Hi!

Good day!

I have another Scrap-Mart project for you today. I bit of a bonus since I didn't realize I only needed to do three posts.

My focal point, this gorgeous flower die, is one of my favorites of the Lifestyle Crafts Bloom and Grow die series.

I love the beautiful detailing of this die!

I stitched the hexagon background of this My Mind's Eye paper from the 'Follow Your Heart' collection.

The dark wood grain background paper is from October Afternoon's '9 to 5' line. Accents include die cut cloud from My Favorite Things, Prima wood button, Jute from May Arts, Teensy Type alphabet stickers from Doodlebug Design and a Memo Pin from Tim Holtz.

Do you have any exciting plans for the weekend? Christopher wants to spend some time at the pool today. Sounds like a great way to spend a lazy summer afternoon, don't you think? Hope you have a great weekend!

Bon Voyage & Giveaway

T.G.I.F!

I can't believe this is my last post as guest designer for Little Yellow Bicycle! Why do all good things have to come to and end? It's been a great deal of fun playing with the 'Escape' collection, having you visit each week and the weekly giveaways! I'm going to miss all this excitement!

For my last project I have a couple more cards.

How about a road trip in a bright red car that has the word 'adventure' across the side? Too cute!

I threw in some trendy hexagons and thought they would look fun stitched down the middle.

Isn't this city scene lovely? I'd love to take a stroll along it with the sun shining upon my face!

Paris Anyone?

If I had a ticket to Paris, I'd travel! ;)

How about you...have you been to Paris?

As you know from previous weeks, the folks at Little Yellow Bicycle were very generous with the product they sent for my guest design projects and I had a bunch left over. If you would like to win the goodies in the photo above, just comment between now and Sunday. A winner will be chosen at random and announced on my blog on Monday. Sound good? Go comment! ;)

Speaking of giveaways, I have a winner to announce for the CardMaker magazine from yesterday's post. That lucky winner is Ruth G! Congratulations Ruth! I've e-mailed you for your address!

Thanks for dropping in today!

Boo Bag & Giveaway

I got some happy mail last week! A copy of the latest CardMaker magazine with my little 'Boo Bag' published within it's pages! It's always cool to see a project in print!

My goody bag was created with Bella Blvd's spook-tacular 'Too Cute to Spook' collection.

Would you like to win my extra copy of this fabulous magazine? Just leave a comment on this post today and I'll pick a winner to announce tomorrow!

Thanks for your visit! Have a wonderful day!  :)

Ice Cream

I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream! It's my favorite treat!

No matter the weather, rain, sleet or 100 degrees, I love ice cream!

This scrapbook page features ice cream photos from our most recent stay-cation!

Yum, strawberry! Do you have a favorite flavor?

I love most flavors, but I'd have to say coffee ranks at the top of the list. :)

Products for this page include patterned papers from American Crafts, brads and gems from Doodlebug Design and die cuts from Silhouette and Spellbinders.

Today is the first of the month which means write. click. scrapbook. has a brand new gallery full of inspiring pages! The theme for this month's is......summertime and this 'sweet' page is my contribution. ;)

Oh, and before I head over to write. click. scrapbook to see my teammates pages, I forgot to announce the winner for the Little Yellow Bicycle prize on Monday. Oops! I apologize. The winner is SHartl! Congratulations! I sent an e-mail for your address. I hope you enjoy your goodies! :)
