Jacksonbelle 12 Days of Christmas Blog Hop!

Welcome to day 12 of the Jacksonbelle 12 Days of Christmas! Today we have a super fun blog hop for all of you. The entire Jacksonbelle design team has created some gorgeous Christmas projects to share with you today! If you are just joining us, be sure to start at the very begining (Tobi's blog) so that you don't miss out on any of the fabulous projucts. Also, be sure to follow through the entire blog hop and leave a comment on each blog. There will be some fabulous October Afternoon blog candy given away on one of the blogs...but which one? It is a mystery! Be sure to leave a comment on every blog in the hop because you never know which blog will have the mystery candy!

For my card I used one of the adorable holiday Gillian F. Roberts stamps from Stampavie.

The next stop in the hop is the super talented Jimmi Mayo!

Oh and before I forget...ALL Inkadinkado stamps and stamp sets are 75% off in the Jacksonbelle store. They won't last long at those prices though. The sale is only valid on in stock items. Once these are gone they will not be restocked.

Lindsey is also having a pre-order of the new Basic Grey!

Thanks for stopping by today! I hope you all have a wonderful day!

It's Wednesday! That means it is time for another fun Wednesday Prettie Challenge and blog hop! This week our challenge comes from Prettie Mama herself!

One lucky challenge participant will win a $15 coupon to the Paper Pretties Boutique. Here are the challenge details:

I have to admit I have been a terrible scrapper the past year. I think I've maybe made a total of 6 pages. I am grossly behind on my kids books! Christie's challenge got my mind back in scrapping mode and I'm hoping to work on some pages after Christmas (I'm also going to give a try at digi scrapping thanks to some major inspiration from Christie's AMAZING digi pages! - when you go to her blog make sure you scroll down and check them out!).

For my 6x6 page I used Whiskers Sophia. The picture is from Halloween when Annabelle was 2 years old...she's 6 now. Where does the time go?

If you are just starting at my blog, head on over to Christie's blog to start from the beginning. You definitely won't want to miss any of the stops! If you are following the hop, the next stop after my blog is the blog of Prettie Girl Wendy Bond!

Thanks for stopping by today! I hope you all have a terrific day! We got 15 inches of snow last night with 2-4 more in the forecast for today so I can safely say we will not be going ANYWHERE today! I'm hoping to get the house clean and all of our stuff packed for our trip to Florida!

Postcard request

I have a slightly strange request today... My niece's 3rd grade class is writing letters to people around the country asking them to send post cards to their class. They are trying to get postcards from all 50 states. If any of you would be willing to send a postcard please send me an email (thlr2003@gmail.com) with your mailing address. The kids have to write a letter to each person asking for the postcard which is why I need your address. You would not need to send a postcard until you get the letter from her class. Thanks in advance to anyone willing to send one!

I hope you all have a wonderful day!

ETA: They have or will have postcards coming from the following states thus far: CA, AK, FL, WI, CO, WA, OR, OH, MI, TX, LA, NC, AL, ID, NV and KS. They still need the rest of the states!

Paper Pretties December Release Previews Continue!

This is my 2nd blog post of the day. To see my LPS Monday challenge card please scroll down to previous post.

Welcome to another preview for the Paper Pretties December Release! We had so much fun last month using a well known song for our peeks that we thought we'd try it again! And.. since we love giving things away, we'll have the same rules for prizes as last month: Each day two or three of the Prettie Girls will upload their preview cards to the Paper Pretties gallery...If you stop by the Pretties Gallery and leave that Prettie Girl a comment on her card, you'll have a chance to win the new set being previewed - make sense?
The contest will end December 2nd and the winners will be posted on the Paper Clip. You can find the link to the specific cards in the Paper Pretties gallery on each blog post.
This month, in keeping with Christmas we've chosen a well known Christmas carol - Winter Wonderland as our preview inspiration! Today there are previews from Christie, Wendy and myself. Be sure you stop by and leave a comment in the gallery for each card for your chance to win!

Today I am lucky enough to give you an early peak of the upcoming January SOTM. I adore every single Sophia image and today's preview is no different...Under the Sea Sophia is ADORABLE!!!!

Just like my card I previewed on Thursday... I sort of forgot about using the Winter Wonderland lyrics as inspiration when I made my card. Today's card was a lot easier to find a lyric for though..."A Beautiful Sight"....Sophia is definitely a beautiful sight!!!
I colored my main image with Copic markers and added some glitter. When we were in Florida last December I collected a bunch of teeny tiny sea shells that I thought I could maybe use "someday" on a card..."someday" finally arrived! I thought the little orange scallop shell worked great with this image. The designer paper is My Mind's Eye.
Be sure to stop by the Paper Pretties gallery and leave a comment on my card!

Also...Don't forget to stop on by the party in the Paper Pretties forum tomorrow night at 7pm CST when all the stamps will be released for sale.

Thanks for stopping by today! I hope you all have a terrific day!

Paper Pretties December Preview!

Welcome to our Prettie Peeks for the Paper Pretties December Release! We had so much fun last month using a well known song for our peeks that we thought we'd try it again! And.. since we love giving things away, we'll have the same rules for prizes as last month: Each day two or three of the Prettie Girls will upload their preview cards to the Paper Pretties gallery...If you stop by the Pretties Gallery and leave that Prettie Girl a comment on her card, you'll have a chance to win the new set being previewed - make sense?

This month, in keeping with Christmas we've chosen a well known Christmas carol - Winter Wonderland as our preview inspiration! Today there are previews from Christie, Jennifer and myself. Be sure you stop by and leave a comment in the gallery for each card for your chance to win!

The first December set that I am previewing is called "Unknown Blessings". I LOVE this set! The two mailbox images are super fun and there are also some fun sentiments to go along with them.

To be totally honest, I sort of forgot about using the Winter Wonderland lyrics as inspiration when I made my card. It was a bit hard to find a lyric that fit the card after the fact, but I think it just might fit with "In the lane, snow is glistening"....my thinking is there are probably mailboxes "in the lane" and the bling on my card is "glistening", LOL.

Be sure to head on over to the Paper Pretties gallery and leave a comment on MY CARD for a chance to win this super fun set!

Also...Don't forget to stop on by the party in the Paper Pretties forum on December 1st at 7pm CST when all the stamps will be released for sale.

Oh and one more thing....Paper Pretties is having a Thanksgiving sale now through Sunday...30% off all Thanksgiving, Christmas and Winter stamps!

Thanks for stopping by today! I hope you all have a Happy Thanksgiving!!

A Prettie Challenge and Blog Hop!

It's Wednesday! That means it is time for another funWednesday Prettie Challenge and blog hop! This week our challenge comes from Prettie Mama herself! Christie's challenge is to use the picture below as an inspiration piece. We would love for you to ink up your Paper Pretties stamps and play along with us. One lucky challenge participant will win a $15 coupon to the Paper Pretties Boutique. Here are the challenge details:

How to Enter: make a card using the provided sketch and any Paper Pretties stamp set(s) you have. Upload the card to the Paper Pretties gallery. Please include it in the Weekly Challenges album and use keyword PWC75.
Deadline: 6pm EST Tuedsay, December 1st.
Prize: $15.00 coupon to the Paper Pretties Boutique

Here is the inspiration piece:

I used the teal from the photo as the inspiration for my card. When I was looking through the Paper Pretties Gliding By gallery I saw a GORGEOUS card made by Prettie Girl Frances that I just had to CASE. Check out Frances' card HERE.

Here is my card:

I colored Gliding By Sophia with Copic markers and then added some Sparkly Fluff to her ear muffs and the fluffy thing on her arm. The snowflakes are made out of fast air drying polymer clay. I rolled the clay as flat as I could and let it dry for a while. I then used my Martha Stewart snowflake punch and punched the snowflakes. I let them dry for 24 hours longer and then added the rhinestones. It was my first time working with clay but I thought they turned out pretty good.

If you are just starting at my blog, head on over to Christie's blog to start from the beginning. You definitely won't want to miss any of the stops! If you are following the hop, the next stop after my blog is the blog of Prettie Girl Wendy Bond!

Thanks for stopping by today! I hope you all have a terrific day! Be sure to stop back tomorrow for the first Paper Pretties December release preview!

SPAM comments?

Is anyone else having problems with an unusually high number of SPAM comments lately? I have been getting several per day and was just curious if anyone else was. I would hate to have to add the word verification back but I may have to if this doesn't end.

Hope you are all having a great weekend. Be sure to stop by tomorrow for a fabulous Little Paper Shop challenge!

New Moon Blog Hop!

I had so much fun playing along with the Twilight Tuesday anniversary blog hop a few weeks ago that when I saw they were doing a New Moon hop I knew I had to join in the fun again! If you are just joining in, be sure to start back at the very begining (Twilight Tuesday blog) to take in the whole hop! If you got here from Donna's blog you are on the right path!

I have to tell you that New Moon was NOT my favorite book in the Twilight series. The first time I read New Moon I nearly ruined my book by soaking it with tears. There are several pages that are warped and wrinkled beyond repair from tears being dripped all over them. Even after reading and/or listening to the audiobook 6 times the heartbreak when Edward leaves does not get any easier for me. Every time I start to get close to that part in the book I get a huge lump in my throat. As I've clearly expressed before, I am forever Team Edward! When I read New Moon I was still on the Twilight Edward high (I had just read Twilight the day before - I was one of those 4 books in 4 days girls) and had no tolerance for anyone else. Then New Moon Edward ripped out my heart. I was so mad at Edward for leaving and then so mad at Jacob for...nothing...I was just mad. I wasn't thrilled about Jacob in New Moon..I actually did not like him one bit. BUT....after about my 4th time through the book I started to warm up to Jacob. I'm still team Edward but I can definitely tolerate Jacob. Since I showed my love for Edward in the anniversary hop I decided to show my like for Jacob in this one.
My card is simple because I figured Jacob wouldn't approve of a fancy, frilly card, LOL.

Thanks for stopping by today! Next stop on the hop is my stamping pal Jackie!

I hope you all have a wonderful day!

Jacksonbelle Goodies and some Organization!

Hello all! Just wanted to give everyone the heads up that Lindsey is giving away some AWESOME Jacksonbelle goodies to one lucky customer this month. Here are the details:

Exciting News!! Every order large or small from now until Nov. 30^th will be entered into a drawing to win this HUGE goodie bag from my store! (1 entry per order….you can order as many times as you like) 1 random winner will be chosen on December 1^st and will be announced on the store blog!

Includes 23 sheets of October Afternoon paper; 6 x 6 Eerie Paper Pad from Basic Grey; 6 x 6 Jolly by Golly and Early Bird Paper Pads, Wonderland Rubon’s and stickers from Cosmo Cricket; Rubon’s from Crate Paper; Yards of ribbon from May Arts; Brads, Bling, Rubon Tape and Chipboard Tags from Daisy D; Crocheted Flowers and Spring stamp from Imaginisce; Epoxy Frames from Making Memories; 2 wood stamps from Inkadinkado; 2 Cuttlebug Embossing folders from Provo Craft; Bling from Me and My Big Ideas; Felt Flowers from We R Memory Keepers; 3 Websters Pages Rubon’s; Flowers, 2 Transparency Sheets, Tape, Corner stamps, collage sheets and Bling from Prima; Crocheted flowers by Melody.

Now for some organizing...those of you who know me well know that I am a bit OCD when it comes to organizing my stamp room. Tom has even asked on several occasions if I stamp or just reorganize my room every day, LOL. Well, I thought I would share some pictures of my latest reorg project. I transferred all of my stamps that I stored in CD cases into the plastic binder storage system similar to the ones that Gina K sells (but these were a lot cheaper, Thanks for the heads up on that one Jess!) - (I now have about 300 empty CD cases if anyone wants them). I'm pretty happy with my stamp room now except for my ribbon storage. I hate my current ribbon storage system. Just last week I bought one of those huge MM wall shelving units that has ribbon storage but since we are planning on putting the house up for sale after the 1st of the year Tom doesn't want to put any holes in the wall so that will just have to wait until my next stamp room. Here are some pics of my newly organized space!



Hope you all have a great day!
