuttlebug

Onto our second Cuttlebug Tuesday of the new year.

We ask that you create with a song as your inspiration.

This theme worked out perfectly. While I was creating this card I was listening to a little Michael Bublé. I love me some Michael Búble.

So my card is inspired by Come fly with me,

by Michael Bublé.

Yummy.
