 Select the colors you like and run the chalk along the embossed paper:

Musical Thank you!

I was in search of some old sheet music and was surprised when my Dad handed me a large envelope full of it! (He loves Ebay!)

So of course I needed to make him a Thank you card using the sheet music! It was a little bit harder to work with because it is thin, but I am happy with the end result.

Thank you from the Wild Card Cricut Cartridge

Time for Spring Cleaning!

 ** Comment closed at 19**


When Cori contacted me and asked me if I would be interested in joining in on her Spring cleaning craft series, I knew it was the perfect opportunity for me to clean house!

Welcome to my Craft room!

I have to admit I am a messy scrapper! I have been paper crafting since 2009 and consider it a HUGE part of my life! I enjoy every second that I spend with paper! My Husband built me a great space to craft (you can see the process HERE and I  filled it with paper, tools and embellishments and I was quickly running out of space!  

I often do many quick clean ups but I knew I needed to completely organize everything and the sorting process began!

Now I will give you a sneak peak of my room... but you will have to hop on over to Created by Cori's to see all of my space and a fun video!

** Sneak Peak**

 Sorting of all supplies!

I sorted ALL my supplies! Buttons with buttons, ribbon with ribbon etc. I used boxes during the sort to help it go faster.

Here is a video showing my completed space!

Of course since I cleaned my space, I have some goodies to share! Here are the rules:

1. You must be a follower of my Blog and leave a comment here!
