hush little one door hanging

I made this cute little door hanging for the Vintage Plum Hang It challenge last week. I love how soft and pretty it turned out. Of course, I have a three-year-old boy so I have no immediate use for this, it was just really fun to make.

Congrats to Heidi who did win that challenge. Check out her Hang It entry here. Love those lamps from Unity Stamps. Perfect!!!

vintage plum june kit love

Hello! Today I am posting the page I made using the June kit from Vintage Plum. It's called Alphabet Soup and it had some great pieces this month. I'm way behind on playing around with it, so this is all I have so far.

I cut the heck outta that kit! I can't remember the last time I hand cut so many pieces from one sheet of paper (the Girl Friday sheet from Cosmo Cricket was butchered! So much good stuff on that sheet)!

I pop-dotted almost everything. I'm not sure if you can tell in the pictures, but there is a great 3-D quality to this page that I love.

If you need a new, fun kit to play with, cruise on over to VP, there's some fun stuff over there.

Yeah, I finally used my Vintage Plum kit from May. I know... I've only had it for a few days, but there were so many great things in there that I had to use it fast. Here is the page that I have done so far.

I'll post more from this kit as I use it. Some great pieces to check out individually if you don't get the kit:
Hambly Animal Rub Ons
Sassafras Lass Anthem paper (Ticket to Freedom)
Sassafras Lass Vintage Yummy Sweet Treats stickers
Jenni Bowlin Brown Chalkboard Alphabet stickers

good to be back!

I was on vacation for the past 9 days in NC visiting with family. There was no cell reception, no access to computers and a lot of food—good times!

While I was traveling, my mom and I did a lot of craft shopping. I found some great deals at Tuesday Morning (a Fiskars guillotine cutter for $40, marked down from $139), and lots of little scrapbook shops and antique shops. It was a great week for mom and me!


When I got home, I was greeted by my Vintage Plum kit box (yeah!!) I can't wait to dig into this kit. If you haven't found VP yet, take a look now. Lots to do there, great people and best of all, wonderfully different monthly kits.

thanks vintage plum!

Earlier in the week I shared a Mother's Day card that I made.

Well, I had made that card for the NSD challenge at Vintage Plum. And... I won that challenge! The prize is some really cute handmade tags.

Thanks Vintage Plum! You all are a great community with fun, new and fresh challenges. Just wanted to share my joy and VP love!

To add to my good day yesterday, I won the random drawing for the Video Warehouse Walk at 2Peas. Not much involved there except that I realized I should have played the lottery on Tuesday!
