scrap happy......

Good morning my Scraptastic friends! I'm so sorry that I didn't post yesterday....it's tax season and when I got home from work Tuesday night it was almost 11 and I was exhausted....so last night I was super happy that I got to do a lo.....I used the "Enjoy the Little Things" kit. It's a picture from the performance group Declan was a part of at the dance studio in Florida....this is from their Halloween performance....


(sorry for the glare...I had to use the flash...it's still so gloomy here)

I also wanted to share another project from DT Juliann...


I hope that you all have a fabulous day....don't forget about the musical challenge here on the blog....it ends on Sunday.....

i'm feeling musical today.......

Good morning my Scraptastic friends! It's Monday and the kids are on Spring Break....yay!!!

I have some exciting news, I won last week's Sketch Inspiration challenge.....I never win anything, in fact I was talking to Heather over the weekend and I was telling her how I never win anything, then Sunday came and....boom....I won....here's my LO that won.....


Another LO I did was chosen as one of the top 5 on the "Livin' On A Nice Day playlist over at                       Scrap It With A Song

Here's the LO I submitted for that challenge....




As I announced yesterday, I closed down the forum....so today will be our first challenge on the new blog....here's what I want you to do.....pick a song from your high school days and incorporate either the title or some of the lyrics or both into a layout.....here's my example (which was also based on a sketch for a DT call over at Let's Scrap)

My title is....Punk Rock Girl
Which is a song from The Dead Milkmen, not my might favorite song of theirs I would like add......



Here's the video for the song......


Please post your submissions using the Mr. Linky at the bottom of this post...you have until this Sunday April 3rd.....and here's the picture of the prize....

looky, looky what I see.....

Good morning my Scraptastic friends! It's Wednesday and I have lots to share with you today!
Well, last night was Declan's 1st baseball game, they lost, but they all played hard and had fun. Spring break starts next week, so there won't be any more games until the 2nd week of April.

I wanted to share a new LO I did with the Fancy Pants it's your day line. The picture is from Declan's 1st Bday, and he burnt his little fingers on the candle (no one told the "new" parents not to light the candle), I felt so horrible....


I love the blues and greens together on this one, and for those of who might be wondering, yes, I did some journaling on this page, LOL!

I would also like to share a LO from DT Heather Landry. She used the "Birthday Bash" kit...



Now on to the big news for today.....the April kit reveal....

feeling "lucky"? and a winner

Good morning my Scraptastic friends! Happy Sunday!

Well today is my first "Sunday" with What's Scrapping?
And I decided to make some wall art for my Scraproom....
I used a piece of the chipboard that I use as backing for shipping my kits.
Then I cut out a 4" circle for the base of my sun, then I glued down orange and yellow buttons inside the circle. I then cut strips of the same paper in different sizes and curled the ends a bit, then used my Glue Arts Glue Glider Pro to put them down. I had some pearls that I decided to add to the sun's rays. I then took a doily from MME Stella and Rose which I cut to use as my rolling hills, I pulled up the edges to give my hills a little added dimension. And last, but not least, I added some butterflies and hand stitched their trails with a fine tip sharpie!!!

I'd also like to share a couple of LO's from DT Heather Landry....she used the "Princess For A Day" kit...


I also posted the April kits "Enjoy the Little Things" up on the website...the full reveal will be on Wednesday...and they will be available for purchase on March 25th....if you would like to place a pre-order, please email me at members@scraptasticclub.com.

Now on to the good stuff.....I believe I have a winner to announce....I used random.org to pick the winner for me.......and he chose lucky #4

who's feeling "lucky"???

Good morning my Scraptastic friends...happy Thursday!!
Today starts the Scraptastic "Lucky" blog hop.....

But first I want to share the LO I finished last night. When I got home from work there was a large box of scrappy goodness waiting for me....it was part of the April kit "Enjoy the Little Things"....the only items I'm waiting on now is the Fancy Pants "It's the Little Things" items which will be arriving next week..I just couldn't resist busting out the 2 EP "For the Record" papers that will be in the kit (the rest is from my stash)....


When I showed everyone the LO, here's what my daughter had to say...
Bailey - "You had me at hello? Does that even make any sense?"
Me - "It's a famous line from a movie."
Bailey - "Yeah, but does it even make sense?"
I just laughed and walked away......what else is there to say?

So here's the line up for the blog hop:

I couldn't resist.......

Good morning my Scraptastic friends! Happy Wednesday......
So last night while I was sitting in my office / scraproom, I was trying to think of what I felt inspired to do for today's blog post, and I just really loved the card sketch from Imaginisce that I decided to do another one.
Here's the sketch again......

and here's my new Birthday card......


I just love this sketch to pieces.....

So, I should be receiving 1/2 of the April kit today, but the Fancy Part of the kit hasn't yet shipped to me. I will try to put something together for a peek of what's to come for April, since I was reading on Willow Traders this morning about a request for me to "step up" and show some sneaks.....Hopefully I will get that up for this weekend....

Also, please join us Thursday (tomorrow) through Sunday for our "Lucky" blog hop.....one "Lucky" person will be chosen to receive a $10.00 GC for the Scraptastic Club Monthly Scrapbook Kit Club store!!!!

In other news today, I was speaking with Juliann last night about her new "What's Scraping" blog, and I am happy to announce that I will be joining her there as a part of her DT. My day will be Sunday's and I'll be doing wall art.....I hope that you all will join us over there....


Have a wonderful Hump day!!!!
