Happy St. Patrick's Day! {cards}

Here are two cards I made for St. Particks day. I wanted them to be clean and simple :)

Scrapbook Retreat 2 (& Amythest 3a)

Here are the next 3 pages that I finished at my scrapbook retreat last weekend.

Here is the sketch for Amethyst 3a by the talented guest designer Melissa Dehne for Scrapbook Steals.

Scrapbook Retreat (& Amethyst 2)

I was able to go to a great scrapbooking retreat this past weekend with my mom and a group of awesome ladies that I have met a few times before.
We had a lot of fun over the three days we were together, and got a lot of scrapping done! (Although I didn't get anywhere near the 22 pages that one friend finished!)
Here are three of the pages I did. I'll post another three tomorrow, and the last one when I get it finished!

 I will probably add some journalling to this page, but I can't decide where. The first picture is our family pic from '96, then we re-created it in 2011- second pic (that would be why my dad is holding my "little" brother!) And the bottom pic is the "real" family picture from 2011 :)

Here is Kristy Lee's sketch for Amethyst 2 for Scrapbook Steals

CMT: Polygon Crazy!

Today's Challenge Me Tuesday at Practical Scrappers is to use polygons!
I decided to make a card using hexagons.

Link With Love Blog Hop {Giveaway Closed}

Thanks for playing along! This giveaway is now closed!
***If you came here from Carolina's blog, you are on the right track. If not, please go to Practical Scrappers for the hop instructions and start from there!***

Welcome to the Practical Scrappers "Linking with Love" Blog Hop!  We believe it is important to always give credit when it is due to another crafter.  For this unique hop all of our design team members used the same inspiration piece to create their project.  Each of them will make an example of themselves as to how to properly "Link with Love" and credit the inspiration.  We'll be running the hop thru Noon EST on Sunday - so you have plenty of time to get thru it!

Liz Qualman created this beautiful layout and we have all used it for inspiration.  Each of us will tell what part we took our inspiration from.  The whole hop will culminate at Liz's blog where she'll provide us with a new sketch for inspiration.

Here is my page. I used a sketch of Liz's layout for my inspiration. I loved the bright, fun colours and the border of circles, so I included them on my page as well.

Many of the designers are providing prizes at their stop and Practical Scrappers is providing a prize for one person who becomes a follower at each stop (for all the details head over to Practical Scrappers).
