ScrapChicks Card Challenge #1

This month over at ScrapChicks we're having a ton of card challenges! There are some fun sketches and great topics to make cards for, it's SUPER fun. This was for challenge #1 which was to make a Birthday card. I finished my first card for it tonight, and got to kill 2 birds with one stone, I got Aaron's card made for his birthday!! :)

Here it is ...

Thanks for looking!!

Finished Baby Throw

I finally finished the baby blanket!! This was the first time trying out this pattern. When I got done I felt like it was missing something so I added a border and a star :) I'm super happy how it turned out. It measured 24"x24" before the border so it's probably 25"x25"

Thanks for looking :)

Baby blanket!

My newest crochet project is another baby blanket for a shower I'm attending this weekend. It's a new stitch I'm trying and it's coming along very quickly! It will have (5) blue 8x8 squares and (4) white 8x8 squares alternating and stitched together

Here is what it's going to look like (mine is obviously blue & white)

Here's a small sample of mine so far

Nothing Exciting

Well I decided that I'd post an update on my blog since I haven't updated in a while. Nothing new is going on here, it's Rangers baseball season so that's what my life is based around! :) Either going to games (we have 1/2 season tickets) or watching them on TV.

I haven't been able to do any scrapping lately because we've been so busy! I am hoping to get a little bit in this upcoming long holiday weekend! We'll see if that happens!

I'm so super duper sad, one of my scrapbook forums www.scrapchicks.com is closing down :( I'm going to miss the daily chats with my chicks and the AWESOME inspiration around there, but I'm going to keep in touch with all of them either thru facebook or my other forums (Sassy Lil Sketches) but it's still sad to see a place that I called home go. Shannon (the owner) is a really good family friend of mine and she's moving onto bigger and better, she's going into newborn photography so we all wish her the best of luck!! Love you momma chick!!

As for my followers, you can find me on Sassy Lil Sketches, both as a member and a design team member!! :)

10 on 10

 I've heard about this project from a few of my friends and was going to give it a try last month and completely forgot about it :( so when I was at my retreat this past weekend one of my girlfriends mentioned "Hey tuesday is the next 10 on 10, you gonna do it?" so I set a reminder in my cell phone to participate this month!

For those of you who don't know about the 10 on 10 project you can check it out HERE!!
