1st Blogged Altered Project for Flashback Friday

hey gurls, I had to dig deep to find my first altered project.. Flashback Friday 8.0 Challenge 

.

 This was created for an Inspiration Challenge over on SplitCoast Stampers for 12/19/08.  I found the template in the resources on SCS...a very handy place, I might add.   I remember I enjoyed creating the 3D tote.   And now that I am revisiting it, I might just have to 'whip' up a few more for that hearty day comin' up!

Thanks so much to Karin for the challenge and to Amy for this everah so fun Flashback!  Be sure to check out this modern retro challenge...

Finding my first blogged Christmas Card

for Amy's Flashback Friday Challenge 4.0!

Other fun around the blog~o~sphere, is Amy's Flashback Friday Challenge. This week is 4.0. You should find your first blogged Christmas card and re post it to your blog (not make a link).

I found mine back in November 2008. It was for a Sketch Challenge on Splitcoast Stampers

I find sketches are the my bugaboo. Think that comes from when I was young and you always heard, "STAY in the LINES"! I climbed outta the box back then and still find that's where I want to play. You either get my art or not. I am not one for the trends. Oh, don't get me wrong, I like to see where colors, patterns, design might be heading...I'll use it as a chance to turn and go the other way! Does that make sense? Perhaps it is I've arrived at an age where I am well satisfied with what I have and I see ways to make the old things fresh. That gives me an idea to dig out this stamp and create something new....back later...

And to my 'old' friend, Amy....thanks girl!
