And our latest Lucky Girl is...

Hi friends! I hope you're all enjoing a safe and scrap-happy holiday weekend! After a huge barbecue today, I'm now sufficiently full, the house is relatively clean and I have a full day and a half left to create. I can't wait to share with you some of the new projects... stay tuned!
Thanks to all of you who participated in our Lucky Girl September Blog Party, in celebration of our latest & greatest kit, Falling for You. It's been fun, and I hope you were inspired as much as I was by the fun artwork.

Were you one of the Lucky Girls who won a prize? All of the mini-inspiration kit prize winners will be announced on the individual blogs no later that Tuesday.

In honor of our last day of the September Blog Party...

Welcome back for our final installment of our September Blog Party celebrating our fabulously fun kit - Falling for You, Today's the final day to hop around to all of our Lucky Girls for your chance to win! We're giving away five prizes - one for each blog (including here). Be sure to scroll to the bottom for details on winning the main store prize, plus links to the rest of the stops in the party!

Did you know?
There's only two of these awesome kits left in the store.

Are you going to be one of the Lucky Girls to get the last kit? With free shipping in the store with any order through Sept. 15, not to mention all of the other awesome discounts you'll find - the scrappy awesomeness can't be beat! Go visit our store today to get your hands on your Lucky Girl Crafts kit!


For today's projects, I thought I'd share with you two cards I made re-using the packaging from the Prima alphabet. The packaging was 6" wide, die cut on both end, and about 15 inches or so long, so there's a LOT available for extra projects. Gotta love Prima and their smart ways of packaging design - I've re-used a lot of it!

Here's the first card, which is deceptively simple to make!
(Hint - I used hot glue to adhere each petal to the card. Other types of glue weren't sticking as well as I needed it to.)


From the center of the alpha packaging, I cut a huge circle out with my handy (well, my friend's handy) Creative Memories circle cutter. I trimmed out the large flower from the Prima Life in Colors - Harmony sheet, popped the main image up on foam dots, and added a little glitter to glam it up.
The picture really doesn't do it justice!

Oh, and unless you happen to follow along at Frosted Designs or on my personal blog, you might have missed one of my favorite projects from the Falling for You kit:


Have you stopped by to visit the rest of the Lucky Girls yet?
Each of them have been posting some pretty great projects to inspire you, plus they all have scrappy prizes for our Lucky Girl readers! You can't win if you don't play along.

And, since today's the last day I figured we'd go all out and give away TWENTY ONE LUCKY ENTRIES just for placing an order in our store!

Good luck - and thanks so much for playing along!

Well hello again!

Thanks for joining us for day two of our Falling For You Blog Party September 1-3
Let me begin by thanking you, our lovely readers, for your kind words about these kits! It's so much fun to hear what you like best, not to mention waking up to find how many of you have supported this venture (and earned extra entries for our prizes) with the purchase of my kits. Thank you!

It is official - there are only TWO
of the September kits left!

Take a closer peek at some of the beautiful products you'll be getting:


If you've fallen for this kit as much as I have, hurry over to our store to make sure you get your hands on one of the LAST TWO kits available!!! You'll also find tons of great deals in our sale section (including discounts on some of our past kits), plus FREE SHIPPING on any US order through September 15... though, if you're wanting the September kit, I'd definitely recommend not waiting that long!


Check out my latest "Falling for You" project:


I have a confession to make - I'm totally addicted to My Mind's Eye. Combine their luscious heavy weight, beautifully designed papers with die cut accents? Yeah - I'm in heaven! This So Sophie die cut paper is one of my faves. I used the pear-colored side(?), since I fell in love with the swirls and flowers, and just accented the design by lightly outlining some of the flourishes. I added a few mini bling gems and pearls (which came with the orange Prima alphabet - score!) and the fantastically coordinating Pink Paislee alphas for my title. All of the purple Prima accent paper was created with my scraps. Gotta love that!


Visit the rest of the Lucky Girls for more inspiration & more chances to WIN!
Each of the Lucky Girls has a special mini inspiration kit to give away to one lucky reader - so definitely stop by each of them to get your name in the hat.
