World Cardmaking Day is coming up on Saturday, October 4th and we are going to celebrate over at Creative Scrappers with a Cardmaking Day Crop! It will get started at 9Am EST and continue until midnight. There will be sketches, challenges and prizes.......and you won't want to miss it!!!

I will be hosting 2 card challenges myself with sketches, so this week I have been working on teaching myself how to make a sketch on my computer. Well............I am so NOT computer savy, and it has been a slow going, trial and error, but I finally found an old program I forgot I had and have made 3 card sketches so far. They are very simple sketches, but I am feeling rather proud of myself, nonetheless. Unfortunately, I will have to keep them under wraps until I post them at Creative Scrappers on October 4th, so come by the Crop and check it out. There will be a ton of great card sketches that day and I know that I am planning on using them to get started making my Christmas cards for this year. I hope to see you there!!!

Take a look at this week's sketch #17 at Creative Scrappers. This great sketch was designed by Allison Cope and below the sketch is my layout of this sketch. Make sure to take a look at the Design Team Reveal of this sketch on the Creative Scrappers Blog. You are sure to find tons of

inspiration there.

Also don't forget that it's only 8 more days until the monthly 1 Hour Sketch Contest. Check out all the details here for the contest on the 23rd. I will also post reminders here when it gets a little closer.

The weather here has been wonderfully cool since Ike moved through on Sunday. There is such a crispness of Fall already, and I have to say that I am more than ready for it. The only bad thing about Fall getting here is that Christmas is soon to follow and I am NOT in any way ready for that. I have been working on planning out some Christmas gifts I am making and gathering supplies for those. Big thanks to my buddy Tam for hooking me up with a more than overly generous RAK that will be such a big help with some of the gifts this year. I luv ya girlie!!!!

Have a wonderful day everyone!

Please take a moment sometime during the day today to remember the victims and countless heroes of the fateful day known as 9-11-01. Please don’t forget our troops who are overseas defending our great country and those who have given their lives defending it. Let us never forget!

Happy Labor Day!!! I am just a tad behind posting on my blog and need to get my butt in gear and get caught up and also need to get alot of scrapping done this week....so stay tuned!

Then new Sketch #15 along with the DT Reveal was posted on the board as well as the blog at Creative Scrappers yesterday, and this new sketch will not disappoint. It was made by our very talented Lucy Chesna and I can't wait to work on this one. This will be the last sketch reveal of the current Design Team and the new teams will be starting with next week's sketch. This current team has been an absolute definition of talent, creativity and inspiration and they have done a wonderful job. I have enjoyed all of their works so very much.

There so so many new and exciting things going on over at Creative Scrappers so I hope you will come on over and check it out. I will post some more details of some of the happenings over the next few days. Enjoy the rest of your holiday weekend everyone!!!!
