Just my Luck

Scrapbook inspiration for today:
Reach for the stars

OK, I know you have seen this layout before. Just a few days ago actually, but I am posting it again. This is the layout that I made for last weeks HMITM and I won. I am the weekly wow and my layout will go into the HAITA drawing for a prize at the end of the month. I am so happy. So my plan for tomorrow is to work on the HMITM for this week: Something old is new again. I have an idea for something, but I am not sure if it will work.
And... today I found out that I won a prize from another scrapbooking site. They will be mailing me a prize. I have no idea what it is but I am excited about it.
And... Fred bought me a Bind it All. It is used and it comes with some wires so I will be able to use it as soon as it gets here. I am so excited. He is so sweet. This has been a really good day. Thank you all for visiting, and I will be sure to post a new lo tomorrow.
Outside of scrapbooking, this has been a great week. Wednesday Fred and I celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary. We had a nice day. Fred found a Cartier wedding ring with his metal detector, Alexx took us out to dinner, and we shopped a little at the mall. Thursday we didn't do much of anything which was good. Today I was hanging out with Benjamin. We went to the playground with Jake and Mikey so that was fun for Ben. He loves to play with the boys because they smother him with attention. Tomorrow should be another relaxing day because the only thing planned so far is Cassie's dance for three hours. We can sleep in...

Counterfeit Kit May Blog Hop

Hi. If you are here for the Counterfeit Kit Challenge Blog Hop, welcome. If you stumbled onto my blog and would like to start at the beginning or you are looking for the complete list of blogs you can find it here . Our challenge was to get inspiration from our favorite scrapbook company and their blog. I have quite a few favorite companies, but for the challenge I chose Jillibean Soup . They have so many fun layouts on their blog and I found this layout by Julie Bonner and thought it was great. For my layout I switched the hearts for shamrocks. I had this adorable picture of my grandson from St. Paddy's Day and I was happy to find a cute layout idea. I used my Cricut to cut the shamrocks with the Paper Doll Dress Up cartridge. I used a touch of adhesive on the top of each shamrock to hold it in place while I was sewing but none near the center because I didn't want the needle to be sticky. I followed the lines of the ledger paper to keep the sewing straight. The layout went

June Counterfeit Kit

I was so excited to see the inspiration kit for June at the Counterfeit Kit Challenge blog. Burlap and Butterflies put together the great kit in this picture. I really liked all of the pink, orange, blue and green in the original kit so I tried to stick with that. As my main paper and color reference I chose an old sheet of BG that I have had for years. I love the elephants and the colors were just right. I ended up with fifteen patterned papers. My embellishments... What can I say, I went overboard. I couldn't help it. I have all of these great Sassafras goodies from my mystery box so I needed to add some to my kit. I have a few things in here from last month, and a few things that I have had for a long time. I have some buttons, ribbon, and bling mixed in with some tab stickers, chipboard, and journal spots. I made the summer add on and I managed to only use four papers! And only a few little embellishments. See, I have a little self control... But then it ended. I tried to pic

Welcome to the November Blog Hop. If you came here from Jemma's blog you are in the right place. If you came from anyplace else and would like to hop along with us, you can start at the Counterfeit Kit Challenge blog.  This month our sponsor is Scraptastic Club . Our challenge was to use our kit to make a home decor item. I used my kit (and one additional patterned paper and ribbon) to make this fun wall hanging for my grandson's playroom. I was inspired by this fall wall hanging on Pinterest. My chipboard alpha blocks are eight inch squares. I bought the whole set last week at Ross for $3.99. Thanks for looking. The next stop on the hop is Julie Ann , I am sure she has something beautiful to show you. If you get lost along the way the hop list is below.
