OPEN DT CALL!!


Yup, the cat's out of the bag! Denise is opening an online store and I am her partner in crime or in creating I guess I should say!!
See below for more information!!


2 Sassy Scrappers came from some brainstorming between Denise and me (AJ) over the phone. We are online friends that met face to face for the first time in October of 2006 (after chatting for several years) and our families actually spent Thanksgiving together! We both love scrapbooking and all that it encompasses. Denise is the owner of this brainchild of ours and I get to be in charge of the design team end. We truly are a fun loving, easy going pair and we cannot wait to meet all of you. FYI, the store (www.2sassyscrappers.com) is currently under construction, but we are gearing up for our grand opening later this spring.


We are currently looking for 8 Design Team members. Four of these new members will be working with us for a 6 month term (April 07-October 07) and the other four will be working with us for a one year term (April 07-April 08). 2 Sassy Scrappers is a new site and we want to start off with a dedicated, fun loving, hard working, and friendly team of designers.

Week 6 of the Deck of Me!


This week's prompt was "LOVE". I found this quote and really liked it, "A loving heart is the truest wisdom." It is accredited to Charles Dickens.
Sorry about the crooked scan... John was attempting to help me scan today and well... it is all cockeyed now! LOL

Deck of Me, Week 5

Emily's prompt for us this week was: use some ephemera from your week.

I oops'd though... I didn't use ephemera from THIS week... I used some from last fall. Oh well, but this tag meant a lot to me... it was from my first trip away from my family for any amount of time. I trekked to VA to meet up w/ some MB Friends and was gone for almost a week!

So, here we go (btw, the rhinestones aren't clear... they are actually pink!):

Each month, I host a sketch challenge for a bunch of friends and I figured I might as well start sharing those sketches and samples here.

What do you think of when you think of February? A heart... so that is the focal point of this sketch! So, w/o any further ado here is the sketch for February '07...


Please disregard the blue-ish tint in my photo... I need to get a new ink cartridge for my printer, but I was planning on replacing the pic w/ an actual printed one later on anyhow. Oh and sorry about the wonky warp in the scanned LO... not sure what is up w/ that one!
