Good morning! I have art journal on the brain. I found this cool challenge at 2Ps & have been thinking about it ever since. Here is the link to the ArT ChAlLeNgE if you are interested. Below is my title page that I made last night. I used a line from a song by Lauren HIll called I get out. Love that song! Shoot, I love Lauryn Hill music. Thanks for looking.

Hi guys!! Some of the auctions for the cure have been listed on Ebay, including a signed copy of Heidi Swapp's Love Your Writing Book!!! CLick HERE to see these auctions. Many, Many more will be listed soon! Here is a preview of just a few!! Thanks for looking!!

Scrap & Shop for the CURE

Help join the fight against Breast cancer. During the month of October www.scrapbooksupplystore.com will have a number of exciting contests and fundraising events to raise money toward breast cancer research. All funds raised will be donated to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation (bcrfcure.org). Above {follow the link} you will find some great ways you can help out and have fun at the same time. They will donate 10% of all gross receipts on all orders placed the week of 10/21/05 through 10/28/05. In addition they will donate 100% of the profits on all bracelets ordered in October.

Check out the charity auction especially!! All of the designers {including myself} have created projects, layouts & cards that anyone can bid for & buy.

I hope you will check it out. It matters. It's important!!

Is it really Tuesday already?! WHere does the time go!!

We had a very busy weekend around here: lots & lots of guests, cooking, family time..., but not much creating time. I'm feeling it too. Seems like I need studio time just like I need sleep to be ok. I'm sure you all know what I mean.

So... what to work on next ... I have layout in process, 3 sets of ATCs, & an article to write..LOL..we'll have to see which one get my attention first.

These are the last ATc's that I did for a swap at 2Peas. I used transparencies, fabric, textured paper from Fibermark { http://www.scrapbooking.fibermark.com/ }, rubber stamps from ScrappingArts Elements { http://www.scrappingarts.com }, lots of Pebbles Inc., Junkits paper & Ranger & Stazon INk.

If you are reading this & you make Artist Trading Cards, do you feel like swapping them? Send me an email { alecia.grimm@freedomlink.net } or post me a comment if you would like to join one. I want to put a list together of other Artists & then we can do swaps every once in a while. Anyone interested?

What time zone does this blog think I live in? I wish it was 9.30 am!

ok...so it is tomorrow..and i still haven't written anything on my blog. LOL! I did put 1 link though & edited my profile. I guess that's something.

I've been on the fence about creating a blog for months .. . I woke up this morning with a compulsion to get started .. so here we go....
