I am a little late getting my post up for today. I guess it is better late than never, right?? I had to run to Walmart this morning to get a few things including ink for my printer.

Before I get onto my layout and card for the new challenges at Scrap and Stamp & Stamp, Scrap and Doodle I wanted to share the little cookies on a stick we made for Patrick's class for Valentine's. Well actually these are some we made for friends and family, the ones for the class had red m&ms for the nose. I ran out and decided to just go with what we had for the others. They turned out super cute and are not as large as the others we have made in the past! Everyone loved them and they we pretty simple to make...Really!! I tied them up in a little baggie.

It is time for a new challenge at Scrap and Stamp! Be sure to stop by to see what the rest of the design team came up with! It will be worth the trip!!! This week we have a wonderful sponsor who offered us a beautiful digital kit to play with. So the challenge is to use something digi on your traditional layout. Don't forget the stamp, it can be digi or traditional. One of the things we decided to do for the new year is tutorials. So we will be offering at least one a month and today is the day for our very first one! Lacey has written up a wonderful tutorial on using digi elements on traditional pages...just in time for you to play along with us! So please go and check it out and let us know what you think!

For my page I printed out some of the papers, flowers, and ribbon from the Pasionately Paisley kit (Stamping Dragon Designs), I also used a digi stamp (Penny) from Stamping Dragon Designs. After I added everything except for the alphas, stamp and picture I spritzed the entire thing with pink glimmer mist. I love glimmer mist!!! I added some stickles to the flower centers and Penny's tummy, bow and wings.

supplies: Bazzill cs, Stamping Dragon Designs papers, flowers and ribbon (Passionately Paisley digi kit) and digital image, Tattered Angels glimmer mist, Three Bugs in a Rug alpha stickers, prizma colored pencils, stickles, sharpie

And at Stamp, Scrap and Doodle this week we have a "charming" challenge. Be sure to go and check out what the design team did. I have had this charm in my stash forever it is from the sewing department. I added stickles to the wings and shoes.

supplies: GCD pattern paper, Paperbilities cs, Prima flower, Ellaphantastic Cards and Crafts digi stamp, Blummenthal charm, Studio G stamp, ribbon, sharpie, prizma colored pencils, chalks chalk ink, stickles

I hope you will play along with both challenges. You have until Friday night at 11pm EST for both!

Blog Hop winners and OWOH winner

First I would like to say I am sorry I am late getting this post up but I haven't had phone/computer for most of this week.

I was so excited to get to join the magic carpet ride this year. I hopped along last year and loved meeting so many new people from all over the world. Unfortunately I haven't had a chance to ride the carpet much this year with us all being sick but I will eventually visit everyone!

I am thrilled to have so many people visit my little blog on the www! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the sweet comments and the new followers! I promise to stop by from time to time to see how you are all doing.

I am a day late getting my post up, sorry about that. I have spent the last 2 days out playing in the snow with Patrick! Yeah I said SNOW...LOL. That is something we never get in south AL. We actually got about 8 inches here. Which is a huge deal but I have to say we are now into day 3 of snow on the ground and I am ready for it to be gone! It will be gone today though it is starting to really warm up. So bless all of you that have to deal with it for months!! I will be posting some pics in the next few days!

Have a great weekend and a
Happy Valentine's Day!!!

Today is the day!!! We are having our first ever blog hop at Scrap and Stamp! We are super excited! If you just happened to stop by my blog today, thank you, but you should go to Scrap and Stamp to get all the info on the hop. If you are coming here from the Scrap and Stamp blog you are on the right track, thank you!

I want to say a huge thanks to my design team! They are the best I couldn't do it without them and their gorgeous creations!!

Now I love Scrap and Stamp because it makes me use my much loved stamps on my layouts. As stampers we all tend to use them on cards but not so much on our scrapbooks. Why is that exactly?? I don't really know. But they make for great embellishments that are cheap (well in the long run) and plentiful since we can use them over and over. And if you get creative you can give the same stamp several looks. We offer a new challenge every Saturday so I hope you will join in the fun.

On each blog you visit you will see a fabulous layout based on this sketch by our very own Pamela. So there will be lots of "love" inspiration this weekend!

Here is what I did with the sketch. It is a layout of me and my hubby! I kept it really simple. It seems to be the style I am stuck on right now...lol. I used a gltter glaze pen on the arrow to give it a little sparkle. I love this stamp it comes with 3 different arrow heads so you have 3 different looks. You can find this stamp at Thats Jazzy Stamp Dream.

supplies: Basic Grey pp, Bazzill cs, Maya Road chipboard alphas, American Crafts chipboard "&", Making Memories rubons, paint and glaze paint, Recollections pearls, Wilton paper doilie, distress ink, Inique Boutique border stamp, Thats Jazzy Stamp Dream arrow stamp.

The Greeting Farm Relay day 3...

I got a few minutes to be crafty today between cleaning out closets and putting away all the Christmas stuff!
This cutie is the image from The Greeting Farm that is to be used for todays part of the relay. Isn't he the cutest! He makes me giggle everytime I see him.

I am also using it for Stamp Something (make us giggle), A Spoonful of Sugar (freestyle), Saturday Spotlight with Hidden Potential (let the sunshine in) and Digital Ink (pets or baby birthday with primary colors).


I covered a chipboard circle and stamped my sentiment.
supplies: Cosmo Cricket pp, The Greeting Farm image, Studio G stamps, grungeboard, chipboard, colored pencils, popdots, ribbon
Sadly they are ending the relay early because they had such an overwhelming response. The serve keeps crashing...oops...lol. But luckily for everyone who didn't get to play along they will be able to get todays freebie, Prince Ian, he is on TGF blog.

The Greeting Farm Relay day 2...

I was starting to think I was never going to get to create today...lol. It has been one thing after another today but finally I made it to my craft room! I used todays image from The Greeting Farm CHA relay to make a card and matching bookmark. I simply stamped "have a sassy birthday" on the inside. I am glad I got it squeezed in before the deadline so I can play with tomorrows image!!!
I used the sketch from Mojo Monday, Cupcake Crafts wanted a matching set, Pink Elephant wanted polka dots, bows & pink, Color Chef wanted light and dark pink, KL Stampin N Scrappin wanted punches dies or nesties, A Spoonful of Sugar anything goes this week and My Grafico wants a shape.

The Greeting Farm Relay....

Here is my entry to The Greeting Farms 5 day relay. You get this free digi to use by 6pm CST to night and then you can have the next days emailed to you. But you have to play each day or you don't get the next days. You have to upload in the galleria but I am having trouble with that right now. So I am posting it here for now. I kept it really simple by using the sketch at Clean & Simple. It is also for the fruity colors challenge at Charisma Cardz, the colors remind me of pears, melons and blueberries. Used some of my current fav papers by SEI. Colored Mer Ian with colored pencils and a glaze pen. Then chalked around the edge of him.

One World One Heart Is Here!!!

Today I am happy to say that I am participating in the 4th Annual One World One Heart blog event!! I found it last year and really wanted to participant but didn't get a chance so I couldn't pass it up this year! It such an awesome event filled with bloggers from all over the world to get the chance to come together that might not get to otherwise! Of course there is a chance to win a fabulous prize on each stop along the way. Last year there was 911 stops along the way compared to about 90 the first year! How awesome is that??? I can't wait to see how many join in this year! Be sure to hop along on the Magic Carpet Ride or maybe even join in! Stop by One World One Heart to find out all the details and how this wonderful event came about.

I hope you will look around my blog to get to know a bit more about me. I can't wait to meet some new blogger friends from around the globe!

So I was trying to think of something fabulous to offer for my blog giveaway. I came to the conclusion what was better than some yummy goodies to play with. I will be adding something else handmade by me as well but it will be a surprise...because frankly right now it is a surprise to me too.

It includes 3 cards made by me, surprise gift made by me, 2 Tim Holtz distress inks, 3 Ranger stickles, more than 3 yards of ribbon and maybe a few other goodies...

This event will go from now until Feb. 15th so you have plenty of time to ride the magic carpet!

All you need to do is leave a comment on this post. Just make sure there is a way for me to contact you if you are the winner! You have until noon on Feb. 15th (USA Central Standard Time) to enter.

You will find a link of the other bloggers on the One World One Heart blogpost!

Were did the week go? Time seems to be flying by lately. This week Patrick had to turn in his first big school project! I was so excited I have been waiting for this...lol. He has done little ones like decorating a Christmas tree or dressing up Tom Turkey to hide him at Thanksgiving (all on just a sheet of construction paper). He had to do a time line of sorts with photos from each year since he was born with so fun facts. The idea was to see how much everyone has changed. So here he is with his completed project! He did a great job...mixed his middle and last names up when writing them but no biggie! I am so proud of him!

Now on to crafty things. Today at Stamp, Scrap and Doodle the new challenge is "spring." I did something a little different for me. I used some felt flowers and leaves, added various ribbon for the stems, and stickers. I really like these dragonfly stickers with their irodesent wings. Stop by the blog to see all the lovely work from the DT!

I am also using this one for the fruity colors challenge at Charisma Cardz.
supplies: Bazzill cs, Reminisce pp, Jolee dragonfly stickers, BoBunny quote sticker, American Crafts felt, various ribbons

There is also a new challenge up at Scrap and Stamp. We would like to see you use up your scraps with at least one stamp. Gotta make room for all those new goodies that are about to be hitting the shelves. I think everything I used I have had for over a year or more except for the unity stamp. The photos are from 3 years ago, just never got around to scrapping these. Be sure to stop by the blog to see the work from the DT they amaze me each and every week!

supplies: Basic Grey pp, Bazzill cs, The Paper Studio ribbon, Unity stamp, Crate Paper and Making Memories (alphas) rubons, Pink Paislee chipboard, Pebbles Inc paint, October Afternoon alpha stickers, bubble wrap (for painting)
