This morning...

I woke up to a cold, miserable, rainy day. So I prayed for the strength to get up, get dressed and run five miles. Then I rolled over and went back to sleep. I had prayed for strength but received wisdom instead. Anonymous

Love that quote. LOL! Here's a card I made last week for a card tag at Scrapshotz.

More Layout Tags

Thank goodness for layout tags! I haven't done any scrapping for quite a while except for when I commit to a 'tag!'

This one was fun! I took an online course at ScrapShotz, taught by the talented (and patient!) Kathy Thompson. Here's my first digi tag layout!


Then just last week, we had another tag. I started this one off by choosing a layout from the Scrapshotz gallery for inspiration. Here's my lift!


Last week's card challenge was to use Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist. I sprayed this card front with Hydrangea Glimmer Mist over a Tattered Angels Stencil, then added the sentiment, ribbon and the Kaiser pearls.

I was very pleased with how it turned out, and was honored that Cari Locken (she's on the Scrapshotz Creative Team) choose to showcase my card on the SSZ blog! Check it out here! Scrapshotz Blog

Fancy Pants Valentines

I made Valentine's Day cards for our local Card Club swap in January. I used the Fancy Pants Splendid Die Cuts and embossed the background with a Cuttlebug folder. I added some fun ribbon, bling and stickles and ta-dah - finished! They were fun and easy to do, and I had lots of variety! TFL!

I've been meaning to post this layout for quite some time. You know how that goes...

Anyway, here it is...

And finally, here's the second one - a digi layout! I'm still learning about this digi stuff!

Another Layout Tag?

It seems the only time I've been making time to create pages these days is when I sign up for 'tag.' This time I used the Crate Paper "Prudence" line. Love it!

My grandson already loves his hockey. His favorite team is the Oilers, of course, and he wants me to play with him, all the time. I really should because it won't be long and he won't want to play hockey with Grandma!!!

TFL!
