*****SPRING*****

Happy Spring Everyone!!!

Can you believe that it's FINALLY here?!  I am not sure that I can really believe it...but I AM wearing shorts and the windows are open.  So great this weather is.  The beauty of it is amazing while watching all the new flowers and trees blossom and grow!  Ahhhh just love it!

I have a card to share with you.  It is for a friend of mine who I know from online and she recently became a first time grandma!  So I thought a card was in order,  of course!

{Don't worry about the glitter on top ~ I have since fixed this~}

Here is a closer view:

I sure hope that you all find something to do outside today {weather permitting} to celebrate the first day of Spring! As always, thank you so much for stopping by and have a FANTASTIC DAY!!!

ONE MORE THING...

Sassy Lil' Sketches will be having another CARD REVEAL SKETCH

                                                                SEE YOU THERE!

IT'S TIME FOR ANOTHER Sassy Lil' Sketches CARD REVEAL!!!

This month's sponsor is Nikki Sivils and just wait til you see her new line of paper!!!  Nikki was generous to give all of us on the DT some of her newest line and I want to give a HUGE

So with no further ado', here is first the sketch from Sassy Lil' Sketches:

And then here is my take on this particular sketch using Nikki Sivils newest line called "BEATRICE":

Everything I used to create this card was a Nikki Sivils product excepty the green, white, and pink ribbon, and the small square piece of pink card stock, as well as the gold metal star.  Other than that it was all Nikki's paper line BEATRICE.  I used my Cricut Expression to cut out the polka-dotted paper as well as used Cricut markers to outline it prior to cutting it.

I sure hope that you join in on our contest.  The winner will receive something from the
Nikki Sivils line and I know you would love to have that now wouldn't you?

Please check out the other Design Teams take on this sketch and also see more of the newest like of paper from Nikki Sivils.  Please add your own take on this sketch before April 5th to be eligible to win!  Good Luck to you all!

Getting Ready to Read a New Book! I've Also Started a Local Craft Club Too!

The newest book I am getting ready to read is

I recently joined a book discussion club and this is the book that has been chosen.  We will not meet until April 12th to discuss it.  I looked in the library and on the Paperbackswap.com that I use a lot and there is such a huge demand for this book that it MUST be good.  No exaggeration but I am #1046 I think that was the number, but I am over a 1000 people in line just for one of the copies of this book on the paperbackswap site.  So I got lucky and found a FREE audio ebook and just downloaded it. 

I will start to listen to it most likely this coming Monday when I will be able to concentrate and focus on it.  It really seems to be quite and interesting book!

I also have some other news to share with you.  Now I am not sure how many people who follow my blog that live close to or in Cincinnati, Ohio, but I wanted to let those of you who do know this...

I started a new craft group entitled The East Side Women's Craft Group . Now just because it says East Side, does not at all mean that anyone from ANYWHERE close can't come and be a part of this new group!

Well everyone that is all I have for now!  Thank you for stopping by and be sure to check back in tomorrow because Sassy Lil' Sketches is having another reveal and I really think you will like it!

It's time for another Sassy Lil' Sketches REVEAL!!!

Good morning everyone!  I hope you all had a relaxing weekend.  I was able to spend my weekend with my 2 kiddos.  Which that is always a fabulous for me!

Valentine's Day Card for my Eric and an IMPORTANT REMINDER!!!

Hello everyone!

I wanted to share with you a card that I created for my baby Eric for Valentine's Day.

This card did not take very long after I had the pieces together for it that is, lol.  It took 6 different Cricut cartridges for it.  I am going to be taking a class on the Cricut Expression starting soon and I know how to use it for the most part, but since it still is a wee bit new to me I want to learn some of the basic things

that I can use everyday so that I won't have to waist paper and/or time on things like Real Size and just making things that I want the correct size the FIRST time around.  So I had to play a wee bit with this card

to make sure all would fit correctly and it all did!  I think it looks great!

So what do you think?  Did you create any cards for the people in your lives?

REMINDER:

Tomorrow, February 14th Sassy Lil' Sketches will have a card reveal and I will be showing you all my take on the sketch with some photos of the card I created for it!!!

So Pretty Please stop by tomorrow for the reveal! You'll be glad you did.

And as always; Thank you for stopping by.  Take care and have a great night!
