Happy Monday, friends! Did you have a good weekend? I enjoyed time with my family and an awesome shopping trip with my sister-in-law. Good times.
Today I am all about finding time to make something! I have a challenge up on the Scrapbook & Cards, Today blog. Go HEREto read about it and play along!! The gist of it is save your scraps and make something from it. You are going to see a lot of talk about Upcycling your paper/technique waste here. I save my pretty bits...it encourages time saving and earth friendly crafting. Here is what I will be working with...
I will post my finished project on Wednesday. I love a good challenge! How about you? Are you going to play along?
Did you get a copy of Cardmaps, Today last year? Did you love it? I sure did! I love sketches and this one was full of card sketches and tons of beautiful inspiration! Well guess what!?!? CardMaps 2 is coming!!! And you can pre-order it HERE. It will start shipping on March 16th.
How about a little info...
CardMaps Today 2 is just about ready to hit store shelves! With 45 brand new, never-before-seen card sketches by Becky Fleck of PageMaps, CardMaps Today 2 includes 80 beautifully-designed cards by 15 talented cardmakers all with instructions! New to CardMaps Today 2 are eight trend-setting techniques featured in photographed step-outs! This limited-edition, special issue is a must for all cardmakers!

This would come in handy since my gf and I are making cards to donate to the Animal Clinic. The money that is made from donations for these cards go to help with the spaying of Ferrel cats. We could use some great new ideas.

I would love to win a copy... would be great to get into card making to use up my big bag of scrapping leftovers (lots of abandoned bits and pieces). Thanks for the chance to win :)

Page Maps are on my wishlist, too, Going to try the challenge as I have lots of paper scraps and odds & ends that could be used after a 3 week frenzy of making pages to use up my supply of old papers so I had a reason to buy the new papers. Thanks for the giveaway, I need some fresh ideas for card making for my friends & me during the summer when we get together to make our fall and holiday cards. Have a great day. We've got another day of rain in the Pacific Northwest, so I'm going to play with my scraps.
