Fourth of July centerpiece

Hey everyone!!! Hope that you all have had a fantastic week!! I'm currently in the car on the way to the airport....we'll be leaving for the GrandCayman islands soon:). But before I go, I wanted to share some creations with you.

Despite all of the cleaning up and packing, I managed to make a quick and simple centerpiece for the forth of July. And you can make it with stuff you have in your home! I used an old pickle jar, sand, pebbles, ribbon, lollipop sticks, brads, and card stock. I located a YouTube video on how to make a pinwheel and just changed up the sizes. Hope you guys enjoy it!!!

Scrappy Mom's Sneak Peak & Jibber Jabber

Hello Everyone!!!

It has been quite some time since I have been posted....Sorry that I have been missing in action.  As you know I've been super sick and am just not finally getting over it.  Still have a cough but am feeling TONS better! Thank you to you all who sent Get Well Wishes.  This past weekend we celebrated my hubby's 25th birthday---man is he getting old! HAHAHA....Thought I'd add in a picture of him.  This picture was taken only about 2 weeks after we started dating, back in 2006 (he looks so young!) 

  

I was crazy and started to watch Extreme Couponing....have you all seen it?!? If so, what do you think about it?? Well, I now strive to save extreme bucks on groceries and its started to consume some time....here is my craft space cluttered with coupons!!! This is why I've been MIA! LOL

Ok, Onto the real reason your here!!!! Scrappy Mom's Newest Set Sneak Peak!!!!! SOOO EXCITED! Now this set is a must for all your summer fun that will be happening soon....its called "Sun Kissed".  Take a peak at the whole set below.  

I decided that I wanted to show how this set can be used for other things besides Summer Fun....although I will be making a quite a few summer projects with this one.  The card I made is a Joy Fold or Z fold card.  I used the simple but perfect stamp of "Enjoy".  I also got to use one of my newest stamp sets from Stampin' Up!  Hope you enjoy it!
