Another I Am Roses Project...

Hey there!
I'm back with another DT project for I Am Roses... it's a 4x5 mini album titled "Call Me."  Last year, when my daughter left to college, I consoled myself by diving into scrapbooking.  I made her a mini filled with family pics, and it was basically a catharsis for me because it helped me deal with missing her.  Well, this being her second year away, I've been dealing a whole lot better.  This year's book has a more... ummm... not so hidden agenda.  I wanted the book's message to be, as the title indicates, call me!  Call me ALL the time!  So I've listed the top 3 reasons why she should call me, along with some other bits of wisdom that others have shared with me at some point or another.  And so here it is...









You can watch the video (here)
It has more pics and better shots :)

I used Melissa Frances' 5th Avenue paper collection
Lindy's Stamp Gangs Starburst Stains and Glitz Spritz
Sizzix Telephone Die
and of course...
I Am Roses

Thank you so much for stopping by, and I'd love to hear what you think,
so please leave a comment!
Smooches,

Graphicat's November Sketch Challenge!

Graphicat Cheri has another lovely sketch for us this month!
AND she has has some awesome new digi stamps and sentiments available in her STORE!
I created this wonderfully funny card with my favorite new one!
Isn't it adorable?  I kept it very simple, and just added stickles on some
of the snowflakes...'cause really, a stamp this cute, just doesn't need a whole lot else!


My next favorite stamp is the sentiment used below...
isn't it perfect for Kenny K's "Xmas Hottie"!!!


So here's the sketch... hope you'll join the
for this month's challenge!


Thanks for stopping by!
Smooches
