THANK YOU Frosted Designs & Artful Delight!!!

Monday is getting brighter and brighter by the minute!!  I didn't sleep worth diddly last night... had to deal with a longer than usual furnace guy this morning... my son "might" be getting another "bug"... and then... I just saw that I WON over at Frosted Designs for sketch 27!!  Yay!!  I am very excited! 

I won the November Kit from Leanne with Artful Delight.  I have the October kit and I have sooo much left still.  You can see a layout I created using that kit HERE.

Happy Birthday, Some Fun Winning News & Future Challenge Blog...

Just some random things that I want to acknowledge with all of you today!!  :-) 

Today is my Hubby's Birthday!!  I don't have a card to share with you.. .because I didn't make one.  Isn't that terrible??  Part of his gift is something handmade... so that will make up for it.  So HAPPY BIRTHDAY "B" !!!!  It's just another Candle on the Cake! 

Artful Delight Card/Scrapbook Kits

The 2nd thing... after just an "OK" day for me yesterday... I was paroozing the blogosphere and saw that I WON this!!!  I entered my "Infinity" layout over at Frosted Designs - Sketch 23 and I ended up winning this fabulous scrapbook Kit.  I will be making some layouts with all of this soon to share.  You can visit Frosted Designs by clicking on the above link or I have added their badge to my right side-bar.

Leanne with Artful Delight has set up a monthly scrapbook or card making kit for YOU to purchase if you should so desire.  It looks like ALOT of fun goodies.  Go check them out!!  You can buy month to month of sign up for 3 or 6 month subscriptions for a tad lower of a price. 

And the 3rd thing to share with you... My friend Michele K. from Michele Hearts Paper has been diligently working on a new Challenge Blog.  She asked me to partake with her.  How could I refuse??  Stay tuned... the kinks are being working on and she/us will be puting out a call for a Design Team.  In the mean time... check out Michele's blog... she is a fabulous card crafter!  

Have a wonderful day... and thanks for stopping by!! 

Flower Girl/Ring Bearer - 12 x 12 Double Scrap Layout

Wow... 2nd post for today!!  When it's been snowing outside all day and the kids are still getting over sicknesses... we have been playing pictionary, building lego cities... and of course some more scrappy time for me.  :-) (And laundry... oh fun.)

Our kiddos were delighted to be The Flower girl and Ring Bearer at our Niece's wedding in August of 2009.  They were 6 and 3 at the time and were oh so cute and did oh so PERFECT.  Of course as their Parents... we are a little biased. 
I am entering this layout at the Lasting Memories Challenge # 26 where you had to "Reduce, reuse and recycle."  Well... I am REDUCING my scrap stash by using an old, retired Stampin' Up Simply Scrappin' kit... and RECYCLING our old Christmas Family photo in the bottom left picture.  There is only about an hour left to enter the challenge... but check them out during this coming week for their next challenge.  I'm just happy to get my photos on paper and in books.
Thanks so much for looking!!  Enjoy!!
