New Challenge Blog

I'm so excited (and a little bit nervous) that I'm on my very first design team! The pressure is really on now!  : ) My upline, Brenda Rose, has been working really hard at developing a design team blog and it looks fabulous! This blog will feature artwork using the Cricut cartridges from Close To My Heart.  This will be a great way for everyone to see all the different and creative ways that the cartridges can be used. We are having a new follower contest so check it out here!!! I hope you love what you see on this new challenge blog. 

More Surf's Up

Here is another layout using  Workshop On The Go® Surf's Up Scrapbooking Kit .  I love that you can create totally different look using the same paper pack.  



Surf's Up!

Yesterday, in Southern Maryland, we had a very strange weather day! It was supposed to snow like the dickens but instead we got lots of rain and wind. The public school system closed and so did the college where I'm employed.  Oh, what to do, what to do?  I really didn't have to think too hard about that question!  I got in my craft room and worked on some pages I've been dying to do!  I wanted to use Workshop On The Go® Surf's Up Scrapbooking Kit with photos of my daughter's beautiful family in the Outer Banks from a couple of years ago.  I think it came out great! The beautiful hues of color from the beach photos fit so well with Surf's Up.

A Blog Hop! I'm participating in my very first Blog Hop February 15th with some of my other Rose Blossom Sisters! Here is the Blog Badge Designed by Brenda Rose, our team leader!

Secret Santa

Being part of The Rose Blossoms Team is so wonderful! One of the fun things we did this Christmas was to have a Secret Santa gift exchange with our CTMH sisters on the Rose Blossoms team.  We were to provide Brenda with our favorite CTMH paper pack, favorite CTMH cardstock color and favorite chocolate. She picked out who we were to provide our secret santa gift for at $10. I made my secret sister a cardbox. It was fun to make and I can't wait to make more to give out as gifts!
