Good Bye 2013!

I'm not sure if anyone other than my Mom noticed my lack of posts for this month.  It has been a crazy, whirlwind of a month.  I was trying to figure out a way to get my mojo going again & I did a wild & crazy thing... a go BIG kinda thing...  I joined the 100 cards in 100 days on SCS!!!!  I know!  Crazy!  Especially when I realized that we have several out of state archery shoots during that time... Vegas, KY, Texas A&M, AZ!!!  Plus the shoots in state... Indoor 4-H, Sooner State Games, Southern Sectional, Indoor JOAD, to name a few + team practices & nightly practices.... ACK!!!!  Crazy!!!!  But, I'm going to give it my best shot.  I'm hoping to use up some of my stash of DP & get some forgotten stamps inky.

Good-bye 2013...

Prayers for You

HYCCT1324 Under Wraps

I'm still working on trying to finish up the HYCCT challenges.  I didn't think about taking a picture before I started.  So, I was mid project before I thought about it.  I have had this beautiful  spiral notebook for some time.  When I saw Sheri's challenge, I knew I would use this notebook.  My washi tape was too thin to cover up the bold pattern.  So, I painted the cover with some Apple Barrel paint.  Once it was dry, I covered it with washi tape.  And then added some black grosgrain on the side to cover up the edge of my washi tape.

Here is what the front cover looks like finished:

MUCH better!!!!   And with the washi tape, it was super easy!
