Fall is here! Let's take a trip to the Apple Orchard or maybe you want to go to the Pumpkin Patch! A little story about pumpkin patches...I started scrapbooking when our first grandchild was born. And boy did I love documenting everything about his growth. When he was 3 I wanted to take him to a pumpkin patch for the sole purpose of being able to do a photo shoot there and as a result create a scrapbook page. So whether you scrapbook or make cards, make sure you enjoy the fall weather and do something fun! Our Guest and Design Team has some fabulous project to share with the September kit "Orchards and Patches." Please visit Scrapping for Less to get your kit. Also enter the Rafflecopter on the SFL blog post for a chance to win a prize!

For my projects using the kit, I wanted to show how versatile our new Create-a-Dex dies are with the kits. I used the Barn Create-a-Dex to create a memory card with each collection. There are only a very few Barn dies left so jump right in and grab yours along with your kit.

I also used the stencil in the Banana Split level as well as the extra ephemera that can be purchased.

Hope you enjoy! Next up on the hop is the wonderfully talented Stacy!

Cool Treats "Last Day of Summer Hop"

 Thanks for joining us for the last day of summer! Wait! It is not the last day of summer...Well, that is what google said when I consulted the good 'ole search engine for the date before I published the hop sign ups! But then again maybe it is...Summer is still around until 9:30 AM (EST) and then poof at 9:31 AM it is FALL!

So, the reason I wanted to do this hop is because I LOVE SUMMER! Summer is my absolute most favorite season of the year. I hate to see it go each and every year! But I am sure there will be some absolutely gorgeous projects as you hop along on this last day of summer/first day of fall...which is it?

I have used Scrapping for Less "Cool Treats" and an ancient chipboard sticker set to create these cute summer cards.

You can purchase Cool Treats here

Bubbles! Who doesn't love playing with bubbles? Some may think they are for children put take out a bottle of bubbles and just see how many people would love to chase one down or wait for it to land on your finger so you can pop it! This month's kit is all about bubbles of all kinds...so grab a bottle of bubbles or go soak in a bubble bath and hop along as you see what the Design Team and guest designer have to share! You can find this month's kits under the Card Kits tab on the home page of the website. Make sure you also enter our Rafflecopter for a chance towin a prize.




Earlier this month my grandson celebrated his 10th birthday. We had a wonderful little family pool party but wanted to give him a themed party still, so we pulled the inspirations from this month's card kit and put on a totally fantastic bubble party!  Including floating rubber duckies in the pool!

It's A Mermazing Monday #mermazingmonday

Hi, Welcome to my blog today. If you didn't see the past few days blog posts go check them out. I organized a hashtag "Under the Sea" hop. I had so much fun that I decided I wanted to continue. 

So, if you decide you want to dive in...and join just use the hashtag #mermazingmonday on your post whether it be Instagram, Youtube, or a blog. 

Most of all have fun! 

So, this was a very busy day for me...I did not get in my craft room to craft until 9pm tonight! Yikes... so unlike me. Anyhow, I am not making as fast a progress on the banner as I wanted to. It will be finished by next Monday and I will show it in full detail.

Here is the next panel.

Under the Sea Hashtag Hop #Saturdayunderthesea

Hello my crafty friends. I am back for Day 3 of the Under the Sea hop. I have had such a blast the past 3 days making my mermaid panels for the hop. I did not even begin to touch all of my beautiful mermaids. So, since I have not I decided while lying in bed last night (trying to go to sleep...that is when these bright ideas hit me!) to do Mermazing Mondays on my blog for the month of August. Yes each Monday I will have a blog post showcasing something "Mermazing". If you would like to join in, leave a comment below or email me @ teresa@scrappingforless.com, I will create a graphic and we can use the hashtag #MermazingMondaysinAugust. 

Ok onto my two panels for today...Final Reveal of the Banner will be the post on Monday so you will need to come back to see it completed then!

Build Your Holiday Stash Day 3 (a couple days late)

I decided to use some SFL paper and Pebbles stickers to create some quick simple cards.

I used the following MOJO Monday sketch for these 3 cards.

I used the paper from last November's Christmas Card kit to create these cards.

Papers used:  Holly Berries from Scrapping for Less

Build Your Holiday Stash Day 3

 

I spent most of the day in my craft room creating projects I needed to work on. I did not get today's cards completely finished enough to link up but I am putting up a blog post for them. I have been on a kick lately making a bunch of cards at one sitting instead of just making 1 or 2. Here are my 17 cards I made today. 

These will all have sentiments and/or images on them tomorrow.

Thanks for taking the time to stop and take a look.
