Enjoy

Good Morning and happy Wednesday! I want to wish my sweet little baby boy, Max, a very Happy 2nd Birthday!!! Two years ago was so bitter sweet. It was the birth of my second son and my 4th child. A very happy moment indeed but it was also the day that I would have my last child. It was an extremely emotional day. Words cannot even begin to describe how much I love my children and miss them when I am not home. The last year (being in school so much and now working on weekends) has been really tough but I know in the end it will be all worth it. I would not change my life for anything. As much as I say winning the lotto and/or just having tons of money would change for the better, a happy home is not filled with money and materialistic things. A happy home is filled with love and we all love each other so very much. I tried to take a picture with my kids this morning but they were NOT having it. They pretty much ran. LOL!!

For today's card, our Delightful Designer, June, created it using the December card kit. There is still one left so if you would like to purchase it, click here. :-)

JUNE

I simply love this card, the pattern papers and the handmade embellishments she used. :-) So delightful!! For more details about this card, please visit June's blog.

Well, off to cuddle with my 3 sick little babies. :-( Wish me luck I keep my sanity today. LOL!!

Altered Gift Box

Good Morning my friends. The next 4 days will be pretty busy for me, I have 4 tests to complete. They aren't really finals but they are the final tests in all my classes. Thankfully 3 out of the 4 are take home but that just means more work. But that just means next week I will be free to craft. I have already done a little shopping to get some things I want to make. Plus I need to get started on the handmade goodies for January's kit.

Today I have an awesome altered tin/gift box to share with you. Our Delightful Designer, Julie, created it using the December monthly kit.

*the tins were included in the boxes sent to my DT but they were not included in the kit*

Super cute! This month's kit is packed with bright cheerful papers and embellishments. This time of the year most places it is dark, gloomy, cold, rainy/snowy, and can just all around be a time that some bright colorful scrappy goodies are fun to play with. The kits are selling and there are only a few left, so if you would like one, pick yours up while they are still in stock.

If you are looking for a Christmas gift for a scrappy friend or family member, we do offer pre-paid subscriptions. The pre-paid subscription prices are discounted 25% off the already super low monthly price. For $123.75 (plus shipping) you could have the latest and greatest scrapping papers and embellishments delivered to your door monthly for 6 months. We also offer 3 and 12 month pre-paid subscriptions. :-)

Don't forget to stop by Julie's blog for more inspiration!! :-)

My Baby

Happy Monday my friends!! This is going to be a good week, it's my last week of my Fall semester. :-) Which means I will have about 4 weeks to relax and craft. I am so excited. I'm on a slow road to recovery(going on 2 weeks of being sick). I really am hoping by the end of this week that I will be ALL better. My kids just started getting sick over the weekend. I don't think they will get it as bad as Tony and I did but they are certainly not feeling well. I need to get on my rubber gloves with my bleach water and disinfect my house.

So for today I have a super cute LO to share with you today that our Delightful Designer, Julie created using the December monthly kit. :-)

JULIE

So cute!! For more details about this LO, please visit Julie's blog. Oh and I forgot to mention this over the weekend but Artful Delight is sponsoring this week's challenge over at Wee Memories. The prize is a November card kit which is actually sold out.

And don't forget to play along with this month's sketch challenge for your chance to win January's kit. :-)

Dream big

Happy Sunday my friends! Today I have a fabulous card to share with you that our Delightful Designer, Abby, created using the December card kit. :-)

ABBY

Oh, I love all the fussy cutting!! This card is just beautiful!! For more details and inspiration please visit Abby's blog.

There are still some scrapbook and card kits left. Click here if you would like to purchase one. :-)

I am off to color Christmas ornaments with my kids before I have to go to work this afternoon.

Spotlight Saturday

the fabulous banner was created by our Guest Designer, Karen.

Good Morning my friends. It is a good day, not only am I starting to feel better BUT today is the 1st day of our Spotlight Saturday edition. For the month of December we have the amazingly talented Karen from The Bald Dragonfly joining us.

Karen was sent the December card kit to play with. And today I get to share with you her first project. I absolutely love that she made a headband out of super cute handmade felt embellishments included in the kit.

KAREN

Look at the adorable model showcasing the headband. :-)

There is still a card kit left and a few scrapbook kits. Check that out here. For more details and TONS of inspiration be sure to stop by Karen's blog. We will be back next Saturday with another Spotlight Saturday but please join us tomorrow as we share another project using the December card kit. :-)

Out & About

Good Morning my friends. Got a little bit of a late start, so sorry about that. I am on day 10 of my sickness. :-( Thankfully I think I am on the road to recovery. Tony, however, is at the peak of his sickness. We have been together for 6 years and I have never seen him call in sick to work. NEVER! Well today he did or at least he is trying to but his boss is not being nice about it. He must feel really crappy to call in. I just hope (fingers crossed) that none of my kids get sick like we have been. I guess it's our bodies telling us we are working too hard. LOL!

Anywho, TGIF!!! Friday's don't mean much around my house (I actually dread them) because Tony works all weekend, I work all weekend, so there is no down time on the weekends. But for those that get the weekend to relax, I hope it is pleasant and filled with crafty time. :-)

Today I have another LO to share with you using the December monthly kit. Our Delightful Designer, Kelly, created this amazing LO!!

KELLY

Look at that fussy cutting. I LOVE it!! I cannot wait to play with this month's kit. And that handmade flower that Debbie made, beautiful!! For more details about this LO, please visit Kelly's blog.

The December kits are selling so if you are thinking about getting one, act fast before they sell out. :-) I can assure you, you won't be disappointed in the kit.

And don't forget to play along with this month's sketch for your chance to win January's kit. Link your project up in the side bar by December 23rd. :-)
