My Scor-Pal & Awards

It's been awhile since I've updated, no? I've been so busy crafting and creating that I haven't had a chance to sit and go through pics and to blog. I apologize - to all 5 of you :) - my faithful readers. But stay tuned! I'm working on a bunch of new entries with lots of projects and pictures! First things first - I was awarded some awards!!!! How neat-o is that?

Erica from One Creative Life gave me the Brillante Bog award.

And Mary K awarded me the "I Love Your Blog" award.

Thanks so much ladies... I'm gonna be a rebel and just say to check out my blog roll for my most commmonly read/most inspiring blogs!

In other news... I finally was able to get a Scor-Pal. I'll admit I opted to wait for a coupon from Archiver's. It makes me feel better when I get a bargain. So once I got it home and unwrapped - it was off to the web to discover all the cool things you can do with it.

One of my first creations with the Scor-Pal ws to make a lattice pattern to dress up a card base. I used SU! Very Vanilla. Then all I did was attach as a focal point, an ATC from our PTI ATC Swap. I used one from Regandags, perfect for a baby card for one of my husband's co-workers. So easy-peasy!
