Party with Buttons, Xyron, and Anna Griffin

Hey there friends happy Tuesday,

I received these amazing buttons this week and had to use them

so I grabbed some beautiful Anna Griffin tags and went crazy!

 I used Ribbons Unlimted Dazzle Ribbons and stitched the tags to

it using a zig zag stitch on my sewing machine. 

Then I adhere to Button Lover's Buttons using Xyron Adhesive Dots. 

How fun is this banner? I love it. 

 All the colors and textures make me smile. 

 It's not too big, not too small and used up some leftover Thickers!

Next time you want to make a banner try those old tags

or some new amazing tags! :) 

~Happy Scrappy Thursday!~

Good morning!!!!!

It feels like the last few days have been a blur but a good one ♥

I have to laugh about this layout because I had intended it to be

an 8.5X11 layout but somehow I cut it wrong so

it became a 12x12 layout LOL

I used that amazing Scraptastic Club Kit that Jessica sent me

and I am still in love with it! I can't help it!

I think it is the colors and the soft snowy feel.

Jessica always encouraged me to scrap my own way, I love

that kind of attitude because I am all about scrapping real life.

My Christmas was amazing this year but I also reflect on

my past as the New Year comes and mistakes in judgement I make.

This year my resolve is to be more aware of people who use

me and try to have more meaningful female relationships.

Treat them like I would a "love" relationship.

Expect the same respect anyways. So I hope LOL

Journaling: I definitely live with no regrets but that doesn't

mean I don't make mistakes. When I have a friendship

I give it everything I have and sometimes that is a big mistake.

I definitely have a great eye for finding "friends" who use

me to get ahead while I sit there thinking I need to give a little more.

I just have to grow and learn and trust my husband who

warns me every single time!

Now no one tell my husband I said that OK??? LOL

It's all just a part of life and this year my hopes are for
a more peaceful personal life. Not allow as many people in
but allow the ones of quality in ♥

I want to THANK Jessica from Scraptastic Club once again
for sending me this kit....I am so grateful!
You will see one of her kits at CHA this year! :) In the Clear Scraps
booth on a tri-fold frame. I will share later this week!

Ok I am off to get things done...
♥Happy Thursday everyone♥
Thanks for stopping by!

~Huge News Coming & A New Layout~

Good morning!!!! Happy Sunday!!!!

I have some HUGE NEWS coming soon, I am waiting on

a loose end before I can announce it but it's going to be some FUN!

Also on the 12th there will be a Clear Scraps BLOG HOP with

sneak peeks to the brand new CHA releases! WOOT!~

Oh and Wednesday is a Samantha Walker Blog Hop!!!! YEA!

I cannot wait to share my project♥

But for today....I made this layout.

I know some people think I am weird for scrapping pictures of food

or no pictures at all, but I have so much fun looking back on my pages.

I made this Peach Cobbler and loved the look so I photographed it.

I knew when I saw the Holy Mittens Santa kit from Scraptastic Club

that I was going to scrap these pictures with it! :)

I also used my Imaginisce i-top (love that thing) and my

Glue Arts Glue Gider Pro...I think that was it! :)

Oh and my Fiskars border punch.

I really just had fun with it, it was a good relaxing day and I wanted

to scrap a night and light layout. Thanks Jessica from Scraptastic Club

who gifted me this kit! I am so thankful, you are so KIND! :)

I will see you all tomorrow and let's hope against all hope

that I can finally make my announcement! LOL

~Happy Sunday~

~Friday Winner & More Garden Party Fun~

**REMINDER** Tomorrow is the Clear Scraps Blog Hop!!!!

Good morning my friends,

it has been a crazy busy week, I am happy to see the light at the end

of the tunnel ♥

I have a winner today for the Cottage Christmas embellishment package,

and more Garden Party fun from Imaginisce.

I made this card last night for a friend....

This Garden Party line is awesome, I just adore it!

Everything except the tulle/title is Imaginisce.

I even used my i-bond to glue the tulle down.

I also used my Glue Arts Glue Glider Pro for the actual card making.

I hope your week is going well.

I have to be honest I am a bit down today as my friend Amber just

passed away. Pray for the Goddard family ♥

I only found out this morning and she was such an inspiration to me.

We shared a love of fabric and style. Thanks Amber for your

caring friendship, I will miss you my friend.

Ok enough of me and my chatter....

On to the WINNER!!!!!!!

Your chickens are adorable! We always buy eggs from a farm down the road from us, and they have free-range chickens. I was watching them one day, and I couldn't believe how cute they were!!! Sorry, I digress, back to Christmas scrapping - uh, haven't done any yet! I need to get started! So your prize will do me good - LOL!

~Super Saturday Exciting Weekend Ahead!!!!!!~

Good morning!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GOOD MORNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I woke up at 6am to feed my chickens on this beautiful chilly morning
and I was READY TO GO!
Last night my son played his FIRST official baseball game (in uniform and all)
and let me tell you, I am officially a baseball mom!
There was 5 seconds left for them to hit, they were going to lose
by I think 4 points, the Coach pitched to Justice and he HIT IT!!!!!
He ran his heart out and they ended up scoring 3 points, then another hit!
It was tied up and went into double OT!
They WONNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!No it was not just for me, but the pride in my boys eyes,
the excitement that he actually hit the ball and was able to help
the team. *sigh* brought me to tears I tell you what.


OK done with mommy pride blogging (hehehe)
Dirty Scraps Challenge #7 is up and it is a SPONSORED challenge
so there will be a PRIZE!
Go check it out, this is my LO and I have closeups and the journaling on the
actual blog. The challenge is all about balance, keeping DRAMA out of your life!
http://dirtyscraps.blogspot.com/2010/02/dirty-scraps-challenge-7.html

I hope you play along, I know everyone has drama issues at some point

no matter how centered and amazing someone is, they always run across
some crazies, I know I do, they are far and few between
but man when I run into crazies they are full on CRAZAY! LOL

Alrighty then, got to make it quick today, off to baseball again
I promise I won't flood y'all with baseball pictures and stories, this was
a special day being our first game. :)
Also some of you asked for Fiska-cheep and Fiska-chirp updates
so I will be taking pictures tomorrow of my orange and green chicks!

~Thanks for popping by!~
~Don't forget the GIVEAWAY yesterday!!~
~Happy Saturday~

~Thursday is here and another great challenge~

Good morning!

This morning Dirty Scraps is looking at their 4th challenge!

This is my layout for the challenge,
I scrapped about the way my husband sees me.
It always amazes me how he sees me with such
beautiful eyes, no judgment, nothing but love and trust.
I guess I am just more skeptical,
I mean I really respect him and love him but still
it comes so easily for him. I am very lucky...
I wanted to keep it light and bright and fun
because he is so light and bright in my life.
So you can clearly see that Dirty Scraps is not all negative
and sad, it is uplifting as well, it is whatever YOU need it to be :)

Don't forget tomorrow is the Sassy, Dirty, Fit Blog hop so be sure to
stop by the blogs to check it out!

~Have a great day~
