Swingin'

This layout is based on sketch #177 over at Creative Scrappers. I used more of the Bo Bunny Ad Lib collection that was gifted to me. I really like this collection and am thinking of purchasing some more to make Dax's birthday invites and banner with. His 5th b-day is just around the corner...oh my!  lol
This layout is also used for one of the monthly challenges,in my Yahoo group Scrappin-N-Chattin,  which is to incorporate wood grain. I used the Pooh Font cartridge and cut the title. Also for the 52 Week Challenge. Can you believe just completed week 41?...that means only 11 more weeks until the end of the year, and ONLY 10 weeks before Christmas!  I know you all just went.....uuuggghhhh!   LOL.

Thanks for stopping by!

Happiness is...

I have had the Restoration collection by Create Paper for a long time. Why was I hording it???  LOL. I think this layout turned out great with all the goodies that came in the kit. The photo is of me, hubby, and our kids from 1998. Can you believe that was a cool December day when that was taken? Ahhh the beautiful Texan winters!

I made this for one of this months challenges in the Yahoo group I belong to, Scrappin-N-Chattin. There are always fun challenges going on over there. Abby and Suzanne, the same two who own and operate The Paper Variety, are the same ones who run the Yahoo group. They are great crafty partners! If you haven't check the group out yet, we would love to have you join us. Like I said, always something fun going on. Like, layout challenges, card challenges, monthly layout challenge, monthly sketch challenge, bingo, a quarterly jackpot drawing...and more!  Hope to see you there...and if you landed there after visiting here, let me know!

Wow...two post in one day!

 

Have y'all been over to check out this weeks challenge at The Paper Variety?  It's a fabulous sketch by none other than Aphra Bolyer. I used Bo Bunny's Ad Lib papers that I just received from Mel for being the "It Girl" over at Scrappin-N-Chattin. (thanks Mel!)

Now aren't you curious about the sketch? Guess you better head over to The Paper Variety to check it out. Also, you should play along, they always have such awesome prizes.

note: the "It Girl" is a fun lil round robin type of thing a few of us members in the group are doing. Who ever wanted to play along signed up. The hostess sent one member some goodies selected from their wish list, then that person sent to another member, and so on and so on. Now since I was just the "It Girl", I will choose someone from the list and send them some goodies.

Check Mate

It was time again for the 24 Hour Challenge over at the Yahoo group Scrappin-N-Chattin. I love this challenge every month. Even though you give your three choices of collections you want to use, it is always a surprise at "go" time. The collection that was chosen for me from my choices this month was the Printery collection by Prima. Love it!

I incorporated this weeks challenge at Lil Red Wagon, which was to included a postage of some type on your project. I used one of the labels from the papers that looked like a postage stamp and added the silly saying, well because, in my house...The Queen Rules the King!  LOL

Thanks for stopping by!

Life's Full of Happiness

 

I am really pleased with the way this layout based on this weeks sketch from Creative Scrappers turned out. I again used some of the MME Lime Twist collection that I won on their blog.

I am also using this layout for this weeks challenge over at Cher's Studio. The challenge is to use 3D flowers.  I made this flowers using the brown packing paper that comes in shipments when you order from certain places. I gave them a squirt of Glimmer Mist, then crinkled them up until they dried.

This layout is also for this weeks Fabulous Friday Challenge at Frosted Designs. The challenge is Ransom letters. A good way to use up some of your left over alphas.

Thanks for stopping by!

MME-Back Together

This is my take on this months sketch challenge over at My Minds Eye Blog. I used some of the Lime Twist collection that I won a couple of challenges ago. Recently, I had all of my children and grandchildren together for the very first time. We all had a great time! I was so happy that hubbys parents were here to share in it as well. The photo is of all of my clan. The labels tell who is who from back row to front row.


This will also count for the 52 Week challenge that is going on over at Scrappin-N-Chattin, the HOTTEST scrappy Yahoo group ever!  LOL

Thanks for stopping by!
