This weeks challenge for the Thank you Tim and Linda for challenging us to bring out and use all out tools!
I have to admit that I have been neglecting them but this made me bring them out and play. And the fun that I had was infectious! I definitely will be using them more often. I love that the more layers I used the more depth the color would get. I used a combination of Butterscotch, Cranberry and Espresso for the base of my journal covers.
I went to college and graduated with honors, majoring in Fashion Design and Fashion Merchandising. That was my passion and where my love for the arts started. I started really getting into paper crafts after my botched foot surgery 4 years ago that had me immobile for a few years. Unable to sew but still wanting a creative release I began scrapping daily. And here I am today...addicted. LOL

Love your composition book, the cover is great!
cute cards!
I love the pennant card especially.
I think we ought to take pictures of our "disaster rooms or areas" and post them. I know if I posted mine, it would make lots of other people feel better that theirs don't look "that bad". Hmmm. That gives me some ideas....
