It’s Thursday….

I am trying to get back to “nOrMaL”, whatever that is… of course people keep telling me this thing doesn’t go away for weeks, and I am starting to believe them…. It is THURSDAY which means a new sketch at the Fresh Batch at Stamps and Smiles!  I wanted to work on a little thank you box for Lisa Cook, I just need to buy some candy to send it her way!

What do you give your scrappy friend for halloween?  You give them a goodie mini matchbook bag!!!!!  I was thinking of this goodie bag and thought it would be so cute to send some scrappy halloween goodies to my scrappy friends.  I was going to keep them simple but for some reason I just kept piling up the goodness…. so instead of making 10 of them I ended up w/ one… LOL!!!!

Inspiration Challenge

For Krystal’s 2nd Designiversary her CT is doing an Inspiration Challenge, and I decided to play.  I am using Krystal’s freebit kit “Fresh Baked Fall”.  I took her swirl paper and partially extracted the swirls, then I applied a few blending modes to it and put it on top of the green “solid” paper.  I love how it turned out, it reminds me of my parent’s old refrigerator… LOL!!!!

supplies:  Fresh Baked Fall kit by Krystal H.; staples by Penny Springmann from Autumn Spice a kit coming really soon!

Paper Scrappin’… yes….

Yes, I am paper scrappin’ still… I can’t stay away from the sweet smell of paper, plus I have a room full of it that I NEED TO USE!  When I bought this paper I had totally forgotten that Bianca’s swimsuit was so perfect for it!  It was a nice surprise to say the least!  I started this one a few days ago for OLW challenge blog, but I guess I was too slow because they have moved to their next word.  A few more challenges for this one, current challenges LOL!!!!!
