Now, let's walk down the red carpet & see what I have in store for you today.....

I have decided to go w/ the movie, "The Story of Us". Now, I know that this movie is not necesarily a happy movie, however, my husband, kids & I ARE happy. We adore our kids, & always have fun no matter what we do. & although I may not tell my husband as much I should, he is my rock! I love him, & my girls, with all of my heart & soul. So, this story is about US.

Those of you that know me, & I say this often, know that I LOVE sketches. So, I decided to use this months sketch challenge at Crop Stop for my lo & card below. You can find the thread with the sketches here. Please be sure to check it out, & of course, post your lo should you chose to accept the challenge. Sketches are a great way for inspiration, or just a push to help you get started on a lo if your mojo isn't flowing.




The pictures in the above lo are from Halloween 2009, when we went trick-or-treating in the pouring rain. We didn't go to many houses, but we did wind up sitting on the porch & had so much fun just handing out candy & seeing all the costumes everyone was wearing.



The stem of the flower on this birthday card was made with rhinestones that were in the form of a word. It was a French word, that had been sent to me as a RAK. Since I am not French, & probably would never have used it as that word, I took it apart to form the stem for the flower. (check out the sketch for this card in the Crop Stop forum).


And here is a lo just because. It is a pic of me & my dh from the same Halloween night, so I thought I would share it. We don't have too many pics of the two of us.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

I am also offering a RAK for the hop today! If you become a follower of my blog, & leave me a comment w/ your favorite movie of all times, I will chose a random winner for a RAK from me!

One last thing... would you like a coupon to enjoy a discount on your order of $20 or more. (coupon code: OSCAR) expires March 10th. Happy shopping!!

Red Carpet Studio ABC Random Blog Hop

Welcome to the ABC Ransom Blog Hop,  hosted by  Red Carpet Studio !   If you've come from Stephanie J's  blog, you're in the right place. The Red Carpet Studio designers thought it would be fun to host a mystery blog hop while showcasing projects that can be made using all those leftover letters in your stash - hence where the "ransom" comes in. Ransom notes play a huge role in mystery/suspense films, and are often created out of random letters cut from magazines, newspapers, etc. in order to disguise handwriting.  While we won't be doing any kidnapping or holding anybody ransom today - we do have some creative projects to share with you! For my project using leftover letters in my stash, I created...   I used letters from a leftover Thickers pack, & used them to frame around the girls picture. I just randomly placed them to form the frame.  I used Basic Grey paper, & embellishments, & some random bu...
