Blog Award & Showing off....

Here is a beautiful blog award from Scrapping Mom that I got! Thanks girl! You are so kind! The rules for this award are that I must list five things I love and then pass it along to five other people.
Things I love in no particular order:
1. I love making things with scraps and creating things that are beautiful or funky and cool.
2. I am a 70's child at heart (even though I was born in '84). I love all things retro and any kind of 70's music!
3. I love to go on shopping trips with my mom and SIL to St. Louis. We have such a great time hanging out, just us girls.
4. I love watching my son play when he thinks no one is looking. It is so funny to hear the things he says and hear him talking to his toys. :)
5. I love going to the dirt track races. My parents own a machine shop where they build race engines for Late Models, Open wheel modifieds and drag cars. I love the smell of the dirt mixed with the alcohol in the gasoline burning off in the exhaust. I also love the rumble it puts in your body when you're sitting in the stands and the weird way it messes with the rhythm of your heart. It's exillarating.

Ok now for those who I am passing this blog candy on to:
1. Lindsay (the Frugal Crafter) -- I love her blog because no matter what she posts, she always has either a freebie or a great tip for crafters. I also love that she does so many different kinds of crafts, not just cards or scrapbooking, but jewelry and furniture decorating! Wow!
2. Lora (The Scrapbook Lady)- I love her blog because she so generously devotes so much time to creating fabulous svg files to give away to anyone who comes along. She also isn't afraid to try new things. She recently just started turning some of her svgs into digi stamps! Go girl! Way to be innovative!
3. Rowena (Crafts by Rowena)- I love her blog because she's always sharing her talents with scrapbooking techniques, sharing tutorials, sketches and svg files!
4. Brittany (Brittany's SVG Files)- I love her blog because she's always coming up with new and fabulous svg files for us to use for free! Thanks Brittany!
5. Dawn (Lost in Paper Scraps)-- I love love love Dawn's blog! She is such a talented artist! She doodles out these adorable digi stamps that she gives away for free and she's always showing off her talents with scraping and card making! Keep up the good work Dawn!


Now, I just had to show off this awesome card that was done by Katie at Creations by K8. She used this past Thursday's freebie, the drippy goo border on her card! It looks fabulous girl!

Week 11 of Digi Freebie Search + Freebie Thursday!

It's week 11 of the digi freebie search with the Lindsay's Stamp Stuff DT and it's almost over! As always, Lindsay has designed a special stamp for one of us on the design team. On Thursdays, one lucky DT member will have her special stamp available to download free for a whole week.


This pretty little card was made using Lindsay's Primative Flower Stamp. It's only a $1.00 folks! I'v actually had this one colored for a while now, but it has taken me a little longer to find inspiration for a card to do with it. However, I saw Lindsay's free Card SVG on her blog and I cut it using SCAL and it just seemed to fit with this doodle!
Don't forget to check out the links below to see who has the freebie this week!

Now! On to your Freebie Thursday! It's a good one this week! I really like these. Actually, I can't take credit. I didn't really make these from scratch this week, I just converted some online images. These are three punches that are from Martha Stewart designs. I've been seeing some of you make cards using the drippy goo punch and I just loved it, so I figure we could cut them with our cricuts! So here they are!
