{SFYTT} Happy Happy Happy Birthday

Good afternoon!

I realized that today is the last day of October, and I had yet to finish a card for the October SFYTT.  At this point in the year, I certainly didn't want to ruin my chances of winning some goodies!

Luckily, speeding things up for me, I had some of this stuff laying out on my desk.  I was going to make a different card with it, but this turned out better than I had planned!

The presents are from Warmest Wishes, by There She Goes, and the die is also part of that set!  The sentiment is a Plain Jane stamp set from Verve Stamps.

All papers are from the Echo Park This & That collection.

Thanks for stopping by!  Happy Halloween!

{TPE-SC131} Toes!

Good afternoon!

I hope everyone is safe and sound after Sandy roared through.  We were fortunate enough to have no damage left in her path, just some branches scattered about.  It certainly was some strong winds blowing around though!

This crummy weather is perfect for keeping the kids inside and stealing a few minutes to do some scrapping!  I really wish I could steal more than a few minutes....

This week the Pink Elephant Scrapbook Challenge was a recipe challenge.  Three photos, buttons, and flowers!

My little man, as evident in the photos, found he had these two feet with all those toes to play with!  They kept him busy!

All the supplies used on this page are from the Cool Breeze collection by Fayette Designs.

{TPE-SC30} Inseparable

I am sooooo glad The Pink Elephant has started their weekly Scrapping Challenges again!

I started digital scrapbooking just over a year ago, and I LOVE IT!  So, these challenges might just help me start to get caught up on all the scrapping I have gotten so very far behind on! (who am I kidding, I'll NEVER get caught up!)

This colour combo really grew on me!  Especially once I went through my stash of Digi Kits, and found one that fit perfectly!

 
All the elements are from the Party Central kit.  It was a free with purchase kit from September when Pickleberrypop was celebrating their anniversary.

If you haven't checked out The Pink Elephant, make sure you head over there.  Since the Scrapbook Challenges have started back up, they are in search of a new DT!  For more details, click HERE.

A Day to Remember

Sorry, it's been awful quiet here again.  I really do have the best of intentions to get cards made and posted, but it just isn't happening.  Maybe once the snow flies (dare I say it!) I'll be spending more time here at my desk!

I actually had my card for the September SFYTT made a few weeks ago, but I never got around to getting it posted.

My parents had a wedding to attend, and my mom asked me to make them a card.  I had just got some new goodies from Verve Stamps in the mail, so they were the perfect choice!

I used the new set, Treasured Words and also the Rounded Rectangle die for the sentiment panel.  Other dies I used on this card are Leafy Sprigs, Floral Circles and the Flourished Trim die.

  Thanks for stopping by!

Challenge Complete!

With this.....I give you a completed challenge!  For the first time in what seems like forever, I have actually completed a challenge!  I adore my There She Goes stamps, and so wanted to get all the Birthday Celebration challenges completed.  Who could turn down a chance at winning $75 in TSG Stamps? (not me!)

The 5th Challenge was to create a card using at least 3 embellishments.  I used 1 ribbon and 4 brads!

After using the present from Warmest Wishes on my last card, I had to use it again.  I absolutely love how it turned out!

The sentiment is from Sentimental Birthday.

All the paper is from Echo Park Hello Summer.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Another Happy 60th!

A friend asked me to make a few cards for her, with two of them being 60th Birthday cards.  With all the celebrating happening over at There She Goes, it was perfect to join in on the fun with these cards!

The 4th Challenge was to use banners.  With all the banners out there, in paper form, or dies, this challenge was super easy!

I started by stamping the "Happy" and "60th", from Numbered Days, onto Kraft cardstock.  I then stamped the present, from Warmest Wishes, onto 2 different pieces of the designer paper, This & That by Echo Park.

The present was then cut out using the Warmest Wishes die.

The sketch is based on the Mojo Monday Sketch #258.

Happy 60th!

Good Morning!

I'm back with another There She Goes Challenge card.  This card is based on the TSG Inspiration Challenge.

This card didn't end up exactly as I had envisioned it, but I do still like the result!  I began by stamping the present, from Scent-sational, then colouring and cutting it out.  The numbers were stamped onto some Early Bird DP, cut out then mounted onto the white cs.

The sketch is Karen's Sweet Sunday Sketch #167.

I still have a few cards to get made, so stay tuned....I'll maybe get all these challenges in!

Thanks for stopping by!
