Life has picked up and my spare time scrapbooking has diminished BUT I've made it a new goal to get back into it. And what better way to do that than complete a sketch challenge. These sketches are from <a href="http://thestampingrooster.com/">the stamping rooster</a>, designed from a friend of mine whose style I've really become to admire. She takes texture and embellishing to a whole new level. My goal is to get 4 pages scrapped a month and I did 3 this weekend. Whoohoo for me! (photos were taken from my phone so not the best)<br />

I managed to squeeze in two layouts last weekend. The photos are a year old, glad I got them scrapped. I dug out my Tim holtz flower dies for this one and grabed a mix of different scraps. Slowly making a dent.

Hello there, been a rough busy month so going to start sharing some older projects I never got around to posting. This tutorial was my last DT assignment for 3SB. I've had a great time being on the design team but looking forward to the break of kit deadlines and enjoying the summer with my kids.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
With the end of school year approaching along with graduations and celebrations for gift giving, I thought this quick and easy purse gift card holder would come in handy. The best part is all it requires is a few things from your scrap pile.</div>

Nothing? Well, you need to hop on over to <a href="http://www.3scrappyboys.com/">3 Scrappy Boys</a> message board for their huge 10 day event crop. With National Scrapbooking Day just around the corner, they are hosting this event to say thank you to the retiring DT members (including myself!), welcome the new, and to celebrate our hobby. <br />

<br />
The details-there will be challenges, step by steps, tutorials and sketches. The sketches and "classes" will post daily in the forums by 10am EST to be followed by a blog post. There are lots of prizes so be sure to show us your work.<br />
<br />
To go with the crop, there is of course a sale! The store is 25% off. Kits are 10% off. Heather has spent a lot of time adding new products to the clearance and last chance clearance sections, so be sure to check them out.<br />
<br />
Plus you can use code NSD2012 to get free flat rate shipping in the US (international customers receive an equivalent shipping discount).<br />
<br />
The first contest starts now. Social media is a great way to reach new customers. So, each new follower to anything will be entered into a drawing to win an April kit. Choose any or all, each new follow gets an entry, so follow us everywhere for more opportunities to win. Facebook, blog, pinterest, and on twitter-3ScrappyBoysNC.

It didn't have much in there but this little merry go round. The kids loved to have their Uncle Ryan and grandpa push them round and round. They could play on it all day long.

We had a party at home and she invited all her classmates. They did potatoe sack races, egg games, silly photo booth pictures, and enjoyed the nice weather outside on the swingset. She received many toys of which her favorite was the monster high dolls....something her mother does not understand. Love you baby girl, hope your day was special!

This month I get to play with the TRIO kit and it is fabulous! Lots of MME and LYB, and fun extras.
For my first page I layered all the tags and diecuts from the kit. Aren't the row of birdies just cute?

Seeing how beautiful these before "white" flowers have changed, I will challenge myself to use my mists more often.

And just a couple layouts to share. The dear Santa was a Pagemaps sketch and the For the First Time is from a Got Sketch. It's a layout of my brother. I think this is the only page I have ever scrapped of him.

But we are ready to hand out 24 of these adorable treats and it was worth the crafty late night hours. I found these cute <a href="http://www.skiptomylou.org/2009/02/03/printable-valentines/">butterfly printables </a>on this site from pinterest. Makenzie loved helping me glitter all the punched hearts and stick on the wiggly eyes.

Check out the long lashes, isn't she cute?
And I was so giddy when the placement worked out perfectly so that the twisted wrapper looks like hair and a smile on the face!<br />

And here is my son's box to collect all of his classmate's valentines. Yes, I know...made it a bit too girly but he's okay with it! I actually found a really cute alligator box I was going to make him but he didn't like that idea..wanted a robot and then he suggested I used the leftover wiggly eyes from sister's project. The robot was actually cut out from the front of a gift bag I found in the Target dollar bin. I just added the eyes and buttons and embellished the rest. Quick and easy.

Now, for the last project..my mixed media canvas flower. I had a total blast making this! It was a 3 hour class and I haven't taken a local class at my scrapbooking store in like 5 years but now I"m totally hooked on mixed media. So much distressing, painting, inking, sponging, spraying, heating....just like I was sitting back in art class at school. Just LOVE it!

Haven't been to my scraproom in a while, been busy with other crafty things around the house and for the kids. But I couldn't sleep after my 2 year old woke me up at 11pm to use the potty, then 2 hours later my 5 yr old woke me up to take him to the potty, and then it was hopeless for me to go back to sleep so here I am. Finishing this card at 3am and here to share it with you.
Papertrey Ink is having a challenge on their blog in celebration of their 5 year anniversary and the challenge today is to use one of their DT's pinterest images as inspiration for your project.

I am feeling so lucky lately. I won some goodies from Imaginese not too long ago, a chevron stamp from Kinsey Wilson's blog giveaway, and just today I was notified I won the <a href="http://www.studiocalico.com/shop/classrooms/stretch-your-kit">Stretch your Kit class </a>by Amy Tangerine from <a href="http://dawnmcvey.typepad.com/">Dawn McVey's </a>blog! Sooo many scrappy goodness! :)
So it's my turn to give back. Leave a comment for your chance to win some scrappy supplies. I'll draw a name on the last day of the month. Where is your favorite place to shop?Lanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16676731858669672249noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2293663099623567951.post-91345170388659014982012-01-16T18:53:00.000-08:002012-01-16T18:53:43.128-08:00Take Twelve - Jan 12thSometimes I sign myself up for too many projects and then never follow through but I like challenges and this is one that should be fun. The Take Twelve photography/scrapbooking challenge is to take 12 photos on the 12th of every month. I actually took more than 12 and had a hard time narrowing it down so this post is going to be a photo overload.<br />

This month I got a chance to play with <strong><span style="color: blue;">3 Scrappy Boy's January Add-On kit</span></strong> and it is full of the American Crafts Chap line. Perfect for boys but so much color infused, you could adapt it to any occassion.

Hope you are gathering with loved ones today and celebrating a wonderful season. I"ve been very blessed this year, our family is in good health, our kids are excelling in school, we've got stable jobs, it's a lot to be thankful for.
I posted about these two pages over at <a href="http://3scrappyboys.typepad.com/3_scrappy_boys/2011/12/a-quick-lift.html">3 Scrappy Boys</a>. The pictures are a co-worker's daughter, layouts I gifted to her. :)

I received this amazing prize package from the wonderful people at <a href="http://www.imaginisceblog.com/">Imaginisce</a> for one of their blog giveaways. I tell you what, all this bling is so pretty, makes me want to put it on all my pages now! The bling lipstick packaging is too cute.
The i-rock tool is so easy to use, you just plug it in and the heat transfer will just melt the hot rock accents right onto your page where you have it positioned....it's very cool!

<p>Now that Black Friday is over the official countdown to Christmas is on! With those newly purchased gifts, it's time to wrap them up. I just Love when the packaging includes little touches of cuteness and here are two ideas to add to your wrapping this season. </p>
<p>1) Add handmade fabric flowers topped with a little bling or buttons. One of my flowers was adhered to a little hair clip from the November Main kit. It was just clipped into the packaging so that it can easily be removed and reused. Love the recycling aspect of that!</p>

<p>2) Roll a tshirt up like a Hogie Sandwich tied with a trio of Ribbons.</p>

<br />I had some scrapbooking tshirts with our theme "Bee Creative" imprinted for my scrappy friends so I decided to go with black/yellow/white/kraft combo. Taking a sheet of tissue paper in two colors, I just rolled it up and folded the ends to a point. Then created some quick and easy tags cut from my George cricut cartridge and stamped some polka dots and layered with diecut flowers. And Wa-lah!! You have a cute Hogie Sandwich wrapped tshirt.</p>

Much better on our wallets. Paxton was still too short to ride on most of the kiddie rides but this bug one was right up his alley and he loved it!<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Hi-2Lf3GFbI/Tsx7O3XhE9I/AAAAAAAADdM/slKmYKoqV3o/s1600/Zippin-Around.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 400px; height: 397px; text-align: center; display: block; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5678048725518324690" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Hi-2Lf3GFbI/Tsx7O3XhE9I/AAAAAAAADdM/slKmYKoqV3o/s400/Zippin-Around.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img style="border: 0px currentColor !important;" src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54489/185/749D873F495540857EAE69772EFE9735.png" /></a></div>Lanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16676731858669672249noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2293663099623567951.post-25327901926214781892011-11-22T20:39:00.000-08:002011-11-22T20:56:02.909-08:00Dancin'I remember when my nephews just got this dance pad, Micah had a blast moving his little feet to all the arrows.

I am using the Maya Road assorted Autumn pieces that came with the November Main it.<br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-pJmW21NZ-C0/Tsl6R1XnwWI/AAAAAAAADc0/WJ6Hx2TL8CM/s1600/chipboard-bare.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 400px; height: 267px; text-align: center; display: block; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5677203252079739234" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-pJmW21NZ-C0/Tsl6R1XnwWI/AAAAAAAADc0/WJ6Hx2TL8CM/s400/chipboard-bare.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Step 2: I inked my pumpkin with some papertry summer sunrise ink<br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-OEt9uxEREJI/Tsl6N5m08PI/AAAAAAAADco/WrHK9ELNqFs/s1600/chipboard-pumpkin.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 400px; height: 383px; text-align: center; display: block; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5677203184497783026" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-OEt9uxEREJI/Tsl6N5m08PI/AAAAAAAADco/WrHK9ELNqFs/s400/chipboard-pumpkin.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Step 3: Next I used my copics to outline the borders and to draw in the centers for some added dimension<br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-S_ghH1RlvUs/Tsl6NKUfPtI/AAAAAAAADcg/GWWfYD6WRRI/s1600/chipboard-copic.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 400px; height: 301px; text-align: center; display: block; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5677203171804397266" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-S_ghH1RlvUs/Tsl6NKUfPtI/AAAAAAAADcg/GWWfYD6WRRI/s400/chipboard-copic.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Step 4: And then I misted the chipboard with my new most favorite mist: Mister Huey Calico shine.<br /><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ZnZeFHI64wg/Tsl6Mjix13I/AAAAAAAADcQ/e5oHvV9R2KE/s1600/chipboard-calico-shine.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 400px; height: 292px; text-align: center; display: block; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5677203161395353458" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ZnZeFHI64wg/Tsl6Mjix13I/AAAAAAAADcQ/e5oHvV9R2KE/s400/chipboard-calico-shine.jpg" /></a><br /><br />STep 5: After it dries a bit I go in with some cats eye chalk and ink the edges some more. Aren't they so pretty?!<br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ArVcvkEfFfc/Tsl6MvxktNI/AAAAAAAADcA/YPV8hyXHdt0/s1600/chipboard-end.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 400px; height: 286px; text-align: center; display: block; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5677203164678632658" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ArVcvkEfFfc/Tsl6MvxktNI/AAAAAAAADcA/YPV8hyXHdt0/s400/chipboard-end.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-OAnrr5xVZTc/Tsl6MRgqIzI/AAAAAAAADb4/zVPmKSndHos/s1600/chipboard-end2.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 400px; height: 310px; text-align: center; display: block; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5677203156554621746" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-OAnrr5xVZTc/Tsl6MRgqIzI/AAAAAAAADb4/zVPmKSndHos/s400/chipboard-end2.jpg" /></a><br /><br />For the acorn I used tattered angels Frozen lake" glimmer mist and hunter green cat's eye chalk.

It was perfect for my fall photos.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54489/185/749D873F495540857EAE69772EFE9735.png" style="border: 0 !important; background: transparent;"/></a>Lanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16676731858669672249noreply@blogger.com0
