Updated Scrapdango Grand Re-Opening Crop

Here is the information to cut and paste for the blog hop. You will need to edit a little to add in your own information, but I think you get the jist...

Welcome to Scrapdango's Grand Re-Opening Crop. ! It's time for a little March Madness! Because you came hopping with us, your reward is a sneak of the challenges that will be listed on the message boards beginning Monday, March 5th. The crop will go through Sunday, March 11th at midnight EST.

There will be games and prizes and one lucky person will be a grand prize winner of both an old kit and the BRAND NEW March kit!! So don't forget to mark your calendar and play along!

Ok, here is my challenge - it is a sketch challenge.  I have the sketch for you, but the layout will be posted later today.  And it will be posted in the forum and gallery at Scrapdango on Monday.

I used elements from the July kit at Scrapdango, featuring Little Yellow Bicycle.
So now, if you leave a comment here, do the sketch, and then post it at scrapdango, you will entered to win a RAK from me.   The RAK, which I do not have a picture of, will be a whole bunch of flowers.  Flowers from Prima, from Websters Pages, and some other companies too.  So I hope you play along and help me thin my stash. 

Now that you have stopped by, don't forget to hop on over to Jessica Jennings.

If you stopped here, make sure to stop at the beginning and hop all the way through so you can get a peek at ALL the challenges and get a head start!!

Great News and some two-pagers

I will be joining the Scrapdango kit club design team.  They have a wonderful forum and there will challenges coming soon and the kits are great.  I am so excited.  I took off sometime from all dts and I was ready to jump back in and now I can.  Woo-Hoo.

Anyway, here are some more from this weekend, so long overdue two-pagers.   The first two come from sketches from a big picture scrapbooking.  I took the class-all about doing two pages- a while ago and of course never got to do the pages.

 I did the Avon Walk for breast cancer last year.  And I am doing it again.  So if you want to donate to my walk, please click here.

And last week I found the sketch site, sketch support,  they have wonderful sketches and here is a two pager.  I used Peppermint Collection from Crate Paper.

So there you go.   Have a good day.

a few more.

So here are a few more that I have done recently.

Two weeks ago we adopted a 8-9 year old dog named Petey.   He is almost blind- but that does not stop him from walking up 10 steps in the dark every morning to wake me up at 6-6:30.  I used the February sketch at my  creative scrapbook.  

this next one used we r memory keepers and I did it for a challenge at acot but didn't get it posted in time.  it is from a page maps sketch

And I found this new challenge site.  Well not sure how new it really is, but it is new to me. It is called Paper Secrets.  I did their sketch challenge for this one and a color challenge at ACOT.

Family- bo bunny challenge

I went to a crop this weekend and got to scrap. YAY!! It felt so good that I really want to do more, but I need to clean my house.  LOL.  So anyway, I managed to do the bo bunny layout challenge and here it is,

Photobooth fun

Our preschool had our annual auction recently and to make it more of a party and less of a fundraiser we brought in a photobooth.  And it was fun.  So I had to scrap the photo and I don't even a challenge to tie it to.

 I used a few different products on here,  prima bling and flowers. glitz paper. cardstock is worldwin papers.   Martha Stewart punch.  And the doilies are misted with black magic glimmer mist.

My Sensory Seeker

My youngest daughter Gracie is a handful.  I have known it forever.  She was not an easy baby, or toddler.  Now I know why.  She has a sensory integration disorder.  She is what they like to call a "sensory seeker."  She craves messes, heights, spinning, etc.  She has a hard time sitting still and likes to flip upside down.  Many people think she a daredevil or a troublemaker or maybe a disruptive little child.  And maybe partly she is, but what we now know is that she can't really help it.  Her brain is wired in a different way.  We are going to be working we a resource teacher and an OT to help make her life a little easier. 

As a scrapbooker I like to work though my emotions on a page.  So here is the page I made about all of this.  I wanted to use pictures that really show a side of her and I wanted a lot of room to journal. So it is a two-pager.

I used the yummy Valentine's paper from We R Memory Keepers.

So there you have it. 

A few more new ones

Here are a few more I have done lately, but haven't shared

 Used Echo Park on this one. 

Used My Little Shoebox on this one.  And a sketch at Scrapbook Challenges.

11-12 (page maps sketch)

Hello blogosphere.  I am here with my page for the page-maps sketch challenge.  I used Hello Fall by Little Yellow Bicycle (my favorite scrappy company.)

TFL

daddy love

Here is another page I did last weekend.  I used Sassafrass Lass papers, basic grey ribbon, and some other things.  I am linking it up with Paper Issues lastest issue, "All We Need is Love."

Thanks for looking.

the nutcracker- sketchy thursdays

Here is a picture of my girls with the sugar plum fairy from the nutcracker.  I used Fancy Pants and a Sketchy Thursday's sketch.

And if you haven't heard this is the last sketch of sketchy's thursday's blog.  Makes me very sad.
