I can't get enough of this silly pic! The photo was taken last October when I went to crop with my scrappy sisters in Memphis. This was a super silly pic made while we were at dinner! I've got a few other pics both scrapped and unscrapped from this event. I think I'll finish scrapping them next. Thanks so much for stopping by!

The first of many Thanks

I have loads of thank you cards I need to send, and I love how this one turned out, I made it from things lying on my scrap table. I should just do this more often, use what's left on the table. It's fun!

That doily is from a Lifestyle crafts die I've had for years and never cut. I cut the doily out of a white piece of American Crafts glitter paper that I picked up in a 6x6 pad from AC Moore. The Thank You stamp is from Waffle Flower crafts and the cork butterfly, wood veneer and white tag are from SpiegelMomScraps That Blue Paper is by Heidi Swapp (I'm pretty sure) and I had used it to make my Mother's Day card so it was still lying about on my desk.  Now to mail this one out!

Valentine Tag with a process video

I got a glorious new package from SpiegelMomScraps Etsy shop this week (use discount code Charity10 for 10% off your purchase).  I had a project in mind when I placed my order, then when the package came along with my dt goodies I had to sit down and MAKE something RIGHT THEN! And I filmed it!

So without further ado, here is my project:

I just had to use one of those Large Tags.

Valentine Wreath 2015

Today's post is a video project I did for SpiegelMomScraps Etsy Shop. If you like what you see on the video, you can use my coupon code: Charity10 for 10% off your supplies and make this project, or a version of it yourself. If you do use this project for inspiration I'd love for you to share it with me. I'm Scrapfaire on IG and you can use #IBScrapfaire and I'll see it easily! (that stands for inspired by scrapfaire)

These are the teaser pics I shared on IG, Facebook and Twitter:


The before:

I didn't hate this wreath, it was made as a Hanukkah decoration for the door in 2013 and I removed the Happy Hanukkah portion when the season was over, it worked.

I started seeing yarn wreaths on pinterest and have a pile of yarn I have collected (mostly from freecycle) and it needed to be used in a project. I LOVE these colors together.

After I went through my DT supplies I came out with these as possible decorations for my wreath.

This is a closeup of the focal area I LOVE how this turned out!!

And for the Process:
