Florida is getting my baby sister.....

Kerry is on her way to Port Orange, FL.

I am sad, the girls are sad, even Scott is sad.

But this is a new journey for her.

I know she will make the best of it.

I know I will talk to her ALL the time.

Some pics of our gathering for her last week....

Kerry & the kiddos who love her.

Kerry & her BFF, Tammi (since they were 9)

Mom, Kerry, & George

Kerry & her fave BILs

The ones below are of Sandy & I

torturing Kerry.  She will miss that immensely!

LOVE YOU, KER!

ScrapFIT Workout Challenge #10 Reveal

ScrapFIT Workout #10 is called "Christmas Cookies"

The layout doesn't have to be about Christmas,

but it does have to use some

Cosmo Cricket product (this workout's sponsor)

AND you have to use a word related to Christmas

and each letter of the word has to relate to something

on your layout.

IE: I used the word "gifts"

G-Glitter

I-Ink

F-Family

T-Thickers

S-Storybook Cricut Cartridge

Also, ScrapFIT Design Team Search

 will run from Dec 16 to Jan 5th.

Cards, Cards, Cards

I have been in card making mode lately.

I love that I can be creative in a short

amount of time & make a person's day

just by making a handmade card.

Found a "new to me" sketch community

called "My Sketch World."

They have both layout and card sketches

posted on the 1st & 15th of each month.

PLUS, their forum is filled with the nicest

crafters! They are so friendly & welcoming.

Here are two cards I made based on

card sketches from My Sketch World

December 1st Card Sketch:

September 1st Card Sketch:

Here is another card I did last week

based on a sketch over at Sketchy Thursdays:

Spunky Scrapper's DT Sketch Reveal

Did I tell you all that I made the Spunky Scrapper's DT?

Spunky Scrapper's ning community

Spunky Scrapper's blog

Well, I did!  The ladies there have their own

spunky style, which is a fab thing in my book.

My awesome friend, Cherie, made Spunky's

Sketch DT.  I am ecstatic about this because I

love her sketches & she doesn't do them often enough

(IMO). :)

Here is Cherie's first sketch for Spunky:

Here is my take on it:

New sketches are posted on the 1st & 15th of the month

at Spunky Scrappers.
