First Chalked Clouds Background

I have seen a couple of ladies make the most beautiful cloud backgrounds using just blue chalk & a simple cut-out cloud shape and I've wanted to try it myself but just never have.  I love this little digi by Chrissy Armstrong (Sundays with Chrissy) and she seemed like the perfect image to try the clouds on, and so I did. 

I liked it enough that I really want to try it on a bigger scale. 

Ah, snowflakes....I love them year round, but right now they look more heavenly than ever, and as for this card, I hope one of our brave soldiers will pick it to send home to his/her own little angel.

And now on to other news......

I AM SO EXCITED, 19 days and counting till CKC in Charlotte.  This will be my first ever scrapbooking/papercrafting event of any kind and I can't wait!!!!  I already know of one blogging buddy that's going to be there (come to find out we are actually taking a class together, wooo hooo. >Hey "other" Tami- a.k.a. Scrappin' Rabbit.)  I only know of about 4 or 5 bloggers that live within a 2-3 hr. drive from me and if you are one of them and if you will be in Charlotte please let me know.  I would really love to meet as many of my blogging buddies as I can. 

Have a great week everybody!!!

Wishing you sunshine & smiles, love and laughter.

Crissy Armstrong is in the house!

Well at least her stamps are in my house right now.   I have just recently discovered Crissy Armstrong, her blog is Sundays with Crissy, and I can't begin to tell you how much I LOVE her digis.   Everyone has a look or a style that they gravitate towards & Crissy's work does that for me.  These cards are made with a few of the first digis I ordered from her, I've still got a couple more to color and then it will be back for more!!!
This one's not a card yet, I've got to try & salvage it thanks to a boo-boo with those darn red markers that I dislike so much.

I am really enjoying learning to color with Copics even if it is thru trial & error (lots of error!) and Crissy's stamps are not only super cute but they're "user friendly" for someone like me.   For the month of July she is having a DT call.  Check it out by clicking on the link below.

There will be a lot of Crissy's cuteness in my next few OWH boxes for sure.

 as always......Wishing you Sunshine & Smiles,

Love & Laughter
