Oh Scooby! Good thing we love you!

Well you guys were very patient from this little teaser, I only had 3 peeps tell me I was a terrible tease! LOL! Here's the scrapbook page I made, and I must admit I LOVE it! I'll post the small pics included in the LO below, just in case you can't see them in enough horrifying detail!

Christmas in August! (aka "Yay! 1st Christmas card made!" LOL!)

So I've been on holidays for a bit, and one of the challenges I set out for myself, was to take a color combo (Crumb Cake, Garden Green, Cajun Craze, and a neutral of Very Vanilla), a sentiment stamp set (Word Play), a Christmas Stamp Set (Delightful Decorations, and then I cheated and added a second set Tree Trimmings. I justified this with the thought that they are the same "type" of :o), and a set that I didn't think of as being a typical one for the color combo I chose (I {Heart} Hearts) and see what I could come up with! I also took a bevy of accessories and punches along, so here goes! Oh, and I took a copy of July/Aug PaperCrafts Mag, and the following ideas are all adapted from other companies, to Stampin' Up! products. Hope you enjoy!

I LOVE this card! To get the grid look score the back of your card stock in the grid pattern, then sponge on some ink. Super fast, super cute!

SFF 041511

Morning everyone! I made this card for the Sketch Frenzy Friday Challenge. I thought I was being all that, and created a new technique for the Decorative Label Punch (see my sentiment, it's on an adapted Decorative Label Punch)...however when I was looking at the other SFF entries there was another person who did the same thing! Apparently I'm not so original! LOL! I must have seen it somewhere and kept it in my subconscious...

Tea Bag Gift Set

The pattern for this tea bag holder was created by Andrea Walford, though I've searched her site and can't seem to find the tutorial anywhere. It may have been in an email she sent out, and not on her site however. I changed up the papers and stamp set so I could practice with retired papers, but still love the end result! I had the tutorial in my stash for quite a bit, and decided to finally make it when I saw this weeks Our Creative Corner challenge theme, which is "It's a Tea Party!"

Mmmmm....chocolate! (and yummy new stamps!)

Hey there! Ok, this is the treat my kiddos are getting in their lunch bags today. I know for some, it may not be a big deal, but my kids NEVER get treats like these in their lunch bags, and rarely get chocolate bars at all. I can't wait until they come home to tell me all about their surprise! (Don't get me wrong...my kids do eat junk food, it's just a really big treat to be allowed to buy a chocolate bar, so tomorrow will be super fun!) Anyway....I also got a treat in being able to make these little tags. My newest order arrived yesterday, and these 2 sets were in it. How YUMMY is that brand new Four Frames set stamped in Concord Crush? And the Tiny tags set I've been yearning for....mmmm! Love it! Hope you are all having a great day!
