almost a new year...

Good morning my Scraptastic friends!

I can't believe that it's almost the start of a whole new year...

I'm still trying to figure out where this year went???

Today's inspiration is from the lovely GDT Izzy Anderson using the Naughty or Nice? Kit

First up is an adorable little ornament that Izzy made refurbishing an old CD case

How cute is that?

next up is a little card that Izzy whipped up (have you looked at her collection of cards that she's made?...too, too cute)

love it!!!

Thanks Izzy!

December Challenge

Happy Thursday! Can you believe how fast this holiday season has flown by?? I can't believe that is will be a new year in a few days!!! I hope this year has been a great one for all.

How about one last challenge for the month of December?? I know everyone is busy and pressed for time, so I will make this as easy one... a color challenge!

With all of the new holiday photos that were taken, how about a twist to the tradition red and green? I love the blue and red together. Add in a little kraft cardstock to make those colors pop! So, lets see your blue, red and kraft LO's. If you are feeling a bit adventurous, try making a double page or atleast a multi-photo'd page. Here is my example.

Here are close ups of each page.

I hope you are able to sneak in some crafty time for yourself this weekend!!! If you would like to play around with any of the other challenges this month, they are up at the top of the blog on the right. You have until Jan. 4, 2012 to get your entry in for a drawing for a fun prize!! This month, it is the Random Collection pack from Crate Paper!!!! Such a fun line!

Have a happy, safe and scrappy New Year!!!

Good  morning my Scraptastic friends.

I hope that you all had a great holiday! We for sure did, but now my house is too quiet. The kids went down to Florida for the week to stay with their Grandparents. And I miss them so much, but, they will be home soon enough.

Enough sappy stuff from me...

Today I'd like to share a collection of cards from DT Heather Landry using her leftover scraps from the Little Black Dress Kit and Add-On

How beautiful are those cards? It's amazing what you can do with leftover scraps!!!
Thanks for the great inspiration Heather!


Don't forget that you have until January 4th at midnight to submit all of your entries for the December 2011 Challenges. You can find all of the links at the top right of the blog. Michelle will be posting the last challenge tomorrow, so be sure to check back to see what she has in store for you!

When I was looking through all of my pictures for Christmas ones to scrap....I just couldn't resist these. The look on Bailey's face just cracks me up :)

3rd December 2011 Challenge

Hi everyone! It's Heather, and I'm here to share my challenge this month. I used a layout that I created earlier this month to inspire the sketch and the challenge. I'm sure you're not surprised that my challenge involves a sketch, but as usual there's a twist. This time around I would like for you to scrap about an anniversary. It could be your parents' anniversary, your anniversary, the anniversary of your friendship, or any other anniversary you can dream up. Feel free to get creative! Here is the sketch...

This is the page that inspired the sketch and the challenge. I used the Little Black Dress Kit and Add-On. The kit was HUGE! I made four layouts and four cards from one kit. It's definitely one of my favorite kits that Jessica has put together. 

Don't forget that this month's prize is an awesome kit from Crate Paper called "Random"! 

Please use the InLinkz tool below to submit your submissions to the 3rd December 2011 challenge. I can't wait to see what you create! 

it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas........

Good morning my Scraptastic friends!

Happy Hump Day!

So are we all in the Christmas spirit yet???

I know that I am. I'm going to start putting the gifts under the tree tonight after the kids go to bed. I just love when they get up in the morning and then realize there are gifts under there. But then of course they always start with all of their questions. Like "which ones are mine?" "what did you get me?"

I still love it, questions and all!

Well, if you're not feeling the Christmas spirit yet, today's inspiration will surely help!

Today I'm sharing a couple of layouts from DT Michelle Unruh using the Naughty or Nice? Kit and Add-On

Just too cute!

I totally had to do a double take on this one.....Michelle's oldest daughter looks just like her :)

Love the 4 pictures all together, but my fav is the ornament dangling on the top!

Great job again Michelle!

I hope that helps to put you in the spirit!!!

Be sure to check back tomorrow for a new December Challenge. And remember that you can find the links to all of the December Challenges at the top right of the blog!

Have a great day!

happiness is........

Good morning my Scraptastic friends!

Can you believe it's only 11 days until Christmas???

Yikes, I need to get my Christmas shopping done!!!

I never used to be a last minute shopper.......well, at least we got our tree up and decorated last night!

Today's inspiration comes from DT Heather Landry using the Little Black Dress Kit and Add-On...

So love everything about this......can't wait to get started on mine tonight!

Have a great day!

season's greetings......

Good morning my Scraptastic friends!

I hope that you all had a wonderful weekend!

It's finally starting to get cold around here, so it's starting to feel a little like Christmas!

And we're finally getting our tree tonight, yay :)

Today I'd like to share some holiday cards with you from the lovely DT Michelle Unruh using the Naughty or Nice? Kit and Add-On.....

First Challenge of December

Hi everyone. Here it is: the first day of December! We’re getting geared up for the holidays and a new month of challenges. I’m Izzy Anderson and I’m delighted to be guest designing this month. I played with the Naughty or Nice? Kit and loved the fun mix of papers and embellies.

I scrapped a photo of my Dad with my brothers on Christmas morning. I love this Crate ornament paper. It’s so festive! I pop-dotted some of the ornaments for dimension then set off the paper by adding borders punched from cream cardstock down either side.

Your first challenge this month is to use border punches. You can use one or more and can use the border punches anywhere on the page.

This month you'll be playing for the Random Collection Kit from Crate Paper.

Please use the inlinkz tool below to link your submissions to this challenge. You will have until January 4th at midnight to submit all of your entries for the December 2011 challenges.

the best day ever.......

Good morning my Scraptastic friends!

Happy Hump Day!!!

Can you believe that tomorrow will be the 1st of December?

In the blink of an eye, it will be Christmas! And I'm still so not ready for Christmas.

Today I'm sharing a page with you from DT Juliann Marchant using the Little Black Dress Kit and Add-On.....

 

 Totally love what Juliann did here, the way she cut the matted papers almost gives the page a 3-D effect.....I will totally have to try that!

Beautiful page Juliann!!!

Don't forget that you have until tonight at midnight to submit all of your entries for the November Challenges. You can find the links to the Challenges at the top right of the blog. I will be announcing the winner on Friday! One lucky person will be receiving the

Winter Park Collection Kit from Echo Park

and the Christmas Dots and Stripes Collection Kit from Echo Park

Have a wonderful day!

And be sure to check back tomorrow for the first of the December Challenges!
