Creativity doesn't carry.....

So for me creativity doesn't carry over into all crafts......

I got one of those pre-baked gingerbread houses from M's, thinking this looks easy enough. Even on the box it says easy to assemble...... WRONG! WRONG! WRONG!

I spent 2 hours trying to get it together..... woke up and the darn roof had fallen off!! After getting that back on I proceed to decorate. This is how it turned out.......

While kinda cute I don't think I will try to make one ever again!!

I got an award!!

Now for a couple of cards I made..........

The first one I started with an idea an of course it didn't work out right so this is what I ended up with.......
Just a very plain card, but kinda cute.

After that I guess I got back into the creative mood and came up with this card.......
Way better than the first.....but since they are both for BRAK I have a jump both December and January done!! Yay me!!
Now lets hope I can stay a step ahead!!
Thanks for looking!

Smilebox

A few weeks ago Alex posted a thing about smilebox........ well I tried it and am now in love!!
Here is my first "creation".

Make a Smilebox scrapbook

While I don't think it will replace my papercrafting it sure is a lot faster...... Now maybe my parents won't keep asking "Where are all the pictures?"
Thanks for looking!

A big thank you!!

Here is a pic of all the birthday cards I received.
I would like to say thanks to all of you for making my day special!!
