For my first post with the team, there is a monthly challenge out there for EVERYONE to take part in! Here are the details:

 

 

 

 

 

Challenge Info: Anything Food or Candy Related

Well, I have got A LOT of their stamps, and there are still MANY more that I want, but I decided to go with the 2 stamp sets for my project. Are you ready to see it???

 

Supplies:

Jaded Blossom Stamps: Teacher Appreciation & School Day Candies

I decided that I wanted to make a little something special for my son's teacher for the end of the year! He really cares about her, and he has given her quite a bit to deal with this past school year. I just wanted her to know that we very much appreciate all she has done for him!

 

So, please be sure to link up YOUR project on the Jaded Blossom Current Challenge Page!!!

 

Be sure to stop back all week long as we show off sneak peaks of this month's release! IT...IS...AWESOME!! I KNOW you will all be buying the whole release after tomorrow's sneak peek!!!

Hey All!

 

So, my BFF's Bridal Shower has FINALLY happened! It has been a LONG time coming, but its finally over! She had such a great time! Even though she hates being the center of attention, she still enjoyed it all! We had it at a little Italian Restaurant near us, and it was great! She even surprised us! She did know, but that was still OK!

 

Here is the beautiful bride to be!

 

 

 

We had it set up very lovely! It was a nice intimate occasion!

 

Here is the card I made her. Now, this is NOT an original design. I remember seeing this card made a ways back (I think it was on Stampin' Connection), and I cant remember who I saw create this! BUT, if you know, please comment below so I can give proper credit! 

 

These are her colors. Its like a Marine Blue and a Lime Green. They look REALLY pretty together! This card took about 15 minutes to make. VERY EASY! Here are the supplies I used:

 

Big Shot

Cricut Pinking Stitch Embossing Folder

Stampin' Up Square Lattice Embossing Folder

Stampin' Up Large Heart Punch

Stampin' Up Everyday Enchantment Ribbon-Lucky Limeade

Recollections Paper

Pearls from my stash

Sentiment from Jaded Blossom Set (I believe it is now retired)

 

She really liked this card. I wrote a little something in there for her! I cried as I wrote it. I am such a such a sap! LOL!

 

OK all, Hope to catch you Craftin' and Stampin'! 

Paper Bag Mini Album-Baby's First Year theme!

***PICTURE HEAVY POST***

Hey All!!

I feel like it has been FOREVER since I have been able to get on here to post! I have been so utterly busy and of coarse I just have to take on more responsibilities since apparently I'm just not happy unless I am beyond stressed out! I need to learn just how to say NO! And guess what, I told myself NO and put EVERYTHING that needed to be done (aside from clothes and house cleaning) and I got my nephews mini album kicked out!

So, if you remember from my post from Exploring Cricut last week, I made the little baby boy and First Tooth saying. Well, those items went into my project that I am going to show you today!!!

I am  part of a group on Face book called PLAY ALONG. In the group, we got a video on how to make a Paper Bag Mini Album. From the album itself, to the binding, to the fold out pages, we made it ALL ourselves!! Ginger (My Sister's Scrapper) had 6 videos on how to make this album, so I followed the videos, and I now have one album done for my nephew Jason!

Here are my pics:
