~Candy Bag & Card Set~

Good morning my friends, 

I have a fun little project today, a gift set of sorts...a glassine bag for candy

and a mini card perfect for Valentine's Day or any other day I say! :)

 Here is a close up of the card and the other side of the baggy. 

Just love that this bag is included in the Chasing Pavements Kit from Scraptastic Club!

 Scraptastic has started making their own custom stamps 

and the are a fun time too!

 I couldn't resist sticking this little fellow out of the card LOL

 And I hope you can tell I glittered the CANDY-

 I also misted the Thickers- they are perfect for the Mister Huey's from the Add-on. 

 The word bubble and quote if from the stamp set as well. 

Anyways this is a fun kit and I am really falling hard for the amazing

colors. I know they are not your traditional winter tones but I LOVE THAT!

Ok I am off today- getting ready for some little faces to arrive at my home next week. 

Happy Friday my friends!!!

~New "Do" & Waves Of Fun~

Good morning friends,

If you are on my Facebook you know I got a new "do" this week 

and if not just scroll down, I had about 4" cut off my hair. I like it! :) 

Anyways I wanted to share this layout that I forgot to share *gasp*

from last month's Scraptastic Club Kit.  

 It was such a fun kit with the funky artsy side. I loved using it. 

 I have been scrap-booking my gf's pictures (Jennifer) from

their beach vacation. It's so weird scrapbooking someone else's photos

but it is fun too! :) I used the add-on stamp kit too. 

 I rarely stamp on layouts but had fun with this one. 

I also stitched all around the layout with my sewing machine. 

Aren't these little tags cute? :) 

So how fun is this new "do"? I love it! :) 

Light and airy for summertime. 

Happy Friday my friends, stay tuned for tomorrow's post, we have a 

special blog hop with PRIZES coming tomorrow! :) 

~Crafty Blessing~

Good morning my lovely crafty friends,

I thought I was just scrapping a layout yesterday,
but it ended up being very emotional for some reason.

Crafting has brought such enrichment to my life.
It has brought me out of my shell and allowed me to be as brave and
bold as I needed to be to pursue happiness in a whole new way.
I have met the MOST amazing people of my life while
crafting and encouraging craftiness as a whole.
One of those amazing events happened around Christmas
when a bunch of my amazing crafty friends all got together
to buy a special gift for a dear friend.
It was not my crafty friends who surprised me as much as my husband!Who not only stood up and said "Let's do this how can I help" but also
when I told him I needed to drive to Alabama to deliver this gift
in time for Christmas Day, he stood up again and said "Let's GO!"I don't know why it surprised me, he knows I have a soft heart and he
always stands beside me helping with a smile...but for some reason it really
validated to me that he finds my crafting a treasure and not a nuisance in
any way shape or form...so instead of scrapping the pictures of my gf, I decided
to make a layout in homage to him and his support.
I am rambling today sorry :)

Journaling strips:
I am always amazed by the incredible generosity and kind hearted
crafters I have met online and in person.
This year is no different, and the biggest blessing is hubby who always
jumps up to help me even if it means driving to Alabama before Christmas.
Journaling:
Such a blessing to meet amazing people who share my passion for crafting
and love for others. I am so blessed to have been a part of this special gift.
I will never forget those beautiful hearts, all for you Aymee.

Came but for friendship, and took away love.

Happy Monday my friends, I hope you find your passion in crafting
because when you find that love and passion, you will never let it go!

~It's the 25th Dirty Scraps time!!~

Good morning all you amazing crafters!

Guess what?? This weekend we hit 300 followers!
Which means I have a special party planned!!!!!!
So be sure to stay tuned...

Guess what today is? the 25th! Which means a NEW Dirty Scraps challenge is up!

I can honestly say this is one of the hardest layouts I have ever
completed and it drained me last night.
But I am glad to have done it, no regrets.
You have to check out challenge #2 for Dirty Scraps!
The journaling is on the Dirty Scraps blog
for anyone interested.
I love this picture, I took it from my front door.

I am so excited and grateful for everyone who has followed
and for those who have been there from the beginning!
What an amazing journey scrapbooking has been in my life.

I started scrapping 2 years ago and I really feel like scrapbooking has
helped me to find my voice and a confidence and LOVE I never
would have known without it.
Of course there have been a few bumps int he road but all in all
I have met the most amazing people, and made some the the best friends.
Plus it has given me a reason to get out of the house and meet
people from all over the world. I mean how cool is that?!
Overall scrapbooking has been 99% positive and I am thankful for everyone who
have shared my journey and sticks with me through the good and the bad...
and basically REAL LIFE!

~Have a great Monday, I hope you find some craft happiness today!

~Scooter's Vacation?! How fun!~

It's a late night post for me, I am gearing up
for tomorrow and the REVEAL for Scrapbooking From The Inside Out!
I have some cool pages to share from that kit...
in the mean time, I have had SO MUCH FUN
playing with the new Imaginisce kit...
SCOOTER'S VACATION!

Now I will be the first to admit I had to reroute my thinking
when it comes to the more themed paper, but
I am so happy I have! I love the fun cute pages I have been creating.
I always have fun pictures I love but they have no particular
emotional heavy meaning, just fun family travel pictures
So this was a great way to scrap the fun stuff!

Everything here except for the Thickers/Jenni Bowlin Title
is the Scooter's Vacation line form Imaginisce! LOVE IT!

I took this picture last fall in TN on the back roads
in Nashville. I love the fall here and taking those back roads
always leave me nostalgic for country drives hubby used to take
me on while I was 9 months pregnant. :)

More news...
I have decided to begin a new challenge blog...
there will be more news to come on this one! :)
I hope you stay tuned!

~Have a great last day of 2009~
~I appreciate every last one of you~

~Merry Christmas to all and to all a good crafty night!~

I am posting my Christmas Day post a little bit early...
so I can spend the day with my sweet family.

Merry Christmas to my crafty friends!

I have a special link for you today, a link to a GIVEAWAY!

SFIO KIT! And I have this kit, it's my first one...

in January! I do hope you join SFTIO and if not please look into the kits.
They are jam packed full and really make you think.
It will inspire you and make you want to use your creativity.

Ok and the other project I have is an Imaginisce Layout!
My last Christmas LO of the year...I think? LOLI love LOVE the Polar Expressions Line! It is so fun to play with,

Their paper is double sided so any scrapper can make it work,
I am amazed at how much I love them.
