Hope everyone had a nice weekend! :0)
I have a few things to share, first is a container I made for a post on the Pursuit of CraftYness blog (check it out lots of fun stuff). It started off as a plain paper mache box that I painted, distressed, and covered with designs cut from Webster's Pages paper:
And I had 20" while supper was cooking to do this weeks 2sketches4you card and this is what I came up with, lol. Melissa Frances goodies. :0)
I also want to give a belated shout out to one of the sweetest and most talented ladies I know, Anabelle. When we met on-line 4 years ago I fell in love with her work and I'm so grateful to call her a dear friend!! I'm so excited that she was named a 2009 Memory Makers Masters, much deserved and way overdue. Go check out her amazing work!!
And I was given 2 blog award this past week, Dani gave me the "I love your blog" award back (too funny). And Beatriz (check out her lovely creations) gave me a "Brilliant weblog" award. I'm going to cheat and just list 7 blogs that I enjoy, so here goes. :0)
2sketches4you (Laura & Kazan do such fun sketches and everyone there is so nice!)
Carla (wonderfully detailed cards)
Daniela (amazing cards and adorable ds;)
Denine (amazing pages and super sweet!)
Hilary (a super sweet and talented lady I found recently)
Fiona (love how she combines paper carfts & sewing)
Kandis (she rocks the pages & cards and of course she's a sweetheart as well ;)
See, I told you it'd be long. Thanks for stopping and have a great week. DS starts kindergarten Wednesday (since he's a "W") so I'm sure I'll be a sappy mess for awhile.. wish me luck!
Sherry, these are so wonderfully amazing. Your attention to detail! WOW! I LOVE the buttons, too! I just used some today myself. HUGS!
