~More Avocado Arts Fun + BIG Announcement!!~

Good morning my friends,

I have one more card to share with the fun Sew Nice

stamps from Avocado Arts this month.

I wanted to make a very luscious and soft rich card, so I used

the Tally Scrapper April Kit with the Webster's Pages papers in it.

And used the flower as a lacy background stamp,

and the random stitching line stamp as the bee's trail.

I truly love this card! LOVE IT! haha

I also made buttons from the stamps and tucked them under

the sentiment. This card is going to a very special friend.

Happy Tuesday my friends.

I hope you enjoyed my Avocado Arts projects, I am sure

I have one more in me this month. Maybe even 2! :)

Ok I have a special announcement today...2012 has been

a great year for NEW and exciting projects.

I admit I was sad last year to see a few companies go BUT it was

definitely for the best, so many opportunities have opened up.

just like this one....

~Life's Better With Friends!~

Good morning from beautiful TN!

With the house so quiet I am having a very creative week.

Today I have a layout I made yesterday from the Tally Scrapper

April Kit "Blooms & Wings". This kit is so dreamy, I love it!

I am so blessed with wonderful friends here in TN. I mean true blue

amazing friends, Adrienne is just one of the amazing friends I have.

You know I often think that I had such an awful childhood and life

that I believe God had blessed me in so many more ways as an adult.

Don't get me wrong, I struggle daily with intense pain and other issues

but when it comes to family and friends, my cup really is overflowing!

We all go through those ups and downs but I am so blessed to have

strong rocks beside me even in those down times.

To me...THIS is what scrapbooking is all about.

My children will look back on my pages and say "Wow she may have

not had it easy all the time but she was thankful and loved with all of her heart"

At least that's what I hope they say *wink* hehe

In reality they could say "Why the heck did she have that pink hair???" LOL

OK off to create some more today, I am feeling the mojo this week!

Don't forget yesterday's GIVEAWAY!! You still have time to enter!

Thank YOU for stopping by, I love my friends♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

~Happy to Scrap Saturday~

Happy Saturday my crafty friends!

I am so excited, I found out yesterday that yes..I will be teaching in Cave City, KY

again this year! I loved it last year....I had 200 students and it was a blast!

If you are anywhere near Cave City, go sign up! An ENTIRE day of scrapbook classes

4 full classes and lunch too! See the Upcoming Classes tab above for info.

Ok on to scrapbooking right? LOL

Once again I used the Tally March Kit "Lucy you got alot of scrappin' to do!"

It will be up on March 1st at 8am central time.

I sure had fun with this kit. I often speak about my family and I love

waking up early and cooking fresh eggs for the boys for breakfast.

It's such a small thing but I wanted to scrap it anyways.

If nothing else, when I pass on the boys can show this to their kids :)

Or maybe I will be able to share with them if I am still here.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE October Afternoon and this kit was full of it!

I also used my Glue Arts *of course* LOL

And I even found an old Maya Road mini album page (the house)

to paint and use rub-ons with.

I wish I was this creative all the time LOL

DON'T FORGET about yesterdays D-stress GIVEAWAY! :)

♡I am off to spend the weekend with my boys♡

~Have a beautiful day, thank you for popping by~

~Scrapping With Love Sunday~

Good morning and happy Sunday to my friends all over the place!

It was so nice to be able to sit down and play with paper

yesterday while hubby took the boys out for a while.

I had a wonderful weekend with friends and today I am headed out to

Mt. Juliet to teach the Imaginisce/Clear Scraps Class!

I played with the February Kit from Tally yesterday and managed

to come up with this unique layout ✄✄

I made the "polaroids" with Hambly paper and it's shimmery in person!

I also used a heck of alot of Glue Arts UCUT on this page!

And alot of fun vintage pieces I had in my stash. I have been waiting to use

this hanger for over a year now! You know that Target commercial with

Taylor Swift walking through a field with polaroids hanging off strings?

It completely inspired me and I wanted to have that feel on my page.

Ok ok it didn't work 100% LOL but you get the idea.

Most everything else was from the Feb. Kit. I had alot of fun making it.

If you have not come to Tally to play, it is alot of fun! Come play with me!

~Ok I am off to finish packing for class...have a beautiful Sunday~

Thank YOU for coming by to say hello~

TOMORROW the Cricut Cartrideg WINNER will be announced!

~Not All Cards Have To Be Folded...Right?! haha~

Good morning my crafty friends!

I missed blogging yesterday because I spent the day

Saturday out with friends and watching Black Swan which

was fantastic! I love horror movies, movies with suspense and movies

with a Hitchcock feel and I was totally wowed! It was a lovely day.

Ok back to crafting right? :)

I made this card using the Love in Paris Tally Scrapper Kit

for February and I love that it has a sheet of acrylic in it!

Everything except the buttons were from the kit....

This is the back for writing.

You know it is RARE that I say I LOVE one of my cards

but I genuinely love this card, it's so funky~

The acrylic is from Clear Scraps of course...and I love the acrylic

from Clear Scraps, it makes me smile ♥

Oh and I used my Glue Arts Perma Tac on the card too.

I was testing it out on the acrylic with paper and it worked perfectly!

I had trouble with other glues burning the acrylic and

also I lost 10 acrylic projects alone last year from yellowing and cracking

but this Perma Tac worked, so I might have to try it some more.

Ok I am off to finish projects and hit the Fed Ex office!!

Have a beautiful Monday everyone!

OHHHH this week I have a Cricut Cartridge GIVEAWAY coming up

so please stay tuned! WOOHOO!!!!!
