Get Well Soon Card

Hello my friends!
Today's blog is a card that I made.  

I had this cute C.C. Designs Nurse Nora image

that I just had to color up.  She is too cute!

My youngest daughter inspired this card as she

is spending the last two years of high school taking 

college level nurse's aide training.  She will be a 

certified nursing assistant when she graduates 

high school.  I am so proud of her for wanting to 

become a nurse.  She will then take nursing at

college after she graduates, but she will be so much

further along than the other students just starting nursing.

So here is the cute card.... I hope you like it!

Hope you all have a happy scrappy day!!

Hugs,

Leslie ♥

Well it has been over a year since my last post. A lot has happened in my personal life. I lost my Mom on March 28, 2013 and then my older sister, Teresa on September 11, 2013. I cannot tell you how bad that was losing them both so close to each other. They were a huge part of my life and I feel like a part of me died with them. It is coming up on the year anniversary of my sister's death and I miss them both so very much! I just wanted to let you all know why I have not been creating. I lost my mojo for a very long time. I am slowly getting it back and I want to start posting here again. I want to start doing challenges more with cards. I love making them and want to show you all my creations. The next post will have a card I made. See you all in the next post! Hugs, Leslie

MB's Treasurista Gettin Organized Challenge

Hello all my crafty friends!!

Welcome to the  

MB's Treasurista Gettin Organized Challenge!

For my organizational challenge, I decided I 

needed a new way to store my ever growing

collection of laces.  I just recently acquired a ton

of vintage laces from a local garage sale and I had 

to incorporate them into my stash.  I decided I would

use a chipboard circle to wrap all the laces individually

and use pins to keep them secure. I had previously used

all clothespins and wanted something different for the flat laces.

I could not use the circles for the ruffled laces, though.

It has taken up so much less space and I am

really happy with the way it turned out!

This is how the white and ivory laces are stored now.

 Here is now how I store the colored laces.

I used the Sizzix Circles #2 die to cut out the chipboard.

I used the largest one and the next largest one depending

 on the width of the lace I was wrapping.

Here is the lineup to check out all the designers 

organizational ideas!!
