Happy Anniversary PS!

Platinum Scraps is celebrating our one year anniversary together! I have learned so much from the designers over there and am too happy to be a part of a great team! Our challenge this week was to make our creations with an anniversary theme in mind. Of course, those PS artists went to town on their ideas.... I made a candle decoration.

This is relatively easy. I wrapped a Glade Oil candle with vellum & a printed transparency. I used dazzle stickers in the front. I layered them with pop up tape to give the 3d effect.

Please head over to my fam at Platinum Scraps and leave a comment on their beautiful projects. TFL!

Over at Platinum Scraps, the challenge this week was to use Bo Bunny's Gypsy paper in a layout. This is a simple layout with pictures the fam took at Christmas. Since I have two leaving the nest this year, I wanted to get pictures of us together one last time. Who knows when I'll be able to get them together again. The photo shoot was fun and very special to me......I can't wait to show off a few more of the pics to you! TFL...

To My Friend

Hello and Happy New Year! Any resolutions? Are you sticking to them? I didn't make any....there's no need! I'm pretty happy with how I'm living right now and I don't want to jump on the New Resolution band wagon without really having something in my life I want to change.....


So, here's another submission for this week's Platinum Scraps Challenge. I made this card using Bo Bunny's Gypsy paper - Saffron line. I tried my hand at watercolor markers. All the You Tube videos and tutorials on web make this kind of coloring fun and relaxing.....I'll probably do some more coloring to get the hang of it :-) TFL...

Christmas Cards & Stuff :-)

I got so caught up in trying to figure what kind of cards I would make this year but in the end, I didnt send out anything. Ugh! I just ran out of time. I really need to learn how to manage my time and STAY FOCUSED! I did a few cards that I plan to either hand out or add to their gifts.

Here's a card for my Pilates instructor

A card for my Zumba instructor

Note cards & pads for a few friends.

SST Christmas and Countdown to the New Year Blog Hop!

Wow! My 1st ever blog hop! This one was organized by Nubian & Stampin Dymonz from the Sistas Scrap Too Cricut Thread. The divas of over there came together and created a Christmas and Countdown to the New Year blog hop! And I'm happy to be a part of the fun. Here is my project.

Here is my submission for this week's Platinum Scraps Challenge. This is my Cocker Spaniel, Shadow. Every so often we give in to giving him a bath. I much rather take him to the groomer (less mess) but we do a better job and I think he rather us do it anyway. This isn't a great picture; I bought a new camera and I really don't like it....Maybe Santa will hook a sista up - I think I was a overall good girl this year :-) TFL...
