Top Ten Blog Hop Winner

Hello and Happy 2017!  I apologize that I'm announcing my blog hop winner so late!  I unexpectantly  spent last weekend in the hospital. Not the way I wanted to spend New Years but things happen! We were supposed to travel to Louisville for a wedding but ended up in our pajamas at 5pm. My hubby made pancakes for dinner and we watched a few episodes of Parenthood on Netflix (our current binge). 

The winner of the Scrapbook.com Gift Certificate is Janet Zeppa!  Janet, I emailed you but in case you didn't receive it please email me at jhaggerty72@frontier.com

Congrats!  

I'm currently working on CHA projects but will be back to blogging asap.  :)

Have a great night!

For my page, I used up most of my remaining stash of Teresa Collins Urban Market collection!  I love love love this line! The navy blue with silver and grey are stunning!!  I scrapped a cute photo of my nephew, Deacon!  I layered up lots of patterns as well as a photo overlay under my picture!  

I had cut out these fun feathers from Silhouette on silver foil paper for another project but decided to not use them.  So, I thought they would look great to accent the silver and navy!  I added a cute "happy" Chipboard Sticker as well.  

I cut off the bottom portion of one of the Urban Market Tags and had it peek out from under my photo. I also used one of Teresa's Signature Essential Silver Enamel Dots, as well as a coordinating card stock sticker.  One of my favorite wooden veneer shapes are these stars from Studio Calico!  I love using them on my pages! 

Here I created a cluster of embellishments using the Decorative Brads, Enamel Dots, Decorative Tape, and Cardstock Sticker from Urban Market.  The chipboard letter is from the Pink Paislee Atlas Thickers in silver.  

At the top of my photo, I added more chipboard and stickers, as well as another cute wooden veneer star! I love to layer things if you can't tell! LOL  

Thanks for stopping by! I'm doing a giveaway of some Teresa Collins goodies today! Just be a follower of my blog and tell me what your current favorite collection to use (it can be new or old)!  I will choose a random winner Tuesday June 30th!  

Have a great day!  

Clear Scraps: So Lucky + giveaway

Hello friends! I'm so excited to announce that I've been asked to join the Clear Scraps design team again! Susan and Jim are such great people and I love their products!  After seeing them at the show this January, I realized how much I missed them and Clear Scraps! And a big shout out to

"Pinky" Cristal Hobbs, our DT coordinator! I was so happy to meet her in person finally (although I am kicking myself for not getting a photo of us together!) Pinky is an awesome person! 

 

Today, I have a layout up on the Clear Scraps blog using a few fun products! 

 

 

Chevrons are one of my favorite shapes and I love using the 12 inch Chevron Mascil!  I used some Dylusions spray ink in Lemon Zest and lightly misted over my cardstock. I concentrated in only a few areas but you can go as light or dark as you want.  And another wonderful thing about the Mascils is that they stay in place so you always get a clean design when you are finished!

 

 

To accent, I used one of the Clear Shape Small Stars. I first colored with Ranger Alcohol Ink in Butterscotch. After drying, I used Teresa Collins' modeling paste and the 6 inch Polka Dot Mascil over the top. As you see, it didn't come out perfectly but that's ok!  It makes it unique :) 

 

Here is a close up of a few of the stickers and brads from Simple Stories' A Charmed Life collection. 

 

I used the coordinating letter stickers for my title and added a fun green arrow to accent.

 

 

Now for the fun part!   To celebrate being back with Clear Scraps, I want to giveaway one of the Mascils I used on my page: the 6 inch Polka Dot!   All you need to do is comment telling me your Clear Scraps product!  A random winner will be chosen Sunday March 8th!  Good luck and thank you so much for stopping by! 

 

 

Have a wonderful day!

Thanks to everyone who played along!! 



Chic Tags Fall Exclusive Kit + giveaway!

Hello...today I'm up on the Chic Tags blog with a fun, easy technique using the Fall Exclusive Kit and a Chic Tags cut file.   Have you ever thought about using a die cut as a mask? Well, that's what I did to create a fun background on my cardstock!  

 

 

 

And here is the after effect!  I used a bit of spray ink from Tattered Angels. You can make it as light or dark as you prefer.  

 

 And here is my layout! I used some papers from October Afternoon's Apple Cider as well.  I just love the colors of the Fall Exclusive Kit!  The blue is a great accent color!

 

I used this "Thankful" 3x4 Journaling card for my title. I paired it with a pumpkin wood veneer shape.

 

Also, Exclusive Fall Flair are available!  I made a cluster of embellishments with the "Give Thanks" die cut as well as a leaf wood shape.  You can also spy one of the Journaling Cards underneath. 

 

More die cuts as well as wood veneers!  I also used a Happy Place Phrase Tag for journaling!

 

Thanks for stopping by today! I want to give away some Chic Tags Fall Exclusive goodies!  Tell me what you are thankful for this year and I will pick a random winner Sunday November 30th!

Have a great day!

 

 

 

 



Chic Tags giveaway winner!

 

 

Hey friends!  Sorry for my delay on announcing a winner for the Chic Tags giveaway I had last week!  I spent a long weekend down in the Lake of the Ozarks with my girlfriends from high school.  It was a much needed getaway!  We had so much fun...lots of laughs and reminiscing!  Love these ladies so much!   It was nice to forget about schedules and housework! 

 

 

 

 

Yesterday also was the five year anniversary of my mom's passing. This year seemed a little easier, but I think being away really helped.  Honestly, I don't think I'll ever fully heal from losing my mom. But, I have comfort in knowing I will see her again one day. 

 

Ok, I've blabbed enough...the winner of the giveway is Rhonda Nickol! 

 

Please email me at JHaggerty72@frontier.com so I can send you your goodies!

 

 

 



Winner! Winner! Chicken Dinner!

Today I just wanted to announce winners of two giveaways I had recently.  The first is my scraplift challenge winner for last month's Sketch N Scrap Birthday Bash! 

 

Shelby Marks has won the Fancy Pants "Be Different" paper pack!  Here is her adorable layout!

 

 

And the winner of the Teresa Collins Xyron Stapler is Marcia Dehn Nix!
