My Pink Designer Showcase - a layout???

Welp, I am continuing down my road of attempting to scrapbook... I chose to do a layout for this My Pink Designer Showcase - use more than one stamp! Here it is! 

This is from when my husband and I went to Paris. Before we went into Notre Dame, we just sat outside of it and marveled at all of the detail and the people and the gorgeous day. Then we went inside and took a lot more pictures, lit a camera for a few people and prayed for them (even though I'm just plain Christian and not Catholic but I think it is still okay!)


I based this layout on this month's sketch from Artful Delight! 


I used four My Pink Stamper Stamps for the journaling from three different sets.





Recipe:


Now hop on over to My Pink Stamper's blog to see what the rest of the girls created for your viewing pleasure! 

Don't forget I have a big giveaway later this week! Tomorrow I will be back with a clean and simple card for my Shop Pumpkin Spice post!

A best friend is always there...

Happy Valentine's Day!!!

I made this with the January kit from Pumpkin Spice (now sold out, but you can check out the other kits!)

This was actually my favorite of the cards I have made recently and it photographed the worst! :( Oh well. I cut the doily and turned it into a pinwheel. The hearts are stamps. :) I hope you like it! :)

I Love Spending Every Day With You

Whew! I definitely owe you some inspiration! I put family first this Thanksgiving and had a lovely time visiting with both my husband's parents (my co-parents as I like to call them), my parents, my grandmother, two of my cousins, and Peter (Hans' brother). We had such a lovely time!

Well you are going to get TWO cards today and one tomorrow and the next day! I'm re-vamping! :)

I made this for the Burlap and Buttercups Challenge of Yellow and Grey! All of the supplies with the exception of the ribbon and roses came from their November kit! It hasn't sold out yet so if you like it, you can find it HERE. :)

I also made this for the Cricut Circle Challenge of store-bought flowers. :)

Fall Colors

WOO HOO! Imaginisce November Sketch Challenge time!!! 



Recipe:

I based this on the November Sketch for Imaginisce! I LOVE this sketch! I worked in all of the layers, scalloped side, ribbon (behind sentiment), journaling (sentiment), and the stars are the pumpkins which I squished together. I deleted all of the picture boxes for obvious reasons. 


I hope you play along with us this month for the chance to win BIG! The prize pack is always valued at around $75! That's a LOT of Imaginisce! Just use 75% Imaginisce in your creation and make it great because we all get to judge it! :) We love creative ideas!

Holly Jolly

HELLO!!! It may seem like I have TOTALLY fallen off the face of the planet, but the last week has looked like this: We made the decision last Monday to rent out our house to some AWESOME people. We had been considering this anyway since you know the size of a house I live in (450 square feet) so the timing was just a little moved up. They needed to be in by the following Monday (this past Monday). So we talked about it Monday night, agreed on a rental price Tuesday, and signed the lease on Wednesday night. We packed up and moved out in 5 days flat! It was insanity.

On top of that I got selected for Jury Duty (of course!) AND I got picked for a criminal trial. Luckily it only lasted 48 hours and it was a hung jury. But it definitely made the crunch time a little more crunched. 

After a busy weekend and moving everything into a second storage unit, we packed up our two cars an headed down to Monterey (where I am now) to hang out with my parents while we figure out what we are going to do next. I can't share what's going on with my husband's work yet, but let's just say that our options are international - which could be a fun adventure! 

I must admit, I really enjoy routine and "normalcy" and nesting in my home so I feel a bit lost, but I also feel excited about the adventure ahead and can't wait to see where it takes us!

Now, onto my project.... :) 

I made this for my Pumpkin Spice post for this week! 


I also made this for the Cricut Circle Blog Challenge: Monochromatic and use one of our Circle Exclusive Cartridges. There is the TINIEST green line in the striped pattern in the background paper for the tree, but I hope it doesn't count! I was working hard with this challenge to make "monochromatic" not look monochromatic. I wanted to show how you could still make it more fun. And since neutrals don't count, I incorporated a lot of them in! 

I took this pic on the wood pile outside of my mom's house. I helped cut and stack all of that wood! :)
