Everything about you makes me smile

Hello my friends!! So last night I started to think whether Accounting is for me. LOL!! Everyone said the Intermediate Accounting class will make you or break you. It is the "heart" of Accounting. Oh vey!!! What a difficult class. We got our second test yesterday which is a take home (all of the tests are take home) but it is difficult. My professor told the class that we needed to use a ruler and make sure all the lines on the reports are straight and that neatness is part of our grade. He wants to see beautifully prepared reports. YIKES!!! LOL!! At least I have a week to work on it.

On top of working on a take home test I have to make 25 baby shower invites for a friend of Tony's. My new love, Copics. LOL!! I decided I wanted to try them on these invites and I love it. I am hoping to take some classes at my LSS so I can get better at it. :-)

Anywho, I have a GORGEOUS LO to share with you that our Delightful Designer, Debbie, created using Artful Delight October monthly kit and October sketch. :-)


Isn't it beautiful?? Love it! For more details about this LO please visit Debbie's blog. :-)

Yummy-licious

Good Morning and Happy Wednesday. Today I have another amazing project to share with you that our Delightful Designer, Courtney, created using Artful Delight's October monthly kit.

Fantastic card. I am actually enjoying a yummy-licious cup of joe right now. I like the coffee mug on this card. Funny thing about coffee mugs. A couple years back my daughter bought me a coffee cup, I think it was for Mother's Day. She got it at Walgreens and was one of those "mom" definition cups. LOVED IT!!! Still have it actually. Then last year she was in Volleyball at the Park District and I got a coffee mug with her picture on it. Since then I have been addicted to coffee mugs. LOL!! Kinda collect them. When I went to visit my family in IL last summer my mom had these awesome mugs and I joked about "stealing" them. LOL!! A month after I came home she sent me a package and she had bought me two of the mugs like the ones she had. :-) I have some holiday mugs too. Even though I drink out of all my coffee mugs, when we move and have more space I am going to have to get a display case for all of them. :-)

Ok, well that's my story about coffee mugs. LOL!! Please stop by Courtney's blog and leave some comment love. Stop by tomorrow, I will have more inspiration.

Altered notebook

Good Morning! YAY, it's Tuesday. Nothing special about today just that we are one day closer to the end of week 7 of the fall semester. Speaking of fall I totally think we skipped it here in Virginia. We went from 80 degree temps to 40 degrees. Yikes it's cold!!

All kits that have either been purchased or won so far have been shipped as of today. Yippee!! There are still a couple scrapbook and card kits left so if you would like to purchase one be sure to do so before they sell out. :-)

Well today we have a project to share with you that our Delightful Designer, April, created using the October monthly kit. This month is also April's last month as a Delightful Designer. April is a sweet and talented crafter and she will be greatly missed on the team. It has been an amazing year with all my designers and it saddens my heart that the year has come to an end and April and Courtney will be leaving us. On a positive note I am happy to have "met" April and feel lucky to call her a friend as well. :-)

With that said, this month please join me in leaving some comment love on April's (and Courtney's) blog.

Now let's take a look at April's adorable altered notebook she created using Artful Delight's October monthly kit. :-)

For more details about this project please visit April's blog. :-) Stop by tomorrow for more awesome inspiration using this month's kit.

Sccoby & U

Happy Sunday. I have the day off today from work so I am going to relax. Well I have laundry, dishes and other chores to do around the house but I don't really have homework or anything else to do. YAY me!! I also have to make 25 baby shower invitations. No not for me, lol!! Someone Tony works with asked if I could make them for her. I made some bridal shower invites last year. Must have liked them a lot to ask me to make invitations again. The best part is they want a Fall theme for the baby shower invites. I have some papers left from the September kit and I purchased a "Welcome Little Pumpkin" stamp the other day, super cute. I will share them when I am done.

BUT today I have an awesome LO to share with you that our Delightful Designer, Julie, created using the October monthly kit and the October sketch, ASC #13.


Fabulous!!! For more details about this LO, please visit Julie's blog. :-) That's all for today, stop by tomorrow for another project from one of our Delightful Designers.

Good Morning, Happy Saturday, and Happy October 1st. I have a lot to share with you today. I have winners to announce, today is the official release day of the October kit, and also the new sketch challenge starts today. Fun, fun stuff!!

OK, Let's start with the wreath contest winner. A week or so ago I shared some handmade wreaths with all of you that I made for my lovely Delightful Designers. I asked for guesses on how many 4" circles I used per wreath. The closest guess won a wreath. :-)

WREATH winner.........with a guess of 200 is.......Robin from The Cricut Scrapper
*On each wreath I used roughly 282-4" circles. I had a blast making them and cannot wait to make another one. :-)*

Next I have the 3 random winners to announce.

1. Tanya from My Scrappin and Stampin Corner
2. Vicki from Scrapbooking Creations by Vicki
3. libeeti from Creations with Love

Now for the winner of ASC #12.........Tina from Bits & Scraps of my Life

And last but certainly not least the GRAND PRIZE winner........#28 ERIN BLEGEN - winner of the 6 month subscription to Artful Delight monthly kits. :-)

If the winners can please contact me within 72 hours to claim your prize that would be awesome. My email is leeanne@artfuldelight.com - I will have to pick new winners on Tuesday if I don't hear from you.
