Love to Scrap Challenge Blog - Anything Goes

Hey, hey - great to see you, I'm glad you popped in!

At Love to Scrap, we're always about 'Anything Goes'; that means you never know what I'm going to share! 😁

This time, I'm sharing my mom's Mother's Day card - talk about mixed media and ALL THE BULK, but I think it's pretty - pretty in pink!

The main panel is die cut with this Pinkfresh braided die; I added pink to opposite corners. I added a postage die cut from The Greetery of both Raspberry Fizz pattern paper and polka dot vellum - btw, anyone know where I can find more of the polka dot vellum? Hit me up, if you know!!

I stamped, embossed and die cut the envelope and Pretty Postmarks from The Greetery, the flowers from Pinkfresh were stamped, embossed, and stenciled. 

I finished the card off with a small heart, mom stamped tag, and then lots of various pink seam binding from my favorite supplier, My Scrap Cabin. Oh yes, and some beautiful pink sequins!

Thanks for stopping by; I hope you find some inspiration to join us at Love to Scrap! We enjoy seeing your creations!

Color Me Crazy - and yep...I went crazy!

Hi friends! It's another fun coloring creation for Colour Crazy Challenge! For this challenge, I'm using the sweet Purple Balloon from Ching-Chou Kuih.

But boy, do I have a doozie to share with you! I knew I wanted to color this dress in rainbow colors - did that, loved it! Then I did the hair, loved it! Then the eyes and, 😖 THAT'S where it all went wrong. I tried a few things to fix it, but couldn't; however, I still wanted to share the coloring with you, because regardless that it was an ultimate fail, I was proud of the rainbow dress. 😉

Hope you join us at Colour Crazy Challenge, we always love seeing your creations!

See you again soon!

Sharing Love - Valentine's Day Blog Hop

It's a Valentine's Day Blog Hop with TONS of inspiration; hope you'll check out all the amazing creations!

BUT before we get to the creation; I WILL have a prize (or maybe two), just didn't have time to photograph before leaving on V-A-C-A-T-I-O-N!! Whoop, whoop - leave a comment and tell me the best gift you have given or received for Valentine's Day for your chance to win!

I decided to get adventurous and create gifts for all our employees so this is just a tiny sampling of what I created, what is inside each bag and then an appreciation page for each employee.

The first thing I did was create an 8 1/2 x 11 page for each employee with a cute Valentine border and then lines on the page for writing; each week, we took 5-6 employees and everyone else wrote notes of appreciation about that employee; seriously WHO does not love to hear good things about themselves, particularly when it comes to their co-workers, #amiright?

Then I worked on creating these gift sacks filled with candy, hot chocolate and a cute little straw; the envelope you see will also be tucked in to the bag for each employee. I hope they love these as much as I did in creating them!

The bags and straws came from Etsy (Shop Cherry Sprinkles); the tags on the bag are Reverse Confetti and the hearts are Lawn Fawn and Papertreyink; a few of the bags have doilies, just a hodge podge of fun!! I stamped some of the hearts with various stamps (I will link below); thinking employees can take their treats out and use the sacks for another gift or even re-gift what they received; I wouldn't mind.

Thanks for joining our Valentine's Day Blog Hop; hope you enjoy all the inspiration! And don't forget to leave me a note (as mentioned above) for your chance to win...pretty confident there will be MORE than one gift. ;)
