About Me

My photo
I would classify myself as an artist. It took me a while to finally accept that monicker, but that's what I am; AN ARTIST!!! I have a wonderful hubs that supports my "talents" in most all avenues, except maybe when the credit card bill comes in the mail...LOL And I have 4 great kids and 5 beautiful grandchildren that I love to pieces. Come on by and sit a spell and "STAMP 'TIL YA CRAMP!!! & "CROP 'TIL YA DROP!!!"

When it RAINS....

...it POURS!!!!!... But sometimes isnt it a welcoming rain.... Well, let me just tell you its been great for me since last friday. Here's a little synopsis of what has been going on. First off, I designed a logo for our girls softball team as seen below. Then we found out that one of the girls has an older brother that airbrushes...(what luck!!) We bought our own shirts and paid him to airbrush the logo's... The finished example is Jeff's shirt...I have to wear a coach's jersey, but thats Ok, I'm gonna get all the girls to sign my shirt when we have our banquet. Turned out pretty cute!!!

After that I was contacted by Stampo from Viva Las Vegastamps that I had won the April sketch challenge....$100 store gift certificate....WOOHOO!!! (spent it already...bwahahahahaha)

Then, I was contacted that I had won $25 gift certificate from Forbes Farm Gifts from leaving a comment on her blog. (I chose a copper and hematite bracelet)

Then, today I was contacted by Hambo Stamps that I won (5 free digi's) from the card challenge using the free digi.... (been there and done that)
My head is still spinning!!!!!!
Ok, now to the card.... It is for the sketch challenge/Scrapling on SheetLoad of Cards blog. Scrapling, well that was a new one on me too. Well, they (SLC) can explain it better than I can... so jump on over there to see the deets and enter the challenge too. My card is using Apricot appeal cs from SU, several dsp's, felt ribbon, and the infamous glitter dots. Oh, and the image is one of the freebies from Hambo Stamps, and I colored it using my color pencil tech. I added a little sumpin' sumpin' (glitter) to the middle umbrella. Well, that pretty much wraps things up for me today....don't forget the blog candy is until sunday night, it keeps getting betterand better 'cause I keep adding stuff to it...bwahahahahaha. Until later, dewdrops......Gotta split.....TFL
