Its about time

I've been on hiatus far too long in regards to my papercrafting endeavors and am anxious to get back at it....I've done a little cardmaking and a few layouts over the past year but not much.......EXCEPT for my smashbooking which is a fun journalling/diary/scrapbooking thing that is fairly popular at the moment.  It has been great because its simple and quick and you can use up scraps of this n that... I add pictures of course and ticket stubs/receipts all those fun things you collect and its been fun doing this with Lindsey.  

So I signed up to sell CTMH again and am thinking with online ordering this might be more worthwhile....time will tell....and I plan to use the products in my monthly card classes.  

Challenges.....

life's all about challenges, some good some not so good but i personally LOVE scrap related challenges because they give me a starting point and push me to maybe try something I wouldn't normally or just get me going after a lul in mojo so here are a couple layouts I created for Scrapshotz challenges, Summer Sketchathon and in your Community.

Wrap it Up (ATU35)

managed to fit in some scrapping and cardmaking between mini "staycations" , work and the rainy days we've had sure make it easy to stay inside and create!!

here is my entry for challenge ATU35 at All Things Unity!!  found this great colorful jute at the $ store and had to pick up a couple colors!!
