Sweet Spring Bundle from WM [squared] @ Scrap Orchard

Pocket Pages from Valerie Wibbins @ The Lily Pad

Going to work on Week 16 (this past week) and then go back to week 15 and then back to 12 (which I still have yet to do).  I think doing it right away – or at least the journaling for it makes it SO much easier!

Now… share your pages.

{Friday Fun} with Heart Basket

Pin It

The girls had a fun time playing with this heart basket. I was featured at Scrap n’ Art back in February and this was the template they received with their subscription. But this isn’t only good for Valentine’s – it would be perfect as an apple for Teacher Appreciation, or filled with goodies for Mother’s Day.

Take a look at what the girls created:

Think we like gum? I pulled it all out because my mom wanted a few packs.

The first day I was there we went down to Shelf Reliance headquarters and took a tour. This was in the packing facility.

We walked down to Temple Square and had lunch at Lion House – I was not really all that impressed with the rolls – did I miss something?

{Project Life} Week 13… still behind!

Pin It

Well I never got my Week 12 pages completed, and I don’t have Week 13 done yet either. I am hoping that I will have time to do both weeks tonight, but think I will get 13 done first – since that is fresh in my mind.  Do you skip a week and do the most current one when you get “behind” or do you finish them in order? I worked Sat, Sun & Mon so there wasn’t any scrapping time this weekend but now I am off until Friday so I should get all caught up again!

Finally … my pages!

Pin It

With Easter just around the corner, there is still time to create some fun Easter projects. Check out some of these Easter ideas:

Using the Print it: Bunny Basket, you can easily create an adorable basket filled with goodies. You can even chalk or ink the edges and add your very own cotton tail like Krisi did!
Scrappymelly created a personalized egg basket using the Egg Basket templates. How much fun would the special person in your life love to receive a basket with their name on it?!
CarolinaScrapper created a fun, colorful and playful card to celebrate Easter - this is a free download (just check yesterdays post!)

Birthday Card Challenge @ScrapOrchard & Reminders

Pin It

Create a birthday card (or spring/Easter would work too) and show it off in the gallery as well as post back to this thread. Everyone who completes a card by Tuesday 12pm noon EST will be entered to win a $10 gift card to my store. Don't forget that most of the Market is on sale for 35% off (including all my hybrid goodies)

*Includes two word arts - similar - to use if you want -- you do NOT have to use them*
Download the template: http://www.4shared.com/zip/pyjZKrUf/..._cardtemp.html

BONUS - Purchase a template from my store and create a matching project to go with your card - then you will get a coupon to spend that same amount in my store on another template!!! That is like saving an additional 50% off.

And a couple reminders – if you have not changed the batteries in your smoke detectors – change them. If you have not rotated the food (unless it is THRIVE) in your 72 hour kits rotate it (or you don’t have one – get one). And if you have not backed up your computer lately – DO IT!
