♥ scrappy shares ♥

Good evening!  I wanted to share some cards that I have been working on with scraps on my desk, drawers, favorite scrap piles and scraps from the May Destination Unknown Kit over at Scraptastic Scrapbooking Kits

Happy Birthday Card

(inside reads: sweet pea)

 

  I used a tag from an old Crate Paper line, Pretty Party

yes, i still have a couple of these tags, they are some of my absolute faves and i haven't used all of them....yet

Yes, I did.

I used a chipboard piece from Cosmo Cricket's Garden Variety line (i know, i know, but seriously how cute are these peas?)

On my second card, I used scraps from the May Destination Unknown Kit and one of my album pages from October Afternoon Woodland Park line

 

Life is Good Card

 I cut the album page down to tag size and stitched and adhered to these cute papers from the Scraptastic May Destination Unknown Kit

And here is a couple of pics of the card I posted on the October Afternoon blog using the new Travel Girl line

And, how about another Christmas card?

♥ christmas gift card holders and a thankful heart ♥

good evening.  today is monday CARDS post on the jillibean soup blog and i shared a card using the new Pumpkin Chowder Soup line.  i am absolutely smitten with this line, it is deliciously and perfectly jillibean♥

a thankful heart is a happy heart card

isn't that sentiment just the sweetest?  i love this wonderful die-cut and wish i had 3 or 4 on my sheet, i am always creating "thank you" cards.

i decided to stitch a large heart so as to give the wonderful sentiment some punch, just love it!

i was also up today on the october afternoon blog with a new challenge:

create a project (card, layout, alterable, gift item) using the new sew fun banners in a unique and fun way.

these new products are just that,  "sew" fun and i loved playing with them.  to create with this fun, new product, you simply stitch a straight stitch just below the top of the banners you would like to use, in a straight line across the number of banners.  when finished, you simply lift up the first banner and tear out the stitched banner.  these could not be more fun or easy!

 and i chose to create my projects today using the new Make it Merry Sew Fun Banners.  I chose to layer my banners and create Christmas Gift Card Holders using my stitched banners.

I created a short tutorial to demonstrate just how easy it is to create one of these gift card holders using 2 1/2" x 3 1/2" gift enclosure envelopes.

and there's a tutorial on creating this gift card holder on the OA Blog today.  we hope you'll give this challenge a try.

hugs & so much love!
