Taking the Plunge!

Hello out there in bloggerland! Yes, it's me, the computer-phobic stamper/scrapbooker, finally starting my own Blog. I've been lurking on so many of my stampin' friends' blogs for the longest time now. After much prodding and encouragement from them and some of the gals in my rocking' Stampin' Up! group I've decided to "just do it" and see what happens! So, for better or worse, here we go!

It's my hope to share with you the view from my little corner of the world. Hopefully, my postings and hand-stamped creations will inspire you and challenge you. Feel free to leave comments and let me know how I'm doing!

Here's a picture of a recent 12 x 12 scrapbook page I created for my Scrappin' Simplified class in February. I used the following Stampin' Up! supplies to create this one:

Stamp sets: Polka Dots and Petals, So Many Scallops, Best Friends Alpha lower

Inks: Taken with Teal, Regal Rose, So Saffron, Old Olive

Paper: Taken with Teal, Regal Rose, So Saffron, Old Olive, Whisper White, Old Olive Designer Series paper

Accessories: Circle punches, Scallop punch, eyelets, Crop-a-dile, dimensionals, buttons

Scrapbooking is my first love as a paper crafter, but I don't get to do nearly enough of it for my taste. Hope you like this first posting! I'll be back soon with more and hopefully I'll have figured out all the bells and whistles on this blog thing too!
