Some misc layouts after almost 7 months!

I finally sat down to work on some layouts this weekend! Kept meaning to do so for 3 weeks, but DH got sick, then Isabella got sick, then I was sick.. so I finally put some time aside and sat down! I enjoyed it, and hope to sit down soon again, since I have a HUGE pile of pictures to scrap!

I worked on Scraplift, Go Green (card board) and Blade Master (punches)... 

TFL!

February Cards Challenge at Challenge Masters!

This month's challenge is to make a MONOCHROMATIC card! Any sentiment.. I used scraps on mine.. ribbon, buttons, EK butterfly punch, pins, bling, happy birthday rub on and made the tag all with leftover paper!

Hope you can join me!!!

Welcome to "Love is in the Air" Blog Hop from Challenge Masters!

Love is in the air and the Challenge Master Divas are celebrating by having a blog hop! The hop is going to run from Friday January 28th until Sunday January 30th. We have lots of prizes, fun and inspiration for you this weekend. If you have arrived from ANNE’s Blog you are on the right track. If you just got here than you need to head over to our Stash/Tag Diva Tammy's blog to get started.

All of the Divas are creating love inspired projects for you to enjoy. We also each have a word for a secret phrase. You need to stop by each blog and collect the words (they are all jumbled so you will need to visit each one) and once you have unscrambled them, send the phrase to tealeaf@shaw.ca to be entered to win one of the two grand prizes. We each have a small blog prize as well so you want to make sure that you stop by all the blogs and leave us some love, so that you have multiple chances to win!

Another way to win, is to create your own love inspired project and remember it can be anything you love (a person, a place, a thing, a hobby..whatever love means to you) and upload it to the Challenge Master’s Gallery in the forum. You will have until Sunday February 13th to enter your projects and then after careful deliberation a winner will be announced on our challenge blog!

The grand prize winner will receive a great prize pack donated by our Stash & Tag Diva Tammy! You don’t want to miss out on this so start creating! You can enter as many times as you wish as long as you create new projects each time.

RAK:

I am also providing a RAK for new followers, and those who leave a message on this post if they are already a follower or a new follower! The winner will be posted on Monday! So don’t forget to come back and see if you won!

My projects:
I altered a mail box that I got at Target for $1! I have several around the house, and figured it was the best time to get this altered since Valentine’s Day is about 2 weeks away! I used some Bo Bunny Paper, lots of Bling, Crocheted Flower, Pin, ribbon. I also have 2 cards that have some Bo Bunny, and used the Cricut to cut out “I am Bananas 4 you” the tall card is the sample of the current January Cards Challenge if you wish you join me!

My word for the secret phrase is KEEP....

Now you are off to JACKIE’s blog for some more creative love!
