Cute scraps

Are you clearing out your scraps and using up all the little tidbits laying around? On today's cards all my embellishments came from leftovers in different WOTG's. I used leftover dimensional elements from the Caboodle WOTG and also twinkle brads from the Jingle WOTG for the friend card along with the "True Friends" Stamp of the month from January.

The Birthday card are leftovers from the Tickled Pink kit last summer along with "Piece of Cake" stamp of the month from February, and did you notice the Prisma glitter on the cupcakes, I have lots of other brands of glitter but Prisma glitter is my all time favorite, it is extra fine so it has so much more sparkle than the others, it will show up on even the tiniest of places.

The WOTG kits are loaded with way more embellishments than you need to create the pages or cards that are highlighted in the how to brochure included in the kit. WOTG kits are only available while the catalog is current, they change with the release of each new catalog so time is running out for the current cattie, new catties will go live May 1st, if you are interested in any of the current WOTG's give me a call or send an e-mail so I can get one to you before time runs out.

Time to get back in my room and create a few more cards to finish out the week, then on to the docks to spring clean the boat for the summer. YUK!!

A few more cards

I realized I had an additional card to post so here ya go. I got ahead of myself this week since I was taking Tuesday and Wednesday off to go to the zoo with Heather and Tyler, we got back home earlier than we expected yesterday so I got in my room for a little more card making and resting!!! Our zoo in NC is 5 miles of trails so I was wore out when we got home, but we had such a great little overnight trip.

Tyler is hung up on elephants right now, once he saw them he was ready to go, but we convinced him we should visit with the other animals or they would be sad. Ty has got to be one of the best little guys in the world, he never complains, rarely gets fussy and always comes out with something that cracks us up, yesterday was no exception!! I can't wait to get started on his zoo pages but it will have to wait until my CTMH order arrives, lots of new zoo stamps are on their way!

Crazy For Cards

I am lovin the whole card thing this week, they are quick, easy and I am using up some of my scrap stash, all good things. I need to get busy and make a new organizer for my cards, right now they are stored in one of my drawers but I need the drawers for new supplies that will be coming in soon. I received my summer catties Monday, all the new goodies need a home. You are gonna love the new lines in the summer cattie, normally there are at least one paper kit that I am not crazy about but this time I want it all!!! I can't wait to share everything with you but it will have to wait until May 1st when the cattie goes live. We also have a GREAT new kit coming out for national scrapbooking month on the 14th of April, I already have my layouts ready to post but I need to wait until next week when the special begins.
Hope you have time to make a card or two today then stick them in the mail for a friend or family member for no reason at all except to put a big smile on their face.

Card Creations

I dug out my scraps from the Felicity kit to see what I could come up with, I like both of the cards but will be filing these away until the fall, they just feel very fallish to me.

It is amazing what you can do with scraps of paper, adhesive and a few cute stamps; figured I save $10.00 today by making my own cards and saved even more cause I stayed out of the stores!

Grab your scrap bags and get busy ladies, we can all use a little dose of saving money.

Watch Out Hallmark

Had such a good night sleep last night with the windows wide open however we woke up this morning to a layer of yellow pollen on everything in sight :(, anyone in the Carolina's can tell you for the next few weeks we can't keep our cars and homes free of the stuff.

I tossed the idea of a card challenge this week around and decided to go for it, now keep in mind I am a scrapbooker at heart so don't be disappointed in what I will be posting!! I love to make cards mainly to use up my scraps and to justify purchasing the ohhh so cute card stamp sets. As an added challenge you must use what you have on hand, no shopping this week ladies even from me!! I want you to use up what you have so you feel good about your next purchase, the economy still stinks, we must all be more careful what we purchase and pace ourselves, so make up you list and check it twice, just wait a week and use what you have!!!

I whipped up the baby boy card from leftovers of the Caboodle WOTG, love how it turned out so I will be making a few more, we have lots of babies due this summer. The second card are leftovers from a kit we will be offering the 15th of this month, you are gonna love it and the price is GREAT more from that kit later!!

Lets get busy making cards so we can save the $5.00 each to use on new supplies next week.

Short but sweet post

We have had a wonderful Easter weekend, hope all of you had a great time with family and friends.

Wanted to post a little something until I can get the time to get back in my scraproom and create. I made this card with odds and ends from the Veranda WOTG kit for a friends Birthday this week, couldn't post it until I was sure she had received it along with a little something that hopefully put a smile on her face. I have been so busy lately working on layouts it was refreshing to make a card for a change. Maybe that should be next weeks challenge to work on cards, will have to sleep on it.

Happy Easter!!!

I won't be posting for a few days, our plate is full, or should I say overflowing!! We have so much yard work that still needs to be done, Easter Baskets to fill, food for Easter Sunday to cook, open the boat for the summer, clean the garage, the list goes on and on and our temperature in NC hit 89 degrees yesterday! Looks like spring by-passed us this year and we went right on into summer. Wanted to share photo's of Tyler at soccer last weekend, I have so many pictures of Ty waiting to be scraped but I promised myself this winter I would concentrate on our own girls albums for awhile, so I keep printing his and holding them in a photo album until I have the time to go on our annual scrapin in the mountain's retreat which I hope I can pull off in May (fingers crossed)

I did start a unfinished project during nap time yesterday but it still sets on my desk partly unfinished and may have to stay that way until next week. Have a safe and Happy Easter filled with family, friends, good food, and most importantly praise for our Heavenly Father.
