About Me

My photo
Carlisle, Pennsylvania
I am a stay at home mom..now that is! February 19th, 2007 I was involved in a car accident while on vacation in Florida. I awoke in ICU to find out that my only two children Annemarie age 3 and Michael age 5 did not make it. Scrapbooking became such a big part of my life. It helped fill a void that I desperately needed to fill. Our therapist suggested that I take up scrapbooking as a way to memorialize my children, little did she know! So I took that and ran with it.I became obsessed with scrapping and took over the second largest room in my house. Because of my injuries I couldn't go out and get a job, I just scrapped!I printed out 2,000 photos and my journey began. I have made albums for family members and layouts to decorate my craft room. We thought we were done having kids but who expected this tragedy??? I just gave birth in June 2009 to two beautiful baby girls Mia Anne and Gianna Marie named after their brother and sister.I swore that I would keep up with their albums so I won't become overwhelmed so we will see how that works out! My profile picture is the last family picture that was taken of all of us.

Craftin' Desert Divas Mini Release Blog Hop



Welcome to the CDD Mini Stamp and Die Release Blog Hop. All stamps are in the CDD Shop and now available for purchase.



 




You may purchase stamps HERE.


Here's what I've created for you...



I used the FANCY FRAMES dies for all of the layers on my card. The oval die in the center is from the BANNER DIES set. The pencils were colored with my Spectrum Noir markers and topped off with Glossy Essentials. To give the card dimension I added a bunch of Foam Tape to pop certain elements up. The sentiment is a mix of two stamp sets. The first part, "JUST A NOTE TO" came from THE SKY IS THE LIMIT stamp set. I masked off the other part of the sentiment. Next I used the sentiment THANK YOU from SAY IT BIG stamp set.




I accented the card with some Doodlebug Red, White and Blue Glitter Sprinkles.  They are just one of the many different Sprinkles that CDD carries.  They also have a wonderful selection of craft supplies as well available under their CRAFT SUPPLIES section.

Your next stop on the hop is ever so crafty and talented Giorgia.
