Are ya feelin' LUCKY?I wi

Hey there everyone!

It's been crazy busy around here lately but really mostly with just daily life stuff - nothing super exciting! I had a couple of weeks of Jury Duty, our family battled a little sickness (and won!), and tennis season is now fully upon us!

So I have not even had any down time to play around and scrap... but I DO have some fun for

your Digi-Scrappers out there... check out this super fun lucky Collab Kit available over at Stuff to Scrap:

Look at all these Embellies:

and Papers, and Quick Pages, Oh My:

and to help spread a little luck - there is a Sale NOW through tomorrow:

My 'little one' is not so little anymore and we don't have any real solid St Pattys Day traditions... but I DID manage to get a few pictures of her yesterday at her first Varsity tennis match... so I will be scrapping and showing some LOs using this fun kit soon!

What did you all do yesterday!? Anything fun? Share your traditions and if you grab this kit, I'd love to see your work!

Scrap Happy!

These are just a few samples of the BAK for March!

Oh My:

Well - the Oh My section is simply an update... life has been crazy the past few weeks - good, bu crazy! We are in the midst of the first week of Spring Sports this week - despite the snow... which makes the Tennis Try Outs extremely tricky! Not to mention that my girlie is going to State with DECA the second half of this week and will miss the final two days of try outs - we are just praying for favor (and sunshine!)... and we know that this is just the beginning! We did manage to head out of town last weekend to Portland for a fun little get away before the madness officially began! It was a great wknd away... full of friends, family, laughter, and good times!

I came home and immediately got extremely sick for a good 24 hours... feeling human again and was just OH SO VERY THANKFUL that I did not end up having to report for Jury Duty yesterday or today... I am in the midst of a 2 week session so I get to call in every day to find out if I have to report in the morning! It is less of a hassle now that the kiddo is older but it's still a lot of sitting and waiting and I am not good at doing either one of those things for too long!

I haven't managed to work on much - but did do these two LOs - when I was really really REALLY longing for nicer weather! I made these with The Scrappy Kat's collab kit called "Forest Friends" via Stuff to Scrap!

I actually have a few cards I have to make this week, as well as new pictures to play with, so depending on Jury Duty - I hope to have some new stuff to post soon!

Hope you are all happy creating and living life!

Spark On!

Tweet Sweets Kit Sampler

Here are some Digi-Valentine's Cards I made for friends

using my new "Tweet Sweets" Digital Kit...

I will be offering a portion of this kit for free soon - so check back

and let me know what you think!

On a different note - we celebrated Valentine's Day last night as a family again!

We have a gorgeous 15 year old girl - who went to school in all black! LOL! She is (mostly) happily single and was surprised to find a LOT of kids featured in all black yesterday! We started including her (and other single friends) in our celebration when she was a preteen. We just felt it was very important to use the 'holiday' as a chance to let her know that while the day is all about celebrating Love - it doesn't have to be only a Romantic Love!

I took her to get a Manicure...

...and we also bought some roses for her and her friends 'from Jesus'...

Then last night, I set the table near our big picture window overlooking the city...

we make it fancy, get take out from our favorite restaurant,

take communion together, and just relax and enjoy the evening together!

It is really nice and I am SO glad that we started this when she was younger...

we didn't get all dressed up this year, thus the missing photo's of PEOPLE - LOL!

We had actually just got done with our P90X workout when Dave came home with dinner

- but the food was all dressed up and pretty!

Hope you all had a Great Day filled with all kinds of Love!

Scrap Happy!

Valentine's Day Fun

OK - I have been doing a bit of Hands On crafting... love to go back and forth from old school to digi! I found these ADORABLE little Heart Ornaments at JoAnns and remembered I had paper to match already - so my plan fell in place and I worked up these super cute

(if I DO say so myself) Valentine's Day cards & a Bookmark too...

What are YOU doing crafty for Valentine's Day? I miss the days of making cards & goodies for my daughters' classroom... now we have a teenager - a single teenager & I am reminded of how God told me years ago to let her know that Valentine's Day is about Love - all kinds... so we'll continue our family tradition of spending it together - loving each other & acknowledging the Lover of our souls! I also plan on sending a single rose to her & a handful of her close friends at school on Monday - with a card that says something like,

"So thankful you are Mine! Happy Valentine's Day! ~Jesus"

Her girlfriends are all single & are not looking forward to Valentine's Day this year - but I want them to remember that they are loved & have someone Who loves them more than they realize!

Scrap Happy - & share the Love, peeps!

New BAK by The Scrappy Kat

Hey all...

I know I am among the minority of America who is NOT getting slammed by this crazy winter storm! Still - a cup of coffee and a little digi scrapping is calling my name - making me wish for a snow day (which is SO not like me!) but with the sun shining and my list of things to do way

longer than my notepad - I just don't have any crafting time today!

But I wanted to post this super cute new Build A Kit "Adore" by The Scrappy Kat that is now available in her Stuff To Scrap store. I am honored to now be part of her Creative Team and so I got to play with this kit a little earlier... here is my first layout:

I hope to post a couple more later this week!

Here is the link to The Scrappy Kat store at Stuff To Scrap... so you can purchase the kit and make your own super cute LOs - all in time for Valentine's Day!

OK - here is one more from todays Speed Scrap at Stuff to Scrap!

Scrap Happy!

A Cute little Flipbook out of Alphabet Soup!

I decided yesterday that I had PLENTY of "left overs" from the Baby Shower Invitations I made out of the Alphabet Soup line so I made a card, and a little Flipbook to give to the Mommy-to-be as a gift... for whatever reason, I was not thrilled with the invitations I made (mostly because I felt like the papers are more of a toddler/little boy feel and not a baby - but that was all I had available to me at the time.) Anyway - I LOVE this little flipbook! I just hope the Mommy (who is a new scrapper) will actually USE it and put some pictures of the baby in it and show it off!

Here is a little peak:

I also have had the privilege and honor of being selected to be a part of The Scrappy Kats Creative Team. Her kits are super cute and I can't wait to be able to share them with you all! Check back often for samples, freebies, and more! You can check her out here:

Lastly - I have been dabbling a bit in Digital Designing again myself and will have a Valentine Kit to post soon... I will have a complete kit in my etsy store soon - but will list a sampling and give away a smaller Freebie kit soon - so check back for that as well! Here's a little preview of that kit:

Like I said - I am just learning my way around this - but Oh My - how fun!!!
Scrap Happy!
