you

This was one of the make and takes at convention last week. I added the journaling bloc, the jumbo eyelet and ribbon, and the strips of paper at the bottom. It was too cute not to use right away. It uses the new Kiwi Kiss and Baja Breeze along with Rose Red and More Mustard. It also uses the new butterfly set from SU! which I am in love with. I was so happy when I opened my convention bag and saw the wonderful sets that the gave us. I will get a lot of use out of that butterfly set, I've been looking for a good one to cut out and use on pages.

I guess that' it today... I must find something for these kids to do today!

It's time for another Friday challenge at EIS. This week it's all about paper piecing. Come on over and check it out. The thread is here.

This is my card for the challenge using the cute stuff from the Imaginisce Baby Powder line. That giraffe couldn't be any cuter!

My cousin's wife is having a baby and this is the card I made for her. Wait till you see the rest of the gift. I made one of my totes to put some diapers and other baby goods in, and I still have some note cards to make. Once I have it all together I show you the whole gift. I hope it comes out as cute as it is in my mind.

have a great day!

I am so in love with the new SU! In Colors!!! I never thought I would like Kiwi Kiss, but I do I want to use it on everything. I was able to pick up this 3rd level hostess kit and I just love the paper in it. It's almost gone though and I want more!!LOL The rub on and blue flower button are also SU! The journaling is done with one of the newer Basic Grey journaling stamps, Journal Blocks and the flowers are felt flowers from both American Crafts and SU! I love felt flowers and pretty much use them on everything I can. I was so excited to see that there are new colors of the SU! Flower Fusion. Those will be on my first order for sure.

My daughter isn't feeling well today so we've had a lot of down time and I've actually gotten some new things done. I'll be back tomorrow with my card for the Friday DT challenge over at EIS. Make sure to stop by!

I'm loving all these shaped pages right now. They are so much fun to work with! This one is sort of a hodgepodge of stuff I've been wanting to use. I sort of just through it all together...I was trying for the collage look. Not sure I obtained it but it's collage enough for me. I love this sweet picture I got as the girls were waiting ot be told it was OK to go out onto the dance floor with their tap shoes on. Jordan was waiting so patiently but with lots of anticipation. I imagine it's so hard to wait to get out there with those noisy shoes on!

I've got some projects that need my attention so thats it for now!

Hope today was a great one.

I am seriously in love with American Crafts right now! The Thickers, the paper, the embellishments...the list goes on and on for me. I popped into Archivers the other day and picked up a few pieces from the new lines, noticed they had cardstock now and proceeded to the counter to check out. Much to my delight I received 60 sheets of American Crafts Play line. Love it! The flower paper here is from the line. I could not believe I got it for free!!!

I haven't gotten a chance to play with it yet. I just got back from the SU! convention. But i did have this page lying around that I haven't uploaded yet. It also features my new Martha Stewart butterfly punch. I love that thing it's so pretty with a few rhinestones up the middle and you've got yourself a sweet little butterfly. I used some basic grey buttons, die cuts from a crate paper pack and of course some Thickers. I tell ya, I just can not get enough of them. maybe tomorrow I take a picture of the stack of those things. It takes up 2 drawers now. i'll be back tomorrow with a new layout and I hope to get back in the scrappin groove this week.

catch ya later!

This is one of the Page Maps sketches by Becky Fleck. I love those things. I think this one is from January. It was a recent contest sketch tat I wanted to get done in time to enter but it did not happen! I still wanted to do it and I'm thinking better late than never right??

This page uses the Cosmo Cricket line Be Happy, AC thickers & stop sign and Basic Grey buttons.

Well I'm off to the SU! convention first thing tomorrow morning. I'll have my swaps that I've been working onto show you and a few other pages I completed today. I'm on a roll!

Also don't forget to check out the new Friday Challenges over at EIS. The first on is this Friday, August 1st. My challenge is first up and I'd love for you all to participate. If you do participate upload your card to the gallery at EIS and then comment here so I can see what you come up with.

I love using these shaped papers from Making Memories. They are so fun and add a little interest to the square page rut! I also used the new SU! Baja Breeze paper and the scallop border punch. Which I love and haven't stopped using since I got it! I used some American Crafts felt flowers, which I love almost as much as I love my Thickers, some buttons and rhinestones and called it done.

Hope you all have a great weekend!
