My new venture

I'm always looking for new opportunities to make some extra spending money. For years I've been selling craft supplies, layouts, books and other items on Ebay.

Then for the last year I've also been selling cards, tags, journaling boxes, albums and craft supplies on Etsy.

Plus I sell craft supplies and cards to co-workers and friends as well as at the biannual Crop n Shops at Manhattan Scrapbookers

My newest venture though is as a Memory Works consultant. I love the variety of supplies plus I don't personally know a single consultant so it seemed like a great company to get involved with. To check out the catalog and/or place an order go to

24 Sketch Challenge Gone Bad

Last weekend Scrappin n Chattin on yahoo there was a 24 hour sketch challenge. Thanks to computer issues I never got to enter my entry but I did manage to complete it at least.


This is made with the Little Yellow Bicycle Generation Z that I won in the Scrappin n Chattin jackpot a couple months ago.

The sketch is here

Good news is I also found out this layout also qualifies for The Paper Variety weekly challenge. Wish me luck!

I just love this card

A friend recently hired me to making him a card and he had only two requests.... her name be included and it say "Happy Birthday". I spent an hour or so playing with different sketches and here's the final result.



The cardstock is DCWV, the balloons are cut from Bazzill, the stamp is studio G, the ink is black Stazon, the letters are Making Memories, and the patterned paper is DCWV Photo Real. The balloons were cut with the George Cricut cartridge.

Surprisingly it's a perfect match for this week's PartyTime Tuesday and PinkStamper challenges.

Congratulations to Christina and Jaime

Congratulations on your new arrival. He's beautiful.
