Today I started my day early because I needed to take Hilo to the vet for one of his booster shots. Afterwards, I spent the whole day SHOPPING! I just got home about an hour ago. I’m super exhausted, but I can now cross off a bunch of things on the “Sarah needs to do this list”. Wrapping gifts is definitely one of those things on my list that does NOT have a line through it. YIKES! I better get to it because Christmas is right around the corner.
Because I was out all day shopping, I didn’t get a chance to craft in my scrap room, but I do have TONS to share today. Hope you’ll take a couple of minutes to check out my work.
That Scrappy Girl: I know I’ve mentioned this before, but this month’s kit is filled with a bunch of Pink Paislee and Elle’s Studio goodies. On top of all of the cards, gift tags, and mini albums I’ve created with this kit, I also created two layouts.
Kiki Art: This week, I volunteered to be in charge of an altered item project to share, so I decided to embellish a frame that was sitting around in my craft room. To find more details on this project, visit the Kiki Art blog for more information.
Imaginisce: Earlier this week, I announced a giveaway for some “sweet” stuff. Remember, that you have until Friday to enter. Anyway, I wanted to share more of the Sweet Cheri line. Here’s another layout I recently finished:
Also, in this layout, I used those cute little flower embellishments from Goshery. Cute stuff, yeah!?
Oh, and I never raved about some upcoming CUTENESS from Imaginisce. Check out these two new lines coming to stores near you:
Scooter's Vacation
Lucy Bird
Personally, I’ve had my eye on Scooter’s Vacation. Hmmm… I wonder why!? *wink* Is it because of the cute dog? Yes! Is it because it’s perfect paper for vacation photos? Yes! Is it because it’s cute? Yes! I can’t wait to show everyone my upcoming projects with these brand new lines; you’re going to love it all!
…and just because it’s the season of giving, I thought I would host another giveaway.
This time, it’s a RAK giveaway with at least a $25 value, probably more. Most likely, it’s going to be stuff from my stash that I have never used. If you want to be entered into this giveaway, leave a comment to this post telling me how you found my blog (i.e. was it a long time ago on someone’s site? was my blog linked to a forum?). You have until Saturday, December 19th, to play along! Share the giveaway on your blog, facebook, twitter, etc. and I’ll enter your name THREE times into the random drawing. Make sure to let me know if and where you shared the news.
You never know, I might just decide to draw TWO lucky winners instead of just one. 
Spreading the holiday cheer,
sarah.

When someone asks me, “What’s your favorite car?!” or “What’s your dream car?”, I don’t know how to respond. I’m not really picky when it comes to cars. In all honesty, I just want a car that gets me from point A to point B. When I saw that TAAFOMT was going to be doing a favorite car challenge, I thought, “What the heck am I going to scrap?”
Well, me on a seahorse of course! Ummm, yeah….
You have until 12/30 to play along, so head on over to TAAFOMT, and make sure to let us know what’s your favorite car.
…and as promised, here are some pictures from this weekend. I didn’t take that many because I wasn’t feeling well.
She used to be smaller than this snowman! Kids grow up too fast.
"What do I have on my nose?!"
"Do I have to get up?! It's too cold!"
A tier of desserts -- my kind of picture!
This picture cracks me up. They were running around the house like that!
…and don’t forget that if you want to be eligible to win some fun Imaginisce stuff, check out the previous post!
Happy Tuesday!
Hugs,
sarah.

Christmas is just around the corner, but I decided to take a break from working on Christmas projects. Instead, I thought it would be fun to work with some of the latest from Imaginisce, the Sweet Cheri Line. It’s incredibly cute! If you don’t believe me, check out this layout I’ve recently created with this line:
Cute, don’t you think?!
If you want to get your hands on some of this cuteness, comment to this post by December 17th, Thursday, by 11:59 pm. I’ll draw a random name on Friday, and the winner will get a “sweet” Imaginisce prize.
**Other updates:
Yes, I’m still battling this nasty flu. 
…and I’m pretty sure that the rain this weekend didn’t help my “Sarah needs to get better plan”. Also, when you have a mother throwing a work Christmas party for 70+ people and she needs you to decorate and wrap gifts, you don’t get much time to recover. *sigh*
Oh, and it didn’t help that I decided to go see The Princess and the Frog today, which by the way, was a pretty good Disney movie. Thanks, Scott for taking all of us to see it!
I know it sounds like I had a crummy weekend, but surprisingly, it was a GOOD weekend.
- I got word that another one of my projects is going to be published in an upcoming magazine. Wahooooo!
- I went to go see a movie.
- GOOD FOOD!
- Got tons of happy mail from friends! Thank you especially to Chris, Hanneke, and Julie! Love you gals!
I promise I’ll be back with something more interesting, and don’t forget to comment to be entered into the giveaway!
Here’s to another week of life.
Happy Monday folks!
sarah.
((Yes, I have pictures from this weekend, but I haven’t uploaded them yet.))

I managed to get sick again. What the heck?! Anyway, I’m on bed rest.
Bed rest includes scrapbooking, so I finished three layouts today.
This first layout is a digital hybird layout created with Kiki Art papers and some fun fonts. I love the colors of this paper line. Aren’t they such girly fun colors?!
These next two layouts were created just for fun. I used some of the sketches over at Sketchy Thursdays.
Using this sketch…
…I made this layout:
The second layout I used this sketch…
…and I made sure to follow these prompts: three patterned papers from three different lines (they can be the same manufacturer, just have to be from different collections), three groups of three different embellishments, and use this “vintage” Sketchy Thursdays sketch:
Thanks for looking at my recent layouts.
Back to bed rest and feeling icky sicky.
Hugs,
sarah.
