...scrapping!! Well, I started 2010 by having Kayla (who's 5) crawl into my bed around 3am and pee on me. Yep. All over me, the bed, blech. So I had to force Jared to wake up so that we could change the sheets (luckily, she missed the blankets). I also had to change my clothes and Kayla's and wash up. What fun, huh? The joys of mommy-hood. :)
But after sleeping in I made the girls something to eat and headed into my scrap room. I have a whole bunch of new product that I received from a swap at JuJu Bees and a few sheets of the Bo Bunny "Love Bandit" line. I made these two cards for December color challenges (a day late, poo) at JuJu Bees.
This first card uses Bo Bunny paper (the blue with hearts), die cuts (title) and rub-ons (cutie patootie squirrel). The green lace is Webster's Pages and everything else is from my stash.
This next card uses more of the Bo Bunny (paper and die cut), this lace is also from Webster's Pages and the pink beads, sparkly ribbon and blue thickers are from the Sept kit at JuJu Bees. 
My mojo is still flowing so I think I am going to go make something else. I'll let you know if I come up with anything brilliant! lol.
Here is the post showing how to make it: 
Here is my Christmas tree card. I used scrabble tiles and lots of scraps of paper. I added an easel back to this card so that the receiver can use it as Christmas decor as well. Wouldn't this be super cute in your office?
The second project of the day is a giant, pink snowflake! The finished snowflake is about 16" (yes, SIXTEEN INCHES) across:
Isn't this cool?? My suggestions: Use good glue. Hot glue would be best. I used my Tombow and it is only holding so-so. I have been reinforcing some of the points with my Zip Dry. I want to make more but I need to find my hot glue gun first. I also want to look for some type of plastic sheets so that I can make some to hang outside!
Here they are from the top view...
How cute are these?? and a close up of the pull tab top: 
The girls will be taking them to school tomorrow (along with the fleece scarves posted below)... I can't wait to hear if they were a hit!! Wait... what am I thinking?? Of course they will be a hit! They are love in a can, afterall!! Thanks for the idea BCD!
And their teachers are getting ones in the school colors!! I found the perfect color of green and then a black with white paw prints (their mascot is a wildcat and they often use paws on... well... everything!) so it was perfect! And the fleece was on sale so I only paid $6 for ALL four scarves!! Here is my youngest modeling one of the wildcat scarves:
These are SO easy to make!! You start with two strips of fleece, 1/4 of a yard wide (about 5.5"), a pair of good scissors, a ruler and a marker. 
You snip 2.5" deep every 1/2" along ONE side. Instead of measuring the 2" every time I just used a marker and drew a temporary mark on the top blade of my scissors (see the pic below), then I knew to cut only that deep and it made it super easy to get my strips even.
Then all you have to do is lay the two pieces side by side...
and start knotting!! I double knotted all of them, just to be sure. But it holds really well so you don't have to sew a single thing!! I also love the back side which looks like this: 
To thank you for visiting my blog and participating in the Dotty Divas Blog Dive I would like to offer up this RAK to one of you:
boring, huh? Even with Martha on... yuck. So I've been brainstorming for a while now and have tons of great ideas but hardly any money. Then one day "ta da!" the idea hit me! I took these:
Which are u-g-l-y. The two bottom ones are from the goodwill for a total of $5. The top one was in our guest room. I also took 3 other frames that I had in storage and did this: 
Combined with a $2 can of high gloss black spray paint, a shelf that I had on hand and got this:
Then DH helped me fiddle with them for a while until we had this:
