12 month scrapbook challenge

Christina as Creations with Christina is having a 12 month challenge to create a scrapbook layout each month. This is my submission for February.  My daughter and I took my grandson to Kiddieland about two years ago.  Kiddieland has since shut down and I thought I had better get this layout done LOL.  The title was cut on y Cricut but everything else is stickers from Jolee.  I didn't have had a cartridge with carnival or circus cuts.  Thanks for looking and happy scrapping!

All About Spring Challenge! - Cardztv

Mary at Cardztv has a challenge up right now to make anything "spring".  I've been wanting to make Post It! note covers for awhile now so I thought I would try it for this challenge.  I could not believe how extremely simple and quick this little craft was.  I followed the 10 step tutorial from Splitcoast Stampers and from start to finish (this includes going through my scraps to find paper) it took only about 15 minutes. I only made one because I didn't have any more Post It! notes LOL but I will be making a lot more of these to give out at the office for small birthday presents.  Thanks for looking and happy scrapping!

62 Followers!  thank you all so much.  Whatcha think?  Blog Candy at 100?  If I can get to 100 followers before my first blog hop on March 17th  I will do a give a-way.  Not sure what it will be right now, maybe some stamps? Some stickers?  What do you think it should be?  Leave me some ideas and ask your friends to follow me!

Thank you all so much, it has been so much fun keeping up the blog, getting comments and followers has really pushed me to do more challenges, more posts and more crafting in general.

Cricut Cardz Challenge #60

At the Cricut Cardz Challenge this week we need to make a masculine valentine card.  You may not think this is too masculine, but I saw the chick and thought of a t-shirt my 5 year old grandson wears and decided to make this card for him. The sentiment is on a wobble and because of the oversize heart it wobbles alot!...hope you like it, TFL and happy scrapping.

Valentine Treat Can

Challenge #16 Valentine's Day Project

Cristina at crafting with cristina is having a challenge on her blog to design something related to Valentine's Day, but it couldn't be a card.  I had this can, similiar to a very small paint can, for awhile and thought I would decorate it.  I can't tell you what kind of paper I used because it is all stuff that has been laying around my scrap room for awhile now.  I used the Xyron sticker maker to get the small hearts and cupids sticky and then glittered them.  The heart on the lid is placed on a Wobble.  TFL!
