Phanatic Team Photo

Good morning my scrappy friends!  I've been trying, once again, to get some more scrapping completed!  Of course, it's the end of the month so if I want to submit to challenges, I've got to move fast.  Here is another LO I completed just last night for Stuck?! Sketches, Feb 15th reveal.....

Quick and pretty easy layout using all scraps...even the background papers!!  They are ATG'd together and the slim blue pps on the sides, cut down to make the entire layout 12x12.  I'm impressed with my little surgery! 

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!!

love rainy morning

Good morning my scrappy friends!  Today brings you a LO I completed a few days ago and forgot to post!

This is my son three years ago walking to the bus stop in the rain.  It was the type of rain that poured, then drizzled, then poured again all in a 2 minute span...hence him smiling!  He was trying to figure out when to walk to the corner, then wait for the bus and not get drenched!

I used STAMPlorations stamps for the coffee stains circles and banner under the portrait photo.  SU! stamps were used also for the large coffee stains and hearts under the banner.

I'm submitting my LO into the challenge at Scrap Our Stash - Golden Globe Inspired Stash Challenge.  We are to be inspired by the movie poster of  "Love Actually" and used twine and the word love in your title.  I was inspired by the columns of photos. 

Take a look at the challenge, you have a couple more days to submit your layout!
Have a fantastic day!!!

Let's Play

Hello my scrappy friends!  Busy and sickly month, the pediatricians office received a whole lot of money from us this month!  However, I think the kids are on the mend, hubby seems to be doing better and of course, I'm fine!  I hardly ever get sick, thank God!

I was digging through my printed pictures and came across these two of our son!  Nowadays, he sits on the couch to play video games!

I'll be entering this LO into the Sketch In Thyme #312 challenge.  It's a sketch challenge, great for one or two photos and some embellies to the sides!


Thanks for commenting!

Penguin birthday card

Hello my scrappy friends!  Snowing here today in NJ, at least its a wet snow so far so not much accumulation.  Praying it doesn't get too cold to turn to icy roads!

Quick card post this afternoon.  My niece's 5th birthday is next Tuesday and I actually mailed the card out this morning!  I'll have to make another card for her party later in the month so she can open it along with her gifts.

I used my Cricut cartridge Create A Critter for the penguin and igloo...how cute!  The background stamp is called Marbled from Stampin' Up! as is the little For You stamp, also using SU! round array 7/8" punch.  Not sure if the little stamp and punch are still available.

This card will be entered into the   Stick It Down January Card Sketch.


Thanks for taking a look and enter your card into this challenge....it ends tomorrow, 1/31/18!

Thanks-A-Bunch

Hello my scrappy friends!  My grandma died almost two weeks ago, funeral services were last week.  A co-worker sent me a beautiful basket of flowers and sent sent me texts and emails....checking on me and some making me laugh.  So, I had to make a thank you card.  

Being inspired by a sketch challenge post by Try Stampin' -or not- On Tuesday, I created this card.  I used SU! ink colors, lemon lime twist, fresh fig, sweet sugar plum, blushing bride, and basic gray.  The stamps are SU! as well, delicate details and beautiful bouquet.

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful weekend!

Stamping birthday card

Hello my scrappy friends and Happy New Year!  We went back to school for two days then a snow storm hit and we're home for two more days.  I'm thrilled with it but not my daughter...she hates that two days will be taken away from spring break!  Too funny since we don't do anything that week..I guess she just wants to be able to sleep or stay in bed till noon.  Teen-agers, still love them!

I made this card for my mom's 69th birthday next week.  I used a circle die and stamps from Stampin Up! (retired Flower Patch) and STAMPlorations (Power of Words(inside sentiment, no photo, sorry); Party Time; Frames & Flowers).

Thanks for stopping by today!  Please take a look at the following challenges where my card is being entered.  Take some time to enter one of your cards too!

STAMPlorations - {Cut}plorations - I used several STAMPlorations stamps on my card.

Challenge #100 - What are you THANKFUL for?  My card is for my mom who I am so very thankful for!

Scrapping4fun - Challenge #106, Anything Goes


Have a fantastic day and a better 2018!!

Happy November!

Hello my scrappy friends!  What a month this has been for us, just so busy, who's sick, visiting family, Halloween....just so much!  Doesn't look like November will be much different but our Disney vacation begins on Friday....16 hours of driving during two days!  Our kids said NO! to flying since "we talk and laugh so much when we drive down to Disney."  Well, we do, but i was hoping to fly!  They'd really better make me laugh while I'm driving!

On to a card I just made for a co-worker's 40th birthday tomorrow.  She's been going through a rough patch with working 2 jobs, her kids, ex-husband, boyfriend, his kids...it's a plate full for her, so I decided to just be nice.  No jokes, I don't think she's in the mood for it.

I used The Crafter's Workshop stencil, mini organic matter mask (love this one!); My Sentiments Exactly, birthdays innies and outies, Cricut; Art Philosophy for the butterfly; SU! ribbon and gems from my stash.  I'll be entering my card into these following challenges.....Be sure to check them out!

The Paper Players - Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge - I used the center column: birthday-die cut/punch-butterfly.

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #236 


Mix It Up Challenge #7 - Anything Goes + Stenciling



That's all for today!  Happy November, enjoy your extra hour of sleep this coming weekend for daylight savings!
