i took the challenge

there's a demo challenge on splitcoast every friday. it's for demonstratable 3-d projects and there are some great projects! i truly love the projects, but up until now, i just haven't had the energy to participate~well, this week i took the challenge and created this little envelope scrapbook that was originally created by paula goff on her lovely blog inking addict . take a look at bella's petits gateaux to learn more. thanks for looking!

join my team(3 easy payments)!

i cannot even believe how understanding stampin'up! is about the present state of our economy. they've just informed us that, before sale-a-bration ends, there will be an option to join stampin' up! with three easy payments. you will pay your first installment payment and receive your starter kit to get started with your stampin' up! business and then you will be billed two other times to finish paying it off! isn't that fabulous?! i'm grateful for the extra money i've earned to help us pay for cat food here, dog food there, litter, gas, utility bills, or a gallon of milk when we've needed it. if you'd like to join my team, please leave me a message on this post and i'll contact you to help you get started! also, until 31 march 2009 you can also join stampin' up! for 15% off~you will be able to choose any stamp set from the spring/summer 2009 idea book and catalog(up to $47.95 value) with your starter kit and you will also receive one pack of watercolor wonder crayons from me( just let me know, after you've signed up, which color group you'd like)!

finally!

i've been in the worst creative slump since i started feeling better! you may recall the two cards i couldn't finish. well, i've finally finished one! woo!hoo! i don't think it's my best work ever, but it's still rather lovely. i have more information about it at bella's petits gateaux. please let me know what you think!
abrazos y amor,

snow dog

if worst comes to worst, i know de niro can pull me on a sled in the snow! lol! he's such a little snow dog~he eats it, runs in it, fetches in it(he has an incredible sense of smell)! he'd make an awesome little iditarod dog! i snapped these pics of him the other day when we had a lovely snowstorm~the flakes were huge and oh so pretty! i'm excited punxsutawney phil saw his shadow and we get six more weeks of winter! i love the snow! see de niro smiling?! he's happy, too!
