KLSNS Challenge-Ribbon

Our challenge this week at KLSNS is ribbon. I used this sweet Stampaive image. I love this little guy carrying his watermelon. The last few watermelons I've eaten were sooooo good. I don't know how to pick them out, so it's pure luck when I get one that tastes good.

Thanks for stopping by and hope you have a great weekend.

KLSNS Challenge SKETCh

Today we have a sketch challenge for you at KLSNS. Jodi provided the sketch this week. I used a couple High Hopes images from the KLSNS store. I made this card for my FIL for Father's Day. I kept it pretty simple since in was for a man. I don't know about you but for some reason when I make a guy card I always leave it kinda plain.

Kelly has an AWESOME sale going on at KLSNS. 50% off most items in the store. The code is CLEANUP.

Charisma Challenge is One for the Boys.
High Hopes Challenge is Anything Goes.
SSS has a Boy theme on PCP.

Copic Creation's theme is animals. I did a little shopping on Memorial day at the LSS and picked up some fun new sentiments. Hope it is a happy sunny Saturday for you. Thanks for stopping by.

The Greeting Farm -Spotlight Kit

Today the Scrapbook challenge at The Greeting Farm, is a color challenge. And we'd love for you to play along!
I decided to do a page of my Hubby. It's pretty rare for me to do a page just with him or just me in it. I kept it pretty simple and tried to make it not look frilly. When we were in Mexico, I had a blast taking pics of all the old architecture. It was so beautiful. I can't wait to go back.
Hope you all are enjoying your week! Thanks so much for stopping by today!

KLSNS Challenge--Organic

We have a new challenge for you today at KLSNS and it is "ORGANIC." I used some hemp twine on my card. This new CC Design is just adorable and i paired it with some yummy Basic Grey Sugar Rush. Basic Grey papers are so addictive and so easy. I love how they coordinate and take the work out of matching papers ;) I also added some buttons and used a Sanford Signo Pen. Have you tried this Pen? It is fabulous. I love it. Hope you can play along with us. You have until next Friday to link up your project using an ORGANIC item.

I have a confession...Someone gave my DD a package of these diamond butterflies. They are intended to go in your hair. Well it seemed like it would be disastrous to put these things in DD hair. I can image the twists and tangles and that I would possibly have to remove with scissors! So needless to day, I appreciate the thought, but these will not be going in DD hair. Instead they make the perfect embellishment on my crafts ;) Don't worry I didn't leave DD empty handed. I traded her some candy for them...after all she is 5 and candy trumps just about everything :)

Challenges I'm entering:
Paper Play- Shiny People
Quixotic- Spring

Hope you have a great weekend. Thanks for stopping by!

Farm Fresh Friday--Spring Cleaning

I have a card to show you today for TGF Farm Fresh Friday Challenge using the new kit "In the Spotlight". I really love how versatile this kit is. Perfect sentiments. The challenge this week is "Spring Cleaning." I used some scraps from my scrap stash...and if you are like me it accumulates pretty fast. I'm always tempted to purge my scrap stash since it gets so big. But in the end I almost always hold on to the scraps :) Stamp Something's Challenge this week is stitching.

Hope you have a great weekend. I'm hosting a family get together and need to start preparing some of the food. I bought a new Martha Stewart cupcake book and I wanna try to make some fancy cupcakes for our party. mmm Thanks for stopping by.

Grandma's Brag Book

I did a brag book for my Mother-in-law using a digital kit. It was from Scrapbook Elements.
They have these really cute kits that are 4x6 inches. They are so easy to use, you just add your digital pictures and print them out just like you would for any other pics. So, it's easy and inexpensive. You can bind them or put them in an album. I did an album the had a clear plastic sleeve to put a customized cover. So I made this Cover using Tilda. My mother in law loves green so I used some more of the Lasting Impression paper. I sewed on background papers and added some ric rac and prima flowers with buttons.
