Scrapbook Challenges and Scrap it with a Song

Good morning blogosphere.  I am up way earlier that I would like to be, but I haven't been sleeping very well and I hate just laying there.  So here I am.

First off, lets start with the sketch this week at Scrapbook Challenges. 

I just loved this sketch and decided to make it into a one photo page.   And here is my page,

And now for my last official page as a DT member at Scrap it with a Song.  I decided to retire, as I am just overwhelmed with things at the moment.  The song is Lucky by Jason Mraz and Colbie Caillat. 

And here is my page,

I think I may add some buttons to the flowers, but I am not sure yet, lol. 


The sponsor for this week is Toucan Scraps.  She has offered the winner a 6 pack of digi papers. 

So there you have it.  Have a great week.

Winter Wonderland

The song this week at Scrap it With a Song, is "Winter Wonderland."  This one was pretty easy for me, as last year we lived in a winter wonderland. LOL.  This week the sponsor is The Stamping Boutique.  I have never worked with digi images before.  I have often been intimated by the thought of it.   But I thought I would give it a try.  And I loved how it came out.  Here is my page featuring the snowflake tree stamp.

So I hope you all have a fantastic Thanksgiving and you find a little bit of scrappy time and that you all play along. 

Scrapbook Challenges and a Christmas Wreath

Every Monday Scrapbook Challenges posts a new sketch.  And for some reason, I haven't been sharing them with you- bad blogger.  So here are the ones that are up this month- doing them gets you entered into the running for the monthly prize

Sketch 225

And my page

Sketch 227

Loved this sketch, but didn't get a chance to do it


Sketch 228

And my page

This pictures are from last year.  We just got their pictures back from this year, and there is such a difference.  I can't believe how big they have grown over the last year. 

Now I am not much of a crafter or an altered project gal, but when I saw Jackie's tutorial on her blog on the Christmas wreath she made I knew I had to give it a try.  So here is mine

I used Fired Brick and Peeled Paint distress ink- Jackie used different colors, but I didn't have those  . . .  I added the bow and the bells for another touch.  Now I just need to figure out how to water proof it so I can hang in on my door permanently. 

Twisted Sketches, the Scrappiest and A Cherry on Top

So I went a crop this weekend.  I only did 6 layouts, but I did do 18 cards.  It was mainly the same card 18 times, LOL.  So I will share one or two of those at a later date.

Now here is what I managed to do layout wise- well a few of them anyway.

First Twisted Sketches.  The twist was circles.  I am also using this for ACOT manufacturer challenge- sassafrass lass.  I was attempting to also use this at Scrapbook Challenges (4 photos, stitching, red and ribbon.)  For some reason I didn't bring any of my ribbon with me and once I finished I didn't want to go back and mess with the page.  I really like this one, (which probably means no one else will.)

These pictures were from Bella's first day at tee-ball. She is the only girl in the class and she was the only one to hit a home run that day.  So proud.

Next for the Scrappiest #89, which I am also using at ACOT for the countdown challenge (5 buttons, 4 halloween themed elements, 3 pieces of paper, 2 pumpkins, and black background.)

These are our halloween decorations.  This was the first year we ever decorated for halloween. 
Everything here (minus the buttons) is from a kit at its scraptacular.

The next one is for the sketch challenge at ACOT.

Another page where almost all the elements come from a kit at its scraptacular. 

And my last one today is for the "scraplift the guest design team member."

Papers and flowers are from a kit at the Scrap Room.

Well that is all for now. 

A few from me

So A Cherry on Top had a big crop this weekend and somehow I managed to play along and get four pages done.  So here they are,

Scrap it With a Song

This week the song at Scrap it with a Song is "You've got a friend in me" from the movie Toy Story. I decided to use a picture of my two girls. So here it is,

Now when I first did this page I LOVED it. Now, eh not so much. LOL, not really sure why. But anyway, . . .

Our sponsor this week, Crop Chocolate, has donated to one lucky winner $20 in crop credits to be spent on their amazing site!!

CropChocolate.com – Sweet Deals for the Scrapbooking Addict! At CropChocolate.com™, we sell all-things scrapbook. But here's the catch, we only sell one item at a time – at a delicious price.

Scrapbook Challenges and Scrap it with a Song.

Good evening everyone.  Can you believe it is actually November?  I can't.  The holiday season is really upon us.   Let the madness ensue, LOL.

In the meantime, I have some layouts and challenges to share with you.  So I will start with Scrap it With a Song.  The song this week is "Its my life" by Bon Jovi.    I decided to focus on a month of my life by using a picture of my planner from October.  So here it is

Our sponsor is the awesome Crafty Ribbons.

They are offering the winner their entire collection of 3mm satin ribbons...EVERY color they carry!

So if you want to play along make sure you link your project up to the main blog.\

Now on two two challenges I am hosting at Scrapbook Challenges for the Birthday Bash.  First is a Halloween Color Challenge- use the colors of a candy corn.  And my layout,

And lastly, my Celebration Supply List- Make a layout that features a piece of cake or cupcake (or other dessert), a number, a flower(s), and pearls or bling  (if you don’t have bling or pearls,  feel free to substitute something sparkly.)

I used two examples that I have previously shared, but here they are again,

Now I am giving away a RAK for each randomly chosen challenge winner.  So if you want to play along, please join  us.  You have until Friday night to get your work posted. 

Blog Hop Winner

Ok so the last paragraph in my blog hop post had a question about your favorite paper company.  I only had a handful of people answer, so those got entered into a drawing for a random prize from me. And the winner is.
