I loved my Gram…

April 11, 2009 By JulieK

I lost my Gram this morning… She was 97 and I think the spunkiest person I've ever known… She would always let you know exactly what she was thinking it, when she was thinking it (OK, so this isn't always the best thing :) Especially when you're walking through Walmart, and Gram tells you EXACTLY what she thinks of the outfit of the person standing in front of you in line… But, afterall, she was only saying what I was thinking :) ) She's had a very difficult year, and I know that she is finally at peace and happy… Up until last spring, I always said that she was sharper than me… She had an incredible life, and I'm so glad I was a part of it… But I am incredibly sad… She's a pretty special lady…

This is a pic of Gram with the kids, it was taken in 2007, but the quickest one I could find this morning…

Here's the card that I created this week for the www.funfrilled.blogspot.com blog, this week's theme was "April Fools" and I have to admit I was a little bit stumped, but finally came up with this little card :) Check out the awesome work this week by the other ladies at the blog… And there's a HUGE give-away this month as well… I only have one more week as a guest, and I'll be very sad when my "guesting" is over!!! They couldn't be a nicer group of ladies!! www.funfrilled.blogspot.com

Bind it All Challenge…

March 21, 2009 By JulieK

There's a new challenge posted on the Bind it All Blog!!! Super fun challenge, and fabulous prize!!! See it HERE on the Bind it All Blog!!

Also… My first 10 projects are en route to QuicKutz :) I'm a nervous wreck!!! I sooo hope that they will like them… It's so exciting, but I can't share them until the shape release this coming week :) I can share my very first Silhouette project though :) This fun card was featured on the www.funfrilled.blogspot.com challenge blog last Tuesday… I used a font from my computer (Harrington) and added an "offset" to create the border around the title… I also used many of the shapes that came with the Silhouette…
