Your Lucky Day!!

More mix than match!!
I had these jars sitting around for quite awhile and today i felt like altering them!
I plan on using them eventually when i have my big open house sale in late November!

I plan on filling them with something and i need some trippy ideas! Can you envision anything in these? I would really appreciate any ideas and to show my appreciation i will send a small rak to someone at random! Looking forward to seeing some funky ideas!
I had to do a quick edit here: I got an email from a friend who said " Why dont you fill the jars with bright condoms"!! LMAO!! Thank you Dianne for making my day!

My lucky day!!

The crop at Scrapadilly was so fun and inspirational! The games and challenges were fun to do, not to mention the friendly bantering between the contestants!

I was lucky enough to win the second prize and i tote-ally love it!

One of the challenges was to "scraplift from someone in the gallery" and another was to create a shaped card! I did the reindeer card at a crop at The Scrapping Bug!

I love taking part in crops as they tend to take me beyond the "norm" of scrapbooking!

get your crop on!

There's no excuse for being bored this weekend! Crop's are cropping up everywhere! Come join me in my crop circles this weekend! The prizes are amazing!

Lot's going on in the city! This month is the ScrapCity Store Grand Opening and we will be celebrating with a Virtual Crop! Step inside the forum to find out more details...

Summer Weddings!

Ever since i developed a passion for scrapbooking my other crafts have taken a seat at the back of the bus! I was so grateful when my friend asked me to create a bouquet for her daughters wedding! I added the yellow flower to symbolize friendship! In any relationship friendship is important! I wish Tammy a day filled with all the blessings love can hold!
