Scraps Blog Hop!

Hi there! I had to access a different computer to blog again-WHEW! I have 2 posts waiting but for now-the SCRAPS Blog Hop! We've ALL got scraps-whether a scrapbooker or card maker-if you sniff paper the way I do-you've got em! Today we are blessed to share inspiration from 30 different blogs showcasing the use of SCRAPS! WOO HOO! Thank you so much Jennifer for taking the time to put this together for us (you can click her name to be taken to her blog and begin, otherwise-you should be arriving from Angie)! By the time you're done, you're sure to have your pretty paper pieces out to use again-so why not dust them off for a NECKLACE?!

Not only will I continue to work for and teach at Scraps Galore but I am honored to teach at a brand new LSS opening THIS Friday evening! My friend Charlene is the owner and I wanted to create something special for her to commemorate the event of her new baby, The Hen House Paperie!

The piece I created has 2 options from which to hang-a black solid necklace or silver nylon ribbon! I began with a 2x2 frame and glass from Ranger. I printed out THH logo and adhered it to the red mat scrap and then to the sparkly blue Doodlebug scrap. I used a SU border punch for the white strip scrap on the side, with Bazzill stitching. There's a red flower at the top by the charm and baubles and I added bling on top of the piece once it was behind the glass.

Unfortunately, I created it a bit too thick and I could not place glass in the back. It is layered and matted with the same scraps with white date rub-ons highlighted by the blue sparkly photo corner also cut from a scrap.

I gave this to her at the Chicks DT meeting last night and she LOVED it! I can't wait to see her wearing it at the grand opening!

And just in case you MAAAAY not have your OWN scraps-I'm giving away a BUNDLE! Over 1 pound of cardstock and pattern paper scraps, with rub ons, alphabet stamps, twisted flowers AND buttons (not ALL pictured here)! You must be a Fabulous Friend (follower) of my blog here and leave me a message telling me what you consider a scrap (does that 1/2" by 1/4" piece REALLY count) and/or your favorite scrap story (yes-my friends have dug through my 'trash' to 'save' my scraps)! I'll choose 1 random winner and announce their name here on Monday!

Now it's time to view some more scrap-piration at your next blog stop with my SUPER STELLAR, sweet friend Jenny , by clicking HERE! I sure hope you'll visit again soon and stay awhile. Thank you so much for allowing me to be a part of your day!

Looking ahead: This week you can expect the final announcement of the $50 prize package for the most entries to the 1,000 follower contest, and exciting Amy Chomas project with Quick Quotes and an entire post about the retreat I'[m involved in benefiting the Gynecological Cancer Awareness Project! PLUS-Mu July project for Patches of Pink, my first ever Tally Scrapper kit and MORE!
