This is based on sketch #4 by PageMaps over at Apron Strings.

I used an older AS Feb '08 kit here with Bo Bunny papers along with the required 5 buttons and 5 brads!

Rambling Roses

Based on Sketch #3 by 52 Sketches...52 Weeks over at Apron Strings!
I used My Mind's Eye Feb '09 Apron Strings Kit. Also 5 different ribbons tucked in with the pp strips!
These heirloom rambling roses are so important to us as a very special woman gave them to Brad years ago who is no longer with us.

I found some fun ways to use up our STASH over at the Apron Strings Blog this month!

This kit is from June '08 using the Bo Bunny 'Beachy Keen' line.

ScrapMuse Spread the Love February Contest!

When you think of February you think of LOVE! At ScrapMuse we are going to dedicate the month of February to spreading the love. "Spread the Love" will be a month long contest held on the ScrapMuse message board. We are going to spend the first 5 days of February getting everything ready for you. You will have the rest of the month to earn points by spreading the love about Scrapmuse, participating in weekly challenges, joining our Blog Hop, and posting on the message board. Since the contest is all about love.....there will also be random "love" points handed out! You will find a complete list of rules and ways to earn points on February 5th in the "Spread the Love" section of the message board. The grand prize for the scrapper with the most "love" at the end of the month will be a Brand New March 2010 Mega Muse and a July 2009 Mega Muse. We will also select a second place winner from a random drawing who will win a March, 2010 Mini Muse.
