Scrappy Mom's Sneak Peak & Jibber Jabber

Hello Everyone!!!

It has been quite some time since I have been posted....Sorry that I have been missing in action.  As you know I've been super sick and am just not finally getting over it.  Still have a cough but am feeling TONS better! Thank you to you all who sent Get Well Wishes.  This past weekend we celebrated my hubby's 25th birthday---man is he getting old! HAHAHA....Thought I'd add in a picture of him.  This picture was taken only about 2 weeks after we started dating, back in 2006 (he looks so young!) 

  

I was crazy and started to watch Extreme Couponing....have you all seen it?!? If so, what do you think about it?? Well, I now strive to save extreme bucks on groceries and its started to consume some time....here is my craft space cluttered with coupons!!! This is why I've been MIA! LOL

Ok, Onto the real reason your here!!!! Scrappy Mom's Newest Set Sneak Peak!!!!! SOOO EXCITED! Now this set is a must for all your summer fun that will be happening soon....its called "Sun Kissed".  Take a peak at the whole set below.  

I decided that I wanted to show how this set can be used for other things besides Summer Fun....although I will be making a quite a few summer projects with this one.  The card I made is a Joy Fold or Z fold card.  I used the simple but perfect stamp of "Enjoy".  I also got to use one of my newest stamp sets from Stampin' Up!  Hope you enjoy it!

Scrappy Mom's Terrific Tuesday Challenge!!

Hey Everyone!!!

I want to first thank you all for the get well wishes....they truly mean a lot.  I'm still a bit under the weather and now the hubby is catching it so I've been taking care of him as well.  I'm sorry that I've been majorly MIA recently.  I hope to be back to some type of schedule soon.

As you know, Scrappy Mom's has released another FABULOUS set called Happily Ever After.  Its perfect for any princess :)  This is the first time that I'll be showcasing it.  The Scrappy Mom Sista's have been showing off the set, so be sure to check out their blogs by clicking on their name in the right sidebar.  

For today's Terrific Tuesday Challenge, we had to use the Once Upon A Princess Cartridge.  My project is very simply and doesn't use the cartridge much.  I came up with a little gift box.  Perfect for perhaps a birthday party as thank you gifts to the princess who joined the party.  I put in the box a bracelet, just to give you an idea.  

The idea for the box came from Splitcoast Stampers.  Hope you guys enjoyed it! Be sure to check out the other great project at the Scrappy Mom Blog by clicking on the button on the right sidebar.

Terrific Tuesday Challenge for Scrappy Mom's!

Hey Everyone!!

I hope that you all had a great weekend and a Happy Easter!  I'm sorry that I've been Totally MIA this past week.  We have been absolutely Swamped at work and I randomly decided to change my craft corner around pretty drastically.  Its taken me forever to organize it and get everything where it needs to be to my liking.  My hubby is also going to be working on some shelves to put within my Expedite to create more space within each cube.  So the organize has been keeping me pretty busy.  I'll be sure to post pictures soon! 

Any ways.....Its Terrific Tuesday Challenge time!!!  This weeks challenge was to use the Paisley Cricut Cartridge.  As I've mentioned, my hubby recently let me go on a Major Stampin' Up! shopping spree and I'm still getting around to using everything.  So today, I decided to stray from the card.  I've made a little basket.  You can put candy and little goodies in it.  Its a project that's features within the Ideas & Catalogue book.  So, here is my project.  Hope you all enjoy it!  Also, don't forget to check out my fantastic Scrappy Mom Sister's projects by click on their name in the right sidebar and also join in on the challenge at the Scrappy Mom's Blog (simply click on the Scrappy Mom's Design Team button)
