I can't believe it's November 15th!!!

Where did November go? Then again, I am not sure where the months went starting in about July! But, here we are at November 15th and I get to share what I have been working on over at A Walk Down Memory Lane!

I was so excited that I got to work with this GORGEOUS Bo Bunny Flutter Butter! It took me a long time to cut into it because it is so darn pretty, but I am really glad that I did!
Beauty:
And this LO was done with this month's featured manufacturer: PINK PAISLEE! I loved working with this Spring Fling line and have used darn near every scrap of it! I especially loved the sheet of die cuts where the large bracket frame came from!
The FIRST Missing Tooth:This card also shows some more Spring Fling paper and die-cuts and these super cute Prima Felt flowers! Love 'em!!

Accordion Card & A Color Challenge

Hi, All!! Friday at A Walk Down Memory Lane means a new challenge to do (and another chance to win some scrappy goodies)!! This week is a color challenge. Check out the AWDML DT Blog for all of the details of the challenge.

As an example for the color challenge, I made this Accordion Fold Card that was inspired by one I found one day while surfing the internet looking for fun ideas. I can't remember where I saw it, but the design idea definitely stuck with me! I used the Dream Street Sam Papers. And, I made a quick and easy tutorial on how to make this card. Just click HERE to see it.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Make it a GREAT day!

I am a SCRAPAHOLIC!!

Yes!! I AM a Scrapaholic, but it's also the name of a wonderful kit club! And, I was asked to be the November "Visiting Therapist." The kit is gorgeous and features Bo Bunny's Kitchen Spice paper and Cosmo Cricket's Nutmeg paper. And, the embellisments are gorgeous, too-- lots of Maya Road goodies!!

In this layout I used the kit and my daughter's 2nd grade school photos. I used one of the Maya Road journaling cards to mat the wallet sized photo and cut the flowers out of one of the papers to create the embellie cluster. To create the title, I inked the chipboard letters from the kit and heat embossed them with clear powder. I also added some Stickles!
I want to thank Lynn at IAAS for this opportunity! And, I would encourage any scrapper to look into her kits! They are a great value, especially if you do a subscription!! You can check them out on her homepage--> HERE

Happy November 1st!!!

The month of November brings PINK PAISLEE as the Featured Manufacturer at A Walk Down Memory Lane! I chose to use their "Spring Fling" line and found that it is very easy to work with! The colors are wonderful and the patterns were really fun!

Here is my Flirty Fella on the day of his birthday party! I was inspired to make the tree by a card tutorial that my friend Scarlett Salomone did. Isn't it cute?! And, the sketch, by the lovely Lucy Chesna is the November 1st sketch at MY SKETCH WORLD!!
Ahhh...my girls!! This is getting to be a famous photo of Lucy, Suzann and I during our all too short visit this summer. We had an absolute blast and I can't wait to do it again! I think that this gorgeous paper, and the sketch by Becky Fleck did the photo justice. :)

This cute and simple card was made with Pink Paislee's Spring Fling line and a set of Just Rite Stamps. These stamps are super cute and I am having a great time learning to use them!

This card is for all of you that actually visit my blog, and especially those of you that leave comments! Thanks so much for letting me share my work with you!

Be sure to stop by the AWDML DT BLOG today for the full reveal from the Design Team, and EVERY DAY for fun challenges and tutorials (there will even be a prize every month!!)

I hope that November brings you lots of things to be thankful for! Thanks for stopping by!!

Oh, Happy Day!!

I have no idea how it got to be the 15th of October already! My baby is going to be 6 in three days and my little girl is constantly wiggling her two loose front teeth. *sigh* It all goes way too fast!

But, it IS the 15th of the month, so I get to share with you what I have been working on for A Walk Down Memory Lane! This month's featured manufacturer is Imaginisce and you can get any of their products for 15%off until the end of the month in the AWDML store!

My American Girl: This LO features the GORGEOUS Bo Bunny Delilah line! I had a great time cutting out those flowers from a sheet of one of the patterned papers and shaping them to have all of the dimension. And, I had lots of fun with the Cinnamon Stickles, too!! This LO was also inspired by a sketch by Helen Croft.
My Wise Guy: For this LO I got to play with the new line from Dream Street called "Sam." This line is SO fun and is very versatile for fall layouts, boy layouts...anything! And, I used my sketch that I shared on the AWDML DT Blog.

Halloween Treat Bags: Aren't these CUTE!?! They are super easy, too! Keep your eye on the AWDML DT Blog on Saturdays for great tutorials brought to you by the DT...and you might just find out how to make these...hint, hint!! I used lots of AC Cardstock and Doodle Bug Hocus Pocus Papers.

Thanksgiving card: I made this super cute turkey with my Scallop Circle Nestibilities dies! These dies are seriously one of the best scrappy purchases I have ever made!! This card also uses a sketch by the lovely Lucy Chesna and some more of the Bo Bunny Delilah papers.

I hope you have enjoyed my "big" reveal! But, the fun doesn't stop here!! Make sure to stop by the other Design Team Members' blogs for more scrappy goodness. And, check out the AWDML Design Team blog for a look at everything!

Happy October 1st!!!

It's been a long day, but finally I get to share my work with you!!

The featured manufacturer this month at A Walk Down Memory Lane is Imaginisce!! I had a GREAT time working with their Teacher's Pet line!! It worked GREAT for those back to school photos and for cards for the teachers. The papers are versatile enough that they can be used for LO's that aren't about schoool, too!!

Don't forget that the featured manufacturer is always 15% off at AWDML, too!!

This first layout showcases the Imaginisce papers, and also the October 1st Sketch at My Sketch World (by the lovely and talented Lucy Chesna). My baby started Kindergarten this year. It's amazing how I could be so excited and happy, and so sad all at the same time...
And, here's my cutie pie!! This paper can do non-school layouts, too! And, this is based on another sketch by the lovely Lucy Chesna.

This card will be perfect for Teacher Appreciation week, even though it's not until spring. For once I am ahead of the game!! Now I just need to make two more....good thing I have plenty left!! ;)

I hope that you stop by the AWDML DT Blog, or the AWDML Gallery to see what the other DT members have done, too!!

Thanks for stopping by!!
