Lady Gaga!!!????

Ok...I have to admit I like a few of her songs but Lady Gaga in general creeps me out. Even so this week at scrap it with a song they used Lady Gaga's Just Dance. It ended up working perfectly for these pictures, and i was able to use the sketch at the scrappiest.

The paper is from My Minds Eye and imaginise

Pile it on GDT week 4

I have really enjoyed being a guest designer at Pile it on. The challenges have been so much fun. This week it is circles, circles and more circles. I love how this worked out. I was doing a class demo at Michaels and decided to combine the challenge with the demo and made rosettes for the 4th of July. I have a manager there that I love but she hates scrapbooking. When she saw these she actually said they were cute and ended up using them on her t-shirt display. I LOVE how it came out.

Working together

I used the sketch from My Sketch World. I turned it on its side and put my own style on it. Everything I used is stash.

My Store Manager at Michaels offered me 2 more stores to teach scrapbooking at (as if I would say no). So Saturday I did demos at both stores. I got paid to sit at a table in the middle of the store and scrap book. I LOVE MY JOB!!!!! When I do this I just take stash and a single pack of pictures so I can be a little bit limited on what I can make. I do like to print off some sketch challenges to take with me and I am able to show people a little bit about making things our own. This one was done with the sketch from sketchy Thursdays. I used mostly my stash for everything.

Pile it on GDT week 3

This week at Pile It On the challenge is Show me some metal. I was thrilled to be able to use all my metal letters and large brads. I know this layout is simple but I really wanted my pictures to be focused on. This was one of the first times Tanner went down (or up) a slide. He kind of did it on his own. He is only about 18 months here and we didn't think he could make it the whole way up.
