Ready, Set... Create!

I was published in the June/July issue of Ready Set Create!, an scrapbooking and card making Ezine.

I have 5 free downloads of the magazine to GIVE AWAY so I thought I'd offer it up to all my readers! Normally, the magazine is only accessible through a paid subscription but for getting my work published in the Ezine, I got 5 free downloads.

Leave a comment below (at least your first name and an EMAIL address please) and I will send the FIRST FIVE PEOPLE who leave a comment a link to the download the magazine.

Congrats to....

My Scrappy Dream and A Blog Candy Winner!

I sure hope you all had a great and creative filled weekend this past couple of days. I know I did! I was hopping all over cyber space.

Don't forget to check out the CCAS Blog or the ISA, we're still scrapping until tonight.

I was up late the last two nights flipping from YouTube scrappy video to scrappy video. I've been watching a lot of stamping and card making videos using lots of wood mounted stamps. And I think I over did it! You see I "dream scrapped" last night.... yup..... am I the only one to do this????

The basis of my dream was that you had to create a stamped card to get in the door of this amusement park. My DH and DS were with me and for some reason got in the door without incident. Me, on the other hand, the card hostess was giving me lots more things to add to my card, more than anyone else, before I could enter the amusement park! She kept making me add stamped polka dots to my card, one by one and I was getting frustrated that I couldn't get it done. I could see my family on the other side of the glass having fun without me. I finally stood up and told her, "Wood mounted stamps suck and this is why I use clear acrylic stamps! You can SEE what you're doing!!"

Okay..... seriously!!! No more YouTube at 2 in the morning for me! WEIRD DREAM!!! LOL!!!!

And now..... the news you have all been waiting for...... my NSD blog candy winner.......

Yup......

The winner is.......


That means.... the lucky winner is REDMOM..... Lisa!!!! Congrats Lisa!!!

I won't be able to send your goodies right away, they have to be shipped here first! But I will make it worth your while! I promise!!!

Happy, Happy Day!

Happy International Scrapbooking Day everyone!

Don't forget about my blog candy post below!

Have a great weekend!!!
