christmas card challenge

I decided to enter a card into a challenge. This will be a first for me so we will see how it goes. The challenge is on Winter Wonderland and you have to use embossing. For those of you that know me I love to emboss my cards so it wasn't too hard for me to do this one.

My card also qualifies for the lots to do challenge.

Scrap for a Good Cause

For those who do not know my oldest son has aspergers autism. I found a site today while hopping around in space that is actually giving $1 for every project entered to the autism foundation. The site is humble pie stamps aka The Town Scrapper. The challenge is to create something using a puzzle piece. Please go and check them out. You might be surprised who you know who has it. If you have any time to watch tv the new show parenthood has a good story line with a child that has aspergers in it.

scrap that baby and frosted designs

I had a harder time with this layout. I love the paper it is on and I really wanted to use it. The nursery rhymes on it are adorable. I wasnt sure at all what I wanted to do or how I wanted to do it. Some how I ended up using gold paper and I think it came out pretty cute.

It actually works for a few challenges. Scrap that baby wants a layout about the "day you were born" it can be your kids or grand kids or friends kids.

Frosted Designs want you to make any thing as long as you use the word Dream on it some how.

A spoon full of sugar wants something Male inspired

I used Dreams come True and Story Book for the words

The flourishes were done in story book

The gold paper is from a pack from walmart that I have had over a year

Both back ground papers came from a $2 pack from Big lots

The ribbon is from the dollar spot at Target that I got back when I first started scrapping

Sketchy Thursday second chance

I loved this challenge from Sketchy Thursday. I have been wanting to scrap these pictures of my dad for awhile. This has to be one of my favorite layouts I have ever done.

The background paper is creative imaginations that I got from Michaels

The polka dot paper is from K&Company that I got from Michaels

The rain dots are cloud 9 that I got from big lots

The buttons are from a mixed bag I got a hobby lobby

The font is from ACY

Pink Elephant Challenge.

Before





When I saw this challenge on The Pink Elephant I was super excited.

"The challenge is to take an old layout and give it a Make-Over! You know you have one that you have just been dying to redo! Most of us do! Take the whole thing apart, or just add to it! Whatever you do just
make it fun and scrappy!"

I took the first layout I had ever done and ripped it apart and totally gave it a make over. I think it looks so much better. I used the sketch from Creative Scrappers and the color pallet from Friends Having Fun's first challenge ever, and Our Creative Corner break out the buttons.

the back ground paper is Deja views Sharon Ann collection baby boy

the circle is paper from the Dollar Tree when they carried paper

the words are the paper studio

the ribbon is from the dollar spot at Target that i have had for a long time

the buttons came from a mixed bag from hobby lobby

so cute is from Paisley

I chalked around the phrase using pebbles pastels

New SOUS challenge

This is the SOUS sketch.


This is from our 2009 march trip to Disney World. My 2 littlest love the Little Einsteins. This is Tobin (then 2) and DH Jon with Leo. For those of you that know the show he says I can not believe it at least once every episode. I used Mickey font for the letters. Every thing else is make the cut or scal.

Devine

This layout was inspired by Nanne's mane guy layout. I used paper doll dress up for the trees. Animal kingdom for the lions, and Make the cut for the banana bunches. I chalked and inked all the embellishments. The pictures are of Devine from Disney's animal kingdom. She is amazing to watch.
