SSCC #15 and Birthday Blog Hop

Let me start by saying a hugh HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Lisa!!!!!

Glitter Graphics from GlitterGeek.com

Lisa is one of our fearless leaders over at Stampin' Sisters in Christ. :) And her work is always beautiful!

Instead of just posting our challenge cards today we thought we would also make it a birthday blog hop! So start at the SSCC blog. :)

The challenge was to make a card or project with gifts on it. Here's the card I made:

The stamps are from Stampin' Up! and the patterned paper is from My Little Shoebox. The cardstock is Bazzill and the gems are from Zva Creative.

And since we are partying for Lisa's birthday...here is what I am bringing to the party...tickets to Europe!

Ok...no that picture of Charlie with the golden ticket has nothing to do with Europe...but doesn't it make you sing..."I've got a golden ticket..." No, Europe is Lisa's dream vacation, so let's all play along...we can all go right. :)

Ok, now why don't you continue the party by hopping on to the fabulous Peggysue. :)

Scrap and Stamp

This week's challenge at Scrap and Stamp is to create a layout about a fall tradition. It must include stamping on it as well. Here's the layout I created for the challenge:

Everything is from Pink Paislee except the flower trim and the one frame stamp from Unity.

I was getting ready to put ribbon behind my circle, which is something I have done many times and I thought...why not try something new. So I decided to use the letter stickers and create a border around the circle with the word "pumpkins" over and over again. I love how it turned out! :)

I really do hope you play along with us this week! :)

Have an awesome Saturday!

My Crazy Husband (plus more MLS)

Oh man my husband is crazy. He stood in line since 8pm LAST NIGHT to get the deal he wanted. And he did get what he wanted. But seriously, I would never do that. In fact I avoid Black Friday like the plague. :) Too many people. The deals you want are always gone and the rest seems no better than any other sale. And you are supposed to start shopping at like 4:00 in the morning. Definitely not for me. :) And now my husband is home and crashed in bed.

Anyways, I thought I would show you the rest of my stuff for My Little Shoebox this month. I swear, every month we get different lines to play with, and every month I think "this has got to be my favorite line yet." This month I worked with the "Imagine a Forest" line (available at stores that carry MLS). I already showed you one layout (strollin)...here are two more layouts and a card:

Well if you are out enjoying Black Friday then I hope you get the deals you want! :)

Have a fabulous Friday!

Happy Thanksgiving!!!!

I hope you all are getting some quality time in with the family today...and of course enjoying loads of fabulous food. :) The same can be said for my friends outside of the US. :)

I wanted to take time to post this awesome project that my son did! He is doing Cub Scouts this year and they gave each boy a bowling pin and asked them to decorate it. My son did this all on his own! I swear, that boy is SO creative. Here's the finished project:

He was a little disappointed because he didn't win anything. Kelby said that all the boys' projects looked professional...and come on...a 6 year olds' art project should not look professional. Oh well. I put it on display in our house and said I would use it to decorate every fall. I think that made him feel better. :)

Well, again, Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Tomorrow I will post more of my DT work with My Little Shoebox for November.

Is Strollin' a word?

Ok, so it doesn't really matter if it is or it isn't...it's the title of my layout that I did. :) My Little Shoebox changed things up a bit and one of our DT projects each month will be a lift of another DT member's layout. This month we are all lifting a layout from the amazingly talented Michelle. See this blog post here for her layout or more info (even though the deadline has passed you may still be able to play along). Here's the layout that I did:

I have to challenge myself every now and then to tilt everything. Usually it seems I line up everything in a very linear pattern. :) So I have to make myself get a little crocked...or a lot. :)

Well, it's the day before Thanksgiving. I have to hit the store today to get a few more things...think there is anything left? I hope you all have the best of Thanksgivings. I will be posting tomorrow to show you a project that my son did! Until then...

A card...

Here's a quick card I made...

Aren't those squirrels adorable? Just wait, you will see a lot more of them. :) The papers and chipboard are from My Little Shoebox.

So the grandparents have left. Now for Thanksgiving. :) At least it is not at our house. I still have to get the house clean in case people come over. And I still will have to cook some. But Thanksgiving is at my in-laws this year. My husband is very excited about that and has been helping his mom plan the menu. You'd think he was throwing this dinner party. :)

Plan to get a lot of scrapping done today! :)

Have a wonderful Tuesday!
