ScrapPerfections!

Hi! My name is Carli Kirkwood, and I'm Mommy to 5 beautiful children and Wife to a wonderful man. We are busy with homeschooling, sports, and I work a part-time outside of the home job. I've been scrapping/stamping/ and papercrafting for about 13 years now. I've always dreamed of being published or winning a contest, or even being recognized. I've decided that dreaming is fun, but it's time to take action. I have decided to MAKE spare time for myself to work on these things. Waiting for spare time to "happen" is not a reality. You're probably already aware of that, but it's taken me a long time to learn...

So, Yeah!! This is my first blog post...I love to papercraft!! Like I said, I'm sick and tired of saying someday....so here I am, diving in with both feet. I happened upon a blog, which I love, it is My Time, My Creations, My Stampendous. http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/index.php Lauren Meader is so talented. So anyway, she has posted a sketch challenge (which I love doing) and a call for more sketch designers. So now I take the plunge:

It's a darling notepad holder complete with sticky notes, pencil and fun quotes. All this closes up and is held under a very cute 5"x7 " clipboard. I just love it!

Here is the original sketch:

I hope you like...I had a lot of fun making it...it's now in hiding for one of my dd's; they are both avid fastpitch players!!
