Cork Meets Plaid Alpha

I am really enjoying the comments that I am reading lately. Here's a few responses from the elements comments.

Kel: Where we live if they even "think" it's going to snow schools close! Funny, huh.

Ajila: Thanks for the kind comments you faithfully leave me. I do try to make my elements different and unique from others.

Michele: I just finished your kit and will start it next week!

KrisG: Thanks so much for the push pin tutorials. I looked at both of them. I am a "pack rat" when it comes to tutorials also.

lovetocraftbetty: Thank you for your faithful comments each time. I read every one of them.

Brenda: It is amazing to think of Florida as being cold.

Christelle from South Africa: I remember visiting your blog with all those beautiful Rome photos.

Cindy from Ohio: You might want to check out my Montana kit also.

I know I'm leaving some comments out but I don't want to write a book. Please know that I appreciate every comment that I receive. Now, I leave you with the alpha. Have a great weekend and I'll be back on Monday with another new kit.

Cork Meets Plaid Elements

Here are the elements for the Cork Meets Plaid kit. The first element that I made was a corkboard. Other "office-type" elements followed. I'm not too happy with the pushpins. I've seen better ones out there but I'm not sure how to make them. I really am still new at this designing. I hope you can use these. The alpha comes tomorrow. Have a warm day!

Cork Meets Plaid Papers 2

I was "visiting" Eila from Montana yesterday. She has a challenge for all of us that is very simple to do and will not cost you any money but will help lots of people in need. This is it:

Paste this link as your home page. It is The Hunger Site. All you have to do is click on it once a day and money will be donated for the hungry. Too good to be true. That's what Eila thought too, so she looked it up on Snopes. It is true. Apparently sponsors donate depending on how many clicks the site gets. So, come and take the challenge with me and make The Hunger Site your home page and click on it once a day. That's all you need to do. More than once a day doesn't count. Make it your home page so you won't forget to do it everyday. Thanks, Eila!

Now, who is ready for more Cork Meets Plaid papers? Here is the second set. Oh, I wanted to say that I have really enjoyed seeing where everyone is from. If you haven't done so yet, let me know where you are from.

Cork Meets Plaid Papers 1

I've been wanting a Wii Fit since before Christmas but everywhere I go they are always sold out. Well, last night my hubby finally was able to find one at Circuit City. I'm not very good at balance but I can hoola-hoop! It's fun!

Here's the first set of papers for you. I've been wanting to do a kit with cork so I scanned some cork that I found around the house, turned it into a pattern, and voila! --cork paper! I hope you have a great day today wherever you may be in this world!

Hey, let's try something new today. When (yes, when . . . I'm thinking positive here) you leave me a comment, let me know where you are from-- your state if you're from the US and your country if you're from outside the US.

Cork Meets Plaid Preview

My daughter did end up competing at her gymnastics meet this weekend. She got 2 bronze metals and 1 silver. We are very proud of her. She is only 10 years old but these little girls compete on all 4 events, just like the Olympics. The bad thing is my camera is on the fritz! My hubby takes the camcorder and we did get video but no stills.

Here is a sneak preview of the new kit that I am starting tomorrow. It's called "Cork Meets Plaid".
