tea time

I had a chance to participate in one of the challenges this weekend for the SCS virtual scrapbooking night. I had hopes of doing more, that was before I got sick and spent the rest of the weekend in bed. I'm feeling a little better today so I plan on busting out at least a couple more challenges. There were some really good ones! Here is a link to all the challenges if you want to check it out for yourself.

All supplies American Crafts except the buttons which are Stampin Up and the butterfly is a martha punch.

I almost forgot! There is a new contest over at Embellish-Online. You could win the Glue Glider pro plus an extra refill.

Here are the rules...

  1. You must post in this thread if you want to be included in the drawing.
  2. You must be a member of this forum
  3. You must have at least 25 posts from the time you post here
  4. You must type your forum post number in the post so I know what your post count is.
  5. Forum and Gallery posts all count!
Have fun!

2 in one day...I know!

Here is a sneak peak at what I've been working on for the Embellish-Online Feb gallery. I chose to use the super cute Twitterpated line by Imaginesce. It is seriously adorable! I will have my other 2 pages and some Valentine day cards to show you with the same line on Feb. 5th.

All supplies are from the Twitterpated collection. The letters are American Crafts and the flower is a Suzy flower. Loved her tutorial on this!

love you


I'm getting in Valentines day mode. I got this page scrapped the other night at Archivers. Seriously one of my favorite photos of Jordan from 2008. I saw this Little Yellow Bicycle Valentine line and knew it would be perfect for this picture. I of course used Thickers for the title and some AC foam flowers paired with a covered chipboard heart for the embellishments. A Martha Stewart butterfly finished it off. I have to admit I was really bummed because I didn't bring any embellishments to match these papers, but once I got it done I was glad I didn't add any more! I do need to add some journaling...not sure where I'll put it though! I get to it later.

My sisters and I are getting together this weekend to bust out some Valentine treats for the kids classmates. I just have to think of the ideas!

I had to share another layout and didn't want to wait until tomorrow! I used a sketch from the Inspired Blueprints blog for inspiration. It doesn't look too much like the sketch but I was definitely inspired by it!

Christmas

The last page of 2005! Feels good to get a whole year completed. I'll never be caught up but I won't lie that it's an accomplishment to finish a year. I've been doing a decent amount of scrapping these day so for the next few days I'll have something new to show you.

I'm also working with the Twitterpated collection from Imaginesce for next months design team. It is seriously the cutest! I'll give you a sneak peak when I complete the page I'm working on. In the mean time run to Embellish-Online and check it out. Twitterpated collection. I just noticed that the deal of the day is a closeout on Maya road goodies. In addition there is a 30% discount on Basic Grey stamps. Some good deals going on over there! Also check out the post below this one for an awesome contest as well.

have a great day!
