Not so Rusty...

Hi Everyone,
I'm here with a quick post to share that, I'm not as Rusty as I thought. It's been quite a while since I've done challenges. I was soooo Surprised and Happy to receive an email yesterday from Ashley over at "Made Especially For You". I made the Top 3 spot, chosen by the Design Team. This is some great encouragement and made my day. Just wanted to share. You should check out these challenges and join in with the rest of us. I'll be back there for sure. Here's my proudly displayed badge that I was given to show off (lol).

I'm still crafting away and also taking the Online Card Class - "Stretch Your Stamps" host by Kristina Werner & Jennifer McGuire along with other special guests. This class is Ahhh-Mazing. Learning so much and you will be seeing some of the techniques that I'm learning throughout my crafting projects. Have a Happy, Scrappy, Crafting Day... :-)
