long time over due



















Well I know this is long over due . That's cause I have not crocheted in a while . I recently finished a few little things for a RAK (random act of kindness ) I sent out . Starting back in March of 2011 I got hooked on another interest of mine , scrapbooking . I had a small hoard and stash of a few things that I had picked from stores here and there over the years , yes years lol I was supposed to get started on a few things but had no idea what i was doing, so I just let it sit there to accumulate lol , Then I bought a stamp set from Walmart a starter kit . I thought it would be cute to stamp a few things and add glitter to them to make cards. I figured I have to use up that stash of stuff some how. well from there it all exploded.  First I found out about stamping techniques. then heat embossing WOW then die cutting then mini books . I was feeling overwhelmed with all of it , whew I needed to slow down but it was really hard as I was addicted to all of it and what you can do with all those neat things out there . So I did some research and bought a cuttle bug . I knew about the Bigshot but it was very expensive at the time and I wanted a machine right away. why I have no idea cause I did not even know how to use it lol.  so after a few tries I figured out how to use  the cuttlebug , really cool liked that a lot . then while I was discovering  about new scrapbooking techniques I discovered T!m Holtz Oh my gosh I fell in love . his work is amazing and right up my ally . so now my journey has begun to learn learn and learn some more. so far I have made a card a few tags and a tp roll mini with balsa box . I will posts pics . thanks to all that have subbed to me so far . I am a slow one when it comes to blogging . I am still learning how to use this place too lol . you can never be too old to learn anything new . will try to post a continuation of this real soon .
