Jaws

This month at Cookin' Up Creations we are focusing on the color white. Each challenge will be a white plus one additional color. No other colors can be used. I've got a challenge up today and since it's Monday it's a sketch challenge and you must use the color coral with white. You can use black as an accent only, the layout must be 75% white and coral.

Here is my layout

Here's today's sketch from Bev Code

This has been quite an interesting month at Cookin' Up Creations. It's been quite a challenge to use only one color plus white on our pages.  I hope you'll come join us!

Sweet Birthday Wishes

We've got a new card sketch up at Atlantic Hearts Sketches today. We have a new one every Monday and then on Wednesday we show all the DT members examples along with the winners from the week before. I hope you'll stop by and play along with us.

My take on this weeks sketch

Here's the sketch

For the floral part of my card I used some MFT flower silhouette stamps and stamped them with Versamark ink and heat embossed them. I then took several different colors of Distress Oxides and sponged them over the embossed flowers. Then I wiped the flowers off with a paper towel. The polka dots behind the images were done with a stencil and Distress Oxide. The birthday sentiment is also from MFT.

Diamond Divas Champs

We've got a new sketch challenge up today over at Sketches In Thyme. We have a new one every week and then each day a DT member reveals their take on the sketch.

 Here's my take on this fun sketch.

Here's the sketch

I used a star burst stencil with some Distress Oxide Ink for the pink starburst background. I cut the Champs flag on my Cricut and the stars are die cuts from Tim Holtz Festive Scribbles Dies.

I hope you'll stop by and play along with us!

Happy Scrapping!

Annual Rockport Photo 2017

We've got a new challenge up today at Cookin' Up Creations. This month our theme is white plus

 1 other color (you can use black as an accent color only).  For today's challenge I chose to use yellow. I love yellow but I don't use it very much so this was a bit of a challenge for me.

I started by mixing some yellow gelato with modeling paste and then used a stencil by Heidi Swapp to apply it to my white background. For the flowers I die cut them using an MFT die and then stamped them with a french script stamp and used black Nuvo Drops for the centers. The circles above and below the photo are also from a die by Memory Box. The butterflies were from a Martha Stewart punch and I added more Nuvo Drops to show their flight pattern. The sentiment strips are from some old ribbon I've had forever. I just cut the words and frayed the edges before I attached them to sentiment strips with some yellow brads. 

I hope you'll stop by and play along with us!

AHSC #376

We've got a new card sketch up over at the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge Blog. Every Monday we have a new sketch and on Wednesday we show all the DT members takes on the sketch. We'd love for you to stop by and play along with us!

Here's my example

Here's the sketch

I love how this sketch has both a masculine and feminine feel to it. I decided to make it all masculine as I needed a birthday card for my brother. I embossed the bricks and then just lightly swiped some Distress Ink in Black Soot over them. The old fashioned telephone stamp is an old Tim Holtz stamp that I had never used.  I thought the red punched strip and sentiment strip gave the card just enough color to make the telephone stamp really stand out.

Backgrounds

I've got a new challenge up on Cookin' Up Creations today. This month's theme is Clue, The Scrap Game. Each challenge will be related to the game of Clue. As you complete the challenges you will gain clues to help you figure out who the killer is and win a prize.

 Sounds like fun doesn't it?

Whenever you’re investigating a crime scene you need to do background checks, right? So this challenge is all about the background of your layout. Let’s get messy using some stencils, modeling paste, ink, paint, mists or even chalk. Use whatever you want as long as it changes the look of your background paper.  I used watercolor, a stencil, modeling paste and gelatos. What will you use?

I used some blue watercolor and a stencil with some modeling paste with 3 different colors of gelatos mixed in to get a stone look. It's hard to see in the photo but there are streaks of the different colors used in the modeling paste.

I hope you'll come over to Cookin' Up Creations and play along with us.

We've got a new card sketch up at Atlantic Hearts Sketches today. We post a new one every Monday and invite you to play along with us. Then on Wednesday we reveal all the DT members cards along with the winners from the previous weeks sketch.

Graduation

We've got a mini crop going on over at Creative Inspiration this week. The theme this month is techniques, end of school and all things summer. I chose the end of school theme. This is my granddaughter at her kindergarten graduation.

This layout came together so quickly. I've had this paper with the colored pencils along the top for years and finally decided to use it. I didn't want to take away from the paper or the photos so everything else is pretty minimal and they were all scraps too. I decided to back the pencil paper with black to really make the colors stand out and pop.

Thanks for stopping by!

Sisters

I've got a challenge up over at Cookin' Up Creations today. This month's theme is Clue, The Scrap Game. You need to play along with the challenges to receive clues to solve the crime. I believe the murder weapon was the lead pipe so my challenge is to use something metal on your layout. I also have a sketch that you must use.

Here's the sketch by Laura Whitaker

This months theme is so much fun! I hope you'll pop over to our forum and play along with us. Did I mention there is a prize if you can figure out who the killer was, what weapon they used and what room the murder was in. 

Hope to see you there!

Pool Day

We've got a new sketch up at Sketches in Thyme today. We reveal a new sketch each week and each day a DT member will reveal their interpretation of the sketch. This sketch kind of intimidated me at first. I don't usually work with such small photos but once I settled on my photos the rest of it just fell into place.

Here's the sketch

I hope you'll stop by and play along with us!

Happy Scrapping!
