A Fabulous Trio

Recently, I had the awesome privilege to combine Best Creation with Helmar adhesives and a very cool Punky Sprouts album. This week we will be working alongside Helmar to show you all the amazing crafts we have cooked up for your inspiration. Hopefully we will succeed in giving you lots of crafty, scrappy mojo to keep you scrappin' all summer long!!!! So without further adieu, here is my Alfalfa Sprouts Album.....

What do you think????? I hope you enjoy it, as much as I enjoyed making it. And here is a little crafty secret....You must have an adhesive that works like a charm, otherwise it slows down your creative process....so I used the two products from Helmar that you see above.

Ok, that is all from me today, but this is an all week reveal so I will be seeing you again! Until then, big hugs from me and I hope you have a lovely day!

MME

I'm sure most of you love My Mind's Eye as much as I do. Well today I decided to play along with their sketch challenge. Yesterday I was fortunate enough to get my hands on tons of "Stella and Ruby" papers so I eagerly pulled out my stash and got to scrappin'.

Speaking of scrappy goodness...I stumbled upon the sweetest little scrap store yesterday. Recently, the only local store I had, closed down. So to my surprise, one of the ladies I have had the privilege of knowing from the old store, has now opened her own. And not only is this a store, but soon it will be a retreat for scrappers as well. The owner is Karrie Allen who is also.......wait for it........the sister to the creator of Bazzill cardstock!!!!!!!! So needless to say, if you are in need of all things Bazzill, she's got it!!!!!! The Store is called Scrapin Savvy and it is the cutest little place off the beaten path!!!!! If you are ever in Spring, TX, you have got to make a detour and check it out for yourself.

Ok, now for the sketch challenge....

The twist in this challenge was to use a song for the title. I used Katy Perry's "Firework" for mine because that is exactly what my baby girl is.....A Firework!!!!! She is so amazing and so talented....she sings, play's cello, and acts (as in theater). Abigail dreams of a future in the arts and I just know that if she continues to work on her craft, she will achieve her dreams. I love you baby!!!!!

Well, that's all for today. I've got to get ready for a baseball tournament!!!! Caleb made a select baseball team and I am so ready to start cheering him on!!!!!

Have a wonderful day Scrappers!!!!

Hugs,

Tubes for Storage

 

We were asked to think of what we could store in the SRM Tubes.....For me, that is loose change. What better way to sort coins than the tubes. I decorated the tubes with the $$$$ signs to make it fun for the kids. So, what do ya think?????? I think you need to go to the SRM blog and check out what the other design team members have stored in their tubes....it's nothing short of ingenious!!!!!!!

ScrapRoom Sketch Challenge

It's time for another sketch challenge over at The ScrapRoom and as always, there is a prize up for grabs!!!! Here is the sketch....

 And here is my take on it with one of the fabulous additions to the the Flavor of the Month kit

And here is one more layout that I was able to do....not based on the sketch.

  I just love the way this turned out by just adding the black cardstock!!!!  Ok, are you inspired yet???? Take a look at what the other DT did with the sketch and join in on the fun!!!!! Meet ya there!

ScrapRoom Sketch Challenge 

Loops and Scoops

I am so thrilled to announce the new line, Loops and Scoops, by Best Creation. It has inspired me to scrap pictures that were forever put on the back burner. You know, those pictures that you think you will hold on to until that perfect paper line comes out but that perfect paper line never comes????!!!!! Well here it is....

 Don't you just love it????!!!! It has everything you need for many different themes of FUN!!!!! Today me and the DT got to use any Becky Fleck PageMap sketch to help introduce this amazing new line.

 On this layout I focused on just the ICE CREAM...Abigail, Lauren and their friend got to enjoy some Italian ice cream, GELATO, while we were in Destin, FL. See, I told you, you can scrap many different themes with this line.

Here is another layout I made....I have to admit, this one makes me (sniff sniff) a little weepy and soft. Very fun memories.....

See what I mean...now doesn't that layout make you feel all mushy inside??? Anyway, I hope you love this line as much as I do. So many options, so much FUN!!!!!!! If you get a chance, drop by the Best Creation blog and see what the rest of the DT created HERE.

Have a Wonderful Day!!!!!
