Hello ladies! Sorry for the random updates lately, life has been busy.. as everyones is, and i’ve been in a ‘rut’ and not doing much in the of scrapping really…
Firstly, Allison, I could have sworn I sent off your RAK ages ago, but found it behind my highchair with a bunch of scrap ‘crap’ that had been sitting for ages…
It is now postal, although very late.. ugh!
Anyways.. its in the mail, please forgive my tardiness!

Now I have a few things to show you that I don’t think i’ve shown you yet.. lol! If so.. just ignore.
This was a challenge to create a non-traditional Vday card.. no red, no pink! *GASP* I think I pulled it off though, and I do love the non-traditional colours!
What do you think?

Here are a couple goodie bags from ScrappyHour last week at ScrapShotz…


This Vday card is from a card kit swap on ScrapShotz…
So I was sent the materials and had to make a card using only what was provided.. lots of fun!

Ok ladies… I think that covers most of what’s been going on with me..
Check back tomorrow for a new Sketch Card challenge and some blog candy!!! About time I got back to business huh?
Have a great night!!
