Playing Catch-Up!

Wow... so sorry for my lack of blogging these days!  I have not made a post in over 2 weeks and I haven't really been reading or commenting on others blogs either these days, which makes for a pretty sad Andrea!  I just don't know how the time has been getting away from me.  Granted I have been working 40 hour weeks for the first time in nearly 5 years, so this in itself maybe reason enough!  I dearly miss my extra leisure time for crafting that's for sure! 

But anyway... I've also let my little giveaway from the SOUS blog hop get away from me.  I'm really sorry that I haven't posted a winner on here before now, but I won't make any excuses.  Shame on me! 

Okay, without any further wait... the winner is...

Please email me your addy at amuoct21 at aol dot com, Mickey's Craft World, and I would love to send you a package which will include this...

As for other stuff, today I had the pleasure of having a project featured on the Crafts Unleashed blog for Consumer Crafts.  Ya'll remember that Mother's Day is coming up shortly next month?  Well, I created an easy but elegant card for mom that is short on time and supplies.  I used my Cricut Sophisticated cart, some scraps of Core Essentials and DCWV Linen Collection patterned paper, the Martha Stewart Garden Gate edge punch and a Fleur De Lis emboss folder from Darice!

You can check out the blog post on Crafts Unleashed for more step-out shots and instructions of how I created the card!

Now, how would you like to win $700.00 worth of wonderful Core'dinations Cardstock and other fabulous scrappy stuff?  I mean who wouldn't want that kind of prize, right? 

You can enter to win right HERE!!  Good luck!  :)

Truck Load Of Love!

Happy Valentine's Day to all the love-birds!  Hope it was a great day of celebrating with the loves of your lives and that all my friends were lavished beyond measure... and perhaps enjoyed some chocolate too!  I know I did... maybe too much, lol!

Good news... terrific scrappy news!  Something fun to share today, as I am now enjoying a new dt gig!  I've joined a team of super crafty ladies at Crafts Unleashed... the inspiring blog for Consumer Crafts' on-line store!  And today I am stoked that my first project is posted, so I would be thrilled if you could all go and check it out and let me know what you all think.  Here's my "Truck Load of Love" embellished card...

I did of course use Core'dinations cardstock on here along with my ever faithful Cricut, and you can find all the deets over on my Crafts Unleashed post!  I will also have another project feature later on in the month that I can't wait to share, so do stay tuned! ;)

Well I must go and throw together a little dinner for my LOVE, but I also wanted to show another card that I recently had in the Core'dinations booth at CHA earlier in the month!  Although, I wish I could have been at the booth WITH my card! But one day perhaps... one day,lol!

This card features the new Brights collection pack from Core!  I love that with such vibrant cardstock, no patterned paper is necessary!  And while on the topic of Core, before I forget to mention this... are YOU Hard Core?
