Love to Discover

I LOVE THIS BOY.    If you follow my blog you know that I'm working on some layouts of my great nephew.   He lives in Australia so haven't met him in person but luckily with Facebook I have been watching him grow through pictures.

For this layout I went for 3 challenges with the Scrappy Friends.

#1 from ROCHELLE SPEARS BLOG,  her This or That challenge for February was to use a polaroid frame or chipboard frame.   I chose to use a polaroid frame around my picture.

#2 the challenge at "GRAND DIVA'S CREATIVE CORNER" with this months awesome sketch by Brenda Ragsdale.   I got to mix so many fun patterns using this sketch.   Which I love doing.

#3 and then I took inspiration  from the February Mood Board at CREATING WITH PAPER & MORE.   I was inspired but the word Love and used it in my title, my journaling and with a wood
veneer piece as an embellishment.   And also by the hearts in the picture and used some patterned paper with hearts.

A HELLO CARD

I got to make two cards last night and this was one of them.   They were both for the February challenges at "SCRAP IT WITH A SONG"   This is the one for the Pop song - Hello by Adele.
Don't you just love that song.   I was singing it to myself the whole time I was making this card.

Check out all the details for both challenges here at SCRAP IT WITH A SONG.

You can make any type of project, card, layout you name it.

XO XO card

I made this Valentine for my son.   Couldn't get all pink and girly for him.      I was inspired by the
Rock Song prompt of  Elle King- Ex's and Oh's at "SCRAP IT WITH A SONG"

I usually have really hard time with song prompts but this one came to me easily as when i e-mail my kids, I always ad xo xo xo at the end.

Puppy Love

I'm starting to work on an album of my great nephew Silas.   He lives in Sydney, Australia so I haven't met him in person so relying on Facebook for all my pictures.   Luckily both Mommys post lots of them.    They will be here next Christmas so by then I should have a pretty album finished.
My brother, Grandpa AKA Bam-Bam is headed there the end of the month to be there for his first birthday so I'll get more pictures from him when he gets home.

I had the perfect sketch to work with for these 3 pictures.    Sketch #98 for "SKETCH-N-SCRAP"
So glad I hadn't used it yet because it was perfect.   I just pulled out some of my dog hand made embellishments from swaps I've been hoarding.   And SHHHH don't tell anyone but the black paw paper and the "the dog did it sticker" is from my Meow collection from Echo Park, since here in my home there are 6 cats.   :)    

You might notice the is a blank space in my journaling.   I'm waiting to here back from Cecilia's dogs name is.    But 5 am there so they haven't read todays Facebook posts yet.   :)   But I wanted to get this layout posted and move on to my next Silas layout to work on.

I am also going to use this layout for the "3 in a Row" challenge at "A CHERRY ON TOP"
I  did the middle row of using a sketch, 2 or more lines of journaling and small alphas.

Check out all the details for this challenge here at "SKETCH-N-SCRAP" and you will see their other monthly challenges too.

Dinner

I wanted to scrap these pictures from our dinner at Christmas this year and add to my Christmas album, but I just couldn't use Christmas themed papers, I always get drawn to my Let's Eat collection from Elle's Studio.    So I pulled those papers out and used their sketch to tie it all together.  Had several pictures to chose from but these worked out perfectly.

See the sketch below and check out the great blog at "ELLE'S STUDIO"

I Love You Valentine

Yes its that time of the year and for over a week I've been busy making Valentines.   This one I will enter at "4 CRAFTY CHICKS"  This weeks challenge #284 is Love.   So I would say this card pretty well has that challenge covered.   :)

Check out all the details   HERE.

Next I'm going to enter my Valentine at  "THE PAPER GIRLS" Challenge  #97 it is Valentine/Love and this card covers that.

Check out all the details  HERE.

A Valentine for Mylan

I made this Valentine for my Granddaughter Mylan.   She is really into cats right now so I thought this Miss Kitty die-cut card would be perfect for her.   I'm going to enter this card at
"JUST US GIRL"  Challenge #329 Word Week and the word is Valentine.   I'm just glad I had more Valentine cards I needed to make this week.   Next Tuesday or Wednesday will be when I'm mailing all my cards out.
