Yes!

The last of my photos from when my Mr. proposed to me on the Golden Gate Bridge. We were with friends, who knew it would be happening, so they were always camera ready on that particular outing.

I used the gorgeous So Sophie collection from My Mind's Eye. It is a huge collection and I love the colors it was designed with. I also used my most favorite ribbon from May Arts.

Purple Cows Blog Hoppin'

Thanks for hopping by on the Purple Cows Blog Hop! If this is your first time here, my name is Samantha Sibbet and I have been working with Purple Cows since April 2009. I threw away my crooked cutting slider trimmer that I had for years and fell in love with my Purple Cows guillotine. No more crooked cuts for me.

I trimmed the roof of this wood cut gingerbread house with my 2 in 1 paper cutter and I used the rotary wave click blade. My friend Kim Hesson makes the little houses.

This fun paper is from our partner Cosmo Cricket, it's from Jolly By Golly.

I made this quick and easy card with my guillotine trimmer and a pretty little tag from
Elle's Studio.

How would you like to have some Elle's Studio in your stocking? My blog hop Rak for you are these sweet packages of tags, cutest tags you've ever seen, trust me. All you need to is become a blog follower and leave me a comment. I will pick a winner this Saturday night.

~Make it Merry, Adornit Blog Party~

Thanks for hopping over to my blog! My name is Samantha Sibbet and just like you, I love pretty paper. This is my very first Adornit blog party and I can't wait to check out all the "merry" crafts on everyone's blogs. I have a couple of projects to share with you, first up is an ornament that I made with chipboard and the ellison die cutter at my lss and some fun My Mind's Eye. The snowflake is from Bazzill-super easy and makes a nice tag for a gift or a little something for a friendly neighbor.

I also want to share this little album that I made with Maya Road kraft envelopes and my favorite Bo Bunny papers. Each of the pages is also an envelope to hold my family's "Christmas Wishes."
I bound the album together with my handy Bind it All. I used rub ons for the title and the snowflakes are Maya Road topped with my fave glitter, Martha Stewart "White Silver".

Emma sat down and sketched her wishes on little cards that I cut down to fit inside her envelope. I think she will enjoy seeing this 15 years from now. Can you tell that the one in the middle is a rocking horse? I thought that was cute.

Thank you for visiting me today! I would love to share some extra goodies with you...all you need to do is become a follower of this blog and leave me a comment letting me know that you joined...I will choose a winner from the list of blog readers/followers on Tuesday. The RAK will include...Maya Road kraft envelopes, sweet little jingle bells, Maya Road sheers, holiday ribbon, mica flakes, glass glitter, Maya Road Pins, crepe and a few more vintage treasures.

A KIndred Spirit

Beautiful My Mind's Eye Paper, love the texture of them. Kindred Spirit, that's my girl. I have always loved those two words together, ever since I read them in the Anne of Green Gables series. Come on I know that you are out there...who else loves those books? I can't wait to read them again, this time with my daughters. Click on photo to enlarge.

I like making our Christmas cards each year and I found these at Michaels for $1.99 a pack. Thought they would make perfect card bases.

She is sooooo tired!
