Exploding Box - Card for friend

Hello my friends,

I made this Exploding box using American Crafts card stock, the designer paper I believe is from Recollections, iamroses and Martha Steward's Monarch Butterfly stamp. I made the stick pin. The ribbon is from Michaels. It was so much fun. I wanted to try a different look on the box, I didn't want a square, since everyone was making squares. So I attempted a hexagon style and it worked. I think the black, white and red is so elegant together, don't you?

I hope you enjoyed viewing my creations.

Thank you... keep on crafting.

Smurf Collection

I finished my smurf collection, with the help of my friend and co-worker Alondra... (thank you). Now they are all together and have invaded my desk. They are so cute, and I love my screen background on the computer.

It's too bad they didn't make Gargamel or the cat. That would have made it even more complete. Oh... C'est la vie

I have some really incredible and exciting news! I am part of the design team for Addicted to Stamps Dream Team!

I want to thank Sherri Baldy and Heather Valentin for this wonderful opportunity. I'm excited to work with the team and get to know the other wonderful women on the team.

I love to read blogs and get most of my inspiration for my work from all the talent that is evident in the craft world. I know that there are so many crafters out there that have much more talent than I, and I thought to myself, I could never compete with all the awesome out there

When Sherri sent me the email congratulating me on making the team I was thrilled! I couldn't believe it. My first design team. I'm looking forward to getting to know all other talented ladies out there and I hope that my creations inspire you.

I love to craft and I love to see the end result of what is in my heart as I create. So I thank you and I hope that you continue to follow me and support me in this new adventure. I am going to have a giveaway when I reach 100 followers and you won't want to miss that!

OMG! I've been a bad blogger girl, I haven't posted in a while, however, I have a good excuse. I've been hanging out with my crafting friends, at crops, taking card classes and actually crafting in my craft room and I've re-arranged my craft room for the bazzillionth time.

I guess I'm clutter claustrophobic, I don't like having everything out. I've redesigned my tiny itty bitty craft room to work for me. It's so clean and tidy that when I start a project I can't help but put all the supplies away. What's my secret? Well, it's a small work table. This way if you want to bring out more supplies, you have to put some away. It's been working for me and I love it.

Well here is the room. I didn't take before pictures, but believe me it was crowded.
