My scrappin' is an area that has definitely needed to be re-evaluated. I've had some health issues which have made scrappin' difficult at best, and due to this, I've resigned from all of my team memberships. But even more than that, I found myself not wanting to scrap from the pressure of having to make a certain project....by a certain due date...and good enough that the bloggin' world would like it. Compound that with not feeling well....and I just quit scrappin'. But I miss it.....so I'm back to doing it again. At least scrapbook pages. Cards take up lots of time, and frankly, I feel pressure for the cards to up to a certain standard. That takes away the fun. So for right now, I'm mostly scrappin' layouts, but if the mood hits me, I'll make a card or two. Thank you for your kind words and support in the past! I love my dear friends in the "bloggin'" world! Hugs and prayers people!</span><br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Most of my new work will be posted on my scrapbooking blog: </span><br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;"><a href="http://scrap4thememories.blogspot.com/">Scrap 4 the Memories.</a></span>Sherrihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10962845687211335641noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4042987377014720692.post-74034932030633784202011-06-10T11:29:00.002-04:002011-06-10T11:35:13.421-04:00A Trio of Little Grad Chicks<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiD2MFhuzPvPN9D-royF96HysQgbbt7BKI42qQ5msZrlbkt-Gev_LKpBV3CsSLWua_5xaSG2MrQrbGqYlariaa2tpyHb9u8yNbKl1XpM0T63Z5TKWqKwBzp4RpfNZpNZF3MtFsVCVTlfcRe/s1600/grad+chick+trio.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 234px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5616614902305697762" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiD2MFhuzPvPN9D-royF96HysQgbbt7BKI42qQ5msZrlbkt-Gev_LKpBV3CsSLWua_5xaSG2MrQrbGqYlariaa2tpyHb9u8yNbKl1XpM0T63Z5TKWqKwBzp4RpfNZpNZF3MtFsVCVTlfcRe/s400/grad+chick+trio.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div><strong><em>Still having problems, and not crafting much at all.

I started with basic shape chipboard albums (check out Michael's $1 bins), separated them, and covered them with paper. Added a cute little Cricut character - (one has the mouse from Create a Critter with some Paper Doll Dress Up clothes....and the other has a little Snowfriend on some embossed foil.) Add some trim around the edges and a ribbon, and you have an ornament. One thing I love about these is that they are lightweight and easy to mail as a Christmas greeting to friends and family. And they get a new ornament too!<br /><br /><p align="center"></p><br /><p align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-OffD_wD91dQldTVlz4kI8Wa_KqeQAsnF5E638bm6XG-MAeAF3XwqGfKJcY6HjXex_9Zc48bnvqC8dTk2reSezMOiHio7fB6wisqizzWlq36ISpHjS-tJvfhaptTMMgC4d0b0Mmpgkwq_/s1600/gingerbread.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 220px; HEIGHT: 220px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5549993452979433746" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-OffD_wD91dQldTVlz4kI8Wa_KqeQAsnF5E638bm6XG-MAeAF3XwqGfKJcY6HjXex_9Zc48bnvqC8dTk2reSezMOiHio7fB6wisqizzWlq36ISpHjS-tJvfhaptTMMgC4d0b0Mmpgkwq_/s400/gingerbread.jpg" /></a></p><br /><br /><br /><br /><p align="center">To Thank You for stopping by, I'm giving away Gingerbread Solutions.
