Scraps to Treasures Weekend Blog Hop 6/16-6/17

Welcome to a Weekend of

"Scraps to Treasures"

Blog Hop !

The hop begins at Robin's blog "Scrap and Chat"

on Saturday through Sunday

for 2 days of Creative Projects

Be sure to visit Robin to get in on the full scrapping lineup

of Creative Bloggers sharing PLUS Giveaways ! . .

THis is my 1st EVER scrapping project

plus entry in a hop featuring scrapped projects!

so I'm a little excited {to say the least!}

I've busily been putting final touches to my projects

that were to challenge our creativity using 'scraps'!

The project I intended took an entirely new direction

and I'm not at all disappointed ~

That's all part of the FuN of Creating!

I began with the unused, pre-owned charity shop gift bag

in this post's opening photo ~

I then layered co-ordinating cardstock to the front of the bag ~

the mauve is from Darien Gee's "Friendship Bread Scrap Packs"

{a fabulous book for any readers} !

and

the lime on white patterned is from Cely's Hawaii Paper Party

{Warm Thank you to each of you}!

a tiny white doily addition for my next step ~

became a background for ~

a couple embellishments

{again from Darien}

and we've a 'New Look' Gift Bag !

Huge & Heartfelt Thank You's

to Jessi for inviting me to this Scrapping Group !

and to my friend, Lil,

for willingly popping over at 10 pm to shoot these photos

virtually making this post possible!

{+ tomorrow's!!}

Bless you! You're nothing but the BEST !

{PS} Pink Saturday dreaming...

time for a pause to refresh...

beauty refreshes me.

how about you?

what are some things that refresh, renew

and give life to you?

another is music ~

a music lover of a wide variety

depending on my frame of thought

or what  thoughts i'd like to change...

here's one for this gorgeous summer night

as i write...

Pause HERE to Refresh and Renew!

blogger won't show the correct video to insert,

so i'm posting the link.

it's beautiful.

 if you take the time, click and refresh "))

books are another ~

one delicious read is Darien Gee's 'friendship bread'.

have you read it ?

here's my take on this tasty treat ~

"Enjoy the romance, the mystery and the menu of

Darien Gee’s ‘Friendship Bread’

as your next delectable summer read.  

It doesn’t disappoint!"

 

any great summer reads refreshing you ?

i've posted several great free book downloads ,

just scroll down from this post to grab them while they're

still available without cost...

as we've paused to refresh,

i realize i haven't even touched on country drives,

sunrises, sunsets, lightening shows,

the air after rain,

iced tea and gelati...

i'll have to save them for another Pink Saturday!

hoping your weekend is all you hoped for

and

More!
