Monday Design team project

I feel like life has gotten hectic .... well, frantic actually.   I don't know what happened but sometime in the last two weeks I feel like I have not been able to keep up with anything!  That includes the normal laundry, cooking, cleaning as well as crafting, time with the kids, phone calls home and all of that.   I've been in a personal slump lately.  Having some child behavioral problems, missing home, and just feeling overwhelmed.  Well, this week I am going to change all of it!  

I am going to be a positive person!  I will be happy and get back into my crafting on a regular basis!

When I bought this line of paper that I used in my project today it really made me smile.  I love strawberries.  And I LOVE working with Kraft paper.  What better combination that a printed line of paper that is on Kraft paper!  I've never seen that before, but I LOVE it.   The paper line is from Jillbean-soup and you can head over to their site HERE to check out all they have to offer.

For today's project I've created an Easel card.  I just love this design of these cards (as you probably can tell from all my projects that use them).  This card makes me smile!  I did not put in a sentiment yet, as nothing particular jumped out at me.  But I can see sending this card as a thank you card, a cheer up card, or simply a thinking of you card.

I hope that you enjoy it.  Be sure to head on over to the Little Scraps of Heaven Design team blog to see my other teammates projects for today!

I used the Bear holding Balloons single file pattern from LSHD for this project.  I just love this bear, it is SO versatile!

Monochromatic Challenge

Happy Easter to all.  I hope that you are enjoying this beautiful day with your family.

For Friday's Little Scraps of Heaven's Design team challenge it was my turn to challenge the team.
I decided to challenge everyone to create something Monochromatic.  They had to use the same color family for their project, excluding the paper piecing.

I chose to make an easel card.  This actually started off as a tag, but as I completed the tag, I felt that it needed more, so I made it into a card.  We have some babies expected to arrive in our family in the next few months, and this would be perfect for the occasions!

I used the Blessed Bear pattern over at Little Scraps of Heaven Designs.  It's only $1.00!  So head on over there and grab it while you can.

I'd also like to share something with you that is going on over at LSHD right now.

St. Jude's Ride for a Cure

Tricia over at LSHD daughter's have been asked to participate in a St. Jude's Ride for a Cure Horse Ride.  They need a sponsor for their ride so Little Scraps of Heaven will be sponsoring them.
To raise money LSHD is donating all proceeds of this pattern to St. Jude Hospital for this ride.
So between now and May 14th (the day of the ride) 100% of this pattern's sale will go to St. Jude Hospital.

Thanks for your contribution.
