Happy Friday!

So I actually got out of the house today.

(I'm the type that can spend days at home and never get bored!)

I went and visited with Michi at Scrapbooker's Emporium

in Texarkana and will be teaching my very first mini album class

there in August :)  I can't wait!  

Then I went to Wal-Mart...I hadn't been in close to two months; seriously.

I came across two friends who were shopping.  They both said the same

thing "I'm just trying to get my stuff and get outta here!"  I guess a lot of us share that

same disdain for stepping through the doors of Wal Mart LOL

But it's done.  Thank the Lord, it's done. 

Now on to scrappy stuff!

I had the best intentions of blogging my other projects that were 

featured here and there yesterday (and Wednesday!), but I just didn't get around to it.  

So, here we go...

I HEART IPPITY

I have been in love with this stamp ever since I laid eyes on it

and can't believe that I'm just now getting around to using it:

BE BRAVE...BRANCH OUT

IPK-153

I used my watercolor pencils and Zig markers on this one.

And the best part?  I dug waaay back into my paper collection and brought out

some old Basic Grey...I love to use up the old stuff!

MY SCRAPBOOK NOOK

For this Wednesday's CARDS Challenge, I went with a sketch.

Once again, I am a self-proclaimed pretty-pitiful-sketch-artist...but hey, I try hehe!

I've really enjoyed working with the Echo Park This & That Collection

this month...both the masculine and feminine sets are drool-worthy.

I wanted to carry the 'cloud' motif up towards the top of the card, so I hand-cut 

these two clouds from cardstock and then embossed.

I made this one for my son, who'll be graduating two weeks from today :)

Both cards were quick and reinforced my love of using sketches!

A hint for June's Nook Kit?  It has to do with SIMPLE and FRESH...hmmmm?

VINTAGE STREET MARKET

I've said it before and I'll say it again...I.love.these.BINGO.cards

You can get a huge collection pack of 'em directly from VSM!

This collage art is layered with lots of vintage goodness.

I have several photos and details up on the blog.

And this is the card that I made for my mom for Mother's Day...she loved it :)

Most every single thing on both projects came from Vintage Street Market!

I'll upload the newest mini album that I made tomorrow.

Off to grab a bite to eat and relax.

Enjoy your weekend!
