Happy Holidays!

Happy Saturday!

I don't know about you all, 

but I am so happy that the weekend is here!

What a week!

I was down and out with 

a virus the majority

of the week; so fun!

And, then, just because I wasn't

having enough fun, my body

decided to break out in a rash.

All over my body, 

and I mean all over!

Not fun or pretty!

It finally went away, and I still

have a sore throat, but I can deal

with that, right?

:)

We have a new challenge starting today

over on the 

Hiding In My Craft Room blog.

This week sees us with:

HMCR #218 - Any Holiday!

woohoo!!

And our sponsor is the delightful

Scrapper's Delights!

(I adore their images!!)

The giveaway is 3 images from Scrapper's Delights!!

Here is what I came up with:

She was fun to color!

 I used my Prismacolors, 

and for the trim, I heat embossed white 

onto the image, to give a little texture.

(sorry you cannot see it--very difficult to

photograph)

The papers are a combination of DCWV (blues) and

MME (pink).

The sentiment is from Jillibean Soup.

That is it for me for now.

Have an awesome day!

Be safe. Get crafty!

Stamp and Create

Have you seen those cute stamps???

Team Colors

Happy Saturday!!

How was your week??

Mine--alright.

Little Miss started Kindergarten this past week, 

and it felt like my heart was being torn..again.

It was hard to see her go 

onto the school bus, with her backpack, lunchbag.

But she enjoyed school, and

that is what counts.

I did not get emotional when she was boarding--

I was a good girl!

I held it in!

Until after.

Aye!

So, I cleaned. And cleaned.

And did more cleaning.

With the music on.

Because, dang! it was

toooo quiet! lol

Anyways, Saturdays means a

new challenge over on the

Hiding In My Craft Room blog!!

This week,

HIMCR #215 - Favorite Team Colors!

And the sponsor is

The giveaway is a $7 Gift Certificate to Pickled Potpourri!

The Design Team were given a choice of image to work with.

I chose the girl in the bathtub.
Bubble Over is what the image is called, 
found here.

(To be honest, I wish I was THAT girl!) :)

And this is my design:

The red paper is from Doodlebug Designs, blue from DCWV. 

Colored with Prismacolors. 

I used different colors than what I would normally use, but the 

challenge this week is team colors. 

With the football season among us, 

the challenge was to make a project representing

your fave team's colors.

Well, I am not a football fan.

I am a hockey fan.

And my fave hockey team

are the Montreal Canadians!

GO,HABS, GO!

And their colors are represented by my card.

BUT, 

if there are complaints, 

it also matched my team, should I HAVE to pick one, 

Montreal Allouettes (CFL)

Same colors. So, both bases covered!

That is it for me for now!

Have an awesome weekend!

Be safe. Get crafty!

Cousins layout

Happy Monday!

Are your kiddies (if you have any)  back in school yet??

My youngest one starts Kindergarten this afternoon, 

she is then off tomorrow, and then

full days the rest of the week. 

It is formatted like this to

slowly integrate the kids

into Kindergarten.

The class was divided into 2 groups--

April is in group B, so

it is the afternoon for her!

She is uber excited!!

I was able to get some crafting done this weekend!

Yay Me!

I had an old photo of myself with my cousins

that I had been wanting to scrapbook for

quite some time now.

I stayed with the muted 

tones of the photo onto my layout.

I used basic grey's Hey Girl and Hey Boy

papers for the the mat behind the photo.

The cardstock is from DCWV.

The enamel letters are something from my stash

from many, many moons ago.

Various die cuts from Teresa Collins, Crate paper.

Title letters are from

Amy Tangerine ('Cousins'), Jillibean Soup ('friends').

The chipboard ampersand is from Crate Paper.

Black arrow is from Heidi Swapp, 

yellow chipboard is from Crate paper.

The brads are from Basic Grey, Making Memories.

After I finished my layout, 

I realized it was eligible for a challenge!!

Cards by April

Hiya!

Back again--this time with my sidekick!

She loves to craft!!

That makes me so happy--another

crafting person in the house !!

(Although I don't think my hubby will

appreciate it too much--more scrappy purchases)

LOL

But it's all good!

April is starting school in a few days, 

and, in my experience, with school, 

there are always birthdays and parties

and such.

So, I talked to April about this, 

and we (more like HER!) 

created some cards--

to be prepared, you know?
She loves to give cards!

 She used die cuts from Fancy Pants Desing 'True Friends' collection.
No joke, friends, she did this one herself!!!
I don't know about you, but I am
impressed, and quite proud of her!!

For this one, she looked for a jar die cut, which thankfully I had
received from my pocket page pal, and she chose a 'hello'
die cut from a swap I had participated a while back.
Flowers and puffy stickers are from stash.
She has a good eye! (I could be bias, though!) :D

This is one I whipped up together.
I used a coffee stain stencil, with
TH Distress inks.
The polka dot ribbon (adhesive) is from
a swap, and the coffee
cup is a die cut from my PP pal!
The stamped sentiment is from Prima.

She would like to enter these cards into a challenge:

Hiding In My Craft Room #212d--dies cuts

Did you know??
Hiding In My Craft Room

is celebrating 6 years!!!

Congratulations!!!

So, that is it for us!

Be safe. Get crafty!
