Enchanted Forest

Hello! I'm here today with a card for Cheery Lynn Designs featuring the Enchanted Forest Frame.

Frames are an excellent addition in enhancing a photo, sentiment, stamp image, or even a rubon image. I have a very minimal stamp collection yet, however I have gathered many rubons and journaling tags!

The details of the Enchanted Forest Frame really is the perfect finishing touch to this card!

Dies used:

Enchanted Forest Stacker Frame

Olive Branches

Small Dimensional Leaves 2

Small Dragonfly with Angel Wing

Anastasia Border

Instructions for the Joy Fold Card can be found at Splitcoast Stampers.

A special thank you to Phillis Gullick from Diamond Card Craft for providing the Eazi Score board used to create my card.

Pink Goodness

Such a busy time of the year! Between holiday preparations, working on final bookwork for taxes, attending my son's basketball games, and working on a couple secret projects, I did manage to squeeze out a couple of baby cards!

I used a mixture of Pink Paislee Love Stuck and Sweetness….How appropriate for a little girl!

I am addicted to all my Spellbinders dies. Isn’t that Lacy Circle just too precious?! I cut my dies with Core’dinations cardstock and sanded the edges, then attached with pop dots.

Thanks for stopping by! Have a super scrappy day!

What fun!!

What a an awesome crop!! I wasn’t feeling well again, but the challenges and chatter were just the boost I needed!
Here are a couple challenges I posted. Feel free to play along for fun…and don’t forget to share your version with me!

First, I challenged the ladies to complete a layout in an hour using a fun sketch from Helen Croft at Scrap A Little…Thanks Helen!!

I am a super slow scrapper, but I finished this in 45 minutes! I am carving jack-o-lanterns with the kids today. I'll add a few photos of our pumpkins to this later.

Next, When I think fall, not only do I think of beautiful colors, crisp air, and lots of baking, Harvest Moon comes to mind…it must be the farm girl in me with all the late nights out in the field under the bright moon and blanket of stars.

Representing the Harvest Moon, my challenge to you is to use at least one circle on your layout, OR really challenge yourself and create a circle layout! And no, pre-made circle embellishments like buttons and brads don't count. :) Large circles, small circles, make your own embellie circles, stitch a circle, tuck one behind some layers or photo in your design....it must be something you cut/ made!



I am working on my pumkin tutorial and will have it up in a day or two!

Thanks for stopping by!

Ready for a Challenge or two!

I have a couple new challenges for you today!

Both layouts posted today were created using the August Featured Kit from Life Preservers Scrapbook Kit Club.

It is time for another challenge at Dirty Scraps!

The Moment
The first year hubby and I met we were together Christmas Eve...we were talking and everything was so exciting, we ended up staying up all night until Christmas morning. Every year now we spend Christmas Eve together on the sofa or by the tree, chattering about the year and our lives until we both pass out.
The first time, it was one of those "Moments" you know those unexpected spontaneous moments that you will never forget and has changed a part of your life.
I challenge you today to look deep in your heart and find that forgotten moment, that moment you never talk about but you treasure in your heart, that moment that changed the way you saw yourself or you saw the person you were in it with.

No it does not have to be a romantic moment or a sweet moment it can be any moment you want. Good, bad, or even ugly!
Now go get DIRTY!

We have some awesome sponsors for this challenge!

COPICS and Some Odd Girl Stamps!!


As always, click on the photo for a better view! The squirrels were created from a digi stamp donated from Some Odd Girl Stamps.

My journaling reads: Not in my wildest dreams could I have imagined how much one phone call would change my life. I called in search of a job. While talking with you, I discovered so much more. In your voice there was genuine sincerity…something special that helped me find the hope that I was grasping for, the confidence that had dwindled over the years, and the strength that had long ago been tucked away. You made me feel whole, important, and safe. I knew what I had to do, you drove away my fears, and gave me the power to stand on my own two feet. I called seeking a job, but in that one call I found so much more…I found life.

Now for the weekly challenge at Life Preservers Scrapbook Club. I was kindly given permission from Sketchabilities to challenge you with one of their awesome sketches! Thanks Ladies!!

Have a super scrappy weekend!!

Happy Tuesday!

Time is running out, but I did get a dozen cards finished to be auctioned off at the benefit this coming weekend. Here are a few of them.

The family loves their bikes, so in honor of the family I decided I needed at least only Harley Davidson themed card! I happened to have some leathery Thickers that fit perfectly into the sentiment block…ideal for a bikers card! The silver diamond plate piece is silver mirror cardstock that I embossed with my Cuttlebug folder, then sanded just a tad.

Next is a baby girl card and pocket I created. I found a tutorial for the pocket and bib. I would love to give credit to the owner, but now I can’t find the link….my apologies.

Lastly is a Thank You created with some October Afternoon and Cosmos Cricket! I am falling in love with my Spellbinders. The embossing is one of those times where the little detail makes a big impact!

Have a super day!!
