a pinterest challenge and a little giveway! :)

a few days ago,  my friend diane asked if i would join her and kimberly neddo, sasha farina and emily pitts in  a just-for-fun little pinterest inspiration challenge.  sounded like fun; so i said, "yes!"  kimberly found this image on pinterest.  the challenge is to use it as an inspiration.

before i show you my projects, let me link you up to the other girls.

onto what i did.  :)  i made a layout and a card.  both using CHAP from american crafts.  man!  i love that line.  fantastic!  i used the inspiration pretty literally.  i hope you enjoy!  :)

okay.... for the really fun part.  i decided to do a little bitty giveaway to go along with it.  so.  simply leave a comment below to be entered to win.  want an extra chance to win?  create your own project based on the inspiration piece and leave me a comment below linking me to your creation!  i am giving away some american crafts "spice" delights, elle's studio halloween bits and some mixtape from american crafts' nightfall line.  all items i LOVE and all items i have multiples of.  why not share rather than hoard?!  :)  so get busy!  the time to enter the giveaway ends november 27 (giving you a little extra time since thanksgiving is right around the corner!)  internationals are welcome.  :)

Pebbles Mix & Match

what?!  2 days in a row of posts?!  i know, i know!  lol!  seems like it is pure insanity here lately.  i have hardly scrapped (project life & gratitude album aside.)  that & troy was out of town and i spent the majority of my evenings watching the past 2 seasons of true blood on my hbo to go app.  (eek!  it was a lot of eric & i was lovin' it!)  i was a woman obsessed. 
so...  this layout and card was posted on the pebbles blog yesterday.  i actually made it right after i received the "with love" line.  ( i am IN love with that line btw!  definately a must have!)  i mixed the fresh goods line with the with love line. 

a SUPER quick and easy card.  (also uses a little sliver of paper from welcome christmas)

this one mixes "wtih love" and "fresh goods."  and a little bitty tag from bananafish studios.  :) 

                              

scrappy day!

so, this weekend, a couple of friends and i drove down to berkeley for an amy tangerine class at scrapbook territory.  we had fun working on a mini album (which i will share when i actually finish.  lol) & shopping and then lunch at pf changs.  (YUM!)

amy, amy, rachel & me

i know this has been out forever & i have copies of it.  but, it was fun to see my kid on the cover in the store.  on the shelf.  lol!
