2 Excitements In 1 Day!

Today was an AWESOME day! First I got to spend the morning with my friend Liz helping her put together a display board for her presentation she had to give in class this afternoon! We had so much fun playing with my Cricut and getting her board to be just perfect!

Also this morning I got an AWESOME package in the mail from Loreen at Wish On A Scrap...it was my Copics that I ordered! WOO-HOO! So this afternoon I ripped them open and started to color! I, of course, do not think I am good with them....but practice does make perfect.....so that means I will be coloring a lot!!! Here's a picture of my new babies....aren't they beautiful?:


Then I logged onto the Rockbottom Scrapbook Supplies yahoo group (which Loreen from Wish On a Scrap runs) and found out that I am the winner of the monthly contest kit! YAY! I am soooo excited! Each month Loreen hand picks a bunch of items and puts them into a kit for $25! You can see the kits here! She offers add ons (such as embellishments, papers, alters, inks, and stamps) which can be purchased also. This monthly kit is loaded with so many supplies it makes my head spin! You definitely get a GREAT deal with buying the kit....and the selection Loreen gets for us is HUGE! I love everything about it! Then after you get your monthly kit you just start creating and post your creations in the group.....and at the end of the month Loreen picks a winner to receive the next month's kit FREE! That means I AM GETTING AUGUST'S KIT FOR FREE!!!!!!! WOO-HOO!!!!!! Thanks again Loreen for making the group so much fun....you are the best!

Here are my creations that I submitted with July's kit contents:

First I made this card oraganizer/holder....let's just say when you need hemp twine and you don't have any.....you can improvise with ANYTHING laying around! I got some of my hubby's string from his work!


Then my second entry was a coaster flip out album!

I have a few blog candy alerts for you too....stop over by Kathy and Vicki to say hi for your chance to win their PIF candy!

My day was terrific...I hope everyone else enjoyed their day as much as I did!
