Big Changes

Hi Everyone! There have been some big changes in my crafting hobby these past few weeks. First, I decided to step down from the Penny Black design team. It was a wonderful opportunity, an amazing team and a generous company but I needed some change. Second, I'm making a big effort to scrapbook. I've completed two layouts so far this year which is already double what I did last year! Woohoo! Finally, I decided I needed to put some effort in to being published. I'm happy to report that my first submission was successful! I submitted three cards and one was picked up for a Paper Crafts special issue coming out in July! Change can be hard and uncertain but it also can be rewarding!

How about a card? This is one of my submissions that wasn't accepted.


I adore THIS Papertrey Ink set my Heather. I've also been VERY in to hearts lately. Maybe its Valentine's Day or maybe I just love them. They have a way of cheering up a card quickly. :) The sentiment is from THIS set. The font is SO cute.


Hope you have a great day!

What an adorable card. I am in love with that set too. I can't seem to put it down. You will never regret the decision to make more time for scrapbooking. Your life should be documented. I wish it had been popular when my kids were small. Enjoy the journey and I hope you still show us cards as I love your style.
