Best Mom

It is Saturday, folks, 

and Welcome!!

How was your week??

It was an emotional week for me of sorts!

My hubby's birthday was yesterday (Friday)

and on that date, 22nd, I remember the loss of

on of my favorite person s in the world. 

My Grandpa.

I remember that day, and it fills me with sadness.

but I steer my mind towards the good times, 

because that is what should be done.

And that did not help matters

knowing that we lost one of our

beloved musical geniuses, Prince, 

the Thursday before.

That was a shock!

I still can't get over it.

You never know, friends, you never know.

Anyways.

Onwards.

A new challenge is happening on

the Hiding In My Craft Room blog--

HIMCR #248 - Any Holiday! 

And this week's sponsor is:

Pickled Potpourri

The giveaway is $7 gift certificate to

 Pickled Potpourri Designs!

The Design Team were given some

images to use for this week's challenge.

Here is what I created:

I made a card for Mother's Day, which is on a few weeks.

I used my new Ken Oliver Color Burst

powders (omg--such amazing fun!)

The papers are from an older

collection of Teresa Collins, "Spring Fling"

The sentiment is from Making Memories

Design Shoppe stickers.

Very simple, and quite fun!!

I would have made more, but

my printer and I are NOT getting along

these days. Stubborn thing!

Need a new printer, me thinks.

Until next time, folks!

So much has happened, and I have

been meaning to share with you on my blog.

Some big news. BIG!

(At least for me!! lol)

I have made the

Scrapbook Nerd Creative Team!!!

I am a NERD!!

So exciting!

This week was my first week!!

I am so honored to be on their team--

this online store is absolutely fantastic!

Great prices, great shipping, great service.

And one of the main things I love, 

is that they are completely Canadian!

I love their forums--such a great place

to be. 

There is a running joke among the 

fellow forum girls--the Nerds, as we are called.

The Scrapbook Nerd owners, Joy and Barb, 

are called 'our dealers'. lol

Another term would be enablers at their finest!

So, I would like to share some 

of my projects with you.

I am so excited about this opportunity!!
