Hi there! Welcome to day 2 of the super fun TSG blog hops. If you are joining me from Jodi's blog you are in the right place...if not head on over to the TSG blog to get started and for details on how you can win this adorable birthday set.

I had a hard time deciding which delicious image to use from this set, there are so many to chose from! I went with a fun cupcake, paper pierced the cupcake wrapper and sparkled up the chocolate frosting.

TSG43 birthday sparkles challenge

Today's challenge at the TSG blog is to make a sparkly birthday card. I used the Dream Big set from There She Goes and paired it with some of the sentiments from Treemendous. The papers are Cosmo Cricket Early Bird. I used these for two reasons. 1 I had it out and two strips perfect for my card just happened to be right there. So I used them! And 2, the yellow makes me happy. It makes me think of spring and not shoveling any.more.snow. Now I know there are folks that have gotten way more snow than I have and I shouldn't complain but I just can't help it!

We would love for you to play along! If you make a sparkly birthday card add it to the Mr. Linky on the TSG blog so we can see what you have created.




I totally bribed her with cupcakes so I could get this photography assignment completed. Two actually. And I would so do it again!

Hello.

Hi there! I've been knee deep in elementary school yearbook stuff and haven't had time to make anything for a while. I finished up today and decided to pop into the scrap room for a bit. This one was quick and easy! I wanted to use my new Cosmo Cricket Garden Variety so I paired it with one of my favorite butterflies from There She Goes. I was going for a sunny and warm feel because we are so not that right now and I really, really wish we were.

some pages to share.

I went to Archiver's for a crop on Friday with some friends. We had a great time although I never get as much done as I hope! I got 3 done this time, so not too bad! :) I'm not even going to make you wait to see them all! Aren't I nice? Really I'm afraid I'll forget about them if I don't get them on here right now so here goes.



Don't you love these new American Crafts papers? Oh my goodness the sweetness pouring from AC's Dear Lizzie collection is killing me. Barb will have it in the store soon and she's got free shipping plus a fun ribbon promotion. For every $5 you spend in American Crafts products you will get a small spool of AC ribbon for free! Here is the link to all the AC stuff if you want to take a look and I will let you know the minute she gets Dear Lizzie in stock.



Basic Grey's Recess collection was perfect for these baseball pictures.



Here is some more Basic Grey for this 1st day page. I know it's a valentine
collection but I totally think it works here too!

I've got some cleaning to do and then I'm headed to the scrapbook room to get a few more pages in. It's a perfect snowy day for it too.

I scrapbooked!

It's my turn to host Stampbook Saturday on the TSG blog.
Stop by the blog to see all the details.

I spent some time at chess club today.

Who knew it could be so much fun?



I knew it could be serious.



It can also be emotional. (Really don't know what this one is :)...angry, sad. It's just chess!) For the record, she wasn't really upset...just messing around.



I can tell you though that I'm glad my little kiddos think chess is fun.
