TSB Challenge Reminder

Summer has definitely started here in the Czapor house. We've been to the city pool several times and there have been teenagers hanging out quite a bit. The girls seem to be enjoying it so far. I have learned that I DEFINITELY like my routine now that I don't have one. 

I am still trying to figure out time to work on Finally Home Crafts projects. You can find my current items for sale at The Stamping Boutique in the Finally Home Crafts section.  There is also a Finally Home Crafts page on Facebook.  I have several new items in the works and hope to post them soon!!

There are a few challenges happening right now where the prize is free images from The Stamping Boutique.

A New Journey Begins

Sorry for the double posts in one day. I started this last week and never to back to it. 

Just a quick update on my life! I took a year leave of absence from teaching to give my time and full focus on my family. God has been calling me to do this for about 8 years and I am finally being obedient!! I cannot begin to tell you the many blessings I have already experienced!!! 

Now that I have more time (during the time my girls are at school), I have decided to start a new faithbook. In the past my faithbook was all about recording different aspects of my faith. This time my focus is growing and strengthening my relationship with The Lord. I am really excited about this journey. I will be sharing my journey here as well!! 

I have decided to use the SN@P 6x8 album. I like the flexibility in LO types I can create!! Here is my first LO about why I am doing this faithbook!

This week I am working on creating a title page for my new book. I hope you'll stop by and check it out!!

The Stamping Boutique's latest challenge!!!

Hello all!! I wanted to let everyone know that now that The Stamping Boutique has reopened, we are restarting our challenges as well. This is definitely an exciting time!!! 

We are starting with CHALLENGE #64 - the theme is Christmas.  I know I need to get moving on my Christmas cards and I am guessing so do others. I am hoping this challenge gets me motivated!! You will find complete details on the TSB Challenge Blog but here's a quick overview!

The requirements are pretty basic - 

   1. Your project must follow the theme.

   2. You can enter a card, scrapbook layout, altered item, etc...

   3. It must be a new creation

   4. Please connect to the actual blog post where your project is located.

   5. You may use any image to win but a TSB image is required to be a Top 3 winner.

Here is one of the cards I made for using the TSB images Santa and Audrey.

I am hoping you will head over there and join the challenge as well as checking out the beautiful work done by our Design Team!! 

Also be sure to come join us at the TSB Facebook page for some chatting and sharing of projects!! We would love to see your creations!!

Thanks for coming by!! Have a fantastic week!!
