Back to Crafting Again!

Hello Everyone!

Well, you don't realize how much time gets away from you--our last post was so long ago! With school, holidays, and kids' activities, the months just seem to fly by. So I've been spending some time cleaning up the blog and crafting so we could start posting again. My first post is what I call my "blue series;" my stampin' up demo gave me a bag of scraps at stamp class in May. I started playing around, and made one card. Then it became a challenge to see how many cards I could make out of a small stack of scraps, and the cards below are the result! I hope you enjoy them!
