Coffee, anyone?

I do not drink coffee for religious reasons, but I love the smell and have several family members and friends who drink it. I made this card for one of those friends - I hope she likes it. :)

I totally {heart} the Moody girls from Paper Makeup Stamps, they are so fun and fabulous to color. And this one goes perfect with that sentiment from Caffeine Trip, one of the sets I helped design. :)

I am off to California tomorrow to visit my friend Tangii for the weekend - I am so excited! I'll be back on Tuesday, but have my posts already scheduled for Monday and Tuesday and will have access to the internet so I'll choose my winners like I said I would. Have a great weekend!!

Happy Holidays!

Sparkle's challenge for us this week was an inspiration challenge, based on this photo:

I couldn't get past the tree, haha. And since I only own 2 stamps that have a Christmas tree (I really should rectify this problem) this is what I came up with:

You can visit her current challenge here and see what everyone else has done. Thanks for stopping by!

A late Valentine's Card

So I was going through my cards and found one from Valentine's Day that I forgot to post, haha. So here's a little love for you:

I added a little love rub-on to the right side of the image on the checked paper afterward because it didn't look complete. :) Have a great Wednesday everyone!

Two great giveaways!

I'm all about sharing the love, and this week I'm sharing it {twice}! If you didn't read my Weekly Scrapbook Challenge yesterday, scroll down to the next post to find out how you can win this brand new border punch from Stampin' up!

But if you were one of my readers eyeballing this tin filled with 12 of my {favorite} dessert recipes, the hour has come!

5 more followers means it's time to give one away!! I think I'll start doing this on a regular basis... every time I get 5 new followers I'll have a giveaway. Sound good? Then tell your friends, bwahahahaha!!! ;)

So, in order to be entered to win one of these handcrafted tins (and learn some of my secret recipes, hehehe) all you have to do is leave a comment on this post telling me one of your favorite desserts. I'll keep it open for one week and draw a winner next Monday night and will announce who it is on Tuesday's post.

Tomorrow it's back to my regularly scheduled creations! See ya then-

Weekly Scrapbook Challenge #6 - with a Giveaway!

This week I have a sketch challenge for you! Since I'm heading back to clean and simple, that's what the sketch is. But feel free to use it as a springboard for more elaborate pages. :)

You can use a flower or collection of embellies instead of the 2 eyelet marks seen on the sketch, or a few small photos instead of one big one - really anything you want! Here is my sample:

And with a nod to Sparkle, I'm going to start offering up a {fabulous} crafty prize along with the first challenge of each month. Since no one has been participating, I'm hoping this incentive might nudge some to take the leap. ;)

Up for grabs this week is a brand new border punch from Stampin' Up!

You may recognize the punch because I've been using mine a lot lately - I love it! I used this border punch in conjunction with the matching corner punch on this card if you want to see one example of how I've used it.

To be included in the drawing for this exclusive punch, all you have to do is make a scrapbook page (traditional or digital) this week and link it up to this post. If you use the sketch, I'll even give you two entries for your layout - woohoo! So pull out those photos and get busy recording those memories. :) Layouts must be linked up by Sunday night, and I will draw the winner first thing Monday morning and announce he/she along with next week's challenge.

Happy scrapping!

p.s. I'm at 24 followers now... just one more and I'll offer a giveaway for this altered tin recipe collection!
