TSG Card Bin Blog Hop

Welcome to the Card Bin blog hop. If you have joined me from Jodi's blog you are in the right place, if not head on over to Dawn's blog and start there. Leave a comment on each of the Trendsetter's blog then return to the TSG blog and add you name to the Mr. Linky at the bottom of the post to be entered in a drawing to win your very own card bin!



Today we are showing the super cute card bin's. They are the perfect storage solution to all those cards hanging around waiting to be organized plus you get to alter it to your liking. They will hold about 40 cards (even bulky ones!) more if the cards have less layers.
This one is going to be a gift for one of my kiddo's teacher's...that is if I can part with it!

I'm so glad you stopped by today! Now head on over to Maki's blog to see what she created!

Stampbook Saturday

Here's a sneak peak at my Stampbook Page featured on the TSG blog.
Hop on over and take a look! Have a great weekend!

almost here...

I totally realize that I shouldn't even be speaking the words Christmas yet, but it had to be done! I mean I got a Christmas page done and I wouldn't want to keep anything from you now would I? Plus I'm getting inspired by all the fabulous Christmas lines out there and really need to scrap some of my Christmas photos! I promise I won't show them too early...

The little ones in this picture are now 3 and almost 4 and there are 3 more siblings (2 different families :>) for a total of 7 grandchildren for my mom! This Thanksgiving it is my mission to get a photo of all of them. Wish me luck!

EIO Tuesday + a TSG sketch challenge!

Here is my take on this fun sketch from Tuesday Morning Sketches.
There She Goes is the sponsor for this week and we would love for you to play along.
Visit the TSG blog for details on how to win a fun TSG stamp set!

I picked up the Basic Grey Eerie Collection from Embellish-Online this weekend
and paired it with the There She Goes HSH Halloween Additions stamp set.
You would think I don't own any other Halloween sets since this is the only one
I use these days! I tried to make this card a spooky one...not sure if I actually
succeeded or not :). I'm still learning how to use these darn Copics! I definitely need some lessons...and a few ( read ALOT!) more colors would be nice as well.

EIO Tuesday

I am featuring the Cosmo Cricket Boyfriend collection for this weeks post. It's got great colors and patterns for lots of boy themed pages! It's hard to find I tell ya and this collection works fabulously!

I am slowly catching up on the millions of birthday pictures! These are the 6 year old pictures of Jack. Good golly how they change. That's one of the great things about not being caught up on the scrapbooking...you get to revisit special memories every time you pull out a stack of pictures. I can not believe how much this one has changed in just 2 1/2 years. Scary really how fast this growing up thing is. Just the other day I saw a mom get out of her car with her toddler and new baby and while I'm happy (most of the time) to be done with the baby stages...it did make me a little sad! I do miss the constant compainions that you get when your kids are small and the fact that you are their whole world. As they get older school, friends, extra activities take center stage. I know they have to grow up and be independant but it doesn't make it any easier!

TSG25 Dry Embossing

Are you ready for a challenge? This weeks TSG challenge is Dry Embossing brought to us by Maki! I used the Branching Out set and a cuttlebug embossing folder. I don't know the name of it but it isn't the swiss dots, it is a small polka dot strip which I love cause it gives just the right amount of embossing....for me any ways! :)

If you want to play along here are the details. Make a card featuring Dry Embossing and link it up on the TSG blog for a chance to win a $5 gift certificate to the store.
