Scraps, stitching & some Resolutions!!

One of my resolutions is to try to use up some of my tons of scraps that I've accumulated in the last year or so. Another is that I am going to try not to buy anything new for quite a while too, since I have so much already!! I'm going to also try to scrapbook at least once day a week. I have all of our Christmas pictures from 2000-2007 in 1 Red Book. I have another Red book to put in 2008 & 2009. 2008 was the first Christmas without my Dad, so I haven't been able to muster up the emotions to do it yet. If I can get the Christmas's done, then I will feel like I've accomplished something! SO, here is a card made from scraps. (Except for the base)
I like this SU dp (Sorry, can't remember the name, as it is in the scrap bag!)I used the Nestabilities Blossom Two to make a flower to resemble the flowers on the dp.I sponged the flower with Pink Passion, Kiwi Kiss, Crushed Curry. I drew in the black lines with a Prismacolor pencil, (but don't look too close). Then stamped the "thank you" with the Oval All Stamp in Melon Mambo, added Magenta Stickles to the butterfly, punched it out with the SU oval punch and mounted that on Barely Banana that I punched out with the SU Scallop Oval punch. Then I added 2 pink bling hearts & Butterflies. Almost forgot, the ribbon at the top.

Here is my next attempt at stitching!! Not much stamping at all.

This is a Clean & Simple Challenge: CAS48.

The stamp is from Stephanie Barnard-the {stamps} of life, Set#4 Love2Hug

I used the Cuttlebug Swiss Dots on the Gina K Pure Luxury White base.

Then I used my Creative Memories Shape Maker-Heart, for the Melon Mambo Solid and dp heart. Next I used the SU Heart punch for the white heart. The Ink is also Melon Mambo.Plus, Melon Mambo dotted ribbon. Here is a close up of the Primas and Brad. I added some Magenta Stickles.

Have a great day everyone!! Thanks for looking!!!
