Right at Home 52 Memoies Challenge

Scrapbook the Ordinary

I am honored to be

a Design Team Member

for Right at Home Scrapbooking!

And equally honored to be

52 Memories Challenge Hostess

for this week!

The 52 Memories group

is offered to scrapbookers

(and scrapbooker wannabes)

for the sole purpose

of getting completed at least

one scrapbook page a week.

My challenge is to scrapbook

THE ORDINARY.

Sometime our photos can overwhelm us

and thus make us not want to

scrapbook at all.

(DON'T LET THIS HAPPEN, SCRAPPERS!)

I challenge you to pick

the photos of the ordinary things in life

and start CROPPING!

My only regulation for this crop is

NO HEAD SHOTS AT ALL.

Photos used must be of "the ordinary" things.

Check out

Right at Home Scrapbooking

for tons of inspiration.

Thanks for visiting and enjoy the dance!

Stampin' Addicts

It is VERY EASY to create
and there are so many ways to expand on it.
LOVE that!
Okay, why FROGS for Mother's Day?
My mom likes them... alot.
Hope she likes my box

The LO of my box was inspired by
Triple the Sketch #49.

"Hoppy for You" and "Oval All."

My colors for this cute box are

Glorious Green

Taken with Teal

Baja Breeze

Chocolate Chip.

Dreamin'...

The final card for my application to

Queen Kat Designs

for the Royal Stamping Maid position.

So with this card,

not only am I dreaming of royalty

but I am also dreaming of summertime.

Bring on the heat already!

I love to dream.

I don't set goals

(at least not ones that are too far out of my reach.)

Dreaming is an act of pure imagination, attesting in all men a creative power, which if it were available in waking, would make every man a Dante or Shakespeare. ~H.F. Hedge

Dreams are answers to questions we haven't yet figured out how to ask. ~X-Files

Dreams are illustrations... from the book your soul is writing about you. ~Marsha Norman

Pay attention to your dreams - God's angels often speak directly to our hearts when we are asleep. ~Quoted in The Angels' Little Instruction Book by Eileen Elias Freeman, 1994

Dreams are free, so free your dreams. ~Astrid Alauda

Still Dreamin' of Royalty...

Card #2 in my application

for Queen Kat Design Team.

Isn't this just dreamy?!

I love this cupcake from Stampin' Up!.

The frosting looks so realistic

I just want to take a bite!

Be sure to check out

Queen Kat Designs

and tell them KellyJean sent ya!

Thanks for stoppin' by!

Hugs

Dreamin' about Royalty

Ah, sigh.

Today, I applied for a DT position with

Queen Kat Designs .

I am "dreaming of royalty."

(said in a very dreamy way)

I've gotten Kat's email newsletters

for quite some time now.

I've always been impressed with

the fun and funky creativity

at Queen Kat Designs.

So to acheive a

"royal" position would just be "dreamy!"

This card is one of the three

I sent in for my application.

What do ya think?

Check back tomorrow and the next day

for my other two submissions.

I'd love to get my stampy little

fingers on some of those

great Queen Kat Desgins!

Yummy Inspiration

I haven't posted a cooking recipe in quite a long time. The Raspberry Tart DSP used on this greetingcard always makes me hunger. I think it looks so YUMMY. It reminds me of strawberries. I really enjoy making these little LOOOOONG greetings because they are so cute AND they fit perfectly in SU!'s small open ended envelopes which are stinkin' cute!

Not Just Your Average Baked Spaghetti

8 oz rotini noodles, cooked and drained

2 sweet Italian sausage links, casing removed, browned and drained

1/2 pkg pepperoni

1 jar Ragu Pizza Sauce

1/2 jar spaghetti sauce

2 C mozzarella cheese, shredded

Heat oven 350 degrees. In a 9x9 (or 9x13, your choice) dish, combine all ingredients except cheese. Stir well. Top with cheese. Bake 10-15 minutes or heated thoroughly and cheese is melted.

This was AWESOME. We had it with a salad and garlic bread. There is something about the pizza sauce and pepperoni that made this dish "not just your average baked spaghetti." Hope you enjoy!

Gift Giving

Gift giving is so FUN, EASY,

and AFFORDABLE

with what we have right in our own homes.

These gift containers were created

from BEEF JERKY CONTAINERS.

Ya!

I simply love how easy altering and item is

when I use my

Designer Series Papers by Stampin' Up!

For these gift containers,

I used the Pink Flamingo DSP.

It's crazy fun!

I also used the Love You Much stamp set

accompanied by the Scallop Circle Punch.

(snuck in some Primas as well.)

I just love how fun the

containers turned out to be!

Just think of how fun

giving them will be as well!!!

Simple Thank You Card

I really enjoy making these simple greeting cards.

The Whisper White part of my card is 3.3/4 x 8".

I simply fold it in half and adhere it to a

piece of colored card stock measuring 4 x 5.1/4".

Then that all gets adhered

to a piece measuring 4.1/4 x 5.1/2".

This really saves on my colored card stock.

Plus, when I don't have time to decorate

the inside of my card,

this card is all white inside... perfect for a note.

I used the stamp set

"A Rose is a Rose" for this card.

Two Step Stamping is the perfect technique

to use on these quick and simple cards.

No time for embellishments?

No problem with 2Stepping.

If you have any questions, please feel free to email me.

Everything

There are so many people in my life

that I could send this card to and mean it.

You know, those people that accept you for who you are

(no matter what,)

and those people that do all sorts of things

to help you when you just need a little this or that

(even when they're not sure what "this or that" is,)

and those people who quietly sit back

(most of the time) but come forward

to say, "thanks. you've inspired me"

THOSE PEOPLE really and truly

mean "everything to me."

And I don't tell them often enough.

YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE.

Thank YOU

for loving me, helping me, and lifting me.

Thank you.

Super Simple B-Day Card

The BIG SHOT makes ANY project super simple!

My flower was created with the "Daisies #2" die.

I just LOVE the effect it creates!

My DSP is "Pink Flamingo."

(See, didn't I say it was really fun paper?!)

I filled my tiny flower circle with

Crystal Effects.

To create the card base...

start with a 5.1/2 x 8" piece of WW cardstock.

Fold it in half.

Using the Tearing Edge, tear at a diagonal

ONE SIDE ONLY.

Sponge and Spritzer color onto the torn half.

Adhere a 4.1/4 x 5.1/2" piece of DSP

to the back of the torn portion of the card.

Voila!

I love this using this style of card with DSP.

When you open the card,

it really pops with the double sided pattern.
