Week 5 May 8th It’s almost my Birthday! One more week! Besides my Birthday my favorite holiday is Halloween. I also love bunnies. I found this cute card over at the Folk Art Center in Asheville, NC called Harvest Festival by Debbie Littledeer. It combines Halloween and Bunnies! People who know me from crafting and some past crafty boards my friend Janelle/Tallulah would do a puzzle swap and one year I requested Mardi Gras Bunnies. I killed them with my requests but they nailed it! I know you will nail this challenge too!
Scrappers – Scrapbook a birthday or any holiday, other than Easter, with a prominent bunny somewhere on your new as of today: LO, Card, mixed media or altered item, Oh look bunny decoupage! Remember the bunny must be going to a non-Easter related holiday!
Also, go to Flying Unicorn to play with the Glitter Challenge and Colorful Creations is having a sketch a thon and they served as a jumping off point for my LO tonight.
Stitchers – Well kinda obvious but stitch a bunny! I suppose you may be limited to whatever bunny you have on hand but if at all possible switch out some colors to make it more Halloween, 4th of July, Christmas. Oh wait I’m not crazy! Plum Street Samplers likes combining things like I do! So they’re hares not bunnies, they’re related!
Hare’s Autumn
Hare's Halloween Ohh on my wish list now!
OH and I checked the freebies! Hare’s flying on a broomstick.
I swear one day my house will just be decorated in Halloween Cross-stitch because I will never want to take them down.
Photos- a bunny if you can get it! Or holiday garb with bunny ears ;)
All items new as of today, you will have a month to post your completed project or stitchy project progress with photos of what the item will be when it’s finished!

National Scrapbook Day and Viva Las Vegas Stamps
Over at Flying Unicorn they had a NSD weekend and I just got this done a half hour before it had to be up.
I received stamps from Viva Las Vegas Stamps today in Doctor Who themed plate 925
My box was a Toffee box from Nashville Toffee company that I've had for about a year since I got it for my birthday. I managed to paint it blue by sanding and first covering with some white Picket Fence Tim Holtz daubers and then Matisse Ultra Marine when that dried. I didn't have a very dark blue card stock but I managed to cover the box and then covered the box with tissue tape. I liked the look of the black lace though so it covered up most of it! The black lace came from a Tally Scrappers kit. One thing I can't get the hang of on layers is the covering up bits! So I stamped the Weeping Liberty and Don't Blink in Colorbox blue (petal set not sure on the color) The PP is Basic Grey Periphery and I inked that in Iced Spruce distress (words and liberty also inked in faded blue jeans) I used some Tim Holts light bulbs that I picked up from Tuesday Morning for $1.99! Some black pop dots stacked up adhered liberty but I'm still waiting on the epoxy to set for the big light bulb so I couldn't put it on edge to take a better photo.

Birthday Bash Week 4
No I didn't forget, not really. I just hadn't made a page! So finally did one today.
Week 4 It’s May 1st and we’re in my Birthday Month.
Scrappers –
Use the sketch
Monochrome is the theme: yellow, purple or green. You can have a bit of neutral color like white, black, kraft/tan but most of the LO, card, altered item should be one of the three color choices.
Have a pocket or hidden journaling or a project that opens and reveals something else.
Stitchers - Over at It’s Geek to Me the Theme-a-lisous is monochrome. So stitchers may have a project they may have been picked out but, stitch a monochrome project in one of my three favorite colors: yellow, purple or green. Just for me to see on your blog :)
Photos – you guessed it something in one of my favorite colors: yellow, purple or green. I’ll take a photo altered in that hue or if you find an Iris to shoot that’ll be a bonus :)
Again projects new as of today and you have a month to post your completed project or project progress if you’re stitching (remember the pic of what it will look like)

Birthday Bash Week 3
3-April 24st http://pinterest.com/melissaziggyeor/kermit-flail/
Kermit Flail is one of my pinterest boards that I post things that make me want to throw my hands up like Kermit and go Wheee!
http://youtu.be/n_w4oSCJIQk
Yeah like that.
I understand we may all not be like me and Heather, from It’s Geek to Me, but there is something that makes you happy, that you obsess a little bit over, that you get people that roll their eyes when you mention it for the millionth time…in the same conversation ;) what is that thing you go all Kermit for?
Scrappers – scrapbook that thing you love or your kids, or pet, or significant other loves and geeks out over and thinks is just awesome! While everyone else smiles and nods. Your challenge though (yeah you though the geek part was the challenge) is to use that paper hoard. You know that paper, that special paper that you’re waiting for the right project, that you just had to have, and now it’s 3 or more CHA’s and you haven’t used it yet. Showcase that paper on your project! Be it LO, canvas, card or altered project.
Ok here's mine I finished it yesterday but I wanted to be sure. I used my Basic Grey Scarlett's letter paper that I just had to have when it first came out then, didn't use it for like a year until it was at HL and I could replace it. I liked this photo because it's all the Doctors and it had Party for my Birthday Theme. The journaling is about finding it and enjoying the episodes after first only ever to catch the Adipose episode. Then I saw it was all on Netflix! Still watching all the Classics from the library.
Stitchers – there’s a ton of geeky cross-stitch projects out there but if you don’t want to stitch it or have anyone to geek stitch for then find that company/designer that you wait patiently every Friday on Hofmandis to see if they’ve posted a new pattern. Lizzie Kate’s get your flip its kitted, Teresa Wentzler’s blend those threads, ohh free pattern!, HAED have fun with the confetti! Hey it is my birthday bash after all! (clicking on the names should take you to free patterns that I found while searching.
Photos- that thing that makes you Kermit Flail!
Again projects new as of today and you have a month to post your completed project or project progress if you’re stitching (remember the pic of what it will look like) It would be nice too to have a little bit about what it is that makes you Kermit Flail too
I'll edit later with my page. Since Mr. Linky only allows one linky if you do participate just comment :)

Amazon April and Birthday Bash Week 2
First an Amazon April post because I didn’t get around to it last night (plus I realized I’ll be linking it up and maybe someone will check it out!)
Can you tell any difference from the beginning of the month?
Week 2 April 17th
2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31
I will be turning 31 this year and will be in my Prime …well prime number! Yeah that’s what that sequence of numbers is up to 31, unique numbers that can only be divided by 1 and itself. So today is a challenge by the numbers!
Paper People – Use the sketch from Page Maps
You must use 2 photos, 3 patterned papers and prime numbers of embellishments ex: 5 flowers 7 brads in your blog post put what and how much you’ve used.
Extra challenge scrap you or a loved one in ‘their prime’ dig out those 2nd birthday pictures of your children that you haven’t scrapped yet. That illusive 23rd birthday where you forgot the camera and there may be one fuzzy cell phone pic.
Sketch, 2 pictures from my 3rd Birthday, 3 PP’s in my background, 7 Cardstock Stickers, 5 colors of sharpie (journaling is in 1 but I traced around some of the stickers you can kinda tell), 3 stamps, one stamp 5 times, 11 fussy cut snacks
Your project must be new as of today April 17th ;) and you have one month to post it.
Stitchers – a number project! Find that 12 days of Christmas you’ve been meaning to do and make an ornament. Have a sampler project with numbers? Haul it out and kit it up. Again if the project is large and/or a WIP and you are unable to post a completed picture in four weeks show an in progress photo with a picture of what it will be when it’s finished.
Photos – prime numbers or things in groups of prime numbers, or people or things of a prime age.

Birthday Bash Week 1
1 – April 10th Inviting –
An invitation to my Birthday Bash. It is 6 Wednesdays before my birthday and each Wednesday I will be posting a different theme for a crafty project. I will be doing a linky, I think I figured it out, and everyone can post their projects so we can all enjoy them. Since I have scrappy crafters and stitchy crafters and other creative peoples I will try to make the challenges work for everyone. I do think the projects should be started today for the scrappy people you have plenty of time to throw something together. You will have a month to include your project in the link. The stitch people I will take a new project or a WIP or a lonely UFO you can give some love to.
As I’ve thrown this idea together on Monday I haven’t decided what prizes there will be. It may be something as small as a stitched bookmark (as that seems to take me a month to stitch and then it sits!) Or I may find a small crafty item to giveaway.
Today’s Birthday Bash Week 1 theme is Invitation.
Paper people – create an invitation/card/scrap an invitation you held or received at an event.
Stitchy people – Stitch a card or some place that looks inviting. If your project is a WIP or UFO please include a photo of what the project will look like when finished.
Photos – an inviting place, event or invitation.
