Sweet Life

Today's card is a card I created for The Outlawz  CAS challenge. I had to incorporate strawberries while keeping the card Clean and Simple. Once I saw the challenge I knew I had some paper in my stash with strawberries on it. I do not have any stamps with fruit (just added that to my things I need list) I wasn't sure what I was going to do with the paper but I worked it out. I created 2 cards out of it. I'm trying to cut down on having a ton of scraps in my scrap draw. I liked how my cards turned out. So, take a look and tell me what you think.

2nd Post of the Day

I am trying to  make up for lost time. It feels good to be in my room again, I was determined to spend majority of my day in my room. I did some straightening up in here plus entered some challenges, worked on some projects that were already in progress. I'm also trying to keep up with the Olympics.... I love watching the Summer Olympics. My favorite are the women Gymnast, then Volleyball. On to my 2nd project of the day... This was just a simple card I made using my scraps... I had to separate my scraps into color so that I can create something with them... I still try to use my scraps before starting on a new piece of paper. It's hard to do when you are entering challenges especially the color challenges.... Okay with that said here is my card. Have a wonderful week!!

It's been way tooooooo LONG,  

Hello all, I could not go another day without posting something to share, not mentioning that I am on vacation. I spent my birthday day and vaction at National Harbor.... It is very pretty here but we are going home today and believe me I will be in my craft room doing some crafting. Before I go home I will be stopping at Michaels to use my 50% off coupon (expires today) plus get some more of the jetmax cubes that are now 50% off too (that ends today as well) I would like to briefly share why I haven't posted any projects over a month. As you all know if you been keeping up with my blogs in the past, I work a full time job and have a small business on the side (I PRAY that one day it will become my PRIMARY JOB) and have family that wants a lot of my attention. So my crafting time is limited. I returned back to work after a minor surgery that had me out of work for 2 months and 10 days and had an event to do so that set me back from my crafting. The event is over but the job is still here so I will still have to manange my time properly so that I can get some crafting in. I go back to work from vacation in August so I should be able to do a little more... Well that is why I haven't been posting... On to my project, this project was made for my last event it:
