To all my crafty talented friends.

So I'm having a lot of fun with the scrapbook blog Amy and I are doing. It is so fun to see the different projects even if we are usually together when things get made, but not ALL the time. :) Anyway I was so excited when Shelley sent me her cute banner to post on the blog that I thought I would officially invite you to send any/all of your cute layouts cards, decor or any other cute papercraft projects you do. Just email them to us at thehappyscraps@yahoo.com We've been doing weekly challenges (although I am 2 weeks behind on mine), I like having the challenge to do things that I probablly would not typically do.

I posted this on the scrapbook blog, but here are some frames I made as baptism gifts for some little friends of ours along with the card I made to go with it. They were a huge hit and I'm soooo excited to do K's here in a few months.

New Blog

I've been thinking for quite sometime that I was going to start a scrapbooking blog to put some of my pages, card and other paper crafts that I love doing. Well I never got around to doing it so when Amy invited me to join her darling scrapbook blog I was sooooo exctied. She is so talented and a huge inspiration to me. Anytime I am stuck on a page she always has a fresh new perspective and great ideas. Any of you scrappers out there reading this go check out or blog, and feel free to join us in the weekly challenges that we started. The challenge this week was to make a card using only scraps. It was a lot of fun and so nice to use up some of those papers I've been holding on to forever. If you'd like to see the cards I made go check it out.

Scrapbook heaven

Today was the Phoenix CKC Scapbook Convention and a huge Bazzill warehouse sale so of course Amy and I just had to go. First we went to the Bazzill sale, then lunch and the the convention. I had soooooo much fun. I forgot to take my camera but here is a look at some of the amazing deals I got. I got so much stuff for soooo cheap. I came in way below my budget, Yay!

I love, love LOVE Bazzill cardstock, especially for making cards. These packs of paper were .50 each. That is a screaming good deal I just had to stock up.

I love these button and they are typically 4 bucks at the scrapbook school. I got these for 2 bucks. Don't you just love all the cordinating colors.

Here are some fun little brads and ribbon I got for $1.00

They had this one dollar booth just like the dollar store and I found these awesome chipboard letters. Gonna have to do a cute page with these!

More dollar section stuff. Aren't these tiny brads sooooo cute!!!

Now I've got to get some things made with all my fun new supplies and post them on here. Thanks Amy for going with me and for the great time I love how we love all the same things. It's soooo fun to shop/scrap with you. I especially love how you get excited about the silly little things I do (like ribbon in a cup) ha ha :) And Thank you Ryan and Tom for being so sweet about us getting out and getting a nice break. (we were gone ALL day) You are such good daddies!!! I can't wait for next year.
