Happy Thanksgiving

 I've got a new challenge up at Cookin' Up Creations today. This month's theme is Clue the Scrap Game. All challenges will be based on the board game of Clue. Today's challenge is based on the Conservatory so you'll need to use lots of colorful flowers on your layout.

I started with a white background and painted on some orange watercolor and flung little droplets of the same color around the page. Then I used 2 different Pinkfresh layering stencils and diecut sets for all the flowers. I also added several brads, hearts and enamel dots around the page too. The title was cut with my Cricut.

Meeting Hades

There's a new sketch challenge up today at Sketches in Thyme. This week's sketch is a great CAS sketch and I thought it would be perfect for these photos. I really didn't want to take away from them because I know they mean so much to my granddaughter. She got to meet Cheyenne Jackson who played Hades in Descendants 3. She was so excited she couldn't help but cry the whole time!

Here's the sketch by Laura Rumble

This came together so quickly. The photos were pretty dark so I decided to mat them with white and black to make them stand out. The journaling was printed on my computer and then I just tore the edges. I'm seeing a lot of torn edges lately and I really like that look. Then I just die cut lots of stars and scattered them around. I hope you'll come join us and play along!

It's Easter

 There's a new card sketch up at Atlantic Hearts Sketches today. We have a new sketch every Monday and on Wednesday we announce the previous week's winners and show all the DT members examples of the current sketch. This week we have a CAS sketch and I thought it would be perfect for an Easter card.

I used a stencil for the background and some Kitsch Flamingo Distress Oxide Ink. I die cut the scalloped circle, stamped the bunny and colored him in with watercolor pencils. The banner is die cut from an MFT die and stamped with a stamp I've had forever. Then just added some Nuvo Drops in iridescent white.

Beach & Sun

 I've got a new challenge up at Cookin' Up Creations today. This month's theme is Clue the Scrap Game. Each challenge will revolve around a person, a room or a weapon from the board game Clue. For every challenge you enter a layout in, you will get a clue as to who committed the murder just like you do in the board game. The first person to guess who committed the murder in which room and which weapon they used wins. We play this every year and it is so much fun. 

I chose Mrs. White for my challenge and decided to do a completely white layout, other than the photo. Talk about a challenge! Everything must be white on the layout. I added a lot of texture on my page using wood veneer painted white and then sprinkled with white glitter. I also used white modeling paste to create the waves and some white Nuvo Drops. I also diecut some starfish on my Cricut and added some white stone Nuvo Drops to give them some dimension.

Easter Card

 There's a new card sketch up at Atlantic Hearts Sketches today. There's a new one every Monday and on Wednesday's we announce the winners from the previous week and showcase all the DT members cards. Come join us, we always have some great sketches!

Here's my example

Here's the sketch

The background is from my playing around with my new Gelli Plate.....that is so much fun! The stamp is an old stamp that I colored in with colored pencils. I die cut the circle using a Sizzix Framelit nesting stitched circle die. I added the two banners, stamped the sentiment and added some tiny pearls.

Create Art

 I've got a new challenge up at Cookin' Up Creations today. Our theme this month is our Birthday Bash Celebration, celebrating our 5th anniversary. Challenges will be based on the Birthday Theme, but not necessarily on the specific birthday. It can be the day itself, the person, the gifts, food, games, new life in general (spring)/newness. I hope you can join us and play along. Who knows....you could win a $20.00 gift certificate to one of your favorite scrappy stores

This is my granddaughters Birthday Painting Party. She is becoming quite the little artist so it was no surprise she wanted a painting party. The background is from Vicki Boutin's Let's Wander collection and everthing else is just left over pieces from sticker collections and chipboard pieces. I used a punch for the black strips along the top and bottom and then just added some Nuvo Drops in several different colors to tie them into the painting party theme.

Cookin' Up Creations Cybercrop

 It's our birthday over at  Cookin' Up Creations  and we are celebrating with a Birthday Cybercrop Party on the weekend of March, 18-20 with challenges and games.  Should be a lot of fun!  I hope you'll come party along with us!

My challenge is to make a Birthday Card

I was looking for a different kind of card for a friends 50th birthday and found this design by Jennifer McGuire and thought it would be perfect to really make a statement. Here's the link to her video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pjt2clftZpw. It was so quick and easy to make. You don't have to make this kind of card but it must be a birthday card.

Hello Fall

 We've got a new sketch up at Sketches in Thyme today. Our sketch this week is by Rochelle Spears and it is super cute. I really had fun with it! I hope you'll stop by and play along with us....you never know, you just might win a prize!

Here's the sketch

The papers are from the Celebrate Autumn collection by Lori Whitlock and Echo Park. The circle around the photo was done with some copper Nuvo Drops. The tag is an old one from Tim Holtz and the title was cut on my Cricut. I really like how this page turned out.

My granddaughter is a budding artist and wanted a painting party for her birthday. I thought the background paper was perfect for the layout. It's from Vicki Boutin's Let's Wander collection. Everything else was just leftovers pulled from my stash.
