Learning the guitar

 I've got a new challenge up today at Cookin' Up Creations. This month's theme is the song Somewhere Over The Rainbow. Each challenge will be based on the song plus one other element.  My challenge is based on the music. You must use something with music on it like paper, stamps, ribbon, wood veneer, die cuts or even hand drawn music notes. The second part to the challenge is to use only scraps, the only full sheet of paper can be the background. I hope you'll come play along with us.

I started with a cream colored background and stamped the treble cleffs and notes around the page. My music paper is from my scrap pile that I matted with scrap black cardstock and even the pink photo mat is from my scrap pile. I added the washi tape and made the tag using more music stamps.

Christmas Card

 There's a new card sketch up at Atlantic Hearts Sketches and just perfect for a Christmas Card. Every Monday we have a new card sketch for you and on Wednesday's we show the DT's examples and announce the winners from the previous week. I hope you'll come play along with us!

Here's the fun sketch

Just wait to see all the Dt's examples...there are some clever ones!

I simply took some papers with small Christmas themed images on them and cut them into squares and mounted them on white sparkly paper and then on red glitter paper. The sentiment was cut using the same red glitter paper on my Cricut.

School Dress Up Days

 I've got a new challenge over at Cookin' Up Creations today. This month's theme is the song Somewhere Over The Rainbow. Each challenge will be based on that song along with an additional element. Doesn't that sound fun! My challenge is based on the lyric "Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high". You will need to place your photos up "high" on your layout and the additional element is to use some twine, ribbon or lace on your layout. I hope you'll stop by and play along with us!

As you can see, my 3 photos are "way up high" and I've used some black raffia topped with some black and white twine as my additional element. Then it was just a matter of cutting a bunch of banners and layering them below the photos and I used several different fonts of alphabet stickers for the title.

Tis the Season

 We've got a new card sketch up at Atlantic Hearts Sketches. We have a new one every Monday and on Wednesday we show all the DT members examples and announce the top 3 winners from the previous week. I hope you'll come join us!

Here's the sketch

This is such a cute sketch and so versatile. I decided it would be perfect for a Christmas card. I stamped the Christmas Tree image with some Distress Oxide Tea Dye and then stamped over that with some Distress Oxide Evergreen Bough. I love the 3D look that gave the stamp. This whole card was made from scraps which always makes me happy.
