KLSNS Challenge-Recipe

Today is a KLSNS Challenge and it's a recipe: 1 ribbon, 2 Design Papers, 3 embellishments. This was a toughy for me. I didn't count my rub-ons or stickers as embellishments and then afterwards thought "stickers and rub-ons are totally embellishments." whoops ;)

I used this adorable Kiki with cupcake from CC Designs and some Lemonade Basic Grey papers. Kelly just stocked her shelves with some pretty new things. Hop over and take a look.

Stamp and Create is having their first challenge and the theme is ribbon. Scrappy Frogs theme is mother.

Blessed

Here's a card I made for our OB Nurse when we had the baby. All the nurses were just so sweet and good at their jobs. I think everyone likes to hear that they are appreciated so I try hard to do thank you's whenever I can.
I love this Cosmo Cricket paper and have a bunch of it in my stash ;)

Happy Birthday Jodi!

Two KLSNS Birthdays in one week! How fun. Today is Jodi's Birthday. And over on the KLSNS blog there is a Walk of Fame for Jodi featuring some of her fabulous work. Please hop over there and take a look and leave Jodi some love on her blog too. She is so very talented.

We are throwing her a party and each of us is bring something. I offered to bring the entertainment! My first thought was to find out who Jodi considers to be eye candy and post that here, but I was stumped. But on Jodi's play list is Bon Jovi and so I invited John Bon Jovi to your party to sing you a song Jodi! Happy Birthday Girl!


Next Stop is the super sweet and talented Joanna!

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!

KLSNS Challenge #18- Recycling

Happy Saturday! Today is a KLSNS Challenge-Go Green. We are challenging you to use recyclables on your cards. You may be looking at my card and think "where's the recycling?" I have this crazy habit of finding things off packaging and keeping them to use later in my scrapbooking. So this ribbon was tied to a package of Chocolate dipped pretzels and the beads....well they are from a broken bracelet of my DD's. The brown flowers are off a broken jewelry box. Does anyone else do this?? or am I just nuts?

I used a CC Designs stamp Shy Kiki and Basic Grey Sugared Paper from the KLSNS store. I am so in love with CC Design stamps. Can't wait to get more of them. Wanna play along? Hop over to the KLSNS blog for all the details and some great inspiration from the DT.
