The Circus Girl

Yay today starts the 4th of July weekend! I thought I would share a card with you. I wanted to show one of the uses for the tags I sell in my shop. For this card I just trimed the hole off the tag but you can request no holes when you purchase them too!
I chose a Circus Theme because its big right now and I needed a burst of color after working on Halloween all week.

Scrapbooking?!?!

I use almost every tool and product known to man (maybe that should be to woman) for scrapbooking. I get asked if I scrapbook all the time. I mean seriously all the time. When I say "no" I get weird looks and Huh? For some reason I just don't like scrapbooking in its original since. I don't know why. Maybe its that big 12 x 12 blank space staring back at me. It seems to me there are "rules" for scrapbooking. I don't like rules when I create. Or it could even be the whole proportion and make things straight thing. I'm not very good at making things straight. (for proof see above-crooked page) But..... I dream, hope, and so desire to be a designer for scrapbook companies. I want to be on a design team, teach workshops, be part of CHA (Craft Hobby Assosiacion), and get free samples dang it! So practice makes perfect. I am practicing every day. I'm practicing teaching, scrapbooking, and different techniques. Why just this morning I taught my Keegan how to blend ink. And just yesterday I taught Scrappy- doo (our dog) how to use the cuttlebug. He just watched but, I'm sure he could apply what I taught him. So look out scrapbooking world. Here I come and I dream BIG.

BOO!

I just wanted to show you my Boo-banner. They were a big hit last year so I made some more for this year. (I like this one better than last years. Its bigger too) You can find it in my shop.Don't forget about the give away. All of your answers have been SO helpful! I will announce a winner this Thursday.
