MOM {card}

Hello! I am up on the Clear Scraps blog today sharing a card I made for my mom using one of the lovely Butterfly Send it Clear Cards.

Here is an image of the front of the card and a peek of the coordinating envelope. For more photos and details head on over to my post on the Clear Scraps blog.

Scrap & Play DT

So excited to finally be able to share that I am on the DT for Scrap & Play, a new challenge blog! Head on over to the blog and check out the other team members as well as the fun challenge. A new one will be posted on Thursday, and there is an awesome prize up for grabs, too. See you there... :)

kiss the balloon

Time sure has been slipping by quickly lately. I was up on the Clear Scraps blog again the other day, but failed to share this layout on my own blog. You can see the inspiration behind the bubbles by clicking on the Clear Scraps blog here.

This layout cracks me up! Ashlyn was pretty stoned, if you will, from the pain meds she was taking in the hospital after her surgery in early March. She has no recollection of kissing this balloon, and even denied doing so until I showed her the pictures. lol So glad I was able to capture this. :)

Happy Mother's Day to all the momma's out there! 

Altered frame- Curtsey Boutique

Hi everyone! :) Today I have a project to share with you- just a day late. ;) Yesterday my first project as a design team member for The Curtsey Boutique was featured.

I love love love this new Parisian Map Ruffled flower- it is gorgeous! I pulled the colors from the fabric and for visual interested created a quilted look. I then adorned the project with some fun gold sequins, which I also adore. The wooden button is from The Curtsey Boutique store as well. I painted it gold to match.

Isn't the flower gorgeous?! 

You can find these beauties, as well as many others, but visiting the Curtsey Boutique's Etsy store here.

Hi everyone! Today I am sharing the first challenge of a brand new challenge site, Scrap & Play. When Tammi asked if I would like to be a guest designer for her first challenge I jumped on the opportunity!

Here is my layout for the first challenge, which is a sketch challenge. You really need to head over to the blog and join in- there is an amazing prize!!! Just sayin'.

Thanks for stopping by. :) Happy May Day! Speaking of which, did you ever make flower cones to fill with flowers and leave them on someones doorknob when you were younger? I remember doing this for several years. If I had been thinking ahead, I would have randomly picked a few neighbors to surprise with some nice flowers. 

SID DT call

Hi everyone. The past two weeks have just been a big blur. Ashlyn had 6 Dr. appts last week and has 5 this week. As if that isn't enough, Skylar officially started the process to join the Navy on Friday night and there has been something everyday. I have barely had time to breathe, let alone create. I am itching to play with paper- hopefully this weekend will be free and clear so I can do so. :)

Stick it Down is having a DT call. You really should check it out and apply. You only need to create one layout (or card) per month. There is a new sketch each week ranging from single page layouts to cards and even a double page sketch each month. For all the details click here.

Prom, Easter projects, and a fun new challenge site

Hi! The past few days have been crazy busy. Bear with me, this post is going to be sort of a catch up, if you will.
Skylar's prom was Saturday evening. Here she is looking absolutely stunning! (I'm not partial or anything *wink*). This is not the final version and I did not get any with her and her date as we had a funeral to attend, but thankfully we got to at least see her. :)

This sweet girl graduates in a few short weeks. Time sure has flown by. *sniff*

**********************

Here are a few Easter goodies I whipped together while Ashlyn's teacher was here on Friday. I always make the girls something special for each Holiday, however this year has been really off and I haven't made them anything, so this was a big deal. 

I used 3 Birds for both projects. 

*************************************

Lastly, I want to share a new challenge site with you. Tammi Bennett, who was the previous owner of the My Scraps & More store and sketch blog, is launching a new challenge blog on May 1st called Scrap & Play. There are going to be all kinds of  fun challenges, so head on over to check it out! She is also having a DT call- you can find all the details here. 

Until next time, take care! :)
