Froggy Card

Okay, so I hate it when a blogger keeps apologizing for not posting more frequently, but I'm going to have to do it all over again. I'm not very good at organization and sometimes I go for a long time without realizing what I haven't accomplished. I'll attempt to do better, okay?

Here's a new project I made using the Feeling Froggy pattern from Little Scraps of Heaven Designs. This was so easy to make and I love the way it turned out. 

Happy Spring Layout and Multiple Challenges!

If you read my last post, you know I like bargains, so imagine my delight when I discovered Pile It On. It's a challenge site where they encourage you to enter multiple challenges with one papercraft. Very cool, huh?

I created this layout for the Little Scraps of Heaven Design Team Challenge here. This is the sketch. Cute, isn't it?

I used the Bluebird from the Little Bluebird Collection. I love, love, love this file!

I'm also entering the following contests:
Pile It On Challenge- "Up in the Air"
The Poodles Parlour- "Anything Goes"
Make It Monday- "Any Papercraft"
Joyful Stamper-"Anything Goes"

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

14 Days of Valentines-Chocoholic Layout

 First off, I'm so sorry for the condition of this picture. I'm going to take another one tomorrow, hopefully. I have spent all day with my kids and I didn't get my project done today. I've had a wonderful day with my kiddos. At one point in time, my little guy was laughing so hard, he fell over. You can't beat that! I knew if anyone was waiting for today's post, they'd forgive me after knowing I spent time with my family.

My project for today is a layout using patterns from Paper Piecings by Nikki :

The title is from Little Scraps of Heaven

I used a sketch from Little Scraps Of Heaven as well. I planned to make this a boy-themed layout, but somehow it evolved to this. I really like it though.

14 Days of Valentines- Turtle Valentine Layout

Welcome to Love Makes the World Go Round, but Laughter Keeps Us From Getting Dizzy Week. Try putting that on the front of a greeting card!

I figure since this is a papercrafts and scrapbooking blog, I should probably scrapbook a little, right? So, here's my take on a sketch at Little Scraps of Heaven. Each week, they give you a sketch and you do your take on it. I love that because, you can just concentrate on creating. You already know where everything is going to go and you just make the elements. I love concentrating on the art of it and not getting too technical.

Here's a closer look at the turtle:

14 Days of Valentines- Sweet Cherries Card

Remember how I was telling you I wouldn't mind 6 more weeks of this winter? Well, winter arrived yesterday. No snow, but it's muddy and yucky outside. Perfect crafting weather. It's also Ice Cream for Breakfast day. Don't mind if I do! :-)

Today is Day 4 of 14 Days of Valentines and today I have for you a sweet card. I used the Heart Cherries from Little Scraps of Heaven Designs. I also used the Heart Doilies from Designs on Cloud 9. I told you I wanted to use those Heart Doilies.

I'm going to use this card for a card swap I'm participating in. I've never done one before and I'm kind of excited. I'm going to make this card again though, so it is for sale. I can make it in with different colors if you want. It's $3.50, plus $1.50 shipping. Just e-mail me here if you're interested.

On day 3 of 14 Days of Valentines and (also Bubble Gum Day), I have a Sweet Cupcake Picture Frame. It's an 8x8 frame with an opening for a 4x4 picture. This frame is for sale.

The cupcake pattern came from Little Scraps of Heaven Designs. I love this company! They were the first company I knew of who sold paper piecing patterns. Yep, Tricia from Little Scraps of Heaven is definitely responsible for my paper piecing addiction!

14 Days of Valentines-Valentine Mailbox and Blog Candy!

Happy February! When I was younger, my mom declared the first of each month to be International Goof Off Day. We would celebrate by having funny foods and usually, we would either have a light day of schoolwork, or none at all. (We were homeschooled.) Sometimes, we went somewhere for International Goof Off Day. Mom and Dad would know where we were going, but we kids had no idea. The called it "Destination Unknown". We made a lot of memories that way. I'm thinking today might be a good International Goof Off Day...after I get off work, of course. :-)

For the first day of February, a.k.a. International Goof Off Day, we have a Valentine Mailbox. This would be so cute filled with candy. I don't have any, so you have to use your imagination. :-)

The pattern is this week's Build-A-Project from Creative Kuts. You should be able to get the kit here after this week.

Now, on to the blog candy!You have a chance to win a custom gift bag. You tell me what you want on it, and I'll put it on there. I'm thinking this would be adorable on a gift bag.
