Our family photo Christmas card for 2013!  I'm usually not this fast scrapping photos.  LOL
The papers are Fancy Pants and Reminisce.  The transparency is from Fancy Pants - love how these two companies blended together on this one.  I added a lot of Stickles on the snowflakes, stars, and swirls.    I used sketch 59 from My Scraps and More sketch blog.  The photo was taken at my nephew's August wedding.

Enjoy your day

Melissia's birthday, May 1, 1984.  Celebrating with her class at Longfellow school in Sioux Falls, SD.   Used sketch number 53 at My Scraps & More Sketch Blog. 

Spider web cake

I signed up to take a Halloween dessert to the Thornebrooke Elementary School staff and teacher's luncheon.  The PTO does this once a month to support the staff.   We can't take homemade goodies to feed the students, but teachers are another story.  I made a spice cake with grated apples, chopped pecans and raisins - that makes it healthier, right?   The frosting is a cooked dark brown sugar with a little orange food coloring.  The web was added with the tube gel and the spiders are peanut M&M's.

Thanks for stopping by.

"My Scraps & More" is hosting a crop, and they have the best crops around.  I plan on being there - hope you will join me!

The Potpourri challenge at Scrap 'N Chat is to scrap a Polaroid photo.  I'm not positive this is a Polaroid, but it reminds me of one.  I love how this layout turned out.  Papers are from Bo Bunny. 

Happy Birthday

I LOVE using up scraps.  This time it's all about using up those small pieces of ribbon.  I punched a large flower from the cardstock.  The removed punched piece became my base for the ribbon strips.  Attach this to your background paper using popdots to give the ribbon flowers a bit of room.  Next time, I think I'd try this on green so the flowers kind of blend in a bit more.  Or maybe even do my star punch with a variety of yellow ribbons.........the possibilities are endless. 

Please join us for the card challenge at Scrap 'N Chat.

birthday girl

I used a sketch from My Sketch World.

For my challenge on Scrap 'N Chat I challenge you to use one of your very small stamps.  I stamped on a very subtle pp then punched it out with the flower punch.  Added a flower sticker that would be kind of lost all by it's self for the center of the flower which fit perfectly inside the small circle stamp.
