Sketch-A-Thon Happenings

The February Sketch-A-Thon at My Sketch World is going strong!! It is amazing to see all the different creations being made using the same sketches. More than half the sketches are posted and we still have 9 more to go!!! WOW! I must say Lucy is doing an outstanding job coming up with a variety of sketches! You have until the 3rd of March to participate, so don't hesitate to get on over there and start printing out sketches!!

I have been able to get through a total of 3 so far. I already posted my LO for sketch 1. Sketch 2 was a card sketch.

My card: Love Nest



I just love this fun line of paper from My Mind's Eye!!! The colors are fab and the birdies are just soo cute!!

Close Up:



I used a Prima flower, button from Foof-a-la, ribbon from MM, and the chipboard hearts are from Basic Grey covered with Martha Stewart glitter.

Sketch #3 is a LO sketch!! I am LOVIN' all the circles Lucy is using!

My LO: 1st Chick



Hehe!!! I am soo glad my DS has such an awesome sense of humor, he cracked up when he saw this title!!! I used a mix of BG papers and I'm not sure where the circle die is from.

Here's some close ups:



I love that little recipe card from October Afternoon! It worked perfectly for this country LO!



The butterflies are from K&Co. and I cut the trees from Bella Blvd. paper. The tall flower is from Basic Grey, so is teh border sticker down the side of the picture. The lower border is K&Co.



I really love the country feel I was able to get for this LO and the softness there is for a boy's page, yet I don't feel like it is too frilly!

Hope to see you at MSW!!

Wendi's Challenge

Wendi has a super yummy recipe challenge posted for the Holiday Rewind Crop at MSW!!

The ingredients are:

Use blue
Use an ink color other than black or brown
Use snowflake(s)
Use something sparkly
Use photo of snow

I have a feeling I may be missing something on the list so you should just go and check out the MSW crop!!!

Here's what I came up with:



I just love these pictures I captured of DS while playing on our snow day this year!! They were perfect to do a sequence of him creating a snowball!

The papers I used are from My Mind's Eye, Imaginesce, and Cosmo Cricket.

Here's a close up:



The letters I used are Thickers and AdornIt. The snowflake brads are from MM and the flourish is Cosmo Cricket. I made the journaling spot with a Stampology stamp and made it blue by mixing some Pearl X with a glossy medium and painted it on there!

My 1st Completed Challenge!!

Lots of things seem to be interrupting scrapping these days, but I pray the good Lord will bring relief soon and things can get back to normal... or at least our family's version of it!! LOL!!

So I was happy when I was finally able to sneak some scrappy time in and complete one of the MSW Holiday Rewind Crop Challenges. I was able to get to Wendi's Let It Snow LO. Her recipe called for using a picture of snow.... I have oodles of these from our numerous snowy days here!.....to use blue on your page, ink other than black and brown (oooooo, tough one!), use a snowflake, use something sparkly, and use a quote.

Here is what I came up with:



I used oodles of blue on this LO, my inks were white and blue, I used snowflake brads, the letters, snowflakes, and journaling spot are sparkly, and I used a quote from Cosmo Cricket.

My patterned papers are from My Mind's Eye, Cosmo Cricket, and Imaginesce. te letters are Thickers and AdornIt, and the ribbon and brads are from MM.
