Love/Scrappy Friends Challenge

Hi everyone! Scrappy Friends Challenges has some great challenges this month:







  

Here is my layout with some close ups:


For the sketch challenge, I decided to use one picture and add some embellishments on the side of the heart.   With the tic tac toe challenge I used  the diagonal row with word title, heart, and lined paper.  I haven't written on the lined paper yet and will do that later because it is private.  For Kristi B.'s challenge I used the word Love. I tried to use all the colors from Kelly's challenge, but just could not make that work.  I did use four though!



I hope you like it and thanks for stopping by!

Love/February Layout Sketch Challenge

Hello everyone! Today's layout is for Scrapping Everyday Miracles.  They have 3 challenges; a sketch, card and a theme challenge. Go to their website here to check out all the sketches and rules for the challenges.  There are some awesome prizes!!  The theme is "Love is in the Air."  The inspirational Bible verse is Colossians 3:14 "And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony."  Here is the sketch for the layout challenge:







As you can see I changed the sketch around a little bit. I used the Bible verse because it reminds me of my sweet family.  The supplies used are Basic Grey, Fancy Pants, and Recollections.  Remember to stop by SEM! I hope you like it and thanks for stopping by!

Today

Another layout I did from May Flaum's class Creative Retreat Winter 2014 was from Lisa Dickinson.  I love this class! Can I say it again? I love this class!! Here is my layout:

This photo was taken this past Tuesday when the light dusting of snow turned into 2 inches and stuck.  Nobody was prepared! When we finally got home from school we had to park down the road and walk. Before going inside to get 'warm and toasty' I convinced my son to take a quick picture.  The supplies I used are Bazill, Little Yellow Bicycle, and Jellibean Soup.  Thanks for stopping by and I hope you like it!

Awesome!

Going on day for 4 of snow and getting lots of layouts done!  Aside from being outside and playing in the snow and entertaining my son, I have gotten a lot accomplished.  I will have about 3 post today! Whoo Hoo!!

This past week I took a class from May Flaum called Creative Retreat Winter 2014. I have loved this class!! It has definitely made me step out of my comfort zone.  The class had guest designers teaching new techniques and ideas! This layout is inspired from Rikka Kovasin.  I am going to do this type of layout again, but will practice on my handwriting first! 




The supplies I used on this layout are:  Authentique, Bazzill, Studio Calico, Basic Grey, Lily Bee, Bella Blvd., Tape Works, Hero Arts, Heidi Stamp, Prima, Fancy Pants, My Mind's Eye, Craftsmart, Tim Holtz, and Tattered Angels.  I hope you like it and thanks for stopping by!

Our Love Story/Sketch N Scrap Inspired Layout

Sketch N Scrap is trying something new.  They will feature a new sketch from Lisa or Kelly on the 10th of each month. The sketch will be a sketch that was 'inspired by' a layout created from a design team member.  I was intrigued by this sketch because of the long title.  Here is the sketch and my layout:



I originally wanted to use the quote "Every love story is beautiful, but ours is my favorite."  I could not make it work with the letters I had so I shortened it.  The supplies I used are Fancy Pants, Tim Holtz, and Heidi Swapp.  I hope you like it and thanks for stopping by!






Noise/Sketch N Scrap #49

Hello everyone! I did a layout using Sketch N Scrap's sketch for their mid month challenge.  I really liked this sketch.  I used pictures of my son from New Year's Eve making noise with party horns.  It doesn't matter the occasion he loves to make noise! Here is the sketch and my layout:



The supplies I used are We R Memory Keepers, Studio G, Tim Holtz, and Cosmo Cricket.  I hope you like it and thanks for stopping by!
