**ANYTHING GOES** New Challenge with The Creative Crafters!!

Happy middle-of-the-month!  It's the fifteenth and that means it's time for a new challenge at Creative Crafters!  As always our challenge is Anything Goes!!!  I was going through my stash and found this stamp uninked and I thought, well that has to change!!  I'm not quite sure about the face on the girl though, I may actually cut the features off and make it more solid like Angie Blom's work.

Together Forever - 600th Blog Post!

This is such a milestone to hit, and when I thought about what I wanted to draw inspiration from, I was watching Friends reruns and every commercial break, they showed the Walmart cell phone commercial with Rick Astley.  Somehow, "Together Forever" was my theme.  Looking at my new Prima doll stamps, it was easy to come up with an awesome idea.

Featured On The Craft Star

I was online shopping (Christmas gift cards burning a hole in my pocket!!) today and I went to The Craft Star to see what new might catch my eye and featured on the front page was a collection, Music, The Other Passion In My Life.  I was thrilled to see one of my cards, Just A Note, featured as the first item!

I'll be updating the shop a lot over the next week so be sure you check it out and see what's new.  Laters!!

Music Monday

So I've been trying to FINISH projects.  I really struggle with that, but I'm proud of myself for finishing this card tonight.

I'm entering this in Paper Take Weekly's The Sound of Music Challenge.  Everything is about music, for me. I'm also entering it in The Paper Shelter Challenge 112 - Anything Goes, One Stop Craft Challenge - Anything Goes, Crafty Creations Challenges - Keep It Simple.

I'm off to catch up on The Voice (GO TEAM USHER!!!) and work on some other cards.  Gotta unclutter my work desk!!  Laters!
