U R A Q T

It's finally here!!!!! It's Monday and that can only mean the BBTB challenge AND today's blog hop! This week's challenge consisted of using a frame from the Storybook cartridge and one of Regina's printable stamps from her amazing site The Cutting Cafe'. I was asked to use the round "sweet baby" stamp and since there is a new baby in my family, it was perfect! My cousin had her first baby 2 weeks ago and she is just the most precious little thing. The PP is from the Nursery stack by DCWV. I cut the pictures using scalloped border punches and straight circles. The tab was cut from Fabulous Finds, the arrow from Accent Essentials, the rub on is Melissa Frances, and the clear letters are from Heidi Swapp.










Now on to the hop! I know you've been to a couple of blogs by now...but stay with us because there is still a couple more!! All you have to do is leave a comment on this post and you will be entered to win the "SWEET BABY" circle printable stamp from The Cutting Cafe' that I used in this LO. The set also comes with phrases: "10 little fingers 10 little toes", "AWWWWW! It's a girl!", "AWWWW! It's a boy!", and "Congrats on your new bundle of joy". These stamps are just perfect to add to any project!! Make sure to leave your comment by Friday at midnight because the winner will be chosen on Saturday morning (EST) using random.org.

Now HOP ON OVER to Sharon's blog to continue playing along. All the designers will be giving away a wonderful printable stamp or cutting file from The Cutting Cafe'. Enjoy the hop and good luck to everyone who participates!!

Mom

Can I start by saying that this year is simply flying by...it's mother's day this upcoming Sunday already! I love this day because we get to celebrate the most important women in our lives. My mother is such a big part of my life that I don't know what I would do without her. Soooo....I was really happy to find out that Regina had us use the 'mom' word from Beyond Birthdays along with the vase cut. I decided to make a little bag for my mom to fill up with some goodies for a trip that she is planning to Spain. I used the nut cup from TBBM and some yummy paper from a K & Company stack that I have. I used the StoryBook cart to make the scalloped circle and accent to put the word 'mom' on. I hope everyone has a beautiful Mother's Day!

Junk For Your Trunk

Happy Tuesday to all! This week over at the BBTB, we were asked to use the Inch bag from TBBM with an image from PeggyLovesVintage. Make sure to go visit her site because she has some of the most amazing vintage images that you will ever see! I cut some circles out of red felt, stitched, around the window, embossed the saying onto the image, attached an eyelet and used a safety pin to attach it to the ribbon. Then I put some candy in a cellophane bag and voila! Please enjoy:

Sisters 24/7

Hope everyone had a good weekend. I am so happy to say that I spent a lot of time thinking, scrapping and creating!!! This week for Regina's BBTB challenge, she had us use the 24/7 cut from Graphically Speaking. I decided to scrap pictures of my sister and I using a scrapbooking kit that I purchased from SweetArts Paperie. This kit is AMAZING; it has great papers from Cosmo Cricket, ribbons, chipboard, rub-ons, buttons, and a cute scalloped square chipboard album.



I also went over to 2 Sketches 4 You to see what wonderful sketch they had for this week since I wanted to make a double page LO. I used Laura's sketch to create it with the same yummy papers from the kit. Enjoy!!



In the kit, Krista sends some printable stamps that Regina creates and sells at The Cuttin' Cafe. They are adorable and can be used in anything!!

Happy Birthday

Hello everyone!! Been busy busy with wedding and baby showers but now that they are over I got some time in to do some scrapping! For Regina's challenge over at the BBTB we were to use the Happy Birthday sign from the Hello Kitty cartridge. I was rummaging through my pictures to try to find some that I could scrap and came across these that we took on my husband's birthday. The PP is from Making Memories, ribbon from CTMH. Please enjoy and I will be back soon!
