<span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">My
newest obsession is podcasts.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
subscribe to so many, but can really only listen to so many each week!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But I will list some of my favorite podcasts
and episodes.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">A
lot of my podcasts are comedy, true crime, movies or history.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Let’s face it, we all love true crime and I
didn’t pay attention much in high school history, so it’s educational!<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">But
currently I have just finished listening to “<a href="http://www.youmustrememberthispodcast.com/episodes/youmustrememberthispodcastblog/2015/5/26/charles-mansons-hollywood-part-1-what-we-talk-about-when-we-talk-about-the-manson-murders" target="_blank">Charles Manson’s Hollywood</a>” on “<a href="http://www.youmustrememberthispodcast.com/" target="_blank">YouMust Remember This</a>” podcast.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I cannot express
how good this series is.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">It’s
a 12 part series and it really gives A LOT of detail on this story.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was born after this happened, so I just
know the face value info on Charles Manson and what occurred.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This series gave me so much more insight and
provided so much detail that I was hooked and couldn’t wait to hear it all!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There were so many different people involved
as well and it gives a detailed history on all.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">I
give this a 5 star rating and recommend that <u>everyone</u> listen to this.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You will be surprised at all of the
background and history.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The creator of
this podcast/series does a wonderful job with the research and not leaving
anything out. It's available on ITunes and have included a direct link to the podcast website.</span><br />

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">I’m
going to change up my blog a bit and take it in a more diverse direction.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I really want to focus on those things that I
really enjoy and am using this blog to “make” myself do them more.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">I
want to read more, watch more documentaries and get my inventory up on my Etsy
site so I can earn more!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">I
have taken an embarrassingly long break from reading.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s something I really enjoy, but I have two
issues with it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>1) It takes me FOREVER
to pick my next book and 2) I don’t take the time to just sit and read
anymore.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So this blog is here to help
with both.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">I
will be reading <u>at least</u> one book a month.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>That’s not too hard of a goal to reach.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>It would be easy to squeeze in another or just start early on the next
month if I finish one quickly.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And to
help out with the choice of book right now, I am going to read books that
either have already become a movie or will become one in the near future.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This ties in my love of movies as well.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And I love seeing how a book is put to
life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>See if it’s the same as I pictured
in my head.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So far my experience with
this has been 50/50.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And of course, the
book is ALWAYS better.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">I
will be doing something I haven’t done before as well, which is go and read a
book <u>after</u> I have already seen the movie.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have not done this before and am not sure
if it will hinder my reading experience or just give me faces/places to go with
the narrative.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We will see.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">So
the first book I have read this year was “Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar
Children.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It has been said that this
will be a movie later this year.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">I
was intrigued by the cover and thought it would be a spooky ghost story type
and dove right in.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">The
book not spooky at all and did have a little “ghost story’ish” theme, but was a
more an interesting read learning about the characters and their history.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was a very fast read for me and didn’t
realize it was a YA book even.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So I
passed the book onto my daughter to read as well.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Trying to challenge her more with her chapter
books, this should help get her out of the more “easy” chapter books.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But still very easy for her to read and
understand.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">I
have to add that this book is the 1<sup>st</sup> of a series and there are 2
other books that follow.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Due to the
somewhat cliff hanger on this first book, I’m sure I will read the other 2
eventually.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">I’m
looking forward to the movie version of this because of all the interesting
characters and how they will be brought to life.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">Overall, I have given this book a 3 star rating on <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/" target="_blank">Goodreads</a>. It's good, but I wouldn't recommend to adult friends. But I would really recommend to a YA audience or for those who really enjoy YA books. You can read more about it <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/9460487-miss-peregrine-s-home-for-peculiar-children" target="_blank">here</a>.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">After all of the Oscar buzz and Brie Larson winning for best actress, this was a no brainer on my next book choice. I started it last night and I will update on my progress each week.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 18px;">I'm still trying to figure out a good crafting schedule for myself. I've been busy lately making baby items for 2 sister-n-laws who are having babies. One new niece was born last Thursday and the other niece will be born next month. I think I am done with making baby stuff and I can focus on some other stuff - like card making and scrapping!!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: medium;">Oh My Gosh! It has been forever since my last post. It could be a mix of things. Winter was super long and I kind of lost my crafty "mojo." And then once school let out and summer came on, we have been so busy. Oh well. Eventually, there will be a time when I will be able to sit in my craft room for days on end and craft up a storm. But until then, I will just be turning out cards every once in a while. I have been making cards over the last 6 months, I just haven't been putting on my blog!</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">My card today was inspired by one of my many "Pins." This is the inspiration card:</span></div>

<span style="font-size: medium;">I am a big fan of <a href="http://www.thealleywaystamps.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">The Alley Way Stamps</a> (TAWS). Their stamps are so my style, but I have yet to actually buy any of their sets (I have been using their digital "freebies"). I don't know why I haven't, so I am hoping that maybe I can win a set or two. So I have included TAWS onto my "short" list of challenges that I will participate in. I've got to win one of these times. But you can't win if you don't play. So here it goes:</span></div>

I think I did a pretty decent job. I focused in on the polka dots and not so much the mugs. Although I struggled pretty hard in trying to get a decent picture. It's cloudy and rainy here today, so I wasn't able to use the "natural light" that I usually do to get my shots. I think I may need to create an actual light box so I won't have this issue. But that takes time away from other "real" work, like making more cards!</div>

<span style="font-size: medium;">I absolutely LOVE sketches. I cannot create a card (or scrapbook page) without one. But there are so many out there and I want to do them all. But that is overwhelming, so I keep a file (on my computer) of my most favorites and use them as inspiration for the challenges I enter. That is why you will see me reference many "old" sketches in my posts. I don't enter any sketch challenges because it puts too much "pressure" on me to use that particular sketch and it hinders my creative mojo. I know that is weird, but that's my process!</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">So on to my next challenge. This is a cute kid card, which I don't have hardly enough of these in my stash. And I really should have a bunch. I'm at that age now where I have plenty of nieces and nephews to warrant a large supply!</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">

It's taken me some time to get used to my new full time work schedule, kids & family. But I think I have finally gotten some sort of rhythm down and can get back to some challenges. I have narrowed them down to only about 3 that I will consistently enter. So here is my "back on the wagon" entry for <a href="http://heart2heartchallenges.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">H2H</a> & <a href="http://redcarpetstudiochallenge.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">RCS</a>.<br />

I got a job, so I won't have as much time to "play around" during the day!! But I will still try to make at least a couple cards a week and try to enter some challenges. I really want to win some free stuff!! <br />
<br />
Here is what I was able to create. I stayed true to my goal of going through the <a href="http://operationwritehome.org/starsandstamps/" target="_blank">OWH</a> sketches. They are easy to use to get a good stash going. As I am trying to keep on top of mailing out ACTUAL Birthday cards to people and not just a generic wish on their Facebook page!!<br />

Very basic design and I was able to use the "You're My Type" stamp set from Stampin' Up. I really love this vintage typewriter. I like that this color scheme is masculine as well. I need more manly cards in my stash. They have birthdays too!</div>

I want to do them all, but do not have that kind of time. But I still want to challenge myself to create more cards and use all of the great products that I have. I am a sucker for a great (and easy) sketch to follow, so I have a plan of going through all of the <a href="http://operationwritehome.org/starsandstamps/" target="_blank">OWH</a> sketches. They are really basic sketches and they provide sizes!! Hooray!<br />
<br />
Along with using the OWH sketches I will follow the <a href="http://heart2heartchallenges.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">H2H</a> challenges and <a href="http://redcarpetstudiochallenge.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Red Carpet Studio</a>. And then I will sprinkle in others if they fit with what I am creating at the time. It is so hard to go minimal with the challenges, when I want so badly to cram in as many as I can. But I need to have time to take care of other things, like my family (drag!) LOL<br />
<br />
So here is my start with the OWH sketches. This one is <a href="http://www.owhstarsandstamps.org/2012/04/sketch-challenge-116.html" target="_blank">sketch 116</a>. My theme of the card goes with the challenge this week for H2H and for <a href="http://www.paperplaytime.blogspot.com/2013/04/ch-7-use-pun.html" target="_blank">Paper Playtime</a>, which is to make a card using a "pun".<br />

I used the stamp set "Howdy" from CTMH, which I borrowed from my very good friend <a href="http://heatherjanedesign.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Heather</a> (who is also a CTMH consultant). It's great to have friends to share stamps with. That way you have a super abundance of stamps to use and don't have to "buy" them all!</div>

You know the ones that look cool, but you can't seem to find a way to use them. So the sketch this week from <a href="http://seizethebirthday.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank">Seize the Birthday</a> was a perfect way to use up some "special" paper.<br />
<br />
I have tried using this paper before, but it was so bold, it "didn't work well with others." So this CAS sketch was perfect. The paper was able to be the star of the show and not compete with anything else. The other challenge this week was for it to be a masculine birthday. Well I think that black, orange and white seem to be "fairly" masculine!<br />

They asked for you to use a <a href="http://heart2heartchallenges.blogspot.com/2013/03/we-mustache-you-to-join.html" target="_blank">moustache</a> in your creation. I know they are all the rage right now, but I have not gotten into them at all. So I was at a real block on what I was going to do and where am I going to find a moustache? Well that part was easy, there is a cut file on the new Cricut Artiste cartridge. So that problem was solved, but now what to do with it?<br />
<br />
I surfed the interweb and found a super cute idea from a greeting card company, so I "lifted" the idea and here is what I made!<br />

The challenge is to create a layout using ribbon. Easy enough. I'm pretty basic with my usage of ribbon in my layouts. I use as accents and not to frilly.<br />
<br />

I added the two pieces of ribbon (on the left) to add a little more detail and interest to the page. These are pictures of my daughter when she was 7 months old!<br />

I like the fact that this is a brand specific challenge, because it will force me to use certain products. So I thought I would finally enter a project since they are doing a "special" drawing for "newbies." <br />
<br />
So here is my stab at one of the challenges for the month: <a href="http://heart2heartchallenges.blogspot.com/2013/03/go-green.html" target="_blank">GO Green</a><br />

Things got really busy around here and I think I was trying to do too many challenges before. So now I am going to ease my way back into things. And I came across a fabulous challenge site that I fell in love with, <a href="http://redcarpetstudiochallenge.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Red Carpet Studios</a>. They feature weekly challenges with a "movie" theme. Well I am a sucker for movies and thought this was right up my alley.<br />
<br />
The theme this week is the movie "Leprechaun", and we are to create a card using two shades of green.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I have been noticing now that it's spring, a lot of the card challenges are asking for themes of "April Showers" or "Umbrella". I don't have anything with that even among my Cricut cartridges I wasn't seeing anything that might fit. But I'm not sure I would buy anything with this theme either. Anyhow, I do have my trusty box of leftover card fronts just waiting to be "up-cycled" into something new and found this cute little image. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Once I got the card together, I had no idea what type of card this would serve purpose for. Too dark for a Birthday and not cheerful enough for a Get Well. And I don't have a sister that this might work for either. So I just decided to throw a Thank You on it and call it a day!</div>

They are so "simple", and straight to the point. Plus you can use these sketches over and over and can look different each time! This sketch is going in "The Book"! (I keep a binder of favorite "Go To" sketches.)<br />

Turned out okay. I got that bunny cut from an old Easter card, I just cut him out and he fit great on the page! I had that Egg paper forever and knew that I had to fit on an Easter page somehow! I had to make all the other elements on the page more prominent to make up for the size of the picture I had. We didn't get very good pictures that day as Andrew was NOT liking the Easter Bunny and my daughter Grace was not that impressed with him either.<br />

Please don't judge me based on the date of the actual event! I am not a "current" scrapper. In fact I had those letters cut a long time before I even put the page together.<br />

I bought this set about a month or so ago and it's been calling my name! There's several others in this set that are just waiting to be inked!<br />
I thought this would be a great image to try out the "spotlight" technique. Not sure if I did completely right, but I like it anyway!!<br />

I am going to school full time right now and have 5 classes this semester. Well, I have exams in 4 of them this week! YIKES! So I have had to spend the last few days getting some serious studying done. <br />
So I am caught up and am ready to get back to some crafting!<br />
<br />
This was a really simple card and I am always in need of anniversary cards in my stash.<br />

Stamp used was an old single wood block "Happy Anniversary" stamp. I have no idea who made as the brand name is not printed on the block. But this is my favorite anniversary stamp that I have!<br />

The set is from CTMH called "A Hop". It has the cutest bunny that I had to have. So I'm glad that I will have plenty of time during this Easter season to be able to use it.<br />
