A Beautiful Day!

I must say that I love fall weather! Definitely not hot and not too cold. The colors outside are beautiful and the nights are long! We're gonna get out in it in a minute, but I wanted to post another layout I did using the November kit from Scrap-tastic first.

I love the colors in this kit which coordinate perfectly with these photos of my great niece Savannah. She was celebrating her first birthday! I she a cutie pie or what? The stamps I used are of course from Unity Stamp Co.

Well, that's all for today! Have a wonderful weekend, take care, and Be Blessed!

HIP HOP!!

After my absence from last week's Hip Hop Thursday, I'm happy to be back in the rotation today!

 

I had such a good time making this card! I used paper by Scenic Route, ribbon by Offray, a tag from JoAnn, flowers from Kaiser Craft and Prima, and the  Fall Festival kit  from Unity Stamp Co.!

As usual, you know Unity has some fabulous prizes they're giving away today as well as some great specials and new stamp releases. To view the new releases and specials, go to Angela's blog HERE.  To leave a comment for me and possibly win one of those new releases, just leave me a comment.

Now, I'm gonna send you on to the ever-so-stampalicious Linsey to see what incredible masterpiece she's showcasing today!  Enjoy your hop, take care and Be Blessed!

Mellow Monday

I love it when the beginning of the week just kinda eases in. So soft and gentle as an autum breeze. That's the kind of day it was for me and I love it. It always puts me in the best kind of mood for scrapping.

This layout I made today using the soon-to-be-released November kit at Scrap-Tastic. I just love it and I know you will too! Make sure you get one of these before they sell out!

Well, that's it. Take care and Be Blessed!

It's The Weekend Baby!

Wowieee! What a week I've had, but I'm sooooo glad it's the weekend! Not only did I work my regular schedule, but I had to add 4 more hours onto each evening for parent-teacher conferences! All I can say is I'm glad it's over! Since I missed Hip Hop Thursday, I'm gonna try to make it up and post more stuff this week. I'm also gonna be giving my weekly RAK away to some lucky poster so be sure to leave a comment!  

Okay, this is a Halloween Card and Treat Bag I made using papers from K and Company along with stamps from Unity Stamp Co.

 

This second project is one I did for Say It With Letters and I really had a blast creating this! The letters are also covered with the same papers from K and Company.  The bat is covered with black flocking, which was truely fun to do.  I wish you could see how cool it looks in real life!

It was a real treat for me to actually get in some scrap time today, so I'm gonna continue my day by getting more of my scrap on!

Until next time, Take Care and Be Blessed!

I'm Feeling Inspired

I'm feeling so inspired today! This is the first weekend that I've had in a while that I've been able to cruise the web to check out what everybody else is doing. I've got to tell you that I am just so inspired by other artists and their incredible work! I mean, this hobby is jammed packed with so many incredibly talented and inspiring people, and I'm just all excited about it!  

Today I'm sharing a layout I did of my daughters and their friendship using the October kit from Scrap-tastic.  The card I made using stamps from Unity Stamp Co.'s kit of the month along with papers from Making Memories. I actually made it for a challenge over at 2Peas, but I was too late uploading it.

I hope your weekend was great and I'll meet you again here for Hip Hop Thursday! Take care and Be Blessed!
