OMG!!! Technology Malfunction!

Hey Blogworld!

I'm SOOOOO sorry!  I scheduled this post to go online Nov 10/14 and I'm just checking in now and realized that it didn't get posted.  Not sure how that happened...(or what I did wrong) but here is my (hopeful) inspiration for this month's 123 Get Scrappy Bingo Board challenge!

I dug deep into my stash with this layout!  Soo happy to breathe life into some old tools and products.
Be sure to head over to 123GetScrappy to get the latest bingo board inspiration and join along in the fun!
I used the middle row: One word title: More than 2 ribbons: masculine

While I'm at it, I'd like to submit this layout the following challenges:

CMS: Challenge #74-Colour Scheme and use leaves on the layout!

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Thanks/Thankful

Can't wait to see what you've created!

Loving the Anything Goes!

Hey Blogworld!

Autumn is in full swing here in my neck of the woods.  Loving all the beautiful colours....not loving the feeling that snow is creeping its way into town (a little to soon for my taste!).

Here is a card I made for my husband's father's birthday this month!  Always love to add photos to the cards for the family.  Love looking back and seeing how much my girlies have grown (and I know the grandparents love to as well!).

Patterned papers: MME, Sentiment Stamp: Paper Smooches!

I would like to submit this to the following challenges!
Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: Anything Goes
Paper Smooches Sparks Challenge: Anything Goes

Don't forget there is still time to head over toe 123 Get Scrappy to join in this month's scrapbook challenge!

Thanks so much for dropping by!

Challenge #15 Bingo Board Goodness Up and Running!

Hey Blogworld,

Another bingo board is up and running over at 123 Get Scrappy!

See if you can guess the theme of this month's board! (It took a while before I realized it!).

While I was going through my crazy overload of pictures to scrapbook I came across these photos from a few years back and knew I had to preserve this memory.  How adorable and so very wonderful Nonno and Nonna are!  I am truly blessed to be a part of their family!  They would do anything for my daughters (and Nonno isn't exactly your 'softy type').  It's a big deal that he let them do this makeover for him...and I know he'd let them do it over and over again!

Here is my take:

I used Tim Hotlz crackle paint for the 'hair' part after masking the word with stickers.

I used the top row: Pink-Plaid-Peace

I can't wait to see what you create!  Be sure to head on over to 123 Get Scrappy and link up your project for a chance to win a guest design spot!

You have until the end of the month!  Looking forward to seeing what you create!

Operation Scraproom: Still Under Construction...

Hey Everyone,
Boy will I ever be happy when my scrappy room is finally up an running.  Shelves are on the walls and desks and other furnitures are all in their proper place but I've got a TONNE of supplies that need to be weeded through and organized.  It doesn't help that I went to a scrapbook store Garage Sale on the weekend and got a bunch more stuff to add to the stash!  But no regrets!  Some wicked awesome deals to be had!  Anyways, my point is that I despite the condition of my creative space at the moment I still managed to scrounge together some of my available materials and put together a birthday card for my BIL.  I used a Sketch #107 from Sketchabilities as my spring board to jump from.  The rest was scraps found in my scrap drawer.  Happy to be witting this bin down (little by little!)

Sentiment stamp: PTI, jewel flourishes: Recollections

I always love added photos to my cards for family.  Love to look back on them and see how my girlies have changed!

I'd like to submit this to the following blogs:
Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Anything Goes
Sister Act Anything Goes Card Challenge: #76

Thanks so much for stopping by!

123 Get Scrappy Challenge #14 Up and Running!!

Hey Everyone!

Woooohoooo!  Another month means another challenge up and running over at 123 Get Scrappy!  The September board is sure to spark some inspiration (as they always do!).

Here is my creation!

I used the diagonal: Lots of Leaves: Brown Background: Long Title

And here is the Bingo Board for your creative pleasure:

Unfortunately crafting has been a scarce activity these last couple of weeks.  We had windows replaced throughout the house and a lot of the rooms had to be turned upside down and/or emptied to make room for the window installers and their equipment.  Of course this led to some redecorating endeavours which have yet to be completed.  One of those such rooms is my craft room.  All my stuff is packed away in boxes or under piles of other stuff making it hard to get any fun stuff done!  Working on limited supplies this week...but iz all good...all the more creative spark required!  Need that every now and then!  :D

Be sure to check out the rest of the design team over at 123 Get Scrappy and I hope to see your creations!

I'd also like to submit this to the following blog:

Scrap our Stash #18-"Back to School"-(A) graph paper, (B) alphas, pen, file folder (used to make the tag)

Thanks for dropping by!

SSS Kid's Vacation Challenge

Hey blog world!

My little C2 has been waiting for a kids challenge!  She was quite excited when Simon Says Stamp's Kids Vacation Challenge came along. It took a while for her to decide what she wanted to make her scrapbook layout on.  Once she figured that out she was unstoppable.  The 'make-a-layout-with-mommy' routine commenced.  She flipped through a binder I have full of sketches (mostly Page Maps) and she picked the one she wanted to do.  Then she went to my scrap paper drawers and picked out her patterned papers.  Once the bulk of that was done she added her embellies and boy was I quite impressed with what she wanted to have.  I'm pretty proud of her little creation and so is she!  (As my dad always says: "The coconut doesn't fall far from the coconut tree!")

Here's her creation.

Love her little Greeting Farm stamp and butterfly embellishments.  Not to mention the embossed baseball die-cute she aligned along the side.

Great job Miss C2!  Love ya!

Thanks for stopping by!
