About Me

My photo
Welcome. My name is Lisa and I live on a farm in Northeastern PA. I have a wonderful husband of over 30 years and two fabulous sons. One with a wonderful wife and another with a wonderful girlfriend. I have a 6 year old granddaughter and an 4 year old grandson. We have a dog, two cats, and 5 horses. I started into this art as a possible scrapbooker until my good friend Lou Ann (SCS Crooked Stamper) invited me to a Stampin' Up party. Now I'm hooked. We had to turn a room of our home into a craft room for all my stuff. Then I needed a second craft room and did classes. Then I decided to open an in home store using three more rooms of our home. Between Lou Ann (Crafter and IT department) and Mary Ann (Crafter and Jewelry department) and a few other friends, I'm having the time of my life!!!!

VLVSep2012 Mercies

     Happy Saturday!  It's raining (or should I say pouring) in our little corner of NEPA.  But that's OK because I'm playing with my cards anyway.  Today I did the first of the Viva la Verve Sept Challenge from Verve aka VLVSep2012.  It's a great sketch by Amber Hight. 
     Where my last card had so little variety of products, this one is across the board.  It's a square card then I decided to rotate on it's side.  




      Nothing really noteworthy.  Just cutting squares and die cutting circles, but I did do a Memory Box die and used my SU butterfly stamps and punch for the first time (the punch was only for the Monarch butterfly) I embossed the butterflies and used Tim Holtz Distress Ink for the wings.
