storm after storm after storm *edited*

Ack! The storm woke me up, and I can’t fall back asleep, so I decided to write.

It’s been raining nonstop over here, but I guess I can’t complain considering there are people who have to brave the snow on a daily basis. Anyway, there’s supposed to be a series of storms headed towards California. I don’t mind the rain at all. As a matter of fact, I LOVE it! The sound of the rain is actually quite soothing. Maui and Hilo are completely frustrated by it though; they didn’t really get a chance to stick their face out the window on our daily errand run yesterday.

"The rain is not nice; it won't let me stick my head out the window!"

…and because it’s running cats and dogs over here, I finally finished making cards with leftover Hambly products that Memories Live On wanted me to create for their CHA Supershow booth. Oh, the joys of leftover scraps!

…and here’s a layout I made just for fun. I love all the bright and vivid colors on this one!

Oh, and I finally had the chance to draw a random winner for my giveaway last week. If you aren’t the winner this time, no worries! I do giveaways ALL THE TIME, so you’re bound to win sooner or later, right?

…and the winner is Melissa! To claim your prize, please email me at redoaklines[at]gmail[dot]com, and I’ll ship a package filled with tons of scrappy goodness.

Last but not least, remember that sketch I posted not to long ago? This one:

Antonia was so kind enough to share her take on my sketch! Isn’t this stunning?! *nods head*

Feel free to “jack” my sketches. I don’t mind at all. I use them to inspire me when I’m in a scrapbooking rut, so I thought why not share them with everyone else. To see more of them, click here! …and if you do use them, I want to see your work!

Speaking of sketches, head on over to Imaginisce! There’s some fun stuff brewing up over there.

If you’re going to be in Southern California, Jan 23rd, make sure to hit up the World’s Largest Crop Attempt. It’s going to be fun and filled with a bunch of giveaways! I know that Zutter is hosting a giveaway, and one of my projects will be in their giveaway basket. Yay!

Off to fall back asleep with the sound of the rain.
