A Bestie Day

Happy Monday!! What a morning. Nothing too hectic but I didn't get to bed until sometime after midnight and then I had high hopes of getting up at 6am and making it to Panera Bread to get some homework done. Yeah, that didn't happen. I was up on and off all night with my kids (they like to sleep in bed with us and I end up sleeping at the foot of the bed curled up like a dog, lol....not really comfy). So I didn't get up until almost 8. Then I had to run to the store because we ran out of butter and Tony needed it to make some hamburger buns. We are having homemade sloppy joe for dinner, Y-U-M-M-Y!!!! So now I have arrived at Panera to realize that I brought the wrong laptop. :-( All the papers I started writing last week were on my personal laptop that is too big to carry around. My school laptop is the one I brought with me. UGH!!! So now I have to find something else to work on. :-( Oh well.

I did want to get this post made before I started my homework, sorry it's a little late getting posted.

Our Delightful Designer, Julie, created this beauty. :-) She created it using the January scrapbook kit.

JULIE

I love how she framed the photos using the pink Jute that is included in the kit. Just fabulous!! For more details about this LO, please visit Julie's blog.

..........CONGRATULATIONS JULIE..........

Please contact me within one week to claim your prize: leeanne@artfuldelight.com. I will chose another winner this time next week if I don't hear from Julie.

Thank you to everyone that entered my giveaway. If you didn't win this time don't fret, I have a TON of stuff to giveaway and I will probably have another one sometime this week. Be on the lookout. LOL! :-)

Now I would like to share the card with you that Abby created. :-)

ABBY

WOW, all the detail that went in to this card. Love it. I have put together a few more card kits and they are now available at Artful Delight. The only thing that sold out in the kit was the Jillibean Soup note card and envelope set. I have been trying to get my hands on more but they have been out of stock for so long. Ugh. BUT to replace those I have added additional cardstock to the kit. So each card kit will include 8 sheets of each color for a total of 24 sheets of 8 1/2x11 cardstock. AWESOME!!!

Be sure to stop by Abby's blog for more inspiration and details on this card!! :-)

Spotlight Saturday

Good Morning!! The weekend is upon us!! Today I don't have to work until this evening so I am going to try and do a little homework and also try to craft a little. :-)

Since it's Saturday that means we have another fabulous project to share from our guest designer Suzy from Scrap with Suzy!! Suzy was sent the January scrapbook kit.

SUZY

Fabulous LO and I love how she journaled around the photo. For more details about this LO, please visit Suzy's blog. :-)

That's it for today bu be sure to stop by tomorrow for more crafty inspiration! :-)

Baby Love

Good Morning and HAPPY FRIDAY!!! What are your plans for the weekend? Well I have to work all 3 days but I am going to try and squeeze in some crafty time. I really enjoyed crafting this week and I am ready for more! If crafting is on your agenda for the weekend and you haven't played along with this month's sketch, you should try it out. You have until Jan 23rd to link up your project and you are playing for a February kit. I am excited about the February kit because one of the collections that is included hasn't even been released yet. Ooooohhhhh!! :-)

Today I have an AWESOME LO to share with you that our Delightful Designer, Kelly created using the January scrapbook kit.

KELLY

I LOVE LOVE this LO!! I can't put my finger on what it is about the LO, usually I have one or two things that really jump out at me but this LO just screams at me. Maybe it's all the Kraft (which I LOVE) and then the pops of color. I mean all the projects have been that way this month......well now that I think about it I have LOVED every project this month. LOL!!

Anywho, for more details about this LO and a TON of inspiration, please visit Kelly's blog.

There are still a couple January scrapbook and card kits left, click here to purchase yours. Also the Crate Paper collection packs have been discounted. Check it out.

Thank You

Good Morning!! It has been cold and rainy here the last couple days. YUCK!! I can handle cold and I can handle rain but I can't handle the two together. :-( Oh well, hopefully this will be my last winter here. So it is almost the end of the first week of school and I am totally excited, only 15 weeks to go. :-) LOL!

Yesterday I did a little crafting. I have been on a shopping spree, not spending that much but I just want new things. I want new product. I want to buy, buy, buy!! A couple weeks ago I bought some Papertrey Ink goodies and then I also went in to my LSS the other day and bought a new Hero Arts stamp.

With those goodies I set out to make these two cards. Well it will be a set of Thank You cards eventually but I had to go back and get stuff from Papertrey Ink so I am waiting for that to come in the mail.

I bought 6 new ink pads but I only bought 2 of the Perfect Match cardstock. I also bought some dies and the white note card set.



With the two cards I used the white note cards for the base and I also used the coordinating ink and cardstock, all from Papertrey Ink. LOVE these colors. The "Thank You" stamp was an exclusive and I am not even sure if it is sold separate.

I am trying out the Inlinkz Product Manager so all the supplies for these cards are listed below. :-)

PARTY!

Good morning fellow crafters!! It is half way through my first week of this semester and I think I am going to make it through with no problems. My classes are all just the second half of what I took last semester. So, same professors and mainly the same students in the class. I have high hopes for this semester and finishing my Associates degree with a good GPA!! :-)

I am so excited about the response to this month's sketch challenge. I am not sure if it is because all the holidays are over and more of you are able to craft or if sponsoring Sketch Inspiration this week has brought us some new participants but I am super excited. Be sure to play along for your chance to win February's scrapbook kit. :-)

Today I have an awesome card to share with you that our Delightful Designer, June created using the January card kit.

I just LOVE the pops of color in this card. For more details about this card please visit June's blog.

Card set

Hello my crafty friends! Today I have some cards to share with you that I created. They all sort of go together as a card set. I have a couple more to make but I thought I would share with you what I have created so far.

My all time favorite new stamp is one of the Basic Grey/Hero Arts cling stamps. It is a background stamp. It coordinates with Basic Grey's Out of Print collection. I just love it!! I bought mine at my LSS but here is a link to the stamp. Click here!





The last card I haven't added a sentiment yet but I think it is my favorite mix of colors. Basically all I did was white embossed the background stamp on a standard sized white card base. Then I sponged on a variety of distress inks, changing up the color combo for each card. I think I like the last one the most because it has a little bit of each of the colors I have.

And that's it. Just slap on a sentiment and you have a super easy card.

Don't forget to enter my giveaway that I have going on right now. Click here to enter. Also be sure to stop by Sketch Inspiration and play along this week, we are sponsoring the sketch challenge this week and the prize is a January scrapbook kit.

And don't forget to play along with our sketch challenge here on the blog. Upload your project by January 23rd or your chance to win our February scrapbook kit. :-) Link up in the sidebar.

Be sure to stop by tomorrow, I will have another project from one of our Delightful Designers to share with you using the January kit. :-)
