T-Minus 4 … and now I have a cold

Seriously?! This is no way to welcome my 40’s. My kids have been battling various forms of the runny nose since school started but I’ve managed to avoid catching anything. Until this morning.

Oh well, the sun is shining so it’s not all bad, right? Also, I found decently sized plastic wine glasses at the grocery store yesterday. Silver lining people!!

Today I thought I’d give away another pack of Stampin’ Up patterned paper. I was REALLY lucky to win all 11 sets of their DSP’s (Designer Series Paper) earlier this month so it seems only right to pay it forward to you guys. Today I am offering up Eastern Elegance. It’s full of lovely soft yellows, purples and aqua’s.

I may be a little excited. ๐Ÿ™‚ I don’t think it’s any secret that Iย adore Glitter Girl (and her mild mannered friend Shimelle Lain).

It’s only $25 and if it’s anything like Shimelle’s other workshops you get a TON of content!! ย

A Quick Share

This morning in my Facebook feed was the Free Miss Kate Cuttables Freebie of the Day and I had to snap it up! Check it out HERE. If you’re reading this on Monday then sorry, I was just too slow creating my layout. ๐Ÿ™ It should be in the 50 cent store though and well worth it too!

Using my Gossamer Blue kit and one of the spider web overlays (that I’d resized to fit my 12×12″ paper), I created this.

One Week Left!!!

Not entirely sure where September went. Yes, I’ve beenย unbelievably busy with back to school, after school activities, this blog party and working twice as many hours as I’m used to. But this is my last month to call myself “in my 30’s”. I should be making each day count, right? Now suddenly I look at the calendar and realize I’ve only got 7 more days left “in my 30’s”!! Yikes!

So … what does this mean for you?

MORE PRESENTS! ๐Ÿ™‚

Every day, starting today, there will be a giveaway on my blog.

Yes, you heard me. EVERY DAY!

Today I’ve got a pack of Stampin’ Up Polka Dot Parade up for grabs.

Polka Dot Parade Designer Series Paper

Each day will have a new Rafflecopter entry form and all giveaways will end at midnight PST September 29th 2013. Good luck everyone!

SWAT Drill #16 – Clueless + a Video

Happy Saturday everyone!

I have the day off and after swimming lessons and some house chores, I hope to get back into my scrap room. What about you? What are you up to today?

To get your creative juices flowing today I am please to share my latest layout for SWAT – Scrapbook Warriors Advanced Training. We’ve got a fabulous sketch from our very own Bev Code with the twist of having to use twine on the layout somewhere. Here’s the sketch and my layout.

Jumping on the Kit Club Bandwagon

My spending freeze is officially over!

I’ve got a bit of extra cash these days so I have decided to spend some of it on a monthly kit subscription from Gossamer Blue. Why Gossamer Blue? They put together just exactly the type of products I use, they have a gallery where you can share your layouts made using their kits and if you upload 4 layouts a month on your 6 month they send you a free album. Kind of awesome, right?

Anyway, I’ve filmed a video of me unpacking my first kit (when I signed up I took advantage of a special offer of a free add-on kit so you’ll see me unpack that too). Coming up tomorrow is another video of me using my kit to create a layout for the new challenge up at SWAT.

Enjoy! If you want to sign up after seeing the goodies inside my kit, just go here. No affiliate links, just my personal endorsement for an awesome kit club!

So far … ๐Ÿ™‚
