 Welcome to my stop on the Top Ten Blog Hop!

1)  Now for my projects, honestly I had a tough time picking just 10!  But here we go... (not in any particular order...) This first layout is of my daughter and her friends all dressed up for their Homecoming Dance.
 
  Creative Scrappers Sketch 263 Reveal featuring Elle's Studio Love You more collection.
 
2)   I created this card for Doodlebug Design...click on the link below the picture to get the free cut file.

3)  These flowers were a labor of love...I created them using a cut file designed by Jamie Cripps.
 
 Paper Issues:  Mum's The Word  made from various Doodlebug Papers including Tiny Prints and Sprinkles Vellum.
 
4)  This layout features one of my sweet Fuzzbutts, Rosie.  I am a crazy cat lady, and I'm ok with that.
 
 
Creative Scrappers Sketch 268 featuring some Simple Stories Snap! Cat Collection
 
5)  Here is another project I created for Doodlebug.  That is me, a VERY long time ago camping with my family.  Click on the link to get the free cut file for the grid.
 
Doodlebug Design Happy Camper Layout featuring some Doodlebug Happy Camper Collection.
 
6)  The layout below features my daughter and her cousins...this is what happens when you leave your phone unattended!

7)  These pictures are from 2002, when my daughter thought raking was fun....

 Paper Issues:  Woodn't You Know it's Fall created using Doodlebug Design's Friendly Forest.
 
8)  Another fun afternoon with my daughter and her cousins!  I'm so happy they love to spend time together!
 
 Paper Issues:  Die Cutting Saturday featuring Fancy Pants True Friend.
 
9) More cat pictures.... both my girls relaxing under the Christmas tree....

 Paper Issues & PageMaps Team Up using Santa Express from Doodelbug Design.
 
10) And finally, I love the little lopsided Doodlebug Snowmen....I used a cut file by Lori Whitlock to piece together this fun card!

Paper Issues Pinspire Me Monday using some Doodlebug Cardstock, Sprinkles Vellum & goodies from the Frosty Friends collection.
 
And now, for my giveaway, I'd like to give one lucky visitor three of each of the Doodlebug Doilies (24 Different colors/prints) !  That's 72 doilies in all!  First, follow my blog (links on right column).  Next, leave a comment letting me know that you followed and which project you liked best.  Don't forget to leave me an email as well so I can contact you if you win!  This giveaway is open worldwide, and I'll pick the winner on January 5th.

    Love every single one of these! I know we are kindred spirits because we both love our Doodlebug supplies so much we can't help, but turn to them for other projects! :)
