Well last night I decided to do the challenge from Sketches in Thyme .  Here is the sketch they gave us to work with.

I chose to use only three photos.  I used Photo Play Plaid4Fun papers. Scenic Route Chipboard stars which I first coated with Gesso, and then embossed with Stampendous sunny yellow embossing powder. I then coated them with Stickles Frosted Lace.  I cut the title with my Cameo and did a little "faux' Stitching around it with my Pitt Artist pen. I used Bazzil cardstock to back my photos. The admit one sticker is from the Photo Play package, I mounted it in some chipboard to give it some dimension, the rest of the stickers are also from the same package. I also used a Martha Stewart punch to create the edge.

Thanks,

All Done

I am very proud of myself this month. Things are starting to turn around for me. Before I had the stroke, I never watched TV other than for the news and I scrapped all the time. After I had the stroke, I very rarely did any scrapbooking and all I did was sit and watched TV all the time. My life was turned upside down. The past few months things have been slowly turning around again. I am proud to say that this month I have completed every challenge posted at Creative Inspiration the group that I am very proud to belong to where the people are very nice and inspiring also encouraging.
This card was the last challenge.

For this card I used a cut file from the Sihouette store using my Cameo. The ribbon and stamp are both unknown. I used Photo Play paper, Prima flower, Bazzil cardstock and Pitt Artist pens. The Brad is also unknown.

Almost There!

     Yes, I am almost at 50 layouts for the month of March, just two more to go but I don't think I will make it.  I have completed 6 so far today.  Two of those are a double pager.

     Let's start with that one.  I used Basic Grey's Serenade paper.  My Kreaxion's Circle cutter came in handy while creating these layouts and I used a Fiskar's edge punch as well. The cardstock stickers are from Karen Foster while I used my Cricut Expression and the Sure Cuts a Lot program to cut the Title with the Brush Script font.

To create Sweet Pea. I used paper from Pebbles, flowers from the Dollarama, Butterflies from K&Company and the bling is from KaiserCraft.

He's all boy and no mistake about it. I used Cosmos Cricket Joy Ride papers, chipboard from Little Yellow Bicycle and I created the faux stitching with my Pitt Artist black pen.

Nothing like starting young to play Basket Ball. I started with papers from Imaginisce, I used die cuts from the same line. The Alphas are from Bella Blvd and I used my Pitt Artist black pen for the faux stitching.

Paper came from the Paper Loft's Every Day Life. The die cuts are from Imaginisce, the button's are from the Dollar Store and the ribbon is unknown.

Gotta Love Scrapping Kids

     I know I really love it when I am scrapping the little ones.  My mind wanders back to when my daughter was small and how precious she was.. not that she isn't precious now but she doesn't live with me now and she she isn't wandering around now saying those cute little things or doing those little things that always made me laugh.

     I have so many photos of these children to scrap that I am going to be remembering my daughter for a long time to come and therefore I am going to be enjoying my scrapping for a long time.

This first layout of Skylar with his two younger Siblings, Leah and Brayden is just too sweet. It makes me wonder if having only the one child was a wise choice.  Yeah, it was, I would never have been able to handle more than one.. heck I couldn't even handle just the one.

I had some fun with this one but alas I didn't keep very good track of what I was using... Me Bad!!What I do know, I used some Pink Paisley, some Echo Park, a little Basic Grey,and I also used a TCW stencil with Liquitex natural sand for texture. I also used a die to cut my banner.

For this next one I couldn't help think how Skylar looked so darn cute all decked out in a Fireman's outfit and how Janet never thought of being anything but a teacher. Even her second year of College she was still studying to be a teacher. Before the third year though we convinced her that that was not her niche. From the time she was 9 years old, she was into computers. She just had a thing with them, it was like she was born to them. Nothing about them escaped her tiny little mind. At nine years old she told a salesman at a Sear's store that he was going to have a "syntax error", he told her he knew what he was doing, yet he DID have a syntax error. She is now 40 years old and has never had to look for a job, it has always been headhunters looking for her. Yeah, she is very comfortable in her computer "niche".

I give you "To the Rescue".
For this layout I used Basic Grey's Serenade papers. The alphas are also from the same line. I used Momenta's Die Cuts. To cut the large background I used my Cricut Expression with the Storybook cartridge. I used a Martha Stewart edge punch for the little border. I also used a TCW's stencil with Liquidtex molding paste for some extra texture. The faux stitching was done with a Pitt Artist Black pen. To Attach the alphas I used Tombow glue.

Some Wedding layouts and others

     I can't believe it!!  I just counted and I have done 30 layouts so far this month and I still have 7 days to go.  I am quite pleased with myself.  I am so blessed that Tammy brought me all her photos so I have lots to scrap and quite a choice to choose from so there is no getting bored doing the same thing all the time.

     I am also very happy that Boston Fanatics have their sketch marathon going on and I have mega sketches to choose from for my layouts because I am lost without a sketch to start with.  Okay so these are not in the order in which I did them.. at least I don't think they are LOL

    For this sketch I used Forever in Time's Rocket's and Sprockets Bleep Borp paper, also Recollections Rocket's and Sprockets paper. Both collections I have had in my stash forever. The alphas are Heidi Swapp. All the embellies were fussy cut from the paper. I used a White Gelly Roll pen for the faux stitching and to outline around the alphas. This was sketch #91.

     I didn't use a sketch for this one. I used Momenta papers, Fancy Pants bigboard Chipboard, Ranger Black Sparkle embossing powder, Jolee's Boutique embellishments, Heidi Swapp alphas and Recollections flowers.

     This one was sketch #86. I chose papers from ColorBok and Momenta after I gave my cardstock some misting with Lindy's mist using a stencil from Layer's of Color. I used my Cricut Expression and the Wedding Cartridge to cut my flowers and Michael's bling for the centers. The bit of lace is unknown and I topped it all of with a bit of stickles for some sparkle. I also used some diecuts from Momenta. The faux stitching was done with a Pitt Artist Medium Black pen.

     Sketch #82 was the perfect sketch for this layout even though it was a card sketch :)  I used paper from MME's Boy Crazy, also the title is from the same line. I used a Fiskar's punch for the edge.  The chipboard is from Little Yellow Bicycle.

I used sketch #90 for this one. Love love love this sketch. I kinda stuck to it too cause I really liked it LOL
I used Momenta and ColorBok papers for this layout. I cut the black flower with the Cricut and the Wedding cartridge,the title was also cut with the cricut and the Plantin Schoolbook cartridge, the white flowers were cut with a Sizzix die. I used Michael's bling for the center of the flowers. The swirls and the rings are Momenta diecuts. I also used a Viva Pearl Pen in liquid white on the title.

That's it for me for day.. I'm off to do some more scrapping.
