Beauty

This girl is beautiful --even made up like a snake! :-) I entered this in my friend Stacy's challenge.

First Day of School - Senior Year

I used a sketch from Artful Delight to create this layout of Mitch leaving the house on his first day of Senior year. Yes, my baby is not only driving himself to school but to senior year! I don't see how that is possible, but that is a story for another day!

Misc San Diego Zoo photos

I used this fun sketch from DCWV (Nana's Nursery Baby Boy AND Hittin' The Books stacks) and the citrus color challenge over at The Paper Variety to make this miscellaneous layout from the San Diego Zoo.  I used JBS paint to stamp my phrases.  Did you notice the poor little gummy bear who was impaled on a cactus???

Thanks for visiting!

My Little Artist

I made this layout of my little artist (about 10 years ago)!!! When he was little, Mitchell loved making art projects!  I used Sketchy Thursday's latest challenge and make it messy for Stacy's challenge, and it fits Scrapfit's Workout #45 (see comment about toilet paper roll)!   I used several different mists as well as some messy Jenni Bowlin yellow paint. I put the yellow paint on an empty toilet paper roll and also used the paint on the "brush".   I totally used some really old stash along with some fun newer things on this layout!!! Can you tell???? The buttons are Jenni Bowlin. I love them. I've been hoarding them.

Thanks for visiting! Hope you are having a great day!

Old Wives Tale - Butterflies

Did you know that there is an Old Wives Tale that three butterflies together mean good luck?  When I saw 

Simon Says Stamp and Show an Old Wive's Tale!, I was curious to find a fun tale using butterflies! This is what I made based on the tale.  Anyway, I used a sketch I found on Stacy HW's challenge at Sketches 4 All, and I used Doris' idea of have three ribbons/trims, using at least one in an unusual way! How fun! I doubled stamped the butterfly-first with Jenni Bowlin yellow paint and then with some CTMH Hollyhock ink.  The three trims/ribbons:  1) yellow at bottom, Crate Paper; 2) unusual way 1:  butterfly antennae, Crate Paper; and 3) unusual way 2:  made a ribbon flower.

Thanks so much for visiting my blog today! Please leave a comment to let me know you were here!!!

Thanks, and have a great day!

Julie and Her Kittens

Hey, wouldn't you like to scrap-lift this layout to win a prize from Jessica Stott at Lucky Girl Crafts? Go to The XOXO challenge site and choose a LO or two to scrap-lift and you just might win the an awesome kit from Jessica.  Your layouts are due by July 31, 2010.  Don't forget to come back after the contest to vote!  However, *Voting from now on will go a little differently. We will still post a poll on the 1st of every month with the scraplift creations posted for the public to vote on. However, the Lipstick Chicks will be having our own little voting party privately and will get the final say. The winner of the public voting IF different from who the Lipstick Chicks pick, will get an Honorable Mention. This should eliminate any concerns for a popularity contest. Thank you to everyone who has been scraplifting us! We are SO delighted each and every time to see your scraplift creations.

Here is a picture of the prize!
