Celebrate Sistahood Blog Hop

In honor of Scraps of Color's 7th Anniversary, myself along with some talented papercrafters, have teamed up to honor and celebrate sistahood and the wonderful women in our lives who make us laugh, cry, shout, scream, play, live.  We honor through our creativity and sharing our stories during this blog hop. Each sistah blogger will inspire you with her creativity and will also be offering up some blog candy! What is blog candy you ask?  It's a giveaway!  So sit back and get ready to be inspired with the Celebrate Sistahood Blog Hop.

If you started on this blog feel free to look around and enter to win the blog candy.  But remember to go back to the first blog on the hop  Check out all the creations, follow the rules for entry and then move on to the next blog hop participant for your chance to win again and again. Be sure to visit each blog between Friday, October 21 and Sunday, October 23 for more inspiration and chances to win.  This hop closes on October 23, 2011 11:59 p.m. EST.  Winners will be posted on each blog on or before October 28, 2011. So be sure to check back! 

To win the following prize from 'Joy in the Journey' all you have to do is become a follower of this blog and leave a comment on this thread by the end of the hop.  The winner will be chosen randomly.  All winners must reside in the continental US. 

Now for the project:
I decided to make a layout of me scrapping with my friend Erica.  I have been doing arts and crafts since forever and Erica sat on the sidelines contending that she never thought she could do 'artsy stuff'.  Yeah right! LOL.  Well, I was deep into flower arranging and making wedding favors many years ago when none other than Erica invited me to a $5.00 crop (ahhhh those were the days-lol).  That crop was amazing!  I never looked back, I was hooked on the 'new way' to scrapbook.  Today I rarely do wedding favors and other crafts.  I was like:"... wow, what is a sizzix!"  "You mean there is a machine that does that...I am still using stencils and scissors." (LOL)  I love Erica just because, but now I have a special place for her in my heart for introducing me to a modern way to scrapbook.  We scrapbook and go to craft conventions together whenever we can.   She is a spectacular crafter and I get to experience all her scrappy goodness!  In addition to being spiritual sistahs, we are also scrap buddies.  Love this friendship!
