Tuesday Morning Sketches #223

Good Morning!  It's Tuesday and it's time for a new sketch at Tuesday Morning Sketches.  I love this sketch, so pretty.  This week's sponsor is My Creative Classroom.  I simply must take one of their classes!  They look so fun and so informative.

So I made another scrapbook page to share - I started on Saturday and I haven't been able to stop!  I have not created a page of my oldest sister, Karin, so it was high time I did....

This picture was take a few years ago of Karin and I - I just love this picture and I am so happy with how my page turned out.  It worked great with the sketch.  Please come join us!

Deedee's Digis - November Challenge

Good Morning!  I hope you had a great weekend and enjoyed that extra hour.  I know I did.  Saturday was Digital Scrapbooking day so I played along with the challenges that MyMemories had going on all day.  Yesterday I slept in and still got up on time.  It was nice sleeping til 8:00 body time but 7:00 daylight savings time.  Then I worked on cards and did more scrapbooking and even did a little crocheting.  Yep, that's what good weekends are made of.

So I really enjoyed the scrapbooking, so much that I kept going and created a page using Deedee's Digis newest set Daniel's Tree.  This starts the progressive challenge for the month.  You can read all about the challenge here on the blog.

The picture of my kids was taken 9 years ago.  We were at a Christmas tree lot picking out our tree.  Daniel's Tree was perfect for this page as well as the sentiment.  It was such fun to put this page together after being inspired by so many talented scrapbookers on the MyMemories Facebook page.

Have a Happy Monday!

Delightful Challenges Thursday

Good Morning!  Happy Halloween.  I have a fun project to share with you today that I cannot take credit for.  I just love Angie Juda - Chickn Scratch on You Tube.  And her 12 days of Halloween has been so fun to watch.  She inspired this project for this week's challenge at Delightful Challenges.

This week we're doing a color challenge - Purple & Green.  This is perfect Halloween.

I used a little wine bottle like Angie did - the wine was icky but I like the bottle!  I filled it with white chocolate candy corn M&M's which were icky, too, but soooo cute in the bottle.  My label features Candy Corn Kiddles (colored).  I also made a wrapper and decorated the cap with some Halloween paper that I've had in my stash for a pretty long time.

So easy and so much fun.  If I had liked the wine in that bottle, I probably would've made more of them.

The pre-colored image made this so easy and quick.  We'll see you over at the Digital Delights blog for all the Halloween fun.  Enjoy those trick or treaters tonight.

Tuesday Morning Sketches #222

Good Morning everyone!  Thank you so much for stopping by and visiting me today.  This week's sketch is up at TMS and it's a little similar to Jess's sketch last week - so not the intention.  But I look at it this way - now you've got a head start.

What I created to share with you today is a page that is a tribute to my sister.  October is her birth month, but she also celebrates her 6th year as a survivor!

This is one my favorite pictures of Theresa.  I had to snag this off of Facebook - she made it so small, to use it here it sort of pixelated.  But still, a beautiful woman and a beautiful page.

I used My Memories Suite software and  Just Pink Breast Cancer Awareness kit by Just So Scrappy.  I love this kit!  It's on sale for $1.99 and what a bargain.  This kit is FULL of papers and embellishments.  So pretty.  And if you use my code that's in the top right of sidebar to get the software, you'll get $10 off plus you'll receive a $10 store voucher and you can grab this kit and others with that!  What a deal.

Join us over at Tuesday Morning Sketches for some fun and inspiration.  Have a fabulous day!

Delightful Challenges Thursday

Hello!  I hope your week is going well.  It's Thursday and time for another fun challenge at Delightful Challenges featuring Digital Delights by Louby Loo digi stamps.

This week the challenge is WINGED THINGS.  So anything with wings!  I'm featuring Flying Roxster on my card.  Remember last week was the frame challenge?  I said that I loved it so much - yeah, well, I did because my card this week has a frame, too!

I love this paper, too!  Isn't it fun?!  I do hope you'll pop on over to join us this week.  Have a great day!

Tuesday Morning Sketches #221

Good morning!  Happy Tuesday.  Today my post is combining lots of fun things today.  First of all, Tuesday Morning Sketches and then I pulled in The Stamp Doctor to join the fun and then added one of my {other} favorite challenges, Kraft Journal.

So let me share my card and then I'll tell you all about it.

So my card is pretty true to the sketch that Jessi created for us.  Jessi is also sponsoring so I used one of her beautiful hand-crocheted mats in the newest color she's offering... Kraft.  Gorgeous!

I also needed to create a card for The Stamp Doctor so why not use the beautiful (G023) Dahlia Bouquet stamp.  Instead of coloring pink, I chose a more Autumn color palette and then vintaged it up a bit.  I love the hues oranges and rusts, sitting against this beautiful deep turquoise.  The paper I am using is from My Mind's Eye All Dolled Up collection.  All the colors are from Kraft Journal's color theme challenge this week.

I do hope you enjoy my card and that it inspires you to play along with Tuesday Morning Sketches or Kraft Journal (might as well put a plug in for their challenges, too) or perhaps even to shop a little at The Stamp Doctor where you can get great stamps at a great price, awesome papers, TSD exclusive dies and Spellbinders dies.  Doctor Mechele also has a wonderful selection of accessories to finish off your cards and scrapboook pages.

Have a great day!

Delightful Challenge Thursday

Hello everyone!  I hope you're enjoying your week.  Mine seems to be going by pretty quickly despite the hours I'm putting in.  Oh well, I'm not minding all this overtime so much, I'll have Christmas money.

This week's challenge is up at Delightful Challenges.  I really like this one.

FRAME IT

(use a frame or mat)

Now this is pretty simple and to me sort of like an anything goes challenge because who doesn't use a mat?  So let me show you what I made with it.  Was I talking about Christmas a minute ago?

I absolutely love my card!  I am featuring Carolers Accessories Set and A Touch of Christmas Sentiments set.  My base is a white base and then I used a great piece of paper (and my last one) from the Merry Christmas collection by Echo Park.  I cut a frame from the Spellbinder Rectangles and Scalloped Rectangles dies and glued the lamp post to the frame.  Then I sponged a bit of black ink (I think I need to get Black Soot Distress Ink) on the sentiment and adhered that to the card.  My final touch was a to add a hand-made poinsettia - leaves from Foliage Shapabilities and little baubles for the center.  I hope you like it as much as I do.
