Happy National Scrapbooking Day!

Hello -

I hope everyone is having a great Saturday.  We had some thunder storms this morning but now the sun is shinning.  Today I am participating in Robyn's National Scrapbooking Day challenges.  She and her design team have put together a lot of great projects so far.  It is hard to keep up but I am doing my best to stay up.  I was about an hour late to the start but it is not a requirement to keep up to the minute.  I just thought it would be fun and more of a challenge to see if I could.  This post will have her first 3 challenges.

Challenge #1 - Anything Cupcake

 Supplies: Stamp (My Pink Stamper), Ink & Cardstock (CTMH), Border Punch (Martha Stewart Crafts), Stickles (Ranger), Pattern Paper & Dimensionals (Stampin Up!), Cricut & Sweet Treats cartridge (Provo Craft).

Challenge #2 - Use Kraft Cardstock

Supplies: Cardstock (Stampin Up!, Bazzil & CTMH), Pattern Paper & Dimensionals (Stampin Up!), Ink (CTMH), Stamp (My Pink Stamper), Cricut & April Showers cartridge (Provo Craft), Gel Pen (Unibal Signo).

Challenge #3 - Breast Cancer Theme

Supplies: Cardstock & Ink (CTMH), Stickles (Ranger), Stamps (My Pink Stamper), Cricut, Paisley & Storybook cartridges (Provo Craft), Dimensionals (Stampin Up!).

I hope everyone else decides to join in the fun also.  Comments and followers are welcome!  Thanks for looking.

Thank You Card

First I want to welcome all of my new followers.  It warms my heart that you have chosen to follow my blog and I love all your comments.  It is such a great motivation.  At this time in my life I could use all the motivation I can get!  Also spring is here and my flowers Easter Lily's are blooming.  Oh so pretty.  I just love this time of year.

Toady's card is pretty simple but I just love this paper from Die Cuts with a View.  It is from their Doodling Around stack that has been out for a while but it is still one of my favorites.  I picked mine up at Jo Ann's not too long ago.  The tree is from the seasonal April Showers cartridge.  The layers on this cartridge are so easy but the images are so cute.  It is one my newest and now my one of my favorite cartridges.  The stamps are from The Stamps of Life's 'Thanks2You' set.

Supplies: CS (Stampin Up!), Pattern Paper (DCWV), Stamps (The Stamps of Life), Ink (CTMH), Cricut, April Showers cartridge (Provo Craft).

Thank you for viewing and comments are always appreciated.  Be sure to become a follower too!  ;)



Pinkalicious Blog Hop

Tonight's layout is to participate in Robyn's (aka My Pink Stamper) blog hop.  I was ready and waiting for this one.  Initially she posted we needed to do a scrapbook layout so I got to work on that using the new April Showers seasonal cartridge.  Well I just popped over to her site before typing this up and she had posted the wrong challenge!  Ahhh but all is well because it was changed to a spring themed project which just happened to be the focus of my layout!!  :)  I hope you enjoy and I can't wait to see what everyone else makes.

Supplies: Cardstock (American Crafts), Pattern Paper (Stampin Up!), Stickles (Ranger), Cricut, April Showers cartridge (Provo Craft).
