Gourdheads

Did you know that Nov. 3rd was Sandwich day? One of the Nov. challenges at Sisterhood of Scrap was to create a layout with a "slice" of kraft & one of your favorite toppings. I used kraft & yellow for mustard. Thanks for stopping by!

Goodbye AZ

I made this page for the current Shabby Princess Template Challenge. Be sure you check it out so you can join in! If you haven't tried digital scrapping it really is as easy as dropping your papers & clipping them to the shapes. Shabby Princess has done all the amazing work for you! I also entered this in Sisterhood of Scrap's Nov. challenges. This was for "Banana Pudding Month" so our LO had to be mainly yellow. If you are lacking in inspiration this month, SOS would be a wonderful place to find it! We currently have 10 challenges going as well as loads of wonderful LO's to look through. Thanks for stopping by!

Baby bath time

I did this layout for a couple of different challenges. Crop Suey's monthly challenge was to scrap about yourself. I used a couple of my baby pictures I found. The other challenge was at Sisterhood of Scrap from Lois & it was to use chipboard on your page. I used chipboard frames and a tag at the bottom. The tags were originally white glitter & I colored them with my colorbox queue. I used the lavender-ish color. Thanks for looking!

Halloween Cutie

I did this layout for Helen's crop challenge at Sisterhood of Scrap. Her challenge was to use this image on a card, layout etc. You also had to use ink or paint on your project. I used paint around my photo mat and ink on my letters. Thanks for looking!

Crayon Art

I found this on Pinterest from Meg Duerksen's blog. Pretty cool idea! You just hot glue the crayons down & then use a hair dryer to melt them. They start to melt pretty quickly. I actually used my heat gun because it felt like the hair dryer was blowing the wax too much. Thanks for looking!

Basic Grey cutting mat

The Basic Grey cutting mat was featured in the Oct. issue of Creating Keepsakes magazine. It is a 15x15 mat that comes with 8 magnets & a magnetic ruler. Perfect for keeping your projects in place! The Basic Grey blog is also having a contest to win this cutting mat. All you have to do is post a picture of yourself & the Oct. issue of CK. You have until Fri. night. Good luck!

Gate fold card

I made this card based on Kristina Werner's Focus Friday card. I also used the Sisterhood of Scrap sketch for our final week of Summer challenges. Be sure to check us out the month of Sept. for some fun themed challenges.
Here is the SOS sketch:













And here is my card:




















Here is what it looks like opened:

Share, Wonder

I'm taking a free class at Big Picture Classes (see my sidebar). Each day they give you a word to think about & make a layout based on these words. Day 1 was "Share" and day 2 was "Wonder." I'm making 8x8 pages for this project. Here are the layouts I made:

It's my day to do Challenge Monday over at Sisterhood of Scrap. My challenge for the ladies today was to use my sketch and to have at least 4 different patterned papers on their LO's. If you feel inspired too use my sketch, please share! I'd love to see it! Thanks for looking & happy scrapping!
