Hope you all are enjoying your week! Thanks so much for stopping by today!

The Greeting Farm Scrapbook Challenge #2

Today is a TGF Scrapbook Challenge. And the theme is stitching. Sooooo Easy! It would be a challenge for me not to sew on my projects. Its an addiction. Now if only I could use my sewing machine for one of the many sewing projects I have in mind :)

This is Natalia when she was a week old. She's getting so big. She is a smiley baby and loves to coo at us when we talk to her. It's pure heaven to hold her in my arms while she's sleeping and just watch her.

Simon Says Stamp theme is winged things.

To all you card making, once scrapbookers, I double dog dare you to join in this challenge!!

My last Digi Shack DT card

Today is another Digi Shack challenge. The theme is yellow poka dots. My card is CAS, no design paper. I haven't had a lot of craft time lately, so I kept this simple.

This is my last card as a DT member for The Digi Shack. My term has ended and things have gotten busier for me lately, so I'm saying goodbye to Toni and the Maui Wowies.

SFOS's challenge is hearts, so I'm sending this their way also. Also, Creative Card Crew, want to see some ribbons.

Tomorrow I have a scrapbook layout to show you. Yep, I've actually been scrapbooking lately. And I am a guest designer for EAD Designs this month and want to show you some of their super products on my layout.
