I counted the comments and GABRIELLE is the winner!  Whoohoo! 

Thanks for the great sites everyone!  And thanks for mentioning how much you love Counterfeit Kit Challenge, too!

Counterfeit Card Kit and a prize!

Happy National Scrapbook Day! 

I just LOVE that we have our own "holiday".  I think that everyone should have a paid day off...and we should all get presents...don't you think?

I can't help you with the paid day off, but I do have a present to give away!

If you would like to win ALL THREE of these brand new stamp sets, all you need to do is:

Leave a comment with a link to your favorite scrapbook blog

That's it.  I will do a drawing on Monday and announce the winner. 

So, if you came here from Counterfeit Kit Challenge, it is nice to see you!  If you have not been over there yet, then you really should stop by to see all of the NSD fun!

Since it is NSD...and since our "thing" is counterfeiting kits, I thought it would be fun to counterfeit a card kit for today!  Check out the kit we are counterfeiting  here: Counterfeit Kit Challenge or here: Cup Cards to Go.   Isn't this a nice change of pace?  And very easy to put together for today!

Here is my counterfeit card kit:

My papers and punched "lace" paper trim:

My Embellishments:

Close Ups of my Embellishments:

I will admit that I was stuck on the paper.  I over thought it and tried to get to matchy, which never works for me.  Since the kit is pretty small and easy to put together (and I only put in 6x6 paper), I made a second one for Isabel so we can create some cards together.  She is so excited!

I can't wait to see what you all come up with!  Don't forget to leave a comment with your favorite scrappy blog to be entered to win the stamps!

My May Add On Kit

My May Kit came together surprisingly easy!  Since I decided to make it a boy kit, my head was full of ideas to try!  So many ideas that I decided to do an add on kit.  LOL  I haven't really focused on the boy stuff before, but it was really fun!

Good Supply of cardstock
Various ribbons, twine
Epoxy buttons
Red brads, star brads and  brads that look like screws

Bet you can't wait to see my main kit now, huh?

Card Challenge Part 3

Unlike those really badly made B movies with the massive amount of sequals, I'm sure you have been chomping at the bit to see more of our card challenges.  Come on.  Admit it!

Here is another Pam tradition while with us....baking!  Of course I made cookie dough to munch on, but cupcakes were mainly on the agenda.

**Bacon Sprinkled cupcake:  YUCK!

Chipboard challenge...which I didn't do and forgot to take a picture of Isabel's...but here is

Pam's

After Pam left (and I got a little teary), Isabel decided to do card challenges with me.  You don't understand how big that is.  She ONLY does them with Pam.  Never just mommy.  Yeah for me!

So here is our first mother/daughter card challenge:

I cannot wait for National Scrapbook Day...I feel more mother/daughter challenges coming on!  I even organized all of her scrap stuff and got her some new storage.  My 6 year old is going to need her own craft room soon.  LOL



Pam's visit....revisited

Besides card challenges, Pam had some goals in mind for our visit.  Here is one of them:

and here is the other:

We had quite the interesting time at Denny's.  Our first visit (yep, there were two) for dinner led us to a very enthusiastic waiter (hi, Chad).  I really thought that ONE of us was getting an engagement ring at the end of the meal.  We were too full for dessert (and laughing too hard at our creepy waiter), so we took Collin and Isabel for a treat after school.  Bacon Sundaes all around.  Don't judge us.  They are pretty yummy!

Ready for some more card challenge?

Here we go!  Cloud Challenge:

Pam, again.  Show off.

Tomorrow is another day...and more card challenges!

Card Challenge!

My good scrappy friend, Pam came for a visit last week.  My problem is I'm not sure if she came to stay with me or do card challange with Isabel.   At least they let me join in.  LOL  We got out all of our scrappy stuff and Isabel would give us a theme for our cards.  We would all make them and then put them on the fireplace mantle to admire them.

So, I give you, card challenge....
