Calypso Meets SOTM!

Happy Saturday, peeps! Today I am sharing another fun project I created with our current SOTM, Celebrate with Cake. Here is the fun card! 

 I used some Calypso papers, stamped right onto the paper, fussy cut, and attached with foam tape. I finished it off with some pink gems, Calypso sequins, and Glacier twine. 

Get your "Celebrate with Cake" stamp for just $5 when you place an order of $50 with me!

Here is a look at the Calypso Workshop Your Way kit! 

Happy Scrapping,

 

Punkin' Paintin'

Has anyone else had major blogger issues? I'm actually having to load this from work....shhhhh!

I'll be quick. Here is the new sketch over at Sketches in Thyme, challenge 17....

This is the last one by Helen Croft for a little while. I loved working with it. I think I just drew great inspiration from it.
I used my new Boo Crew October Lucky Girl Crafts Kit to create this one.

I love the apricot color of the cardstock and that fun Bo Bunny striped paper. And what about that gingham plaid piece of fabric? The alphas are from on old Lucky Girl kit. The pumpkin and the overlay are from my stash.
I hope you'll get to play along with us this week!

Sketches in Thyme Reveal

Good Morning,
ETA: Just saw this one also fit The Sabby Tea Room this week, which is Fun in the Sun!
Thanks again for all of your thoughts and prayers for my Mother. I spent the night in the hospital with her. She is still full of some powerful meds to keep her pain-free until the surgery, hopefully on Friday.

Today is our second challenge reveal at Sketches in Thyme. I can't tell you how excited I am about this new venture and just how much inspiration I get daily from my Mavens! I love you ladies so much!!!!
So without further ado, here is our second sketch, it comes to you from scrapiopath.blogspot.com sketch 36. I love it!!!!!




And here is my take on it! I had these photos of Ashlea from Tybee Island that still hadn't been scrapped, this sketch was just perfect for it, don' t you think?

All papers and ribbon are K & Co, Seaglass. The bling and butterfly are from Hobby Lobby, and the chipboard letters are Crate Paper.
I certainly hope you will visit my Mavens and give them some love! Hey while you are at it, help us spread the word about this week's challenge! I can't wait to see your layout posted there! blessings,

Let it Snow!

Good Morning,
This morning I'm bringing you the sketch from this last Friday at Practical Scrappers. I love this sketch and can see myself using it time and time again on layouts and cards.
I decided that since I had so many snow photos from this winter, that I had may as well scrap them. This is Ashlea playing in my Gran's yard. She was doing her cheer toe touches. So I aptly named them "snowtouches". She had such a fun time that day.

All paper, stickers, and overlay are Bo Bunny. I used some bling from my stash to go inside the snowflakes. This sketch offers up lots of inspiration, I hope it inspires you!

Have a terrific Tuesday!

Blessings,

Be Happy

Good Morning,

This post is coming to you as I prepare to leave Myrtle Beach. Ashlea's Junior Prep Elite team won National Champion in Jazz, Pom, and Hip Hop! She is so excited! After the competition, we took a trip down to the beach to take some photos. I just wanted to share this one. I got lots of beautiful ones, you'll see them in layouts very soon!!!! This is Ashlea, Megan, and Jon-Christopher. Oh how I love these kiddos!

This on is of my little Hunter. He went to the beach for photos before the other kids did. He said the wind was just too cold for him.... Now on to the Practical Scrappers challenge this week! We are asking you to pull out your rub-ons and get creative! I opted for no patterned paper. I used CTMH cardstock and a full sheet of Fancy Pants rub-ons to make this page. It may be difficult to tell, but I put some diamond stickles in the center of the flower rub-ons.

Now it's your turn to show us what your rub-ons can do. Please visit my super talented dt sisters linked up on my side bar. You will leave with more inspiration! Have a super Monday. We'll be traveling all day, so I won't be around to visit until tomorrow. I have seriously got to get a mobile charger for this laptop.
Blessings,

Practical Scrappers Sketch....Wonder

Good Saturday Morning,
I hope you are all ready for a day filled with sunshine. At least I hope you are getting my weather today. We are expecting close to 70 and all sunshine! My little man, Jon-Christopher, plays in his last Jr. Pro game today and they will have a "Trophy Ceremony" after the game. You would think my five year old nephew is about to cash in the winning lottery ticket. Oh the joys and innocence of childhood.
Here's the sketch at Practical Scrappers this weekend by Ann Katrin. She is so very talented in designing these fabulous sketches.

I had this photo of Ashlea from Easter 2003. She is giving the little shy look in this one.

I used some really old rub-ons for my flourishes. The title is by Glitz Designs. My papers are all Kaitlin from Cosmo Cricket. My flowers are CTMH and Prima. The inks are Tim Holtz and the brad is from stash.

Enjoy your Saturday!

Blessings,
