Krafty Girls Challenge Number 1 and Blog Hop!!!

Hello and Happy Valentine's Day everyone!!!  Welcome to my lil' ol' blog!  I am so excited to be a part of the Krafty Girls DT, and I'm super excited that today is the first challenge!!!  The challenge is to create a card, 3D item, scrapbook page, etc. that represents the place that you're from/live.  I live in California, so this is the card I made to represent some of my favorite things about living here!  California has soooo many things to offer (deserts, agriculture, some really big cities), but I chose to represent what I love most: a big redwood tree, the ocean, and (of course) Mickey Mouse because I love going to Disneyland!!!  I also added twine around the state, this represents the area of California where I live!  Hope you enjoy and I can't wait to see what all of you create over at Krafty Girls!!!  :)

Stinkin' Sweet Thank You Card

Hello there!  I made this card to enter into some challenges, and I love the way it turned out!  I am actually going to be giving this to my parents.  They paid for the hotel rooms in Vegas and I think that was awesome of them!  :)  Okay, onto the card...  I came up with the sentiment all by myself!  I was cracking up, the skunk's stinkin' and the lollipop is sweet!  It's just too punny!  :)  I was also laughing at how difficult it was for me to take a picture of a circular card....  It kept rolling all over the place! :)  Hee hee....

Disney Auto"Goof" Book

Hello there everyone!  This is another project my friend Sarah and I made.  This is something we wanted to make that was a little different (as you know I usually make cards)....  Let me tell you a little about where the idea for this came from....  I absolutely love Disney!!!!  I live near Disneyland.  My dream vacation is to go to DisneyWorld (haven't been there yet).  I own all of the Disney DVD's.  One of my favorite movies is The Little Mermaid (it's a redhead thing).  Sometimes I dance to Disney songs with my students for P.E.  Eventhough I don't have kids, I still love going to Disneyland and I actually will tear up after walking through the gates.  It's just such a happy place!  :)  So that's just a little background about my Disney obsession! :)  So here is the autograph book that we came up with (Sarah came up with Auto"goof", she's so clever)!
