I feel like I am wilting, it is so humid and icky! I've had a bad headache all day and this heat just isn't helping, argh!! Where is my favorite time of the year already? I'm ready for October, lol!
So I know I haven't blogged again in over a week, and my buddy Ellen had to give me the nudge to let me know. What can I say, this summer heat really slows me down, and also since I've been working at the preschool these past months, I require more naps too. I really do, and I did just that today! I came home and settled down on the couch for a snooze for a good two hours :)
Did you happen to visit the Core'dinations blog or facebook page recently? Well, if you haven't you really should because there is always a lot of inspiring work being posted that you really don't want to miss out on. Fun challenges and giveaways happening too... like this one...
It’s June 1st. Let’s kick of this month with a fun CHALLENGE!
What do you think?
We just loved this technique that Melissa Oliveira shared with us yesterday on the blog that we wanted to extend the invitation to try it to YOU!
Journaling is such an important part of a scrapbookers journey to preserve memories and tell stories.
SO for this challenge….we want to see your Journaling. It doesn’t have to be this specific technique…you can journal any way you choose.
But for this challenge there are a few things you must do:
1) JOURNAL
2.) Use Core’dinations Cardstock (it must be a visible component of the layout).
3.) Link your project to THIS blog post or post it on our Facebook page. Make sure you “like” us, too!
4.) Show off a cool Core technique and we will throw in an additional chance to win!
The rest is up to you!
And how could I forget??? Of Course a random Winner will win some CORE’DINATIONS CARDSTOCK!
Some fun news! This past weekend I was pleasantly surprised to open my email inbox and have it full of publication requests. I got a total of 11 projects requested... 7 things for the Cricut Holidays Idea Book, 2 for Cricut Nov. 2011, 1 card for CARDS Nov. 2011 and my first project with Simply Handmade!
And before I leave ya, I'll share with you a
birthday card that I submited for publication which didn't get selected. I love this one, and I created it for a little girls birthday...
Of course I used my Cricut! Here I used the Straight From the Nest cart (again, one of my faves) to cut the cupcake border and party hat.
The paper collection is Cosmo Cricket's Togetherness.
And here's another card I made not too long ago also with the Togetherness collection...
I just love the lil' bead accents from Recollections that I added as rain droplets coming from the clouds!
Thanks for checking in with me, and please don't forget about the challenge over at Core'dinations... you still have until the 15th to get yours submitted! Have a great weekend!
