baby jail- ACOT and Dixie Pieces

Here is a page i did yesterday and finished today. It is from the sketch challenge at ACOT. I am also using it for a make your own challenge at Dixie Pieces. (and all the pps came from the Dixie Pieces June kit)- I will explain that challenge in a moment. And ScrapTiffany has a pp challenge this week, so I will send it to her also.

So here it is. I actually like this one, LOL, first one in a while I can say that about.



I inked around all the edges of the pps, minus the background one. The alphas are cut with the big kids slice cart. I even attempted some stitching on it, but . . . I am still not very good at it. The journaling is across the bottom and it says, "where little girls go when they won't take a nap."

So, now for the DP challenges. Basically they are offering up a guest spot in August, for the person who gets the most points. You get points for layouts, and for items that are on your page. So for this page I get 21 points, and my points breakdown like so

Layout- 5

Brads- 2

Stitching- 7

Distressing- 2

Hand journaling- 3

Flowers – 2

- total - 21

So if you want to try for the guest designer spot at Dixie Pieces, please do so. And if you do, and you go over and introduce yourself, tell them I sent you. (But say it in this post.) And they will give me more points. LOL. Help a sista out, y'all.

New Year's Resolutions

Every year for the past few years I have made a page about my goals/resolutions for the New Year. I like the idea of it- having them set in stone. It also helps me see what themes are re-occuring. And it allows me to see myself change every year- which is getting a little scary, LOL. Anyway, ScrapTiffany weekly challenge was to scrap your resolutions. So here it is- based on a sketch I designed for the sketch design challenge at Scrapbook Challenges.

Scrapbook Challenges

I am just loving Scrapbook Challenges. The challenges are great. The sketches are great. The community is . . . well great. So check them out. Anyway, here are two layouts based on two of the sketches from that site.

Our New Tradition, was originally for ScrapTiffany's week 25 challenge- to scrap a family tradition. Alas, my hard drive died- well it almost died and we backed up before I lost everything. Anyway, I didn't get it done in time. As for Scrapbook Challenges, it is for sketch 177.
Princess Bella is from sketch 176

Another cute and easy Christmas idea

I just found this super cute idea on the Scrap Tiffany blog. I think I will try this this weekend and let me girls color or paint them. May make a nice little gift for teachers.

Scrap Tiffany

So I took the plunge and applied for some design teams. I haven't made a team yet, but Tiffany at Scrap Tiffany offered me a guest position for the month of April. Check it out, and you will see me.
