Another fun sneak

I think this may be the quickest card I have ever made. It probably took less than 5 minutes. This may just have to be my Christmas card this year.

HAPPY A*MUSE*A*PALOOZA!! *sneak*

I can't believe it's finally here.I am so excited. And it reminds me again that this time last year I was searching all over for the sneaks and any info I could find about the new AP stamps and of course making my ever growing wish list. Amazing how a year changes things. I feel so fortunate to be on such an amazing team of wonderful, creative and talented friends.

My mojo is SO back

I have been hunkered down for two days of total creating bliss. I can't believe how much I have completed. Ya know those things you WANT to do, but never find the time. Well I am finding the time to get some of it finished. I found this blog over the weekend and completed her challenge. I don't do many sketch challenge, so it was a good activity for me. I have lots to show you so stay tuned this week for sneaks, books and new weekly series. I hope you'll join me for all the fun.

Did you get it right?

How did you do on the Designer match game? Here is the card I made. I think some of you got it right. That game was much more difficult than I thought it would be.

Now that is something I can live by. Today I am trying to get some creative things done, can't show you yet but very soon and it will be worth the wait. I needed a little break, so I checked my email and then started blurfing. I found this fun challenge on a site that Geeta had told me about and decided to give it a try.

Don't you just love those tshirts? I may have to get one. I didn't have all the colors, so I just did the best I could.

Inspiration and pics

I have been in a bit of a creative slump since returning from Europe. So I went back to Europe this weekend. Ok not really, but I created food that reminded of my trip. In Rome, I had the yummiest Four Cheese Gnocchi.  Saturday night I made home made gnocchi with yummy cream sauce and spinach. It was very good and the gnocchi is much better than what you buy in the store, but still not quite as good as in Rome.

So next I went to Paris. For dinner tonight, I made a Croque Monsieur. It was good, but again not as good as this.

Enough about my weekend yummies. While looking around on Splitcoast, I found this challenge and just had to give it a try.
