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.

I scrapbooked!

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

Chemistry Blog Hop!

Hello again and welcome to the Chemistry blog hop. If you are joining me from
Jodi's blog you are in the right place. If not, head on over to the TSG blog and start
hopping. You will also get all the deets on how to win your very own Chemistry set.


I have two cards for you today. I know you will totally fall in love with this set! I know
I did. I definitely could have kept playing with this one but I thought I stick with two so
I would have something to show you the rest of the month.



For my first card I used some pretty Pink Paislee papers and paired it with the tube full of hearts. This is probably my favorite image in this set...until I make something with another one of the many images and then that one will be my favorite LOL!



My second card is simple! I played around with the hearts adding additional layers and
colors of stamped borders. Turns out it looked better just like this so I left it. It really didn't matter what I tried to add to this one I just kept taking things away LOL!

Thank you so much for stopping by again today! Every one of your
comments over the last few days has made me smile, so thank you!

Now head over to Maki's blog to keep on hopping!

ROFL Taglines Blog Hop!

Hi there and welcome to the ROFL Taglines blog hop! If you are joining me from
Jodi's blog then welcome! If not head on over to the TSG blog to start the hopping and
to find out how you can win your very on ROFL Taglines stamp set.



I used just a sentiment on this one because by the time I got the card all sorted out I didn't have any room to include the shoes! So I decided to highlight one of the funny sentiments included in this set. There are so many images and sentiments to choose from I actually had a hard time narrowing down which one to use! If I had had more time I probably could have busted out several more cards..but alas never enough time to do all the stamping I want! I actually had to give myself a pep talk today to get the bathrooms cleaned.

Thanks for all the nice comments on my post yesterday and for stopping by again today!

TSG Aim For The Clouds Blog hop!

Hello and welcome! 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 start hopping and to get details on
how you can win your very own Aim For The Clouds set.





Every year at my kiddo's school the kindergarten class hosts the Pony Express. They hop on some stick ponies and deliver happy mail to the students. It's a fun tradition and I usually send my kids more than one love note with a little treat attached. These are the first two that I'll send. I thought these cute hot air balloons would be perfect for both of them!

On a happy note....when I asked my daughter if she wanted to buy her valentines or have me make them, she looked at me like I was crazy and said "I want you to make them, of course...unless you don't want too. Do you want to? I can help." Do I want to make them? HA! like I would have bought them even if she wanted me too. :)

Thanks for stopping by today. Head on over to Maki's blog to keep on hopping!

TSG Treemendous Love!

I think that this tree in the Treemendous mini set might be one of my favorite trees ever! It's beautiful and makes a statement and paired with Cosmo's Earth Love papers it makes for a fun card! I had been doing a fair amount of scrapbooking (yes I'm still working on that darn calendar!) and decided to play around with my stamps for a bit. I really need to do it more often because this one cardtook me ALL DAY! Not even joking.

I do have most of the calendar done and will start sharing it tomorrow!

garden of friends

I actually had time today to participate in the Splitcoast sketch challenge. Fun stuff I tell ya! I should have been working on my calendar though. Anyways....I used the new TSG set Garden of Friends. It's so beautiful! Perfect for a last minute birthday card if I do say so myself! I promised more Sugar Rush and I delivered! Isn't it pretty? That's all I've got for you today...not to chatty I guess. Must get to the kiddos school for some volunteering. Have a great day.

This has to be quick today as I'm headed out the door for some good food and family time! I hope the New Year is off to a fabulous start for all of you out there in blog land.

many fun things you can do with these snowflakes! Look for them again on
Saturday on my Stampbook Saturday page.

TSG Loads of Fun blog hop

Ok better late than never right?! I got stuck at my mom's house last night...it was too icy to drive home so I didn't get my post up in time. I'm home now so here it is. You may want to stop at the TSG blog if you haven't already. All of the juicy details are over there! And make sure to hop on over to Maki's blog next!

Isn't this just the most adorable set ever? I used the super sweet Sweet Cakes paper
from Pink Paislee and I think it compliments this image perfectly! After all the
shoveling I've done I'm wishing for a sunny warm day right now.

I have to run...I still have some shopping to do. I know right? Wish me luck!

Hello and welcome to the TSG Garden of Friends blog hop! If you are joining me
from Jodi's blog you are in the right place. Start at the TSG blog for all the details on
how you can win your very own Garden of Friends set!

I went clean and simple with my card using only a few of the many images in this beautiful set.
If you are a copic user you will fall in love with the beautiful flowers and leaves for sure! I loved this particular sentiment so I chose to highlight it as my focal point. I then added some of the flower images to surround it. I hope you are enjoying you holiday's.

Now head on over to Maki's blog to continue on the hop.

I finally had a chance to stamp! And it's a good thing too. The kids get out of
school on Friday and I'm still not done with the teacher gifts. I did get one of the
cards made though so I'm getting there!

I used my adorable Penguin Love set from There She Goes. I really don't think
there is a cuter penguin set out there! I can find so many uses for these little cuties.
The paper is some retired Stampin' Up paper that I can't remember the name of and of
course, Kraft cardstock! I should be done with the gifts here very soon and then I can
finish my Christmas card...which I'll share tomorrow. In the meantime have a wonderful day!

There She Goes - Dollar Find Friday

Hi there! Today it's my turn to host Dollar Find Friday for the TSG blog. I have
for you a planner from the infamous Target dollar spot! I ripped off the original
cover and replaced it with something much, much better. I used the oh so lovely
American Crafts Letterbox collection and paired it with the amazingly adorable
birdie from TSG's Birdie Wishes. (Can you tell I've been helping my children with their
"juicy" words?:>) Check out the TSG blog for more details on this weeks project.




One last tidbit before I go....I will probably not be posting regularly on the ol blog this month. I work retail and December is a busy month for me as it is for everyone! But I'm usually too exhausted to do much of anything crafty. However, I do have some gift items, my Christmas card and calendars to still complete (wish me luck!) so I will have that to show as well as my DT commitments. So I won't be gone, gone I just won't be here a lot.

Thanks for visiting me and I so enjoy all of your sweet, sweet comments! Happy Holidays.
