I'm really excited to share some news.  I have been asked to join the design team that I was interviewing for! This is my first time being part of a design team and I'm looking forward to being challenged creatively.  I can sometimes get stuck in a bit of a rutt and this will definitely help me stretch.  I'm looking forward to seeing what all the members of the design team come up with.  Please check out the shop at tickletrunkmemories.ca and check out the other design team members blogs.  The links are on the right.  Congratulations all.  Yahoo!!

Welcome one and all!  This is my first time doing a blog so I ask that you bear with me while I figure this all out.  I am a crafter and have recently opened up an Etsy store (check out my links).  I love all kinds of crafts, but have been really into scrapbooking and card making lately.  I am "interviewing" to be on a design team for an online scrapbook store and one of the requirements is to have a personal blog.  So here goes!! 

I will start by posting a few samples of the cards I have made.  My style leans toward more simple designs and not a lot of embelishments.  This design was inspired by the paper but most importantly was made for a good friend who is going to Paris in the spring.

This is another set of cards that I made from a paper pad that I got from a friend a couple years ago, but finally had time to do something with.  The colors are so rich and the butterflies are one of my favorite things.  I also found a Cricut cartridge named Ornamental Iron that I used for the scroll work.  Such a beautiful detail to be able to add to any card.
