Sneak Peak for Scrappy Mom #2

Hey Everyone!

So today is Tuesday Challenge for Momo's Blog.  The challenge was to make anything BESIDES a card! She always likes to pull a fast one on us....ehehehe.  So I created a "treat bag" that is filled with some ground coffee.  This also serves as my second sneak peak for Scrappy Mom Stamps! If you haven't headed over to Scrappy Mom's blog to order this set.......you better head over there and order away because this set is fabulous!

Trying to put a smile on the face of a child suffering from Cancer!!!

** To see my project for the "sneak peak" of the new scrappy mom's stamp set, click HERE!**

After working for my parents business for 10 years, you get to know your customers pretty well and over time they become more like friends. One of the customers had told me last year that he was thrilled that his niece, Madison, was in remission from Leukemia! Their family was over joyed that such a young girl had beat this vicious cancer (she's only 6 years old). However, just last week, their family was just hit with the most horrific news........Madison's cancer has returned.

Now I personally do not know Madison BUT i'm the type of person who wants to help whenever I can. I know that I cant cure her but I can help with making her day a little better by sending her a card to put a smile on her face. So, this is where i'm hoping to get your help.....i'm hoping to get a TON of cards to cheer up Madison. "Get well" cards and anything that is super girly would be perfect!!! And if you'd like to send a small gift, ex: a barbie or stuffed animal, im sure it would cheer her up and keep her company while she spends the next several weeks in the hospital. I know she loves pink, butterflies, and anything girly.

If your interested in helping please send your cards/packages to the following address by Friday, October 29th (please have it in the mail on or before that date):

Trisha Theo
Po Box 7806
North Port, Florida 34290

Thank you everyone in advance for spreading the word and helping this young girl get through such a hard time,

Trish

Ps....if you'd like to send a card to Madison's parents with words of encouragement or your prayers, their names are Bobby & Maria.

Scrappy Mom's Sneak Peak





Hey everyone!

So i'm just riding along in the car with my hubby heading to the Airforce Base for appointments. And just realized that I could download a Blogger App on my new phone!!!!! Wahoooooo!!!!!!! The only thing I can't do is rotate pictures :( so please just touch ur ear to your shoulder and ull be able to see the picture correctly! Lol.

Unfortunately, I can only post one picture so to see the new FABULOUS stamp set by Scrappy Mom's, click  HERE! 

So this is what I came up with!!!!! I used 2 layers of UTEE on the jar portion. That's why it looks super shiny but the color looks dull. It was the look I was looking for. And I used fabric on the top with braiding cord around it. When I see jam for sale at craft fairs- I always see fabric over the lids for a decorative look....so I followed along and applied it to my card. :) Hope you guys like it!!!!

Also be sure to check out my design team sista's who have been showing off amazing projects as well!!! You can check out there blogs by clicking on their name in my sidebar under my Scrappy Mom's DT button!

Ps.... We all, from creative scraps need a little bit of a Vacation...lol we're not feeling so "creative". So we will be back next week! Lol

Momo's Birthday Blog Hop Bash!!!

HELLO EVERYONE!!!!!

I'm so glad that you ALL have joined us today to celebrate Momo's birthday with a Birthday Blog Hop Bash!!  I had the opportunity this week to meet THE one and only Momo and treat her to lunch for her birthday and I honestly had the absolute GREATEST TIME! She has seriously been a crafting idol of mine ever since I began stalking blogs in December of '09, so to meet her was Amazing!

I am so incredibly honored to be part of this blog hop and not just because it is for Momo's Birthday but because I can honestly say that some of my closest blogging friends are part of this and people who's work inspire me day to day! I mean you have the all around diva Momo, the scrapbooking queen Lauren, the fabulous Scrappy Mom's Mel & Tammy, my blogging besties Molly & Cristi, my secret accomplices Julie & Sarah ;), and the list just goes on and on and on!!! All these ladies blogs are stalked out on an hourly basis by me! LOL So honestly, this might be my favorite hop thus far because of group of ladies that are participating in it!

Ok, so enough of my mumbo jumbo...i tend to ramble a lot, i need to fix that! LOL Ok so I had a bit of a tough time with this because Julie showed me her project early this week and its FABULOUS and I wanted to create something extra special for this hop but my mojo was long gone after last night/this morning ordeal.  I started thinking of people's birthdays and thought of my SISTER!! She is turning the BIG 17 in March, which means she will get her license and can drive SOLO in the state of New Jersey....MAJORLY SCARY THING! I remember changing her diapers! lol....So, I decided to create an invitation for her birthday! And its oh so fitting! Everything on this screams my sister! From the colors,the bling, to the "blah, blah, blah" sticker! Oh yeah, and she's ALWAYS flashing a Peace Sign! {Read all the way to the end to see for yourself!} 



 I used the Sweethearts Cartridge for the Car and Once Upon a Princess for the balloons!

Wanna know whats for blog candy?!?!?! I felt like this was just right for this Blog Hops theme!
