Going to make this short. :) All is well with the shopping ban, but my wishlist is GROWING! lol! I started teaching and grad school this week. No time to play, so I don't have anything new to show you. I will be working my tail off crafting for the Labor Day weekend show next week. Most likely, there will not be a new post until after everything is over. Stick with me! I will be back! I did, however, choose a winner for this week's drawing. The next drawing will be from comments on my NEXT post. Take care and have a fabulous week!!!
This has been a busy week for sure! I made a pennant for my classroom, a crayon wreath, a card, used my Quarter Note Cricut cart to decorate my classroom...and I only have one photo for you. I don't know if anyone else is going through this, but I have had a TERRIBLE summer with my sinuses and TMJ. The weather must have churned up something that does not agree with me. Given my lame excuse, I haven't done my You Tube video yet, but do plan on getting to done tomorrow after I get home from work. Also, know that I appreciate your comments and try to get to everyone's blog on the hop and comment. Didn't get the time I had hoped for last week!
Shopping ban is still on, however I have a HUGE craft show coming up over Labor Day weekend and have been allotted some funds to get the supplies I need to get by for this show. Nothing new and fancy, but it is uber tempting!!!
Stash items I used: Basic Grey paper pad, retired Stampin Up canvas pieces, Unity KOM image (August kit) and string that was given to me. (I have something like six big spools of it!!)
Winner for this week...something from my stash (The responses I have received so far from winners who received their packages is positive, so even through you don't know what you are getting I don't give junk!)

My inspiration from my stash this week was the DCWV 8X8 stack Mariposa and Unity/Webster's Pages Today's Special set. Gorgeous! Not a page touched of that pack nor the stamps opened until yesterday. I did these as quickie cards, so nothing super special. . Have a fab Friday!
Winner!!!!! Danie May said... This is fabulous. I really love the image of the folk like stencil and your colours.

I made it a month! (With only one little indiscretion.) Although, I have been keeping a wishlist since I started my shopping ban. It will be interesting to see what really makes the cut when I do decide to shop again. A few of my faves this week have been: The Boarding Pass Collection by October Afternoon Lindy Stamp Gang Products
Here is my creation for the week. A truly "Folk Inspired" card from the Unity set of the same name. This was one of my earlier Unity purchases, which never saw ink until last night. So glad that I tried it out. Also, the first time I used the Washi tape and pulled out some great Papertrey Ink vintage buttons. I really like how this turned out, surprisingly enough. I also posted a video this week, but it was TERRIBLE! Had to use my webcam through You Tube because my craft room is in transition. Ugh! Forgive me!
Both cards are fabulous! The geometric circles are sooooo cool looking. And, the kite card--swoon! Love everything about it.

I am a wife, mom of four (husband, preschooler, 2nd grader and dog), full-time music teacher and lover of all things stamping/scrapping/crafting.
Oh...and I'm on a design team of one. My own. And, I've never been published. Nothing to brag about yet...
