**FOR THE SNB BLOG HOP-GO HERE!**
What a great weekend. Met four friends from the Cardmaker Cardswap Group and had lunch with the editor of Cardmaker Magazine, Tanya Fox. Shopped at the Creating Keepsakes Convention and just generally had a great time with my online friends. Yesterday I went to the Copics Certification class in St. Louis. It was awesome. It's amazing what you can do with Copics. I learned several new things that I'm DYING to try but I know I'll spend the next day or so unpacking and sorting my stuff from the weekend. Then I have to catch up on all the stuff I would have done if I were around all weekend and this morning my daughter decided she needs to move her room around tonight and I told her I'd help her. Hmm...not seeing much time for crafting but you know I'm going to try to fit some in! So, just wanted to explain why I haven't posted a card since Saturday!
You still have time to enter the SNB Sketch Challenge. Make something by 5pm Mountain time Tuesday night and you'll be in the running to win 10 free images from SNB. You can still play along with the Blog Hop too where you can win the images that the DT members used in their cards for the hop. Check it out!

Spring Peep
**If you're here for the SNB Blog Hop-GO HERE!**
I'm really excited for the weekend. In about six hours from now I'm going to be meeting Lora, Jeanette, Rhonda and Ellie...four of my online friends from the Cardmaker Cardswap group. We're all going to the Creating Keepsakes Convention and we've all signed up for tonight's crop. We're meeting this afternoon to check out the Vendor Faire, grabbing a quick dinner, and then crafting together from 7pm till 11pm. How fun is that? Tommorow we're hitting the Vendor Faire again and then having lunch. I'm really excited to meet them all and spend time crafting with them. They're all super talented and I found out yesterday when we were talking about what we were all bringing that they are all loaded with GIZMOS! Yep, they have tons of crafting supplies that I don't have and they are willing to share those with the rest of us (mostly me since I have nothing!) I'm really excited...did I say that already? As if that isn't enough fun for one weekend, on Sunday I'm taking the Copics Certification class in St. Louis. I'm hoping to learn a lot and can't wait to practice what I learn and get better with my Copics. So, those are my weekend plans!
Now, on to my card for today:
It's the start of a new month so that means you can head over to Designed to Delight and pick up this free image called "Spring Peep". Make something with it and you get next week's image free too. If you don't play along with this one, you don't get next week's free so be sure to jump in now and get your card posted by 11:59 pm on Monday so you qualify for next week's freebie.
Challenges:
365 Cards: Sunday Sketch
Designed to Delight: Spring Peep image
There She Goes: Use lemon yellow, grass green and aqua
Charisma Cardz: Thank you card
Pals Paper Arts: Flowers
Raise the Bar: Flowers/spring theme
Crafty Ann's Challenge: Let the sun shine in

Sounds fun, right? We think so and hope that you'll play along each week. We'll announce a "Top Three" every week and we'll use random.org to choose an overall winner who will get to choose one SNB image from the store. Here is the card I made with this week's sketch:
This cupcake is one of my favorite SNB images. It's perfect for birthday cards, cheer up cards or any celebration card you might want to make. It's easy to color and that cherry on top is just asking to be glittered up! Leave a comment on this post by 8pm Tuesday, April 13th and you could win this Cupcake Hearts image for yourself! I'll announce the winner on this blog on April 14th by 9am.

Breaking Out of the Slump
I haven't been posting much because I haven't been crafting much. Sure my family and I took an impromtu vacation to Chicago last week but this crafting slump I've been in started before that. Can't explain it, I know it happens to everyone and it has happened to me before, it's just never lasted this long. Since it's the start of a new week I decided I would JUST DO IT...start with some challenges and make something. So here it is, my attempt to break out of my slump with this sweet image from Elizabeth Dulemba again!
I worked in a lot of challenges too:
Magical Crafts: Animal Antics
One Stitch at a Time: Anything Goes
Pollycraft: Anything Goes
Our Creative Corner: Buttons
Just Cute Bears: Use yellow and Green
Pile it On: Easel card
Incy Wincy: Fancy Fold Card
Secret Crafter: Garden Images
Cupcake Crafts: Handmade flowers
Daisy Doodles: Sketch
