A post-it-note holder make n’ take! :)

Happy Thursday night ladies! I hope everyone had a great day today! Busy day here, oldest dd is sick, youngest dd is teething like mad, etc.. so not much time to scrap but I did manage to squeeze in some time to make a post-it-note holder from Michy’s class last night at Lil’ Scrappers! Wasn’t able to participate last night so wanted to finish it today… it’s a cute and easy little project! If you’d like to see the step by step tutorial you can find it here:

Paper Crafts Gallery Idol Top 10!! 2 Sketches 4 You & a toot!! :)

Good morning ladies!! It’s an absolutely gorgeous day today here.. sun is shining.. fluffy white clouds in the bright blue sky, and kids are all in good moods so far! LOL! Gotta love that.. I’m going to make my blog post here for you, then head out for a few hours with the girls! Too nice of a day to be sitting in here doing housework… haha!!

First i’m going to start with my Paper Crafts Gallery Idol Top 10 card!! I really wanted to do something different than my ultra feminine baby card from the last round, so decided to go with *scrumptious* Chatterbox paper, and make a card in the shape of a flower! This weeks theme was to use a quote… I found this quote on the net and fell in love with it… I think it’s absolutely true!!

“Where flowers bloom, so does hope.” Lady Bird Johnson.
