Scrappy Friends Challenges

Hello there everyone! My scrappy friend, Angela, and I had a chance to scrap together this weekend and I was able to complete a few challenges I've been oogling for awhile. I have long admired the work of the four "scrappy firends" and finally had some time to play along with their monthly challenges.

Two layouts completed fit three of the Scrappy Friends Challenges. Here is the first layout:

This layout was fun to do and honors the "Keep Calm and...." challenge. Thanks Angela for the title help! The challenge can be found here.

The second layout was also done with Angela's guidance. I just love how getting together with friends to scrap allows you to give each other technique tips and inspiration. In this case, Angela helped me with masking on the stamps (school zone and Back 2 School).

This layout attempts to satisfy three challenges: the sketch challenge from Scrappin' Happy , the color combo challenge (blues, greens and yellows) from Rochelle Spears., and the masking/stencil challenge from Kristi B.

All four challenges were met with two layouts. My goal is to someday combine all four challenges onto one layout.  A big Thank You to all four ladies and can't wait to see what you came up with next month!

Thanks for looking and Happy Scrapping!

Frosted Designs and Scrapbook Steals JADE #4 challenge

Today I found this sketch challenge through Scrapbook Steals blog. Great products can be found at SS and thrilled to see the weekly sketches for inspiration. I am also entering this LO into the Frosted Designs challenge found here. These two challenges allowed me to kill a kit from TSR and use some items from my stash. Woohoo!

Here's my layout Push Button Nose using the SS Jade #4 sketch:

brads, CTMH rubbons (flowers), stamp (bottom right flower),  border punch

Thanks for stopping by! Until next time...happy scrapping!

More 12 days and My Scraps and More #8

Had a chance to put another LO together (shocker I know). There are 5 golden (yellow) on this page, with the yellow chipboard buttons, yellow bling, and yellow paper on the bottom right. Paper is from TSR December kit (www.http://www.scrap-room.com/) MME I am entering this LO into the 12 Days of Christmas, Day 5 (5 golden or yellow items) at Frosted Designs and My Scraps and More Sketch #8.

Thanks for looking!

Trim the Tree 2011

It has become an annual tradition for Isaac and Macy to do all the tree decorating, every since I was pregnany with the little one two years ago. They love being in charge and remembering where each ornament came from.

Here is my take on Sketch Inspiration's Sketch 352. Also entering this LO in 12 Days of Christmas over at Frosted Designs.

Sitting on Santa's Lap

Not only does Christmas Break mean time with family and celebrating Jesus's birthday, but time for scrapping! It has been awhile since I've seen the bottom of my desk. I was able to complete this page to meet two challenges: Paper Secrets color combo challenge and Sketch #9 at My Scraps and More.

Two totally fun challenges! Loving the color combo challenge, which usually is hard for me to put together out from the stash. The SEI Kris Kringle line was perfect for the challenge. I am also entering this into Frosted Designs 12 Days of Christmas Challenge. I used nine sparkles for the 9th day of Christmas.

 

Thanks for looking! Here's to a New Year filled with many blessings!

Sketch Inspiration #346

Tiny Dancer---Sketch Inspiration #346

Tiny Dancer (a.k.a. Macy) was adorable in her red and blue dance outfit for this year's recital. A bit of a challenge this year was figuring out a way to lengthen the tutu, which was too short to begin with. Miss Cheryl came to the rescue and added a piece of red ribbon to the middle and the show went on.

The flowers were made from ribbon in my stash and with the help of this tutorial here.
Paper is Pebbles by American Crafts.

Here's my layout:

Entered into Sketch Inspiration weekly challenge.

 

Happy scrapping everyone!
