Little Bitty Challenge


I  finished my my second scrap page of the week!!!
This is for the Scrap It With a Song Challenge.
I just came across this challenge this past week, I love using songs for my scrap pages.


 This is my Mom & Dad, around 1957. I wish you could see my Mom's pretty face, but I loved how the picture worked with the Newsprint DSP. My handsome Daddy is reading the comics and Mom is reading her magazine.

Have a great day!!

Brady's Birthday

I hope everyone had a great weekend and Mother's Day!
Unfortunately, it's back to work today.








This is a card I made for my nephews birthday last week. I had my nephews over a couple weeks ago to make Easter & Mother's Day cards. Braydon saw this stamp and really liked it, so I used it for his card. I used the 4th of July set for the stars & firecrackers, and Afterthoughts for the birthday greeting.

Card Creations - Embossing
Ellephantastic - Birthday


Have a great day! Shelley

National Scrapbook Month

Hi all! May is national scrapbook month. I have been neglecting my scrapbooking for a while now. My goal is to create a mini album or scrapbook page at least once a week.

Here is a mini album I made last week. All the products are SU except the yarn on the binders.




I kept the colors to Cherry Cobbler, Marina Mist & Pear Pizzaz. The DSP is Paisely Petals. I used the bird punch and Boho Blossoms. For the stamp sets I used Punch Potpourri and Elements of Style.

Have a great day! Shelley

Elisa the Mermaid Queen

Good morning!
I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. The weather has been gorgeous here in West Virginia. I hope it is again today!

I have been a day behind all week. I should have posted this card yesterday. Today I hope to catch things up for the rest of the week.


This is Elisa Queen of the Sea and you can find her here! Isn't she beautiful.   I used Tempting Turquoise & Rich Razzleberry from SU! I used these colors together on a flower card I had made just from scraps I had laying around and really thought they were pretty together. A friend really liked it too and said that those should be my wedding colors and I thought that was a great idea. I will be ordering a lot more of these colors for favors and decorations.
I hope you all join us this week for our color challenge, it is Turquoise & Brown.  We have some beautiful entries. Don't forget to us an MPS image to qualify to win a free image from Michelle.
