I won! I won! I won!

I'm a dedicated reader to Nichole Heady's Blog.

A little over a week ago she posted some free digi card kits on Paper crafts magazine website, and I decided to give the Spiral Bouquet a try. Did I mention that they are FREE!!

I posted my card in the online gallery, but didn't expect it to win but here's my card that won! I'm so excited! I guess I win both releases from today and the Spiral Bouquet set that will be released in November! WOW!

My card is also going to be posted on Nichole's Blog today sometime! SO check there later today as it should be there.

A Productive Morning

I have a group of friends that get together (after summer vacation) and scrapbook (or socialize, whatever you call it :) ) And today was our first day to get together since last spring! It was a much needed break from our past few weeks. We usually plan to get together once a week, but everyone is getting so busy, it is getting hard to get us all together at once, but we'll try anyway.

This morning I was able to make these 4 pages, although they're not totally complete, I'm glad I got this far!

The Great Pumpkin Search

Every year my parents grow a few pumpkins in the field and then in October they have all of the grandkids come over. We have a hayride, pick pumpkins, eat, play, and have so much fun!

This year there was a threat of rain (but didn't, thankfully) so we were still able to have the hayride, but they had already picked the pumpkins.

At the last minute my husband decided to hide the pumpkins in the hayfield and then we drove around with the hay wagon for the kids to find them. It was a lot of fun!

File Folder Album

Ever since Taylor made one of these and also posted the instructions here, I've been dying to make one! I have no idea what I'm going to do with it, but isn't it pretty?

I used a bunch of Daisy D's papers and die cuts (I've had for a LONG time) and also some wide floral ribbon from some flowers I got last week. Other than that I used some SU stuff. You know.....sometimes it's really fun to work with the stuff in the back of my stash!

Recipe:
Paper: Daisy D's, File folder, Close to Cocoa, Ruby Red, VV
Ink: Close to Cocoa: LOTS of sponging
Accessories: lots of ribbon, rhinestone brads

Tagged-The Name Game

I've been taged twice...by Abi, and Rhonda (didn't get her blog name-Rhonda if you want to, just let me know your blog, thanks!)

The NAME GAME. The name of the game is to list one fact that is somehow relevant to your life, for each letter of your middle name. If you don't have a middle name, use the name you would have liked to have had. When you are tagged you need to write your own blog post containing you middle name and game facts. At the end of your blog post, you need to choose one person for each letter of your middle name to tag. Don't forget to leave them a comment telling them they're tagged and to read your blog.

J-Juice: Gotta have my tall glass of OJ in the morning-no "Joe" for me!

E- Expecting: I'm having a baby if you haven't guessed...Supposed to be a girl, due December 20th.

A- Aches & Pains: I'm having a lot of trouble with my pelvis, hopefully it will go away after baby comes.

N- New Camera: Just got my new camera today, now I can send in my SLR to get cleaned!

Going pink

What do you think of my new banner for October? Angel reminded me that it's Breast Cancer awareness month, and I just got around to making my banner for support.

Here's a couple links to more cards from the 27 sketches:

Angel's card and another card

SC 144

Since I've been done with my sketches for almost a week now, I've gotten a little break from blogging (not that I don't like blogging...I just needed a breather!!) And I don't know how many times I've said I'm going to do SCS challenges again...I'm terrible at commitments! But I had some extra time this morning and had the urge to make a card and went here for today's Sketch challenge.

My card is made from the Just Like You (RMHC Set) and Flowers For You DS papers. I didn't have any purple ribbon to match the Lovely Lilac flowers in the paper, so I cut some white taffeta ribbon and used my Lovely Lilac marker to dye it. That works much better than using the inkpad to dye it. It seems like it gets too dark whenever I try to dye ribbon with the inkpad.

I cut out my butterfly and added some glitter to it for some sparkle and put a dimensional on it so it would stand out some.

Recipe:
Stamps: Just Like You
Paper: Tempting Turquoise, Regal Rose, Certainly Celery, WW, Flowers for You DP
Ink: Tempting Turquoise, Regal Rose, Certainly Celery, Lovely Lilac Markers
Accessories: WW Taffeta Ribbon, Dazzling Diamonds, Dimenstionals.

Thanks for stopping by!!
