What am I thankful for?

 I am thankful for my family and my friends,

I am thankful for my love of paper crafts,

I am thankful for my you reading this post right now.

I love meeting new people and I have met some really wonderful, 

amazing and extremely talented people here in blogland, YouTube and 

on the various ning sites.  

Through our love of crafting, we have bonded, enabled, shared 

ideas...and scraplifted a few.  LOL

But overall, I wouldn't trade this experience for anything in the world.

So from the bottom of my heart, thank you all.

Swappers Choice Tag Swap

Hi Everyone,

Here are some Halloween Tags that I did for a swap over at ScrapinVintage.  These tags turned out sooo incredibly cute.  I used the Coffin Treat Box and the Halloween and Fall Basic Shapes file from The Cutting Cafe.  Please let me know what you think and thanks for stopping by.

Pics and video below.

Cigar Box for swap

Hi Everyone,

I wanted to share with you all my first cigar box.  I joined a swap over at ScrapinVintage and my partner was Crystal, the owner of the ning site.  I had sooooooo much fun with this swap.  I really LOVE how this cigar box turned out.

So for the swap, we had to decorate the cigar box, inside and out and also include at least 6 trims.  I add some extra goodies for Crystal and she also added extra goodies for me.  I'm going to list the video of my box to Crystal, the video of me opening Crystal's box to me, and also Crystal's video of her opening my box to her.  I hope you enjoy the videos as well as what I made for Crystal and the items she made for me.  Thanks for watching!

Grunge Postcards - Scrapinvintage

Hi Everyone!

I wanted to share with you all some postcards that I made for a swap over at Scrapinvintage.  This is a ning site and it is free to join.  Lots of great swaps and everyone is super creative and friendly. 

So for the postcard swap, we had to use the word "time" and the theme was grunge.  I must admit, I have never done grunge before and have run the other direction as it wasn't in my comfort zone.  This was definitely a challenge for me and I love the results.  I think the postcards turned out super cute!!  I will definitely try grunge again as I've gotten a couple of pointers.

I used Riley from The Greeting Farm and Prima's Moulin Rouge paper stack.  Pics and video are below.  Let me know what you think and thanks for watching!
