Woo-Hoo!!

My little hometown now has a scrapbooking store. I am soooooooo thrilled. Since we live in a rural area, we have to travel at least 35 miles to get to a town that has any major stores, so having a scrapbooking store right in town is so exciting (and probably a little dangerous as well**=)**). I discovered it by accident yesterday when I went on an errand for my dad and was so excited that I went back 3 times. The lady that owns the store is very nice. It is so fun to talk to someone that "gets it"... you know, the excitement of the whole papercrafting hobby/experience. None of my people do. They all think I am slightly insane. Well maybe I am. But it's a fun kind of insanity. So, to the 2 people that read my blog and that also get it, rejoice with me!!! =)

Thoughts of You Card

Well, I guess I am on a distressing kick. I made the card for my grandparents (see previous post) based on Kimmie's Challenge, and can't seem to stop distressing. This card was made with Basic Grey paper (I think). It was sent to me by my previous Bella Sistah. The sentiment is a $1 stamp from Michael's with a little CTMH Liquid Glass applied to the leaves and my favorite Rhonna Farrer Swirl stamp scattered across the card for good measure.

Anniversary Card

This is a card I made for my grandparent's wedding anniversary. I was inspired by Kimmie's "Dirty Challenge". I like the way it kind of gives it a vintage look. The DP is Deja Views Red Wallpaper and Red Batik. The sentiment is a Rub-on by Basic Grey and the swirl stamp is by Autumn Leaves Rhonna Farrer. I can't remember who makes the ribbon, but I rubbed my ink pad over it to make it match the papers a little better. The tabs on either side of the card are made with my Cuttlebug. I just got the Tiny Tags dies and I love how they work for this application!

Hope you have a wonderful day!
