Two news ones to link up

I can't believe it has been nearly a week since I posted anything. But honestly last week was crazy for me.  I felt like I was going non-stop.  Then Friday I drove to PA to visit some scrappy friends and had a great time.  Seriously, best time I have had in a while. 

So here are two I did.  I will share the rest as the week goes on.

First up is Target Twins. (Bella had her friend over on Tuesday and the made me get them Bella's outfit so she could change and they could be twins. Sweet right?)   It is from a sketch at Pencilines, for a tic tac challenge at the Paper Variety  (layout, bird, scallops) and for a challenge at ACOT - to use a jingle (double the fun.)

Next is Grouchy Bear.  For a challenge at ACOT to use Cosmo Cricket.  I thought it was also for another one, but I guess I was wrong. 

Ok come back tomorrow and see some more of my creations. 

Scrapbook Challenges and one for fun

Good morning all.  I feel like I have been on a bloggie roll lately.  Here is the latest sketch from Scrapbook Challenges and I am also made it for the Paper Variety challenge (snowflakes) and Scrap Attack Scrapbooking (Fancy Pants).

So here it is- Sketch 236

And my page

This was our first (and only) snow this year.  Barely a few inches of light powdery stuff.  But the girls didn't  care, they played outside for about 45 minutes.  They even tried to make snow angels.  

Patterened papers and borders are all Fancy Pants.  Buttons are Recollections, and alphas are Making Memories.  

Now here is a page that I did just to do and used a Creative Scrappers sketch 137 for it .  Bella and I and some preschool friends and their mothers all went to a formal tea at the Westin and watched selections from the Nutcracker.  Before it all started each child got to take a photo with the Sugar Plum Fairy.  Bella was the second in line and was a bit nervous, as you can see from the photo.  I scanned the original and couldn't get the color right, so I just went for black and white.  

I used Webster Pages for this page.   I used my Martha Stewart craft knife to cut all the things out of the papers.  First time I had used it and WOW love it.  I glimmer misted the white cardstock to give it a hint of color.  The ribbon is also misted.   The pearls are Queen and Co and Kaiser Kraft.  

Ok that is all for now I think.  I am fighting another headache so I need to go make my coffee.  Have a great day.

Rejoice

Ok a real quick post to get this linked up before the deadline at the Paper Variety- it is actually a photo challenge of a cute pup in a santa hat, but I am attempting to use the colors, warm kraft, red and white color combo (I added green obviously as that is my paper).

  I used a sketch from Twisted Sketches- twist pop dots.    Layout is also for ACOT- faithbook- and Scrapbook Challenges- color challenge. 

Will add to this post this afternoon.

A few new ones featuring Gracie

I took Friday morning off of everything and scrapbooked. I did two layouts just for fun, both featuring Gracie and both using sketches from the Scrappiest blog.  I am also doing them for other challenges as well.  The photographs are not very good, so I may try to re-take them, but honestly who knows if that will happen. 

So here is sketch 92 from the Scrappiest.  I am also using it for the Scrap-Room blog challenge, one photo and two word title page. 

And my second one is from sketch 93 at Scrappiest.  I am also using it for a new blog I found, the Paper Variety.  The challenge this week is to do a layout about a child- easy enough.  (They are also having a DT call for those who are interested.)

I love these pictures of Gracie.  Over Thanksgiving the older kids decided to limbo.  Gracie did her own interpretation of it and sang "limbo, limbo, limbo" over and over.  She is so cute. 

So there you have it.  Hope everyone is having a relaxing weekend.
