Bliss....

Good Morning,

Today is a new challenge reveal at Practical Scrappers and we want to see your white core cardstock projects. If you follow my blog, you know that this is one of my all time fave techniques! I used some CTMH cardstock, the stylized flowers cuttlebug embossing folder, and some light sanding to get this distressed finish

I finished it off with a pretty wire edge matching ribbon from stash, a ticket from Lucky Girl Crafts, bloom and bling are from stash too.

I hope you'll find a great use for white core cardstock this week and share it with us. We are sponsored in September by Robyn's Fetish Digital. This week's winner will receive 5 images or paper sets. You'll have until Saturday, September 11 at 5:00 pm to enter.

Visit the rest of my fabby dt sisters all this week for daily inspiration, while you are there, leave them some love!!!

Better Scrap Reveal and a winner....

Good Morning,
I'm sorry this is kind of pieced together this morning. Our little man had to go to ER last night. He was fine and dandy then in just one spilt second he began to vomit and couldn't stop. He became limp, lifeless, and his eyes rolled back....we were scared to death and went straight to the ER. He got home about 3 am this morning. His white cell count is elevated, he got some ivs, and something for the nausea. He has been resting since....please pray for my little man.

And now I have the winner of my Lucky Girl Blog Party RAK.....

Are you ready for a new challenge reveal at Better Scrap?

Better Living Through Scrapbooking Challenge #6

“Bad photo challenge”
Create a layout using a photo or photos that you would normally have discarded or dismissed.

Chose at least 2 of the following:
1. Use rub-ons or stickers directly on your photo(s).
2. Use paint on your page in a messy or unusual way.
3. Use a die-cut or pre-purchased journaling “spot” on which to write your journaling.
4. Use this sketch as design inspiration for your page.
5. Make a handmade flower using Katie’s technique in our August 1st reveal, and use the flower on your layout.

Our sponsors for this month at Better Scrap are Graphic 45 and Discount Cardstock, so I've featured their yummy products in this layout

Supplies used:
Cardstock: Discount Cardstock “Patriot Blue Linen 12×12″; Patterned Paper: Graphic 45 “Hallowe’en in Wonderland”; Embellishments: Gauche Alchemy Punchinella, Making Memories journaling spot and silver alpha stickers, American Crafts white rub-ons, Prima bloom and brad, Doodle Genie template from Chatter Box, Gelly Roll white Pen

Criteria used:
I chose to use #1 rub-ons and stickers on the photo and #3 pre purchased journaling blocks. I love this photo of Ashlea at her most recent dance competition. It is blurry and the color is a tad off, but considering that it is a bad photo, I love how the layout turned out.

Thechnique used: I used a doodle template and a white pen to create a fresh little flourish on the Patriot Blue Linen cardstock. I decided that I’ve had this template for 4+ years and I need to make an effort to use it on more layouts.


We are holding a Labor Day giveaway on our Facebook page, and it’s so easy to win!

1 Fun Day....

Good Morning,

I'm sitting here at our lake house, getting ready for a fun day with my Little Kids.

Just a quick post to share this Lucky Girl layout. This is yet one more from the yummy September Falling for You kit!

This is a shot of my Daddy and the little man fishing over our July 4 holiday this year.

I'll be back later this evening with my winner for the RAK.....

Have a super fun Saturday!

Blessings,

Double Reveal Day....

Good Morning,
Today is a busy day here on my blog. We are having a photo inspiration challenge at Frosted Designs....Didn't Diana choose a beautiful photo to inspire us?

I chose to use this darling little "Ms. Birdie" digi image from Robyn's Fetish Digital Stamps, our sponsor this month.

My papers and bling are Hobby Lobby, the flower, button, and ribbon are from stash. I used a ticket left from my August Lucky Girl kit for the title...I have a coworker who is having hard time getting back into the school/home routine. I"m giving this card to her to remind her to trust herself and know that God has a plan for her as an educator.....
Please hop over to all my Fabby Frosted sisters and let them know that they inspire you!

Lucky Girl Blog Party Day 1...

Good Morning,

Today is day one of our September Blog Party over at Lucky Girl Craft Kits. Check out what we have to offer in our Falling for You kit....

Such a beautiful kit and packed with gorgeous blooms, ribbons, and divine papers!!!!

Here is my first layout for this kit. Everything on this page came from the kit, the only thing I added was a bit of ink to the flower to blend the color a bit and just a touch to the paper ribbon.

This layout is of my handsome oldest nephew, Tyler on his Senior Prom back in 2009, see, I'm waaaay behind! But I absolutely adore these photos of him and his little date. I took these photos before the prom. We had just had a huge rain storm and it stopped just long enough to travel to this 100+ year old church for photos.
