My Announcement:

...and that brings me to my announcement.

You'll notice that I'm not going to be around quite so much over the next little while. I'll still be here, but probably working more in the background and less on the art side, because....

I am doing what I love. 

Writing.

Today, my author website and 

my author Facebook page went live.

I'm writing romantic suspense and my first book, 

Operation: Endgame, will be available Sept, 2012.

Come like me on my new sites!

National Scrapbooking Day....

....and I made a CARD to celebrate.

Seriously, I scrapbooked for over 15 years and have 25 HUGE, FULL albums.

So for today's celebration I made a card.

Supplies used:

*Unity stamp co. Jillibean Dutch Mustard Soup

*K&Co shaped paper

*Pink Paislee paper

*CTMH Crystal blue ink pad

*Martha Stewart flat back gems

*Marvy Uchida scallop circle punch

*Colorbox Navy blue ink pad

*Martha Stewart border punch

*7 gypsies dangle charm

*lace trim
