{Raks}

Well, Friday was a wonderful mail/package day for me. At the PO I received 2 wonderful RAKS from some wonderful stampers. Mr. Brown brought me some new ribbon and paper, and the FedEx gal brought a new Glass Lid for my PC skillet that I won - Free!! YES!!

So these are the 2 RAKS. The first one, Happy Everything is from April Hall. She is one of my SBS3 Sisters! Thanks April!!

The second is form Tanya (orangegymnut on SCS). She is a great friend from the Bella Group. In addition to the awesome card, I got some SavvyShoppabella images. Sweet!!




So I of course, got straight to work with them. I decided to pay it forward and send some RAKS as well. So these are going out to some Bella Sistahz today.

This first one, I wanted to try the kickstand card, that was the Sketch of the week over at the main SCS forum. I think it needed something else, but I left it alone.

Then this one, I used some of my new paper I got Friday. It's from Basic Grey and I got the matching ribbons too.


I love the Sleek look of this card. And if you look close, you can see where McKinley helped me and wrote across the bottom....well, resourceful me, just used a flower to cover it! LOL... The recipient will understand I am sure!!

ETA - Cassandra posted that she thought it looked like a Sidewalk where Mc had drawn on my Bella. I think so too, now that I look at it. Thanks Cassandra. I should've known that Mc had talent like her mom. J/K



And finally, for an expecting Bella Sistah - I used Teddybella. And more new papers...these are from WRMemory Keepers, the White out line. Super fun. And the matching Ribbons rock!! So feminine!!

SBS3 - RAK LIST & Secret Sister

Hey Bloggin' Sistahz!! I have been thinking about a RAK list and possibly a Secret Sister Club with this new Sisterhood of Blogging Stampers.

ETA - Just an update...I have to hear back from 13 of our Sistahz still. I sent out requests for info and I am sorry of I sent it twice. I got confused!! LOL..

Anyway, I'll leave this at top until Friday now and hope to hear from them!

First off, I want to do the RAK list - if you want to be on the RAK list, send me an email at jstaskif@ttc-cmc.net along with your Full Name, Address and Birthday. I'll compile the list and get it out to you.

For the Secret Sister Swap - How about No Shopping...just a simple card a couple times a month to get to know each other. You could swap images or something like that, but nothing more than the cost to mail it. If you would like that, please mention that in your email. I'll send you a certain Sister to send to for 2 months and then we will re-swap.

I'll leave this at the top of my blog until Wednesday when I'll compile the lists and email them back out. I'll also assign your Sistahz then as well.

This is only for SBS3 sisters too. Just a better way to get to know each other!

Tidbits

I promise I am coming with more cards, but I've haven't been able to get on today!! Isn't that so stinkin' frustrating!! LOL...

First, if you are interested in the Sisterhood of Blogging Stampers, you need to sign up here. They are starting group 4 - but guess who is keeping a watchful eye on Group 3? Mwah! Yeah Me!! {I watch too much Disney TV}

OK, I am coming back with more creations!!

SisterHood of Blogging Stampers

I have joined up at the Sisterhood of Blogging Stampers and am super excited to meet the new crafters!!

So I wanted to post for those who are coming over here from there.

My name is Katie, I'm a crafter of all sorts. I grew up working on wood projects in the shop, and loved painting the projects. I also have some very crude scrapbooks from high school, but I really jumped in just before our oldest was born. I scrapbooked every picture I took of him!! I soon discovered stamping too and love the creative outlets of both. I also like to sew, quilt some, and paint. But mostly it's papercrafts that I work on now.

I am a mom to three kids, David will be 8, RC is 5 and McKinley is 16 months today! All three keep me busy and on my toes. I am married to my best friend Greg and together we are fun lil family. My craft room is my Oasis from the daily bores and chores.

I also have only a handfull of friends who appreciate the crafts I create and that is the reason I love the Internet and now blogging. Thanks for stopping by and I hope to get to know all the Sistahz better!!
