Remember how I had a secret that I could not tell anyone? Well, here it is:
Introducing the new American Crafts Contributing Design Team 2010-2011!
I can’t believe I made the team! I am so excited! I’ll have to blog more later because right now I’m cropping at one of my favorite LSS, Scrapbook Territory.
Note: My blog format is set up for comments to be at the top of the post, so some of you are leaving comments for the blog hop on the previous post. Make sure you are leaving love on THIS post. I will remind you again at the bottom.
Are you here for the Zutter blog hop?! … If so, welcome to my blog! It’s good to have Zutter fans stop by! Feel free to browse around for inspiration if you would like.
Hoppity hop hop go the Zutter Zisters! Zutter is hosting a fun blog hop with a handful of giveaways! …and because I am a Zutter Zister, I wanted to pass on some inspiration to get you in the Zutter mood.
I’m a big fan of Zutter’s white owires! Hmmm, what gave that one away?! 
If you’re not a fan of white owires like me, did you know that they come in a handful of different colors?! Some of these colors are black, baby blue, pink, antique silver, and antique brass. On top of the various colors, there are different owire sizes for all of your binding needs! Check out the wire product page to get all the details.
I’m also a fan of Zutter’s Round-it-All. I use it for every corner that I want rounded. …and did you know it comes in two sizes — 1/2″ and 1/4″? It works on just about everything I have tried it on. It punches through stacks of papers, chipboard, cardboard, clipboard, metal, acrylic, etc. You name it, and I’m sure it’ll punch right through it.
I’m also a fan of Zutter’s cover-alls and inner pages! The cover-alls come in an array of sizes and colors, too. Below, one of my inner pages worked as a mat for my photo. Pretty clever, don’t you think?! Oh, and there’s a great shot of how the round-it-all rounded my corners!
Did you know that you can use the Dreamkuts to create your own inner pages?! You have the option to cut whatever paper you want. On top of that, you have the option to switch up the cuts to different sizes. For me, the Dreamkuts works magic when I teach classes or host make and takes! It seriously saves me so much time. Here’s a video of it in action:
So, what do you think?! Do you feel inspired to bust out your Zutter products?! If so, then I have accomplished my goal for this blog hop!
Remember to leave a comment telling me you love Zutter, and you will be eligible to win a package of antique brass hang-it-alls, a package of antique silver hang-it-alls, and a Rivet Hammer/Setter Set. You have until the evening of March 29th, Monday, to leave a comment!
Make sure to visit my fellow Zutter Zisters because their blogs are loaded with inspiration today. All of us are giving away prizes, so there will be a winner on every blog! In case you get lost along the way, here’s a list of the Zutter Zisters:

One night at Scrapbook Territory, the plans for Texas were being finalized! Suzy and I were so excited about the trip that we had our friend, Lonae, take some photos of us being crazy! A couple of them turned out slightly blurry, but I still wanted to share them. They are too fun to not post! Here are a couple of pictures that were taken:
I thought these photos show off who we really are — CRAZY (and creative), of course!
I finished a layout using some cute stuff from Jillibean Soup. The colors to these papers are totally screamin’ my name, wouldn’t you say?!
I’m not much of a stamper, but I decided to give it a go. Besides, my ink and stamp collection are feeling desolate nowadays. Here’s a card I created using The Girls’ Paperie leftovers and a Technique Tuesday stamp:
Ever since Gloria bought me this as a gift (perhaps because she was getting sick of finding glitter on the floor and on the dogs’ paws, hehe):
I have been playing with the messy good stuff – - glitter, flock, embossing powder, beads, etc. In the above card, I glittered the “thanks”. The glitter definitely added that extra flair that I was looking for!
Don’t forget that tomorrow, March 26th, the Zutter Zisters are hosting a blog hop! We will all be giving away some of the latest from CHA on each of our individual blogs, so don’t forget to head back here on Friday.
Lastly, does anybody have unwanted Legos lying around their house? I’ll be more than happy to take them off of your hands. I’ll buy them from you if you don’t want to give them away. …or does anyone know where I can find someone who is selling their lot of Legos for a decent price?
Please let me know.
I will catch you all later!
PS: For you. Oh, and a picture of the critters doing what they do best – being cute!
