It's Coming!!!!

More scrapbook pages

This layout was an art inspiration. These are photos from Leslie's surprise 50th birthday party back in October. I'm doing well when I get photos scrapped less than a year after they were taken.

This is Imaginesce paper and another variety of embellishments. I used Scenic Route, Doodlebug, and Jolee's along with yellow thickers. This was a sketch challenge at Inspired Blueprints.

This layout was a challenge to use KI sheers. I also used Colorbok paper flowers behind the sheer, thickers, American Craft chipboard, and Jillibeans journaling spots.

Scrapbooking

Wow! It has been forever since I scrapbooked. But this weekend, in honor of National Scrapbooking Day, I finished several pages. I was participating in an on-line crop at Lifetime Moments.

The first page of this layout met the challenge to use 3 fonts/products in the title.
The second page met the challenge to use journaling cards for something other than journaling.
Most of the paper products on these pages are by K&Co. The cute bird and bird house stamps are by Unity.

This one used song lyrics. You may recognize the song as the first one on my blog playlist. I couldn't believe it was one of the choices for this challenge, since it is one of my favorites. It Today was Your Last Day. I didn't use the title but I chose some of the lyrics that went espcially well with these photos of my daughter living life to the fullest.

Patterned paper, title and die cut are Cosmo Cricket. The other embellishments were culled from a variety of sources. There is K&Co, Creative Imaginations, Me and My Big Ideas, EK Success, and Darice.

One more for tonight

Out of the stack of mostly finished cards that I started last weekend, I did get one other done tonight. This one used the sketch at Prairie Paper and Ink. More paper from the mat pad I bought for Megan's baby card. Its by Die Cuts with a View. The image is Suzy's Zoo and the Sentiment is Papertrey Ink. Its from a gift sent you get when you buy a certain number of sets. While I haven't been familiar with Papertrey Ink that long, my friend Laurie, is a long time fan and ended up with 3 of these sets last year. She very kindly gave one to me, as well as Leslie. Thanks again Laurie!

Unity Challenge

This is the card I did for today's Unity challenge. Unity turns 1 year old on Monday so one of the challenges at HipHOp today was to make an almost birthday card using a non traditional image. I thought this would make a cute card for a child or teen. The whale was stamped and sent to me and the sentiment is from the April kit of the month. 'Because of the challenge at Lifetime Moments, I have been trying to use journaling spots on my cards. Both of the circles are Heidi Swapp journaling spots. I also used my new Fiskars border punch.

Friday Sketchers Challenge

This is one of the baby cards I started last weekend. I colored a whole bunch of images and then started putting together several cards. I finally finished a couple of them tonight. This one used the Friday Sketchers sketch from this week.
