I adore this face.

Have you ever hung onto something SO LONG that you forgot you had it?? That's what I did with these papers from Imaginisce. I just found them on the weekend. I have had for 2 years now (at least) BUT I LOVE the way that they look with this picture, the alphas & against the kraft cardstock.

Supplies: Cardstock-Bazzill, the Paper Company, papers-Imaginisce, Alphas-Flocked Thickers, buttons-from stash

Besure to check back tomorrow for the LIITD reveal! Have a great night!

2 More Crop LO's :)

Hello Friends!

I have 2 more LOs to share from last weekend. I have been hanging onto these pics of LM for a few months and this Daisy Bucket paper even longer! He has recently discovered lollipops (as he calls them) and would gladly eat them for breakfast if I would let him-LOL.

I added googley eyes to this little guy (thanks T for the reccomendation!) and buttons galore-the space felt empty.Supplies: CS-Bazzill (Swiss Dot), pps-Daisy Bucket, Alphas-Scenic Route & Pink Paislee, Buttons-Assorted, Leaves-American Crafts, Metal rimmed tag-$1 Store.

* * * * * * * *
I was SO inspired by Bo Bunny's new line of die cut papers that I attempted to make my own on the below LO. This LO is of DH and LM at an outdoor even a few weeks ago.

Supplies: CS-Bazzill (& Swiss Dot), pps-Sassafras Lass, Creative Cafe, Border sticker-Pink Paislee, Owl Stamp-Michael's (Stazon Ink), Metal tag-$1 Store, Alphas-Scenic Route, Thickers (rain boot font), Buttons-American Crafts.

Thanks for stopping by! Have a happy Wednesday!

What a weekend!

Hello Friends!

Why does a weekend of scrapping boost my mojo but wipe me out? I had a SUPER-FUN time scrapping with my pal (the incredibly talented TraceyT) this weekend at a Scrapbooking Gone Wild crop in St George. I attribute my progress of 3 completed LOs (and a 4th that I started) to the fact that we arrived late and had to sit diagonally from each other. We still had plenty of oppertunity to LOL as we were trying not to yell at each other across the table-since I do NOT wear my glasses-I am ROTTEN at reading lips-so there were plenty of mis-communications and TONNES of laughing (at myself mostly).

Good food, good shopping, good scrapping & lots of laughs.

I TOTALLY needed it. Thanks, T!

* * * * * * * *

I will post this LO first (this was the one I was starting as the weekend was winding down). DH has a new found love of collecting arcade games and LM and I are dis-covering how much fun playing them together can be-we are HOOKED!

* * * * * * * *

Check out the cute little clay Pacman & ghost that I got from My Little Bit of Whimsy! So glad you suggested these, Steph! They were PERFECT for my LO!

Supply list: CS-Bazzill, Prism, sassafras lass-border & star sticker, Cherry sticker/ Alphas-American Crafts, buttons-Michaels DMC Floss

* * * * * * * *

This LO was based on a FAB sketch made by Kristine Davidson (exclusively for the crop). This LO is a RE-do but I am glad I did it. It's MUCH prettier the way it is now. I even got appplause for using bling (I have a MINOR fear of ruining it)

Supplies: CS-Kraft, paper-Making Memories, Basic Grey, Little Yellow Bicycle, Alphas-Scenic Route, Bling-Prima, Kaiser, Stamps-Autumn Leaves, Buttons-American crafts

* * * * * * *

Last but not least, I made this card for World Cardmaking day (LIITD Challenge) but didn't get it posted in time. YIKES!

I still thought I would share it though :)

Supplies: pp-My Mind's Eye, We R Memory Keepers, Tag-Creative cafe,, Journal card-GCD, Owl, greenery-MME, Button-K&Co, Alphas-Pink Paislee, DMC Floss

Thanks for popping by! Happy Tuesday!

Woohoo! We had the most devine kit this month! It was all Bella Boullivard & American Crafts Hallowe'en line topped off with a helping of purple glittery alphas. You can get a closer look at the kit HERE. In the meantime, here is what I did with my kit. (I had so many images to post, I decided to split them up between 2 posts-check back tomorrow for the second half.)

Journalling: You had so much fun at Jack's 6th birthday party. You put on this crown and stated, 'Look at me, Momma! I'm a Queen! I corrected you and said, 'That would make you a KING.' But giggled at how cute you were! :)
