Wordless Wednesday

uh, on Thursday.

because when i was working on this yesterday i had a omg-why-is-my-credit-card-bill-so-high-and-i-think-i-may-have-double-booked-myself-on-the-same-weekend-in-2-different-states-freak-out-kind-of-moment so i never got finished.

And since every one else is doing it,

I now go wordless...

{march 12, 2011}

delightfully {un}domestic

There is a new challenge up at Noel Mignon.

This is the "Domestic Goddess" challenge.

The challenge is all about scrapping your domestic routine...

or lack thereof in my case!

Hence this layout...

I used the Delightfully Domestic kit here.
Obviously my title is a play on the name of the kit!

And since I am no domestic goddess, I have no pictures to add to this page.

But I didn't really want to embarass myself any further anyway.

*****
As if that Delightfully Domestic kit wasn't good enough, Noel has a new kit for sale as of yesterday
(so you better get yours quick!).

This is "Jump and Jive"!!

Oh the goodness!!!

{get yours here}
:)
Happy Tuesday!

P.S.

It's not too late to hop along with us!

KI sketch challenge

Happy Monday!!
There's a new challenge up on the KI blog!

Lisa Dickinson came up with a great sketch to use as the challenge...

And this is the layout I made...

I used some of the new KI glitter cardstock with a sheet of calendar paper, quick strips, & Scribbles from the Over the Rainbow collection.
Then I went back to some old favorites (lace cardstock, brads, & good ole bling!) to complete the layout!

Thanks for looking!
And have a great day!
:)

P.S.

The Paper Issues blog hop is still going on two posts below!!

Noel Mignon BLOG HOP!!

I told yall there was going to be all kinds of hopping going on around here!
So welcome to my stop on the Noel Mignon blog hop!

This is more than just a fun way to get a bunch of sneaks all in one weekend, we have also turned it into a fun game!

For April, we are revealing the name of the kit through jumbled letters.
{hint: the name of the kit is 3 words with 11 total letters}
The first stop on the hop is the Noel Mignon LO/Project blog.
So if you are stopping here first, please head back over there and start over to be sure you collect all 11 letters.

Be sure to leave comments along the blog route, as there will be one lucky winner of a $10 discount pulled from all the comments left along the way.

whoop whoop!
We are going to pull the winner from ONE blog, but that blog is a mystery, so leave comments on every blog so you don't miss out!
The kit goes up for sale bright and early Monday morning!

There will be a full reveal Monday & kits will start shipping that very day!

Get your order in early as this kit has the some brand new lines that have been getting a lot of attention since debuting at CHA!!
It's going to go fast!
Now grab the letter from the sneak above and head over to Britt's blog to pick up your next one!

a card & a reminder

TGIF good people!

This is a quickie because I am late for work!

I made a card for the March card challenge over on the My Mind's Eye blog.

Here is the sketch...

And the theme was "celebrate today".

So I grabbed my "Delightfully Domestic" kit
from Noel Mignon
(because she loves to fill her kits with MME...and I do NOT complain!)

and

voila!!

Here's my card...

I am getting some use out of my Apron Lace border punch lately!
