In case I'm the one who gets to draw a winner, here are my rules to enter the mystery giveaway:

Earn 1 entry for commenting here about your favorite project in my little collection.

Earn 5 entries for visiting each Lucky Girl in the hop, then coming here and telling me who has your favorite overall project & why.

Earn 10 entries for placing any order in our store between now and April 7.

Good luck!!!

Hey good looking!

Happy Friday, friends! This morning we woke up to 5” of heavy, wet spring snow… just two days after my son was wearing shorts to school. The snow is expected to melt by this afternoon, with temps forecasted in the upper 50s. Aaaahhh, spring in Colorado. There’s nothing quite like it!

It’s been a busy few weeks, but I found some time to play with my March Lucky Girl kit – Homemade Happiness. I finished up a few little projects I had created with the Echo Park loveliness in the kit, creating this card with a hand-cut & embellished apron plus a little cupcake box – all from the scraps I had left over from my layout projects!

I can’t believe how many projects I was able to get out of one kit. A total of EIGHT fully embellished layouts, four cards and the cupcake box – seriously a steal for just $29.99! I even have a few extra goodies left for other projects, too. Being thrifty always makes me smile! There’s even a few of the kits left in the store – hurry and grab yours today before they’re gone!

Anyhow - I used scraps from this layout and this layout to create everything here.

My apron was trimmed from the reverse side of the Echo Park - For the Record "Stamp of Approval" paper - that beautiful red pattern was perfect for it! After hand-cutting out my little apron, I embellished it with one of the Echo Park - For the Record "Noteworthy" journal spots that I trimmed down for the front pocket, a little of the black pom pom trim from the kit, and some ricrac and stitched grosgrain from my stash. The apron turned out so cute, I wish it was real so I could have it!

The little box was done with the scraps from the Echo Park - For the Record "Tablecloth" paper I used on my "What I Like Best" layout. I added a little American Crafts ribbon and assorted little flowers. The flag was also from the Echo Park - For the Record "Noteworthy" paper, and was added onto a toothpick with some fun green flowers for a cake topper.

I hope your weekend treats you sweetly!

Midweek Triple Treat - Homemade Happiness Blog Party Day 2

Since the Lucky Girl Crafts monthly party is only three short days, and I've got more than EIGHT layouts to share that I've created with our March kit - "Homemade Happiness", I figured I'd post a bunch of them for you today.

This first one uses a lot of the scraps I had left over from the Echo Park "For the Record" Apron Strings & Noteworthy papers for the main elements. For the ticket (from the Noteworthy paper), I punched small half-circles to give it more of an authentic ticket stub appearance. I also used a bunch of the flowers I created for last week's feature on Ideas for Scrapbookers.

The fun patterns and bright colors were perfect for our trip to the Denver Art Museum!

I created another fun, bright layout with Echo Park papers for our trip to our favorite ice cream shop - Golden Sweets in Golden, CO. (If you're in the area, I definitely recommend the all-natural, organic, locally-made ice cream. It's delicious!)

The black-and-white checkerboard flooring complimented the vintage feel of this paper. Not to mention, the perfectly coordinating piece of Prima packaging from the Damsels packaging. Sweet!

Finally, a fun & bright Easter layout for my girl & her bestie. Some beautiful American Crafts pearly paper, a little Echo Park, fancy Prima swirls & flower, K&Co. emphemera, plus a little Tseniko spray & Bazzill pom trim = fabulous!

I don't know about you, but I am a sucker for a great deal - especially when it's to add to my scrapbooks that I'll always cherish. We're having a fantastic sale at Lucky Girl Crafts this month. Check it out!
