Scrappy Mom's Sneak Peak--You're Golden


Hi Friends,

Here is another quick sneak for you using the new
Scrappy Mom's Sun Kissed set! This set is so summery and fun!

Mel and I went cart shopping yesterday and I was "dying" to use this bottle of suntan lotion to pair up with this sentiment. Once I watched the AI finale I put it to use.I am in love with the Pack Your Bags cartridge!

I hope you all have had a great time seeing all the "sneaks"! Have a wonderful Memorial Day!!

Terrific Tuesday Challenge-- Life's a Beach ENJOY!


Happy Tuesday!

It's another exciting Terrific Tuesday Challenge at Scrappy Mom's! We hope you will all join us in creating something that reminds you of summer or the beach! We are using Life's A Beach for this challenge.. since summer is HERE!! ( At least it is in Arizona)!

Today I made a shape card from Life's a Beach! I have been wanting to make this Pina Colada, or Pineapple shape card forever. I used my gypsy to weld the pieces and it wasn't the easiest thing ever but it is a SIMPLE concept for sure. It definitely makes me think of summer. I used the brand new Scrappy Mom's Sun Kissed stamps! I am sure loving these and hope to have at least a few more projects before the end of the week.

Make sure to take a peek at all of our designers to see what they have created for this challenge. I am sure it will be AMAZING, BEACHY and FUN!!

Have a super wonderful Week!!

Sun Kissed Sneak Peak #2-- Summer Lovin



Hi Friends!

I hope you are all enjoying the new Sun Kissed stamp set. They are just so much fun and it definitely feels like summer here in sunny Arizona!

Today I decided to make this adorable little project with the "Summer Lovin" sentiment. I am ADDICTED to Coca Cola..(Diet that is..) and I love how adorable these bottles are. I first spotted this idea at Angela Yosten's blog! She has the CUTEST ideas and is an amazing seamstress and designer. My teenage son is going into HIGH SCHOOL next year so I decided to make him this treat to start off the summer! I didn't want to make it too frilly but since he shares my love for Coke I thought he would enjoy it. I used gypsy wanderings for the tag and Nifty Fifties for the soda bottle. There are about 12 candy bars used in the construction of this! What a cute gift to give as a pick me up or a special occasion! Thank you to Angela for the inspiration.. you have to check out her blog. I "SEW" want to learn to make clothes and projects like hers one day!

Please join us at Scrappy Mom's this week for our Terrific Tuesday challenge and check back all week to see what we have all created using this new, wonderful set!

Thank you ALL for your lovely and sweet comments!

Happy Sunday!

Scrappy Mom's Sneak Peak Day One-- You make me Melt!!



Hi Friends!

With the warm weather approaching it is time to release our brand new Scrappy Mom's Sun Kissed stamps! We are so in love with this set and it makes us anticipate all those things summer brings! I LOVE SUMMER and I am SOOO looking forward to our big trip to NY next month!

I created a shape card with the Lettering Delights Summer Treats SVG cut. The Tag is from Tags. Boxes and More. All I could think of was Popsicles, and boy have we gone through them this last week in my house with all this "SICKNESS" hanging over us. I just love this sentiment and had so much fun making this card! It represents all things YUMMY and SWEET..

We hope you will join us within the next week to see all our our projects featuring this brand new set. I just know that our design team has done an outstanding job with this set and it will be lots of fun to see all the great ideas!

Thank you so much for stopping by and Happy Summer!!!

Please join us for a chance to win the Scrappy Mom's Happily Ever After Set!!

I made this little princess with the cake card today!! My daughter's BFF just turned seven so I now have a card to send her( late of course)!!!

For the KIDDOS Hop--Altered Clip Board


Hi Everyone!

Welcome to the Kiddo's Hop Hosted by Laura at Makin Pretty Things!! Thank you Laura for sponsoring two AMAZING hops...I am still not 100%, after spending an Entire WEEK sick... but I had to make a little project to contribute.

You have probably just came from the sooo crafty Corri's blog. I bet you just loved her project.. if you are lost here is the lineup:

Laura
Bonnie
Mel
Nicolette
Jenn
Madison
Jessica
Anita
Corri
Tammy(ME)
Stacey
Linda
Haidee
Martha
Sigrid
Minta
Jennifer A.
Alina
Lauren

So for today's project I altered a little clipboard, matching pen and memo pad. I plan on making one of these for each of my children so that they can have their own personal " TO DO" lists.. Once my magnetic board is finished I will put both of them on the hook. I find I get so much more done if the list is there to hold me accountable. I just used modge podge to glue the paper down. Twine to hold the pen and Plantin School Book for the letters. The letters are not centered so well but I am a bit fussy these days. In this case I will be the one filling out Hannah's list so it will help me too.

Now for some blog candy... I will be giving away a Scrappy Mom's Kid's Inc set to one lucky winner. All you have to do is leave me a comment and you will be entered to win. Please leave me a way in which I can get in touch with you as well. Now Laura will also be having a giveaway over at her BLOG so make sure to go through the lineup and leave a comment on EVERY ONE'S projects and she will be picking one of you lucky winners....

Now don't forget to pick up with the ever talented Stacey!

Thank you all for joining us and have a wonderful week... see you back again later in the week.
