Sunday Speed Scrap....just a few days late...and a freebie!

I used Once Upon a Time Pack 2 by Connie Prince. If you would like to give the My Memories speed scrap a try you can find last Sunday's scrap here This is one of my favorite photos of our princess. She was having so much fun jumping off the hay bales at a local farm.

Just for something fun, I have a freebie for you. It is a png file so you can use it with many digital scrapping programs. If you make something with this freebie please leave me a comment with a link to your project....I would love to see it!

New Blog Background

I wanted to give credit to the wonderful designer that made the gorgeous elements for my blog background. I used Christmas Comes Softly by Mandy King. You can find more of her designs here
I also used My Memories software to create the background and the blog banner. You need this software! New version 3 is here and the code on the right hand side of my blog will get you a $10 discount and also a $10 credit to spend in the store to purchase more kits

Sunday Speed Scrap

I LOVE Sundays on the My Memories Facebook page because there is a speed scrap. Jessica gives a new set of directions every few minutes and by the end you have a completed page. I used Mye De Leon's Black Friday Grab bag to create this page. It is busier than I normally do but I like how it turned out. It is so fun to see how differently everyone interrupts the directions and the end results.

It is funny to scrap about rolls but this recipe has been in my mother-in-law's family for many generations. My daughter insisted on staying home this year to make these rolls(even though we had been invited to join another family to celebrate). Even at 5, she realizes that traditions are important for weaving your family together. That is pretty awesome!

My Little Thanksgiving Turkey

My mom got me a Brother SE400 embroidery machine for my birthday this year. It sat in the box forever because I was afraid to get it out and use it. It was so much fancier than my old basic sewing machine. I wish that I hadn't been so scared to get that baby out and use it. Just look what it can do! I downloaded the turkey pattern from SWAK embroidery This particular design was made by Applique For Kids. They have such adorable patterns and a lot of them are more than just a stitched design. I just couldn't resist the ribbon tail feathers of this turkey! So adorable! I took a plain brown t-shirt from Target and made it into a dress and then added the embroidery. So festive for Thanksgiving. I am tempted to make myself one to match!
