Chalkboard technique - cool!!

New CB folders!!


Hoooray for new cuttlebug folders!! There are soooo many that I would like to get.

Let's see, the argyle folder, a Christmas ornament folder, a distressed lines folder and five borders! Woo Woo, will post some samples as I use them all :)

See no evil...


I must admit it, I am one of "those" people who just love the new sock monkey set from Stampin Up! I have been scouring SCS looking for samples and ideas, love it love it love it.
