Have you seen the 12 Days of Christmas over at Zutter?! For the next 12 days, the Zutter Zisters and the OZZ plan on sharing some inspiration and challenges to spread the holiday cheer. Join us over at the message board to check it out!
…and while I’m rambling about Zutter, I wanted to share a project I made using my Bind It All with some Urban Lily products.
Okay that’s all! 
Enjoy!
Hugs,
sarah.

Yup, you read that right. Gloria is still being spoiled because it was her birthday last week. Our good friend, Jennie, came over and brought some cake for all of us to enjoy. It was DELICIOUS stuff! Thanks again, Jennie.
That above picture of me cracks me up! The chocolate pieces on the cake looked like tongues, so I had to put it in mouth to make it look like one. Weird?! Gross?! I know, but that’s me.
A couple of days ago, Memories Live On wanted me to create something using some of the Christmas line from We R Memory Keepers. I loved the colors in this line because they are not traditionally Christmas colors.
…and a layout I created for fun with scraps I had leftover from October Afternoon’s papers:
I think this post has to be one of my shortest posts ever, but I just wanted to check in real quick. I have to get back to making stuff for the holiday craft boutique. It’s not even December, and I’ve already had two orders and one custom order.
I’ll be back soon!
Hugs,
sarah.

I can’t believe it’s Sunday morning already?! The weekend always seem to go by way too fast. I know, I know… I say that all the time, but I’m just saying!
Last week was Gloria’s 26th birthday. We didn’t do too much this year because she’s been off and on sick for the past couple of weeks.
I made her a BIG cupcake/SMALL cake.
They waited to get some cake, but they failed. No cake for the pups!
I did manage to surprise her though. We had people come visit on Friday, and she had no idea what I had planned. I’m actually surprised I kept it a secret. 
Now, time for scrappity scrap updates. As usual, I have been busy doing this and that, and this and that. It’s so much fun creating especially when you are on a roll.
These Are A Few of My Favorite Things just posted Challenge #9: Favorite Decades! I thought this was such a cute challenge. …so what decade did I pick, you ask?! Well, duh! The 80s!
…so what’d you think?! I don’t think this one is much of a “Sarah style” layout, but I do love the bright colors. I really did like making this layout though. It brought back some fun childhood memories. With that in mind, please head on over to the TAAFOMFT blog to check out what the rest of the DT came up with. I’m sure it’ll give you a chuckle here and there just reading about the past decades.
This next layout was created just for fun. Again, it’s not very “Sarah style,” but I love the elegance of it. *sigh, swoon*
The following layout was completed with a challenge over at Nikki Sivils’ blog. Her papers are so adorable!
Also, just wanted to thank everyone who congratulated me this past week. It really does mean a lot.
Happy Sunday, and hope everyone has a fantastic week. I finished the first set of Christmas cards, now off to work on the second batch. Holy smokes, I can’t believe Christmas is sooooo soon! Are you ready?! I’m not! haha.
This week’s gonna be BUSY for me.
Hugs,
sarah.
People have been asking me, “How in the heck do you keep up with all of your design teams?!” Well, I’ll let everyone in on my little secret, but make sure not to tell anyone. Just kidding!
…so the secret is — I use the good ol’ calendar. Google Calendar to be exact. I make sure to add all projects due, blog post write ups, and anything else I need to work on to the calendar. I have reminders to keep me on top of things; otherwise, I’d be a complete mess, lol! To make things even easier, I try to work ahead. ((…and like I mentioned before, I’m a FAST scrapper. As in, I scrap a layout in about 30 minutes or less.))
Anyway, with that in mind, I’ve got more good news to share. I made it onto the Urban Swank design team!!! This was another surprise for sure considering there is so much talent out there.
In case you don’t know about Urban Swank, they distribute Urban Lily products. Super cute stuff, people! …and on top of that, they are teamed up with Helmar Adhesives. I love me some adhesives, but then again, what scrapper doesn’t?!
If you’ve got the time, also please check out the rest of the selected Swanky Gurls! They’re amazingly creative. Check ‘em out, and leave them some love too!
Make sure to check back. I’ve got more to share.
Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!
Hugs,
sarah.
