This week’s Dare is to TRY THIS! Not great at sewing, but love all of the projects with all of the bunched up ribbon? Here is a technique for you to try out!

I ran across this Technique shared by Wendy on her blog… check it out HERE.

All you do is take a piece of ribbon and add adhesive all the way along the backside of the ribbon (Wendy suggests ATG Tape). Then you just place the end down at your starting point, fold and press down, fold and press down, fold and press down… well you get the picture! Now let’s try it!

If you use this on any of your projects, just come back here and add a link to your project in my comments. Looking forward to all of your creations!

Today just so happens to be my 25th birthday, so I am incorporating it into this week’s Scrap or Dare. This would normally be posted on a Tuesday but I am running a bit behind. Hope you will play along!

This week, I DARE YOU to Scraplift any of my Cards! Feel free to take a look through my Gallery (above) or just through my Card posts and find a card of mine that you would like to scraplift. Obviously this doesnt mean that you have to have it exact but ‘copy’ the basics of the project, such as the layout and perhaps the embellishments, and make it your own. Then come back here and post a link to your card in the comment section. Also, feel free to share a photo of the card that you Scraplifted on your blog post if you like.

That is not it! For those of you who play along this week, you will be entered to WIN!! So post your creation before next Thursday, September 24th at midnight. I will have a fun prize for the Random Winner!

Happy Scraplifting! I am off to the Cheesecake Factory with my wonderful hubby to celebrate! Much love….

So last week, I took off from Scrap or Dare since I had so much other stuff to get done around the house! But I am back with something fun and simple for you all to do! There are TONS of inspiring Scrap Artist out there in blog-land and let me tell you… Tresa Black is one of them! She is a great Close To My Heart consultant that has amazing talents and I truly enjoy her posts each week.

This week’s dare is inspired by Tresa’s project that you can find HERE. I DARE YOU to create a project using a tree with leaves that are anything but leaves! Tresa used hearts but there are endless possibilities! Circles, Stars, Words………

I hope you will all play along this week! I love seeing your work!

This week’s Dare is a little out of the box, but still simple and cute! I DARE YOU to use a Stick Figure somewhere on your project. My inspiration comes from Kristina Werner’s card yesterday that was just so adorable! I bet we could come up with plenty of fun ways to use Stick Figures in our projects, especially our cards. Are you with me!?

• Couples — Wedding, Baby, Anniversary, New Home
• Children — Birthday or Baby Congrats
• Trees — Spring, Fall, Sympathy
• Girls — Missing you, Friendship, For Fun, Birthday
• Boys — Sports, Friendship, Birthday

MY CREATION:

I used Close To My Heart’s brand new papers called, Twitterpated. This paper will be available in just one week! Woo hoo! Such a cute paper pack! The Layout of this card comes from this week’s CPS Sketch and I used some fun Chocolate polka dot ribbon along with some Rhinestones  in the shape of a bracket. I drew my little stick figure girlie twice before I liked the outcome, but I think she ended up being a little cutie, hehe

Happy creating!

Today marks 3 years of wonderful marriage to my amazing hubby! We’re not a picture of the perfect marriage but I can honestly say that these past 3 years have been wonderful for me. We have had our ups and our downs, but ultimately both the good and tough times have brought us closer to each other and closer to God.

Here is a little snippet of what our Special Day look like 3 years ago on August 18th, 2006. Enjoy!
