Welcome!

Welcome to my blog & first post.  I am completely new to this & hope you can be patient while I learn the ropes.   I have called my blog Crafting Serenity because every time I create a layout or card, I find serenity in the process.

I have been scrapbooking for the past 10+ years.  But only became a cardmaker in the past 5 years.  I try to take at least one class a month to learn new techniques.  It also gives me the chance to try something that is outside of my comfort level.  In doing so, I have become interested in submitting work for challenges.  So, this is my first step into that new world.

My first card I'm posting is --



Digital Stamp - Di's Digital Downloads -- http://disdigidownloads.blogspot.com/p/animals-and-bears_31.html
Copic Markers
Quickutz Border
Spellbinders Nestabilities
