Sandi's Challenge

Sandi's challenge at MSW was to use a photo of an empty stocking and use non-traditional Christmas colors for the LO. Well, she actually stated it this way.... you can use red, but then there could be no green.

I just love my DHs stocking!! This was a fun LO to create! I used papers from Graphic45, Jenni Bowlin, Basic Grey, and Cosmo Cricket.

Here are a couple close ups:



The stockings and arrow sticker are from CC, I made the circles by punching them out from the BG paper. The letters are AdornIt and the buttons are from Foof-a-Laa, BG, and my stash!



I used a pattern I made for the journaling spot and cut it out from some Jenni Bowlin' mini papers, then I added some Walnut ink to age it bit and give it a fun feel.

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!

Holiday Rewind Crop LOs

The Holiday Rewind Crop at My Sketch World is in full effect!! I think there are 19 or 20 challenegs total and they are all ROCKIN'. I have yet to get the blinkie here, but hopefully it will come soon..... most of you out there know I struggle with those types of things and it takes me a bit to get it to actually work!! LOL!

Kim's challenge was to use an aftermath photo and to use some non-scrappy paper.



This is my LO I created for the challenge. My non-scrappy paper is some wrapping paper snibbles I glued onto the photo! Since I am waiting for DH to build me a shelf to hold my 12x12 albums in, I have been playing with 8.5x11s.... I am liking them and will add them to what I do, but I still love loading up a 12x12!!!

Here a few close ups:



I used a variety of papers for this project from MM, American Crafts, Imaginesce, and the scalloped paper is unknown. the quote is from Cosmo Cricket.



The pom pom ribbon I used is from recollections and my letter stickers are from Bella Blvd., Jenni Bowlin, and AdornIt - Carolee's Creations.

It's Crop Time!!!!

At MSW!!!! WaHoo!!

The Holiday Rewind Crop has just started and it is going to be a blast!!! Lots of great challenges posted already and more to come tomorrow. The crop will last all month long, so hop on over and check it out!

Today was my day to post a challenge. I went with a Make-A-Scene challenge. The idea is to create a scene, incorporating your pictures, using different elements on your page.

Here is my example:



I created my scene by using the blue snowflake paper for my sky, the brown for the ground, adding trees, a house, snowman, and some additional snowflakes. There you have my version of a winter wonderland!!
