happy monday to you.  i hope your weekend was full of sunshine!  today i thought i would get our day started with 3 great DPLOs from one of our customers who came from over 100 miles away and it is always a treat when we get to see her smiling face.  as you can see she is a big Crate Paper fan too...she used several papers above from several CP lines {that you can still find here at GT} and she used the new holiday line from CP "peppermint"  below as well...

...thanks again angie for sharing! hope to see you and debbie soon!

Drink Up!

I can't believe it's the middle of May already.  Insane!  Kids will be out of school soon and I'll probably need a few more drinks to get through the week.  That, and the awesome time at the NSD Weekend Retreat, had me thinking about scrapping some favorite drinks.  So that's what I'd like you to do this week.  I chose this crazy large daiquiri that I got at Circus Circus (I wish I had some way for you to see how comically big this thing really was), but I could have done this page a million different ways.  Apparently I like to take pictures of drinks.  I had my Starbucks, the kids Sonic Slushees, our St. Patty's Day mint treat or about four different cocktails to choose from.  I wonder if I should bring that up in therapy?

Anyway, I'd like to see you create a page that contains a drink (a picture or a stamp will work), a flower and some journaling.  You have until Monday to email a picture of your layout creation to me to jamie.greent@gmail.com. You may submit up to three entries. I will chose a winner for the $5 store credit and have a new challenge for you on Tuesday.

A giant clink of glasses to Maria Lawrence for winning last week's challenge.  

Hope you have a wonderful week! 

GTKC...May kits are ready!

KOW...Happy MOTHER'S Day!

mother's day is just around the corner, we hope you are ready for your big day!  we sure are, the amazing mother of 4 happy boys has created this wonderful DPLO for all of you mommies or families spending the day with your mom.  this year raimi took photos with each one of her sweet boys and wrote a little something to them in the journaling...what a fun tradition to start up...very cute raimi, have a wonderful mothers day! pop in today to pick up your kit or send your kids in for an easy gift ;)

Mom's ROCK!

Hi Gang!  This week we're gearing up to celebrate mom's.  How cool is that?  I have a pretty amazing mom. And I can only hope that I take at least a little of what makes her so amazing and apply it to my parenting style. Some days I fail miserably, other times I catch a glimpse of awesome and most days I'm just glad I got through the day.  

This week's challenge is pretty simple.  I would like you to create a Mom's Day card.  It could be for your mom, your daughter or even a friend that you think is doing a great job at being a mom.  Please share your card with me by sending it to jamie.greent@gmail.com by Monday at 6pm.  You may enter up to three cards for the chance to win $5 to the store.

Congrats to Cathy Sorenson for winning the random drawing last week.  And thanks to Laura and Lisa for entering as well. Looking forward to seeing all of your cards this week.

A VERY Happy Mother's Day to you and your favorite mom.
