Happy Birthday and a WINNER!!!!!

I'm back today with a fun card I created using more of the yummy Forever Love kit from Lucky Girl...

I love the overlay that came in the kit. I used just a small bit to adorn the corner. The butterfly is cut from the same sheet of designer paper that the card is made out of. I used my CTMH stamps to add the sentiment.

Now for the winner of my $ 7 Lucky Girl store credit.....

Sketches in Thyme....

I promise that I'm still here.....we have been buried in snow, snow, ice, and more snow. I've been spending my days digging out....and spending some quality time with my Honeybee and my family. I'll post some photos of our snow since December 3 a little later today.
I'm going to finish getting the Christmas decorations down and the house all tidy again. Then the remainder of the day is going to be spent in my scraproom....I can't wait!

Just a reminder that we have a new sketch up at Sketches in Thyme today....
This is a Jana Eubank sketch and I LOVE it!!!!

Our sponsor this month is Lucky Girl Craft Kits....

OMG, check out the January 2011 Forever Love kit!

Hop on over today to check it out!!!!!

Merry Christmas!!!!

Merry Christmas to you all!!!! I have had an incredibly busy week, as I'm sure many of you have experienced too! Just a quick note to wish you all the most blessed day! I hope Santa is good to you this year! He's been especially kind to me! I love you, Santa!!

I also forgot to post my Frosted Designs layout yesterday. This week our challenge is a holiday song. I had this sassy photo of Ashlea walking in last year's snow.

The photo didn't capture the title very well. I used some velvet covered thickers and it is just yummy irl. These papers are last year's Bo Bunny A Gift of Love.....I thought they were just so pretty. Be sure to check out what the rest of the Frosted ladies have to share with you.
Again, wishing you all the most glorious day!
Merry Christmas!

Let it snow.....

This is the very last of my Christmas cards. I can't recall where I picked up this adorable snowman. He was a freebie from somewhere on a great digi blog, if anyone knows the artist, please let m know so I can give her credit!


I just love how this one came out! Be warm and safe today!!!!
Blessings

Holly and Jolly...

OMG, more snow this morning, enough already! The temps aren't getting above freezing and there is no let up in sight. Oh well, I guess it will be a white Christmas after all!
I have two very clean and simple cards to share this morning. I did remember to get pix before they went into the mail... :)




Both cards feature the Jolly Holly papers and rub-ons from Stampin Up!. I also had to use this yummy old olive striped grosgrain ribbon.
I am so loving this paper and I'm using up all the little bits and pieces for cards, love it!
I hope you have a great Saturday, and stay warm!!!
Blessings,

Practical Gift Idea and a Sketch....

Today is a new sketch reveal over at Sketches in Thyme! Hop on over to see this week's Guest Designers and the lovely Mavens, as they have some incredible inspiration for this Jana Eubank sketch.

As you are crossing off the last few names on your list, here is a quick yet fabulous gift idea to share, an altered planner. We all need a planner of some sort to keep up with our daily schedules. If you have someone on your list that never goes far without a planner, then this little gem is perfect for you.

First, you need to buy a planner, I picked this one up at the dollar store for $2. Then I matched the supplies and style of it to the friend I'm gifting. She is all victorian and I wanted this planner to reflect her beautiful spirit.

Next, I measured, cut, and inked up the paper for the cover.

I also used a little bookplate along with the year as an embellishment for the year.

Other embellishments I added included a tag with a quote just perfect for her, you really can't have vintage victorian without the addition of pearls, roses, and ribbons.

Once you see how easy these are to create and personalize, you'll enjoy creating for all your friends and family!
If you have some practical girt ideas, please share them with us at practicalscrappersideas@gmail.com, we'd love to hear from you!
Blessings,

Joy....

Today is my December Recipe reveal over at The Moments. I'm calling it "Party Mix". Here is the yummy recipe:

Are you ready for our December recipe challenge? This one is festive and ready to party, here are the ingredients you'll need:

1 cup of something to celebrate (My wedding, which was a Christmas one)
A handful of pearls (flourish and in poinsettias)
A dash of some dimensional liquid (Liquid glass, Dimensional Magic)

Mix all ingredients accordingly, embellish as you please, sprinkle with a little love and share with your scrappy friends!
Serves: a lifetime of memories

Here's a peek at my dish....

I used one sheet of SU! paper from the Deck the Halls stack. The little holly berries are covered with the dimensional magic. I also highlighted the leaves and pine with just a smidgen of stickles.
Then the pearls went in the poinsettias and of course I had to add the flourish.

Here is a peek at what the holly berries look like with the dimensional magic. I just love the effect.

So, what are you waiting for, I know you'll love the Party Mix and want to share your layout or project with us! Please visit, The Moments today for lots of great challenges, scrappy friendships, and tons of inspiration!

Blessings,

Merry Christmas...

Here is a very simple card that I made using just scraps of my Warm Winter Wishes Lucky Girl kit.

I think it is just cute as can be. Those little peppermint rubons fit just perfectly in the little metal frame. I hope that you are all toasty and warm this morning.

Blessings,
