Throwback Thursday Challenge

Over at My Creative Time Emma has posted the Throwback Thursday challenge.  This week it was our choice for which cartridge we wanted to use and the only rule was to use hearts.  Today I received Sweet Treats and Straight From The Nest and I since they're older carts, I decided to use Sweet Treats for the challenge!  I can't wait to try out the cupcake holders and all of the fun options! 


I used My Mind's Eye Summer Song paper and I love how glittery it is!  I'm not sure where the yellow glitter paper came from but it really does stand out in person.  I hope my niece likes her card! The stamp inside smudged a little but I think it gives it character. ;)

Recipe: 
Sweet Treats - cupcake 5"
My Mind's Eye - patterned paper
DCWV - cardstock
Hero Arts - Stamp
Kaiser Scrapbook - Rhinestones
Palette - Ink
Adhesive - foam tape, Glue Glider Pro

Season's Greetings!  It's one week away from Christmas and I am STILL making my cards! I've sent out many of them and I'm down to the last of my list but I'm feeling the pressure to get them finished and in the mail.  (As I should be, hmm? haha)

Here's one that I did this morning.  I love snowmen! :)

The important stuff:
Gypsy Wanderings - Snowman
Queen and co. - Bling
PP - My Mind's Eye
cardstock - Hobby Lobby & D
Ink - Doodlebug Design
Punch - Fiskers
Twine - purchased on Etsy  (super cheap and received a ton!  Leave a comment with information if you'd like her store!)
Sizzix dots embossing folder

More to come....

A few LOs I finished last night.  If you're on BBC and love to scrap or are just interested to know more, swing by the Crop board and join us! :)


In February of 2009 we took a trip to Thailand and Malaysia, and I have yet to scrap these photos.  I know, I know!  You're not the only one telling me to get on the ball!  (love you babe. :D) Wait, I had yet to scrap a page until last night that is.


We had a white space challenge and I found a really cute LO at another blog that I wanted to lift.   I used DCWV cardstock, Queen & Co. felt, Thickers (umbrella), Fiskars punch, Prima flower, Basic Grey brad, and a Fancy Pants stamp.

Here I used Cosmo Cricuts Mr. Campy line, a Fiskars punch for the brown border, Making Memories flowers, and brown ricrac from CTMH . For the letters I used Designer's Calendar and the paper I used was actually a patterned paper from K&C Company.  Lots of collaboration going on here! haha

For those of you addicted.....

The second picture is the gift I gave our mail carrier for Christmas. I decorated a jar of my homemade apple butter and made him a pop-up card. I hope he enjoyed it! (If you'd like the apple butter recipe, click here!) I assure you, it's delicious and so easy!!

The third photo is the birthday card I made my mom.
