- STAZON Timber Brown ink...it's a perfect brown! I have tried other brands looking for a good go with anything brown...and this is it!
- Pegboard storage! LOL! My DH put mine up and I love how much storage space it gives me...plus I can keep some of my favorite pretties in view!
- Thickers by American Crafts...I have some...have had them for awhile...finally USED them...and LOVE EM!
Well...that pretty much sums up my April fave standouts...there are too many blog sites and challenges for me to list that I abolutely adore every week...all of which can be found on my blog list on the left side of my page!
Hoping to get at least one more thing done before April officially ends...and then once May starts...well...I'll need new music as well!

LOL!) for my Mom for Mother's Day...it's all about her grandkids and when she got to have all three of them visit at once last fall...great pics...can't wait to actually do something with them!
I have several items to get prepped and done for the DT, and...of course I have stuff that I want to work on for the FUN of it! Someone posted about a product on CafeMom today...and I realized I had it and hadn't used it in awhile...so I will definitely be trying to dig that out and play!

Good Friday and Easter Weekend!
Anyways...as promised the other day, here is the card I created for the Wednesday Card Challenge over at If the shoe fits...
I struggled with it for a little while...but in the end it worked out. It turned into more of a "letter" card...if there is such a thing. Basically it's a card I'd use to send a letter, no real sentiment or specific reason like a birthday or anything...but just a nice note! Enough of my rambling...off to get some stuff done...hopefully to return to scrapping soon!
Supplies:
- Cardstock: American Crafts
- Paper: K&Co - Life's Journey
- Stamp: Stampabilities - Le London Script
- Image: Somerset Studio Clip Art

I used gems on the sentiment, and some on the butterfly wings. I then coated the "body" with Diamond Dust and Glossy Accents, and then randomly Stickled some areas for a little extra shine!
This is another stamp set that I have that I have NOT used! Only...I can claim ignorance on this one a bit as I only received it the other day!!!! So...at least I can say I used a previously "unused" set for this week!!! WOOHOO!!! Love working in the grey area!!! HEEHEE! Hopefully I will have time tomorrow to scrap...oh wait...what am I thinking????? Of course...I will MAKE TIME to scrap!!!
