Oh Baby

I don't know about you but I'm so happy it's the start of the weekend today.  To kick off your creative juices for the weekend I've made this adorable BABY card using Scrapping Cottage dies.  The lamb is actually from their Easter collection but it's perfect for baby cards too. 

He was so easy to create with the die...I cut and then lightly inked the edges with some distress ink ..THAT WAS IT and look how adorable he is. 

Here is a complete list of dies and products used for this card:

Baby Lamb and Friends

Mini Pickett Fence

Plain Pennants

Scallop Pennants

Kara Ashley Alphabet Die

Unity Stamps

Simple Stories Paper

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving!!!  I hope everyone is a having a blessed weekend with family and friends.  I heard a little saying the other day if you only had today what you had thank God for yesterday...What would you have?  I know my list would be to long to name.  I truly am blessed with my family, friends and my life.

Today I created a treat box for you using My Mind's Eye Christmas Lost and Found Collection.  You can pick yours up at Beary Scrap.  I also used the adorable Gingerboy Chef from Scrapping Cottage.  He is from a special release just for Black Friday and is on sales this weekend along with a ton of other great goodies, so be sure to check it out on this shopping hall of fame weekend. 

Lastly I wanted to share some bittersweet news...The Beary Scrap Challenge Blog and Design Team is coming to an end.  Don't worry the shop will still continue on bringing you those collections you love.  I'm sure Kimm from Beary Scrap will be coming up with awesome ideas to share with you all in the future so she'll be seeing you around blogland, just not through the challenge site.  I've really enjoyed my time with Beary Scrap and will miss the rest of my design team sisters...they are so wonderful. 

Have a great holiday and know YOU are on my list of things to be thankful for. 

Hugs,

It's Celebration Time

I wanted to share with everyone Beary Scraps latest challenge...IT'S AWESOME!  Anything goes...yeap you got it, ANYTHING, plus you can enter as many times as you'd like.  At the end of the month one lucky winner will win a $30 shopping spree!!!! So be sure to link up your projects, you might just win.

For this card I used the paper collection from My Minds Eye: Lost and Found.  It has so much diversity, it's so fun to use.  The die is one of Scrapping Cottages newest Christmas releases...and let me tell you the Ornate Poinsettia die is beautiful. 

Have a great day and be on the lookout for some weekend posts from me.

Hot Cocoa Cafe Sneak Peek

You are all going to love the new collection from Cottage Cutz/ Scrapping Cottage that is coming out soon.  Hot Cocoa Cafe is so stinkin cute, it's not even funny. It's so detailed it really doesn't need anything else on the card.

I also used the Scallop Three Edger die along the top...fit in just perfectly.

Have a great week and I'll see you in a few days.

Hugs,

Boo To You

I have to admit I'm not one of those artist that has a concept of a project before I begin and then go and create what my mind conceived.  Nope...not me at all.  I'm more the speed of sit down and see what happens.  I might have a die, stamp or paper line I have in mind but that's about as much planning as I do.  So as you can imagine, sometimes my projects are home runs and sometimes...well just ...let's just say some aren't, LOL.  This card to me is one of my home runs...I LOVE IT!!!!  

I started with the My Mind's Eye Mischievous paper line that Beary Scraps has just gotten in and it's super cute.My paper helped me choose my puppies colors and then everything started to come together for this double Z fold card.  Don't you just love this puppy die from Cottage Cutz dies....so stinkin cute. The puppy actually is connected to the card/pumpkin by twine so he can be pulled out to say BOO TO YOU, but he won't come all the way out, which ensures he stays with the card :)

Once you untie the front a Happy Halloween Sentiment is ready to pop out and greet you.  Overall I adore this card... everything about it just came together perfect. 

Here is a complete list of all the adorable dies I used for this card all from The Scrapping Cottage/ Cottage Cutz.

Be sure to scoop up your dies...I've heard they are selling out. 

Hugs,
