SEM Birthday Celebration Hop









  Welcome to Broken Treasures :)  I'm so glad to have you here for Scrapping Everyday Miracles Birthday Bash!  We have an exciting hop planned for you this weekend but that is not all!  There will also be lots of tutorials throughout the weekend on the SEM blog from past designers and FIVE fun and easy challenges that you can enter to win some amazing prizes!!!!  The celebration continues on our Facebook Chit Chat Group where we will be offering games each day of the event that will have some fabulous prizes.  
 
If you are arriving here from Jeannine's blog Creative Chaos you are in the right place!  If you just arrived from the World Wide Web :)  you can circle through or start at Scrapping Everyday Miracles blog so you don't miss out on a single giveaway :) 
 
I have not been with the SEM design team very long but my favorite page for them so far has been this page from the challenge where we had to pick one word to describe us.  My sisters helped me pick my word :)
 





 
I used the Pemberley paper pack from Close To My Heart and the Card Word Puzzle stamp set - it is my favorite one!  
For my celebration projects I made this card 





I thought this was the perfect celebration card because it can be used for so many different things . . . 
birthday, graduation, promotion, new baby, etc.  I love the way the card came together and has a masculine feel to it - I'm thinking of using it as a Father's Day card for my husband.  Celebrate being a great dad! 
I also combined Ali Edwards Summer Manifesto with the Happy Family Summer Bucket List Challenge and decided in our family we are going to celebrate summer!
 





I'll post more this weekend on our summer list.
Our hop Grand Prize has been provided by two wonderful sponsors...  Paper Loves Glue and Memorable Seasons...  Our grand prize winner will win both a gift certificate for $15 to Paper Loves Glue and a $20 gift Certificate to Memorable Seasons.  If that isn't enough both sponsors have provided a discount to their stores!!!!!

    1. Tell me about it Amy :) LOL I get myself overwhelmed sometimes. Pinterest makes my life so much easier when I need to remember where I found that recipe, or craft idea or whatever I found on the web. I can not imagine how chaotic my internet life would be without it :) Thanks so much for stopping by and taking the time to comment! Hope you are enjoying the hop!

  12. Oh how lucky are you to have that many sisters, big familys are as great as can be, for the most part that is! I went to the pinboard, kinda scared I would get poked but I took a look around. I do not have a pin site so I spent more time there looking than I will admit. I did come across the 52 reasons why I love you in your "gift" section and I have seen that before. I have always wanted to make one...ok no, I need to be *honest* I have always wanted to make one with my husband. I am happy to be married to a man who loves to craft LOL. We just gotta get him time to sit down and do what I wanna do and that not be a foot rub. :) Thanks for the chance to win, love CTMH stamps, they are great quality and they got a huge varity! Thanks for the fun hop! The only hop where I will never fall on my face :)

  17. I had fun looking at your Pinterest boards. My favourite is the Paper Crafting one and it was hard to pick a favourite project from there but I would like to make the Christmas Card that has the tree made with green ribbon. Great idea! I will definitely be following you on Pinterest!

  18. My favorite board was "scrapbook - make with CTMH" because the layouts looked very clear. I liked the second one (angled) with the link to a website about easy scrapbooking!

  19. My favorite board was "Datenights" and I repinned the Karioke one with the choc cupcakes to remind me, under my "Just fun things"! Thanks for the inspirations! So enjoying this!
