If It's Groovy - Best Kept Secret Scraplift & Zipper Flower

As a Design Team Member we were asked to Scraplift an awesome layout by Misty! Misty is a guest Designer and going to be participating in our Blog Hop-No Housework Day coming up on April 7th! Visit: Misty's Blog

Also If It's Groovy to check out everyone's take on the lift! Mark your calenders too! We are going to have fun and RAK's during the blog hop!

Here is what I came up with for the lift:

I altered my alphas with a little pigment ink.

Made paper four-leaf clovers and added some half pearls I actually picked up for my daughter's Tinkerbell Halloween LO. I love when I get to use my stash for more then what I intended too!

Here is a really cool tutorial that I just came across! One that I will have to add to the try it list!

Will have to try it...

A Challenge that I would like to complete

I find I scrap mostly events, trips, holidays and the kids. I found this challenge about your favorite gift. The first thing I thought of was "Grandma Gifts" in my family. Grandma Gifts are things that she used, collected, decorated with. Most are home decor things but they are special because they are given during the Christmas Holiday. Since I am the oldest a lot of these things I do remember seeing around the house. I just took a couple of pictures of the most recent ones I got.

The Angels are in need of some paint but they are passed down from my Grandmother. My Grandma is one of those people you wish were able to be around longer. You know someone you miss because they were not there for those big life changes in your life.
Below is another "Grandma Gift" that I got a Christmas or two ago.
