On to my Creation: I have a confession...NO VIDEO...I was so disappointed...I hit record but it turned off for some reason after just a few minutes and I just kept recording! 

This story would have been so much better with my voice telling it!!

The inspiration for this kit and the stamp set came from an experience when I taught first grade. We always did author studies and one of my favorite children's author is Laura Numeroff. Around Mother's Day we would always read her book "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie" It is a circle story that ends up right back where it started with the Mouse in the story doing all sorts of things. 

Well, what better writing in May than something for Mother's Day, so my first grader's wrote a book "If You Give your Mother a Kiss"  Anyhow back to the Mouse...so that memory inspired me to see if I could have this mouse created for us to use it on this stamp. Then the paper could not have been any better. So, I hope you enjoy my card and you have a fabulous time hopping along and seeing all these wonderful creations this month.!

I used Collection 4 of the February Flavor of the Month "Whip it Up"

I also used Sketch #2 for this card.

Update on My Life

Thought I would pop in today and give a quick update on what has been going on in my life lately. I am happily retired from teaching. Loving my life...running my business Scrapping for Less! I spend time running the business, creating, and helping my daughter get through nursing school by picking up the slack with getting kids to and from school, appointments, and if they are sick.  All 3 of those happened to collide together...oldest ortho appt, middle one sick, and picking up youngest from school. But, I wouldn't have it any other way.

I have gotten into recently designing for our company and realize I absolutely love it...ephemera, paper pads, and stamps....and oh how I love my scripty fonts and being able to decide which to use on the various sentiments I choose.

So, my advise to you today...if you are not living your dream, why not? What tiny little steps can you take towards making your dream a realization? I never thought I would be living mine, but here I am loving and enjoying life and a dream come true!

"Joy to the World" Scrapping for Less October 2018 Flavor of the Month Kit!

Joy to the World! That song so reminds me of Christmas because as a little girl I was full of joy and glee waiting for Christmas to arrive. Of course though, what child isn’t? Right? Well, I feel the same way every single month when it comes time to reveal the card kit. This month is no exception because Christmas cards are my most absolute favorite cards to make! So let’s get cracking on those Christmas cards! Have you started yours yet? Well, if not here are some fantastic little collections to get you going. So run don’t walk to make sure you get your Flavor of the Month kit this month, it is packed full of JOY! 

I have one card for you today...stay tuned though cause I plan to use up this kit quickly and share! I used Collection 3 and made a shaker card using a very loose interpretation of Sketch #1.

I stamped the little caroling trio with Versafine Ink and then colored with my Zig Markers. I cut the bear on the left away and fussy cut him and the lamp post for the decor on my card. I then added some of the stickles in the Banana Split package to the top of the lamp post. I also grabbed a heart die and shaker pouch from my stash to create the shaker window and used those beautiful white sequins in the pouch. I think this card is super cute...and this kit is adorable! So make sure to grab one this month!

Also, you could win a past kit if you head back to the SFL blog and join in by participating in our rafflecopter!
