Following the rules, I have to list 7 things about myself, so here they are:

1. I was born in the US but lived in Mexico most of my life. I moved back to the States to go to college.

2. My favorite color is brown. I like it so much that one of the walls in my bedroom is chocolate brown or SU!-speaking, Chocolate Chip brown.

3. I have two sisters.

4. I'm into fashion and my favorite TV shows are What not to Wear and Project Runway.

5. I love the Beatles and all their songs.

6. My first trip by myself was to Montreal, Canada. Beautiful city!

7. I'm a paperholic and addicted to Stampin' Up!

Twinchies

Love to make these things!! I joined the "Anything Goes Twinchie Swap" at the cricut.com message board. I signed up for 5 groups and had to make 20 identical twinchies per group, so I ended up making a total of 100 twinchies. It was so much fun!!! They are due by the end of March but I am sending mine out over the weekend. Hope they like them. Thanks for looking!

Stamps Index

My stamp collection is continuously growing (most of them are from SU!), so whenever I need to make a card or craft using stamps, it takes me forever to go through each of my stamp sets to decide what to use. So I came up with the idea of this Stamps Index. I cut in half 8.5 x11" mutipurpose white paper and wrote down the stamp set name. Then I stamp all the images in that stamp set on the 4.25x5.5" paper as shown in the second picture. For the cover and back I used SU! cardstock and laminated it using the PC YourStory binding and laminating machine. Then I bound all the pages using my BIA. I left a buch of blank sheets for the future stamps I am planning to buy :) It is pretty simple but helps me speeding up the design process. Thanks for looking!!!
