Mom won an ATC Contest!

Here is Mom (Lois to all of you) after she won the ATC contest at the Indianapolis Rubber Stamp and Paper Arts Convention last weekend!!!! How cool is that?!?!?! Mom, Big Daddy and I went to Indy for the day to see the stamp convention and we heard there was going to be ATC trading, so we made some and took them along. When we got to the convention, there was an ATC Contest too....so we entered it.....and Lois won! She got "Rubber Bucks" to spend in the booths on the convention floor.
Here she is signing her name as the winner - her winning ATC is the card you see there by her right hand!
Here is Mom getting her prize......and yes, that is our friend Mary Jo McGraw demoing in the corner of the picture! It was fun visiting with her too!
A picture of the convention.

It was also fun that I ran into my online friend, Melinda, who lives about an hour or so from Indy....neither of us knew the other was going to be there! We usually only see each other once a year in August for the Stampaway Convention in Sharonville OH!

Making Memories Heart Mini Book

I had so much fun turning these chipboard hearts from Making Memories into a fun little book with pictures of my niece! My Crop-a-dile made it easy to punch the hole to turn the chipboard pieces into a "book".

Valentine's Cards

I had fun making Valentine's (anytime you get a moment to create is a good time, eh?) and thought I would share....We just had a Valentine's card swap at Memories a la Mode and these are the cards I made....I have a problem with making the same card several times, I know I need to work on that, but I usually end up making different looking cards even though I only have to come up with one design.....
