Love You Girl - CSI #224

I haven't done a challenge in a long time. I seen the challenge over at CSI: Color, Stories, Inspiration and thought about my little fur baby.  The layout didn't really come out the way I had planned but I guess not everything works out the way you want them to.  I still had fun! 

Here is the crime scene

And here is my take on the scene

I used all the required colors of gray taupe, cherry red, white, seafoam green, and ballerina slipper pink. For the evidence I choose plain cardstock, animal (in the picture...lol), cactus/other plant, arrows, triangles, enamel dots and die cuts.

I chose to use the February prompt of Your pet or another animal. How does spending time with your pet make you feel?

My journaling reads:

I love this little girl! She brings me such joy and lots of unconditional love. When I'm away I can't wait to get home. 

Hi all of my scrappy friends!

The other day I got an email from Freckled Fawn about a surprise birthday mystery box. It was a box full of goodies worth at least $175 for only $50.  This is what I got...SO CUTE!

Sorry but I kept saying Lawn Fawn instead of Freckled Fawn.  I guess I was in such a hurry to do the video before I left for my business meeting that I didn't realize that I was saying the wrong company. 

So if you ever thought of getting a surprise mystery box...go for it!

Happy Scrapping!

Christmas Tree Shaker Page

Here is a short video on how I made a Christmas Tree shaker page for my December Daily. I'm still getting used to actually doing videos and I just explained how I did it and not how I did it in real time. I did this one as a dry run for the 2nd one that I did for a December Daily swap I participated in. Hope you enjoy!

Awesome Christmas Trees!

I went home for the holidays and was going around town and the city hall has a program where they provide artificial trees with lights around the city hall building and people and organizations can sponsor a tree and decorate it.  It was fun to walk around the building and look at all the trees. There was this one tree that as soon as I seen it I was laughing. It was so cute you just couldn't help but smile. A perfect December Daily story!

December Daily Page Swap

Hi everyone! I hope you are having a beautiful day like I am. Since I've been gone a lot lately I haven't spent much time with my fur babies so I've been pampering them today. Gave them baths, took them to Petco to have their nails trimmed and bought them some treats. Now they are snuggled up on the couch. But enough about my fur babies and on to something scrappy. I joined a "Secret Santa" page swap over on the December Daily Inspiration Group on Facebook. We gave the moderator what colors we were using for our upcoming December Daily and the page size and we were matched up Secret Santa style. So no one knows who is doing pages for each other. It is a surprise when you get it. So I got mine at the beginning of this week for the United Kingdom! It is so cute and she sent me little goodies to go along with it. I got mine out to my pal today so I sure hope she likes it. Since I've been working so hard because of Hurricane Matthew I wasn't able to get mine in the mail as quickly as I had hoped but I made the deadline so I also sent lots of goodies to my secret pal.

Here is what I received from Caroline in the UK and it so stinkin' cute:

And this is what I sent out to Samantha who is also in the UK:

Hope you have enjoyed seeing the swap and if you do a December Daily or have ever thought about doing one then check out the Facebook group. It's a lot of fun and there is lots of inspiration. Have fun my scrappy friends!

Long time no post and thankful cards

Sorry that it has been quite a while since I have posted. Life sometimes keeps us busy doing things and we don't get to always do the things we would like to do. Now I am trying to get back into the swing of things. With the holidays quickly approaching I have been getting ready and part of getting ready is doing my #30daysofthankful and my #decemberdaily. Since we are in the midst of November and I am practicing my gratitude each day I would like to share some gratitude/thankful cards with you that I found on "Simple As That"  blog by Rebecca Cooper. There is also a lot of other goodies including a photo tips, recipes, and a 2017 calendar to help you get started for next year. 

I have also shared a video of some great finds at the Target Dollar Spot. I hope I can find the time to share with you my pages or at least a walk through of my albums. Keeping my fingers crossed. :-)

Take care my scrappy friends and have fun with the freebies from "Simple As That."
