Halloween Stuff

Hey guys! Here are just a few fun Halloween things I've made in the last 2ish weeks. A card, a layout (I still need to print the pictures, obviously!), and some little treat tins. I think I'm kind of addicted to altering these tins! I can't wait to do more for Christmas! Hope everyone is having a Happy Wednesday!

Oh Scraps!

Happy Monday! Welcome to the 4th Challenge at Paper Therapy! This week's Challenge is a good one, but may be kinda tricky! You are to make a project using nothing but scraps...no new product allowed!! You can use stamps and ink, and your base paper can be new, but nothing else! If you're anything like me, you have PLENTY of scraps laying around. I have way too many scraps! I save everything...just in case! ;) Here's my take on the Challenge...

I love these little monsters...too cute! And how fitting for a lil guy that has a birthday this month?!? C'mon over and join us at Paper Therapy! I'd love to see what you can make from your scraps!

Have a good week everyone! I hope to post a few Halloween projects I did last weekend later on this week! Hopefully time doesn't get away from me! :)

Challenge #3

Happy Monday everyone! Time for another challenge over at Paper Therapy! This week's challenge is a color challenge. Create a project using the following colors (or something similar) and upload it over in the Challenge Forum. You'll have the chance to win a blinkie for your blog!

Here's my take on the challenge. I used it as an opportunity to create a "male friendly" card! I never seem to have cards for guys when I need them! Now I've got at least one in my stash! ;)

Another Challenge from Paper Therapy

Happy Monday! The start of another week and that means another challenge over at Paper Therapy! This week's challenge was to use the first stamp that you ever bought. If you don't have your first stamp, use the earliest one you remember buying. I'm not sure what my first stamp was, but I know that this "thanks" stamp was one of my first. I actually think it was a gift from my mom! :) I really like the way this card turned out...simple, but cute! :)

C'mon...dig through that stash...what was your first stamp? Get it out and make something. Post your take on the challenge over at Paper Therapy for the chance to be the winner of this week's challenge! Have a great week everyone! Happy Scrappin'!

A few things from the retreat

Ok, I know it's been over a week, but I finally got around to taking pictures of some of the stuff I did at the retreat last weekend. It was a GREAT time!! Getting to spend a whole weekend with my sister was awesome! It was way overdue!! We went for drinks on Friday night and spent all of Saturday and some of Sunday scrapping and just catching up! Kris was awesome too!! Such a sweetheart! :) Here are some of my favorites projects from the weekend.

Criss-Cross Card- This was for a challenge at the retreat to use at least 2 things from the goody bag we got.

This is my favorite layout of the weekend. Justin and his lil buddy Gabe! :)

Gotta love the kid that wants to learn to ride Daddy's old skateboard!

This was for the monochromatic challenge.

These were the cards I made in a class I took. We made 4 cards and a "box" for them. Super cute! I definitely see myself using these as gifts in the near future!

Lora from Scrapaholic Retreats did an awesome job planning a super weekend! I can't wait to do it all again in April!

Happy Monday!

Happy Monday everyone! I had such a great weekend scrapping with my sister and Kristin at our retreat! It was my first ever retreat and Michelle and I are already planning on going back in April (Kristin, you definitely need to come too!!) I promise I'll post pictures of what I did later. But before we talk about what I did this weekend.....

Today is the first challenge over at Paper Therapy! I'm so excited. The Design Team did a GREAT job. This week's challenge was a sketch (my favorite kind of challenge!!) and here's my take on it. I just love this lil monkey stamp! :)

Hope to see everyone there! Have a great Monday! And I promise I'll be back soon to tell you all about the retreat!
