In the crafty realm, I finally got my paper scraps under control, which ultimately helps me see what I have in my stash and hopefully put it to better use. I've broken down all but the last 3 Studio Calico kits and incorporated the leftovers into my supplies, which is helping me focus on using up the kits I've left intact. At this point, I've only LOOKED at (ok, and I'll admit it - SNIFFED) the November goodies, but I'll get to it soon.
My mojo is elusive when it comes to creating scrapbook layouts, but the cards are coming easily. Here are a few of the ones I've done in the past few days.
Made this one for the Card-A-Licious challenge #31 (make a card using flowers and the colors black & red):
Created using the Studio Calico Cotillion kit/add-ons (September 2009) and items from my stash.Materials: Cardstock (Black) Michael's, (White) Office Depot;

This one for my co-worker's housewarming (lifted from a card previously posted on Laura Craigie's blog):
