SHELLS

 

This is a totally new way fo me to make a layout.   I have no title, no journaling, just my paper and picture.    I had two pieces of this paper so I use one as my background and then on the other one I fussy cut 10 of the shells out and then used different sizes of pop dots to pot up the shells over the background shells.

I was inspired by the Survivor October prompt at  "SOUL-SCRAPPERS".

Slim Line card

 

I don't make a lot of slim line cards but I wanted to work with the 2nd sketch for WCD that are being posted every Saturday at   "SKETCH N SCRAP"   I turned the sketch upside down when making my card.

Here is the sketch and the link to "SKETCH N SCRAP"  for all the challenges this month.

FLY AWAY

 

I decided today to play around with plaids and mixing them on a layout.     I found the perfect sketch to use at  "THROUGH THE EYES OF ROCHELLE SPEARS"with the October sketch,  then I decided to combine the Scrappy Girls challenge and incorporate the tic-tac-toe board at "SCRAPPING WITH STACY"  I used the middle row, Hearts,  Word Sticker Phrases and 1 Photo.

Check these challenges out and join in the fun.

Year 3 Week 22 6/22-6/28

 

Week 126 complete! It rained so much this weekend all my plans had to change, but I still had fun and had an excuse to jump in every puddle I could find! I went to Papa’s and played in the front yard with my ball. On Sunday, I had my last Tinkergarten class. I was still the quietest one in the group, but I still love going.  We played in mud this weekend which was a blast. The rest of the week I just helped Mom and Dad fix up the house for our upcoming out of town guests (I built a daybed!), took the puppies on lots of walks, and played games on the family room floor with the rents. I really do love my new house. Oh and I caught yet another cold at school.  Fingers crossed it doesn’t stay around too long. My book obsession is getting a bit out of control when we realized I have more books piled up next to my chair to read than I have on my bookshelves, so now every night we put all the books away and then I get to choose four books to read each night. I like this new ritual as long as I get to read “If you give a cat a cupcake” book every night last right before we turn off the 

ALASKAN CRUISE VACATION

 

The newest challenge at "USE YOUR STUFF"  was perfect for these old pictures I found of my parents and the Alaskan Cruise they took back in 1996.   Plus I used my stuff, this anchor die cut I have had for a few years, left from a cut I did several years back for an old boating layout.   Then the diagonal cut on the paper on the left was a 5x12 leftover piece of paper that I just cut on the diagonal because I knew I would make another layout with pictures from this cruise.

Here is the link to the challenge  #407 Nautical at  "    USE YOUR STUFF"

Welcome to October!  Fall is in the air, is it where you are too??  Fun challenge this week...let's go NAUTICAL

This one can go with typical nautical themes like anchors, boats, water etc, or it could be the nautical colors of red, white and blues.  Maybe you want to do animals that live in the ocean or sea.  Interpret it how you want and then we want to see it! 

Halloween Card

 

I'm not a big card maker but I do love making cards for my extended family for all the holidays.   Halloween is always fun because I send one to each of my grandkids and a few extra relatives also.   Today is used the card sketch #179 at  "SKETCH N SCRAP" for this card that I'll be sending to one of my granddaughters in Florida.   She wears glasses so this little cute pirate is perfect for her.

Here is the sketch and link to  "SKETCH N SCRAP"  for all their fun challenges in October.   Check them out there are many fun sketches to play along with this month.

World Card Making Day

 

For the last two days I've been taking a big part of my craft room apart and rearranging but I am almost finished and I stopped to play along with World Card Making Day.   I got one card made, my first Halloween card for the year.     I used the sketch at  "SKETCH N SCRAP"  it was a great one to use.

I mixed and matched a lot with this one, the little girl came from Simple Stories Say Cheese Halloween, the Happy Halloween banner sentiment came from Simple Stories Happy Haunting, the orange background paper came from Bella Blvd. Spooktacular, the black paper in the center came from a Recollections Halloween pad and finally the polka dot paper was a scrap piece from Echo Park.

Here is the link to "SKETCH N SCRAP"  and all their monthly challenges are here along with every Saturday for the month they will have a new card challenge.
