Birthday Count Down { 3 MORE DAYS! } Sneak #8...who likes to mix things up a bit?




Well...we are almost there!!!! ...and it just keeps getting better with LT! :)


I have a challenge for you all...you don't have a lot of time to do this, but this is an easy one that will be a cake walk for all your LT fans. I would LOVE to see you create something using a mixture of past/current kits. It can be a card, or LO...or anything at all that you are inspired to do for this challenge. When you are done, be sure to post a link of your creation here in this blog comment section...and a lucky winner will get this AWESOME LT RAK (12 American Craft Thickers) ! xo

Deadline for this challenge is 07/14/09 by 6:00pm PST...be sure to post your link to your creation in the comment section here too! xo
I am totally in this birthday mood this month...and this is what I created for this challenge:
I used one of the packing labels that came with one of my kits with this too...I love saving these bits and pieces from each kit to use some way. This was just what I needed for this card. :)





Now...as a member of this FABULOUS team...I get to share a little bit more of me with you all by answering these fun questions below. :)
1. If I could be in any infomercial, I would pick (product name), because:
Bare Minerals...because I LOVE this products! :)

2. If I could be any character from a movie, I would be ______ from ______, because:
Satine...from the Moulin Rouge...because I LOVE Nicole Kidman's character and LOVE to sing and think this would be such a FUN movie to be in.
3. If my life story was to be written as a novel, the title would be:
Me...trasparently, an open book for all to see and know.
4. I always wanted to be a:
Mom...it's really the one thing I can remember wanting to be ALL my life for as long as I can remember wanting to be.

5. If I can only give my children one piece of advice, it would be:
To let your passions guide you in life, what you LOVE to do, you will be naturally good at and succeed in it...and you will never tire from doing what you LOVE to do.

6. Three things I want very badly at the moment are:
My kids with me always
Canon 50D
A new Lens for my camera

7. What is your process for creating layouts as you receive Labe Tulip kit? Do you start with photos, paper, a sketch, or something else?
I would have to say, I print my photographs and start from there. They inspire me the most when I sit down to create. :)


8. I had the BEST time creating this layout using Label Tulip kit:



9. Show us your sneaks for Label Tulip's July kit!
Sneak of add on kit:



If you all didn't already know...I LOVE stamps! I have a fetish for stamps...and have 400+ stamps...so having them close and easy to access is super important to me. I store all my acrylic stamps in CD cases...and foam stamps in plastic tool box drawers that I hang on the wall.


Here is what they look like...

Foam stamp storage:




...and here is my clear stamp storage...I have 6 of these full of stamps:
