Glitter

I have decided that I just really love glitter. I have not used it much in the past but in the last week or so I have used it on two cards that I made and one card that I received utilized glitter and I love the way they look. Now, I've used purchased embellishments and paper that was glittery but my actual "glittering" has been limited.  However, I am not so enamored of the mess that goes along with glitter. I try to contain the mess by using a special tray but somehow, I still end up with glitter on my desk, my hands, my clothes, and in my hair. In spite of the mess, I plan on using glitter in more of my projects. I foresee glittery carpet in the craft closet!

cybercrops

I belong to an online group that gets together a couple of times a month (online) to scrap. This group is an offshoot of another group called Scrap From Your Stash. The SFYS group has helped me save money in that I feel like I'm cheating if I purchase something when I have something in my stash that could have worked just as well. All members of the cyber-cropping group are also members of the SFYS group. These folks are very talented and creative and being associated with them has  encouraged me to create more scrapbook pages and cards in the 2 months that I have been a member than I have ever done in any 2 month period in the past. I also find the challenges they suggest to be very inspiring.  I am grateful to be a part of those groups. I will be posting here the pages that I have completed during the cyber-crops as well as other projects I have completed.

My first swap!

This is a card I created for my first swap. We were required to use purple and green in our creations. I received an absolutely beautiful card in this swap from Diana Stewart.
