December Daily 2015...

 I finally got some me time to begin my very first ever.....December Daily! I chose a Simple Stories album....that I love!!!! I had purchased some Sleigh Ride from Crate Paper and Bo Bunny Candy Cane Lane for the album. 

Here is the cover....

 I wanted the inside to have just a bit of decoration....this tree was perfect! 

Now, there is a story here....I used the Artiste cartridge to cut this Ho, Ho, Ho and I used my Heidi Swapp Minc Mini to foil it. Can we say I fell in love?!? I also used the fuse to seal the top of the page protector....that is gonna take some practice!

I hope you are enjoying your December Daily and share a link in the comments below to your fabulous creations! I'd love to see! 

Happy Scrapping,

Good Morning,

This morning I have a quick card to share. One of my best blogging friends, Brenda, is in the Operation Write Home blog hop this weekend. She is hosting a challenge. Here is the sketch, it's a fun one! You have to play....she's got a yummy prize!

And here is what I did with it. I know it is very clean and simple, but that is what I was feeling from this sketch. To me, this card is clean, like the new beinning we have in Spring. One of my third grade coworkers celebrates a birthday on April 5. This is going to be her card.

All my papers and dicuts are Crate Paper, my inks and stamps are CTMH, and the button & floss are from stash.

I hope you all have a gorgeous day!

Blessings,

You are Birdiful....

PLEASE SCROLL DOWN ONE FOR FROSTED DESIGNS POST

Woo Hoo check out this week's challenge at The Town Scrapper, three buttons. The design team will be now be referred to as The Scrapettes! I LOVE it! I chose a Victoria Case Sophie feeding the birds image. I love this beautiful little girl! Again, I pulled out scraps of some Crate Paper for this card. I tried to keep my image soft and pastel to go along with my dps. You have got to visit my Scrapettes and check out what they came up with for this week!


Some of the fabby Scrapettes have a sneak peek at some new Easter images from Victoria! Be sure to leave them so lovin'!!!

You Feel the Rain....

Good Morning,

I hope you will take just a moment to hop over to The Sisterhood to take a peek which sister is being introduced this morning! Be sure to leave her some love.

Announcing the top three at Practical Scrappers, Jan, Amanda, and Sue F. and our grand prize winner, Lisa. You can see their winning creations here. Thanks for all your inspirational projects this week, as always, you girls always amaze me with your talents!

This week our challenge is to use your favorite white pen/marker. I have tried many and still struggle to find one that I love. The one I chose to use is a Sakura paint pen. I chose to do a card using some Crate Paper Katlin line. Love this yummy fun girly paper! I also used a wonderful image from our sponsor, The Stamping Boutique called Rainy Cynthia.

Here's my card,

Here is how I used the white pen. I added some faux stitching around the pink cardstock and the circle element. Then to bring out the doodling in the dp, I doodled inside the circle above the ribbon. This was totally outside my box. I am not a doodler, at all. Can I tell you just how much FUN I had with this one!!!!

Here is the fabby Rainy Cynthia. I used a variety of markers to color her in.

Once again, we are sponsored by The Stamping Boutique and our grand prize winner will receive two digi's from them. So, now are you ready to share your favorite white pen and a project showcasing it? I want to know which is your favorite white pen! And as always, visit my fabby dt sisters over on my sidebar, be sure to leave them some love!
Blessings for a Marvelous Monday!

A Sister is a Forever Friend...

Happy Thursday,
Today I have a card that was inspired by this yummy Crate Paper pack. The card was missing something, so I stamped some flourishes and then glued pearls down on top of the flourish. I still can't decide if I'm completely happy with it or no. Oh well, both my sisters love anything I make for them. I'd really like to know your thoughts on it....

Card Patterns 23

Here is my second girl card. On this card, I used the Card Patterns sketch 23. I love this sketch and knew it would be perfect for one of these girl cards. I used Crate Paper, an image from Squigglfly, Basic Gray chipboard, Martha Stewart glitter, CTMH White Daisy cs, and Kimberly's colored pencils, the ribbon is from stash...not really sure that I like the ribbon, but felt it needed something 3D on the image.




Blessings,

Good Morning All,
I am posting a pic. of our lovely Whispering Winds here in Sevierville, TN. This is a picture of the house that I took when I was here back in October. I told the girls who are with me, it feels like I am home, sipping coffee, and scrappin' in my jammies!

My post this morning is one that I love, this is Jon-Christopher about 4 years ago at his Uncle Scott and Aunt Jessica's wedding.

Ashlea was the flower girl and when the wedding was over, she ran to her brother to give him a big hug. These were just too precious not to scrap!

Recipe:
Cardstock: Bazzill
Dp: Crate Paper
Bling and flowers: Prima
Brads: Bazzill
Title: Doodlebug glitter alphas.
Journaling tag: K&C0.
Hope you're having a great Monday!

Good Thursday Morning,
Well, the holiday weekend is almost here! I am going to our lake house in Tennessee for the weekend to celebrate the 4th of July. On Sunday, some friends and I are going to Whispering Winds (located in Pigeon Forge, TN) for a scrapbook retreat! Go over to their link and check it out. We went in October and it is just the perfect house for scrapbooking and the accommodations are just heavenly!
Anyways, here is my take on the Creative Scrappers Sketch 58. I had a lot of fun with this sketch! I pulled out some pics of my little Ashlea from Tybee two years ago and almost wept at just how she has grown and changed in the past two years.
I hope you enjoy your beautiful day ahead!

Recipe: Everything used is Katlin by Crate Paper
Ink: Pansy Purple CTMH
