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.....

On This Day....

This layout is for my Better Scrap newsletter project. I used a bold color palette and journaled on a shaped journal box. The paper, journal box and the big flower all came in one of my past Lucky Girl kits. The other two flowers and the bling are by Prima and the rubons are American Crafts. Those yummy buttons are by Charlene's Button Box.

The challenge was to scrap a birthday that was significant. That was easy for me. On my 26 birthday, the love of my life asked me to be his wife. Without that life changing gift, I would not be the incredibly happy woman I am today.

first shot...

I'm back with this great sketch from Debbie at Frosted Designs, with Sketch Along Tuesday.
I love this sketch and decided to play along tonight!



I so wanted to scrap this photo of my little man that my brother in law took right after he helped Jon-Christopher "get" his first two squirrels!

The background paper, banner, and alphas are left over Lucky Girl kits from back in the summer. The red polka dot is MME, the pom trim and buttons are from stash. The arrow and other stickers are CTMH as is the ink.

I had fun with this one and I'm so proud of my little man!

Beautiful layout! I love the gathered ribbon and the journaling box on there like that. Perfect!

I'm very thankful for my boys being at the stage where we appreciate each other in a new way as adults and hang out together at holidays. :)

And this is my last of the Lucky Girl layouts for November. This one is Ashlea's football homecoming from September. She was one of the fifth grade representatives. Her little escort was more nervous than she was!

I loved using the two ribbon flowers that came in the kit on this one and more of that yummy brown ribbon!

Today is a new reveal over at Frosted Designs too!!! Head on over to see what my fabby Frosted Sisters has for your Friday inspiration!
