Trendy Award

 I was blessed today by Sheila from She's a Sassy Lady.  She "paid if forward" and gave me this nice award.
I am a relatively new blogger in this sea of scrapbooking inspiration.  I enjoy blogging and posting what I make but I really enjoy looking at all the wonderful blogs like She's a Sassy Lady.

Rules:
Pass this on to 10 other blogs
From Sheila: I am going to add another rule because the whole purpose of these blog awards is to award to someone but then to learn a little more about them..... soooo. I will start and expect you to:
Give two reasons why you started blogging and then tell me why you continued.
My two reasons.

1. To creatively share my favorite pictures during special times.
2. I took a little break ( 5yrs or so) but when I had my children, I started back up again.  I've done 12 scrapbooks for me and about 10 for gifts.  I love scrapping about my family.
 I continue because I am HOOKED on scrapbooking and now cards and all other kinds of cool paper crafts.  My Cricut and Gypsy are my favorite tools I use them 90% of the time.  I still have a lot to learn as a newbie but I am having a ball in the process :)

Here are 10 great blogs to "pay it forward" again...

Building Block Graduation Card

Hello, everyone! Melissa here on to share a "building block" style card with you. I made this one graduation themed, since there are a ton of graduations going on right now. Hope you enjoy this card, and are inspired to try it out yourself. Here is the tutorial I followed from Split Coast Stampers. To make it easier, I will give you all the measurements, here. It looks harder than it is, I promise. Start with a piece of cardstock in your desired color that is 5.5 x 10.5. Put the 10.5 inch side along the top of your score board or paper trimmer, and score at 3.5 inches and 7 inches. Fold the first score line in a mountain fold, and the second in a valley fold. You should end up with a "z" fold card. The next part can get a bit tricky, so make sure you watch the video to fully understand what I am about to explain. On the back side of the "valley" fold, take a ruler and pencil and mark these measurements: 3/8 1 3/8 1 5/8 2 5/8 2 7/8 3 7/8 ...
