Playing a little catch up...

I have a couple of cards that were up on the Bella Blvd blog yesterday...
*****
I have a cousin who got married over Thanksgiving weekend.

The wedding was in Rhode Island and we could not make the trip. Confession: They just celebrated their 6 month anniversary and I have not yet sent a gift.

So the inside of this card says, "Happy 6 month anniversary!" and I have a gift card to include.

Better late than never, right??!

I used a bunch of the new Bella Blvd stuff and tried to make the card extra cute so that hopefully she won't be too mad that I am sending it so late!

And one more...

Many times when I am kind of stuck in a rut, I go back and look through my albums or box of cards for a little inspiration.

I usually can find something that will at least help me get started on my next project.

Like this card, for example!

 I started this card with the intention of using the same design as I used on the "Congratulations" card above.

Obviously, it evolved into something completely different!

I still need to pick a winner from all of you who left me comments over on the CK blog.

I haven't forgotten!

Be back soon with that!!

:)

Happy Friday!

Happy National Scrapbooking Day!! + a GIVEAWAY

For the occasion there are fun things going on over on the Bella Blvd blog all day long!

All of the design team members have made an "All About Me" layout and they are being shared throughout the day.

*****

My layout today is all about my love for bikes. 

For the longest time I have been a runner & thought spending money on a good bike was silly. 

Well if I ever actually told anybody that, 

I am eating my words now!

:) 

Here are a couple of close up pics of the layout. 

All the supplies here are Bella Blvd except for the black cardstock (DCWV), bling (My Mind's Eye), and the bike stamp (Fancy Pants). 

*****
OK let's do something fun!

How about a little giveaway to celebrate!

All you have to do is leave a comment here & I will pick a winner on Monday.

The winner gets this loot:

This prize pack includes crochet flowers & baby blooms from Bella Blvd, canvas brads from Cosmo Cricket, cute buttons from Fancy Pants, fun straws & pearl blossoms from Queen and Co., washi tape from Freckled Fawn, and burlap alphas from Little Yellow Bicycle. 

It's all great stuff!!

Just leave a comment for your chance to win!

Happy National Scrapbooking Day!
