The process is fairly simple, although I don't do all that well with measurements! LOL!! Nonetheless, here are 2 additional easel cards that I'm working on and hope to finish tomorrow. These cards will accompany baskets, all of which I will post once completed. TFL... again.<br />

<br />
Hope everyone had a great Father's Day. I was asked to cook some down-home favorites for the men at church in celebration of Father's Day; so I ended up cooking 10lbs of chicken and 3 medium sized pans of mac-n-cheese! Can I say that there was nothing left over!! OMG! I am just thankful that I could contribute to the celebration. <br />
<br />
Now most scrappers/crafters I know feel compelled to make every card for every occasion, instead of giving money to the local card stores. Well, I came up a little short this Father's Day, but I did manage to make 1 card for my DH. I colored images for the kids' cards, but never finished the cards. Well, I guess that means I'll have a head start for next year! LOL. I also made money holder cards for my godchildren (although so totally belated...). Thanks for looking.<br />

I have been working really hard to do more challenges, and visit more blogs, but to no avail. I have been blessed by a few customer requests for hand-crafted gifts, which have been keeping me busy. <br />
<br />
June seems to be a month full of celebrations of major milestones, mostly weddings (and anniversaries) and graduations. Here are a few projects that I have completed since my last post in April. Thanks for looking.<br />

<br />
I hope you have been enjoying your Spring, thus far. It’s been a while since I’ve posted here due to a crazy work schedule… and life, in general. Since my last post, I’ve attended a wonderful 4-day scrapbooking retreat in PA, and was able to get a few projects completed there.<br />
<br />

So, I’m EXCITED!!! It’s a simple card, and was fairly simple to make using SCAL, DCWV Natural and Shimmer Stacks and my Cricut. TFL.<br />
<br />

Also, my wonderful friend <a href="http://cjscropcorner.blogspot.com/">Croppin Cassie</a> gave me my very first Stylish Blogger Award! So, in response to that I must identify 7 random facts about myself, and pass the award forward.<br />
1. My favorite color is purple.<br />
2. I’m not as much of a phone person as I used to be, but will text or IM in a minute.<br />
3. I love watching scrapbooking or crafting videos, but I’m not so quick to try the new projects.<br />
4. I love, love, love to eat crabs.<br />
5. I love line dancing.<br />
6. I want to get back into roller skating.<br />
7. I love crime-solving shows/mysteries.<br />
<br />
Passing this award on to:<br />

I hope that those who celebrated Valentine’s had a rewarding day. Happy Birthday to all February celebrants out there. It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything to my blog, but my family has been battling sicknesses. You know how that goes when you have kids – the germs are “shared” throughout the household; but the manifestation or outcome of the germs may vary between each individual. In fact, I’ve been fighting some cold/sinus infection for about 2 weeks! Nonetheless, I truly took advantage of the President’s Day holiday and the “snow/ice day” we had yesterday in the DMV area. I was able to complete at least 4 cards over the last 2 days, which is a world-record for me!! LOL!<br />

Last year, Croppin Cassie and I decided to attend the Craft & Hobby Association (CHA) Super Craft Show in Rosemont, IL. What is CHA all about, you ask? CHA's vision is to create a vibrant industry by bringing vendors and consumers together, in an effort to expand the customer base and stimulate the sales growth in craft and hobby industry. At CHA, consumers like you and me, are able to get a "sneak peek" at some of the newest products that the manufacturers have not released to the general public or retailers. For example, Provo Craft showcased the Imagine at CHA 2010, so we were able to see the machine in action before it was released for retail!<br /><br />Well, it appears that my love for this craft/hobby has caught up to me! It has been brought to my attention that my face (and the faces of Croppin Cassie, and many others who are passionate about the craft) can be seen as part of the marketing for CHA 2011! Check out this link: <a href="http://www.craftsupershow.com/">http://www.craftsupershow.com/</a>.

I participated in my first crop of 2011 over at <a href="http://www.cjscropcorner.blogspot.com/">Cassie's Crop Corner </a>on Jan. 15. As many of my closest scrappin' buddies know, it seems to take me forever to get started on a project. One of the hardest things for me is the paper selection. Another is image selection. Well, I sat at Cassie's for a while, trying to come up with an idea for dd's and dh's bday cards. OMGoodness, I felt like a total beginner, not like someone who has been scrappin for at least 5 years! Ok, I'm done with my pity party! LOL. I was able to at least put a dent in dh's bday card, but can't share the pics yet, as his bday is next month. Thanks to Cassie, I worked with vinyl for the first time, and it was G-O-O-D! I added my screen name to my purple E!</div><br /><div></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjp8sis6X5yY2UBvz8gDneJHEJ2nDAt3UjJUkJzA5IPaYWvlbqwxhzbBO1Iv3DWIoCFfQ9KfYuMSUPv9W5AhHQBjoSdvwuzr4XK7t6GF6wOLwhTdb7OJ3Sagg1118Ff6BhiJAR309QyBPNl/s1600/CDR+Expression.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 147px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5565472492424132738" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjp8sis6X5yY2UBvz8gDneJHEJ2nDAt3UjJUkJzA5IPaYWvlbqwxhzbBO1Iv3DWIoCFfQ9KfYuMSUPv9W5AhHQBjoSdvwuzr4XK7t6GF6wOLwhTdb7OJ3Sagg1118Ff6BhiJAR309QyBPNl/s320/CDR+Expression.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><div>Well, the crop inspired me to keep creating, and not to be discouraged by the length of time it takes me to finish a project. With this in mind, I decided to revamp a birthday card to make it a belated card.

DD had an incident with a sharp pencil, which required a trip to urgent care on Friday. Needless to say, this put a damper on my crafting mojo - which many of you know has been "skiddish" to say the least. LOL! After spending 3+ hours at urgent care, I returned home to try to pick up where I left off, but I couldn't do it. We went to church, had a fabulous time in the service, followed by food and fellowship. We got in around 3am, and I had an urge to finish the project I had started. I was coloring some digi stamps I purchased from <a href="http://digitalpenciltoo.com/">Mo's Digital Pencil</a> to use for birthday cards (twin boys). Though the cards are not 100% completed, the hardest part is done - paper and image selections!

To some it may sound crazy or even corny, but I get excited when I think of all that God has done for me, and what He has brought me and my family through. I thank Him for the tests/trials, for without these tests, I would have no TESTIMONIES! I am grateful for this hobby that I love – paper crafting/scrapbooking. For through this hobby, I have been able to connect with many wonderful people who also share a passion for crafting, and who are generous enough to share their talents (and projects) with me. <div><div><br /><div>I am looking forward to new crafting projects and actually completing more projects in 2011! One of my crafting goals for 2011 is to explore using vinyl. I will continue working to master coloring with my Copics, as well as building and maintaining this blog. So, come with me, buckle up and prepare for the journey that lies ahead in 2011! </div><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5555798265868719522" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 148px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JvDdcmVB9as/TRopFkDWFaI/AAAAAAAAABk/Wtflx_3gjVA/s200/SorryShana_Dec2010.jpg" border="0" /> <div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_JvDdcmVB9as/TRooc_oI17I/AAAAAAAAABU/yOSUoQP9hkQ/s1600/SorryShana_Dec2010.jpg"></a></div><br /><div>As we journey, let us not forget those who couldn’t make the journey with us.<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_JvDdcmVB9as/TRooc_oI17I/AAAAAAAAABU/yOSUoQP9hkQ/s1600/SorryShana_Dec2010.jpg"></a></div></div></div>Lisa (aka CropDropNRoll)http://www.blogger.com/profile/07755644581070894053noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2022619513707596033.post-52991107634082680692010-12-16T16:20:00.001-05:002010-12-16T16:35:50.897-05:00Under Construction<div>Greetings and thanks for visiting.
