Scrap Madness

I am working with a new set of scraps....the scrap page from Sunday actually was when it started and it has just kept going!  All this week as a matter of fact!  I am still kind of in shock at the amount of scraps that I have and at no point did I ever stop and say "Hey I really don't need to buy anything for a long time - now do I?" Geesh shows how much this world has changed or how good the marketing is! :)

Yes - the BRAK's are done for this month - but I still have friends and family to send to - so I am not onto February BRAK cards yet.

Base Cardstock: Georgia Pacific 110 Lb.

Cardstock: Papertrey Ink Pink (Official Color Name ?)

DSP: Good Question - no idea

Stamp: Stampin' Up!

Embellishments: Making Memories Brads, Unity Stamp Company, Stampin' Up! Corner Punch

Did you notice I did this cared vertical?  I could have also just used this paper for the inspiration from the challenge I have going on - but I thought I needed to work a little harder in my own challenge! :)

BRAK for January - Mission Accomplished!

BRAK Cards for January are officially over - and mailed might I add!  Now I will start on February's so I can be ahead!  Those will be coming next week - aren't you excited!!?? 

On a different note - my dear friend Petra's husband left yesterday for Afghanistan.  If you wouldn't mind - her and her 6 kids would love a note of encouragement - please send me an email at missmollycreations@gmail.com and I will get you her address. I know they would love it!!

Notebooks

I am a notebook type of person. I like to always have one to make my hundreds of lists that I like to make - To do lists, buckets lists, grocery lists, recipie lists, birthday lists, etc.

These are for prayer journals - I will be giving them to a couple friends who are joining me in a new journey I am taking - called the Radical Experiment.  It is awesome....read the book Radical by David Platt and you will understand....

Hope you love the books!

How Precious

I was making a birthday card (yes that is all it seems I do anymore!) for one of our dear friends Miss Darlene from church. She is the most wonderful woman I know. Both her and her husband Charlie are so kind and loving...and they always seem to say the word "precious" when we talk!

When I saw this image - which was sent to me so don't ask what she is - I thought how precious! I knew it was perfect!

I used some silver Making Memories eyelets, BIC markers to color, PaperTrey Ink white cardstock, and some scrap patterened paper I had laying around.

I started last week off slow...wanted to ease back in...this week you will have more!

Breast Cancer Awareness Blog Hop(e)

I hope that you are all enjoying the hop so far! If you have joined in the middle please go visit my friend Michelle at the beginning!

If you are following the Breast Cancer Awareness Blog Hop(e) in order I hope you just enjoyed what you have saw at Jill's Blog - isn't she great?!!?

Here is my entry. It is all about simplicity. All it takes is one monthly self-exam and you could save your life with this step of early detection.

I used some cuttlebuged white Papertry Ink cardstock (the best!), black textured AC
Cardstock, and Pink Passion Stampin'Up! Paper. The Bblack eyelets are Making Memories I believe, and all the punches are Stampin' Up!

I hope you enjoy my simple piece of art!

Your next step on the Blog Hop(e) is:

Kerri!

Trust me your won't be disappointed!!
