Yankee Belle Stamper

I was tagged by my friend Mandy ( http://messagesfrommandy.blogspot.com/ ). I am supposed to find the 4th picture in my 4th folder of my photo directory and post it. This is what I found: While I was in NYC I took a trip to Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum. I had a blast taking photos with all of the "Fake Wax" celebrities! The picture above is of David Wright and I. He plays for my favorite team "The Mets"! Not to mention, he is a super hottie! My husband and I have tickets to see the Mets this April at their new stadium. I can not wait! Who knows? Maybe I will catch a homerun ball by David! Below are a couple of pictures I took of my "mostly" finished craft room. I love it! Everything has it's place. I just wanted to share it with you all.

I have been absent recently from my craft room but will be back shortly. My family came up from Arkansas for a week and we had a blast, visiting scrapbook stores galore and going to see "The Knowing". Really great movie but the ending was unexpected. While my mom was up, she helped me get my craft room up to date. I have a place for everything, baskets galore, peg board and ribbon storage. I officially have a "craft sanctuary". I will attach photos later on this week, just need to tidy up a few loose ends. On a side note I just got through watching "Twilight". I never could understand what the big deal was about the series, but man am I hooked! I am going out to Borders tomorrow to buy "Twilight" the book! Last but not least how hot is Robert Pattinson? Anyone? Brad Pitt move over!

Alright you guys, I am back with another challenge by Kristina ( www.kwernerdesign.com ). Can you say HARD ! We had to use black, white and gray (no other colors)! I considered this mission impossible at first and after second thought, yep, still impossible! The card turned out alright, I think. I just wish I could add a little color to make it POP ! Hence the turquoise background.

I received this super sweet award from Terry ( http://cardscreativity.blogspot.com/ ). Thank you so much! I wanted to pay it forward with a few of my favorite blog sites I like to visit.

Hey ya'll! I am back with another challenge from Kristina ( http://www.kwernerdesign.com/ ). The colors she chose this week were close to cocoa, pretty in pink, chocolate chip and whisper white. I bought this really cool sizzix die cut and had to try it out on my new Big Shot machine. Love it! It is super easy to use and have I mentioned that I love it?
