Rosette Wreath with Cock-A-Doodle-Doo

Love the way this wreath turned out..it's so stinkin cute.  I used the Cock-A-Doode -Doo release from KaiserCraft...it's it adorable.  I love making rosette's anyhow so this just seemed the perfect thing to create this month for Kaiser.   Their chipboard animals made it so easy and add the finishing touch.  Here are some close up of the wreath...but be warned, it's going to make you want to make one yourself, LOL.

 See ya soon

Play Wild with KaiserCraft

Who hasn't seen a five year old "Play Wild"...that is the only way my little one knows how to play.  This layout was done using Kaiser's Cock-A-Doodle-Do collection that is just perfect  for kid themed projects. 

I know banners have been hot for a while, but I still love them. 

The picket fence was stamped and then fussy cut out and it made a great border along the layout. 

Lots more coming this week, so be sure to turn back in...

Prickley Pear Monday

I hope everyone had a wonderful long holiday weekend.  Today it's time to jump right back into crafting with Prickley Pear. 

I created this holiday card using Prickley Pear's dies and stamps and I just continue to love their products the more I use them.  The clear stamps line up so perfectly with the dies...easy peasy.

I have a ton on tap for you this week so keep checking in and also be sure to head on over the Prickley Pear's Blog and check out the rest of the design teams designs for this week, always some great inspirations.

Christmas Kisses with KaiserCraft

It was such a treat to have KaiserCraft release a surprise Christmas collection ithat is just super cute and whimsy.  Merry Medley is adorable with it's lively colors and musical theme...and we all know how hot that is right now. 

This is a layout I did taken a few years back at Christmas...priceless Christmas Kisses.  My sister was the lucky recipient of those sticky Christmas Kisses. LOL.

Be sure to get your hands on some Merry Medley as it won't be around forever and it's perfect for the holiday season.

Black Friday Heartfelt Release, It's a Winner!

I love Heartfelt Creations designs but when I saw this release, OH MY was I excited.  It is just stunning and I don't know what else to say.  The spellbinders dies that go with the new Gatefold collection are intricate and unique, you are going to have to have a set. 

There are also new flowers in the collection that are a must...they are just so beautiful on any project.  The card I created used the Gatefold Spellbinders for the arch and of course the new flowers are the finishing touch.

Be sure to check out the special release from Heartfelt, it's a Black Friday deal you'll be sure to love and also take a look at the rest of the design team and their creations they came up with.

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.

Prickley Pear Monday

Happy Monday and also Happy Thanksgiving week.  Today is Prickley Pear day and I wanted to share this card I created using their stamps.  The sentiment is perfect for the Autumn season that we in.  I also love the little leaves that came from Pumpkin Clear Stamp and the Pumpkin Die. They were just that perfect little added something I needed.

This week is going to be busy, busy, busy but I hope you will find some time to stop in and see my creations.

Had to Let You Know

I thought I would share an awesome sale that is going on for just a few days, and it's only once a year.  Unity Stamps is having all of their stamps 45% off...EVERYTHING!!!!  Yeap I have to admit I had a little shopping spree myself.  So hurry on over and scoop up some of the beautiful stamps they have to offer and spread the word. 

Do You Play Along With Kaiser?

We love the beach and one of the fun things that my little likes to watch for is Gators...so this is his idea of Gator Hunting...high up on the dock looking down at the gators.  The KaiserCraft collection I used is from the new Cock-a-doodle-doo and it's so great for kids. 

My question to you is did you know that KaiserCraft has a challenge each month with layout sketches.  There is a sketch a week that you can do and you can submit for all of them or just one, your choice. Prizes are to be had and plus it gives you a chance to use some of Kaiser's yummy collections.  Be sure to check it out on the blog every Saturday.

See ya next week

It's Beginning to Look A Lot Like.......

Christmas!!!!  I can't believe Christmas music is already on the radio...really?  I do love the season but somehow this year I'm not getting into it quite yet.  Maybe this card will do the trick. 

The collection of paper is from Beary Scrap/ My Mind's Eye 12 Days of Christmas.  I love the retro feel of the paper...50ish looking.  It really is different and fun and you should have it in your collection for sure.

The stamps and dies I used are from Prickley Pear, along with the sketch.  I love the way Prickley's clear stamp line up with the cut dies perfectly...really it makes creating super fun.

Now here is the really great part... Prickley Pear has changed their sketch challenge...you don't even have to use their stamps, just follow the sketch, link it up and you might win a $15 gift certificate for whatever your heart desires in the store.  What it even better...right now at Beary Scrap it's anything goes and you could win a $30 gift certificate to the store...WOW!!!  Just think one project would satisfy both challenges and there are some great prizes out there.  So jump in and play.

Hugs,
