I scrapped!

It's been quite some time since I've done a layout. I joined in with the 24 hour challenge at Scrappin-n-Chattin, an awesome yahoo group that I belong to. My friend Sue picked THIS sketch from Jillibean Soup and the Winter Twig collection from Little Yellow Bicycle for me.  I am so glad she picked this collection, it gave me the incentive to scrap and enter this week's Lasting Memories challenge - Winter Wonderland and Falling Snowflakes! It has been ages and ages since I've been able to get a page entered there. I am also entering this week's Anything Goes challenge at The Paper Variety, it's been awhile since I've played there too. I think the desire to craft is slowly coming back, yay!

This is a picture from the day after the October snowstorm that we had. I cut into almost every piece of paper that I bought from my LSS. I think I need to get more so that I have enough to scrap the rest of the pictures! For some extra embellishing, I punched a few snowflakes from different Martha Stewart punches and added them with popdots.

Thanks for looking!

Snow Much Fun!

I just finished this 2 page layout of my cutie pie Amber. These are more pics from our first snowfall on the day after Christmas. We took her up the street to my parents' so she could run around in their fenced yard. She loves the snow! We've had a lot more since then and I've got lots more pics and a short video clip!

I incorporated the recipe challenge at Lasting Memories and I'm also throwing my name in the hat for a DT spot. I really enjoyed my time there last year and was sorry to step down when I had some health issues to deal with. Anywho back to the recipe - 1 ribbon (the sparkly one on the right page), 2 buttons (the white snowflakes on the left page), and 3 colors (eek...screwed up a teeny tiny bit here!). I focused on the red, white, blues in the Echo Park Wintertime paper. I didn't realize there was a little brown in it until it was too late. The layout design is my own and I'm very pleased with how it came out!

I'm finally off to bed, spent most of the night packing for a crop at a friend's house tomorrow! So many projects in my head...we'll see what I can get done!

TFL!

First Snow

I scrapped my first page of the year today. Yay!!!

Here's a sneak peek of the title ~ it wasn't my brightest idea to use the vinyl thickers since they don't show up well in the photo!

Of course I couldn't resist incorporating a few challenges~

The Paper Variety - started by my friends Abby & Suz months ago and I finally have the time to participate, woohoo!

and I'm entering it into the Double Dip challenge on the Yahoo Group Scrappin-N-Chattin, enter a challenge on a blog, forum, etc. and share that challenge with SNC.

These are the first pics that I've scrapped of our dog Amber. She's now 10 months old so this is her first experience with snow. We rescued her through the SPCA and she came from Alabama.
I used Bo Bunny's Winter Joy for the designer paper as well as the coordinating chipboard. The cardstock is Bo Bunny Double Dot. I just had to use my EK Success paw print border punch along the photo mat to mimic Amber's prints in the snow.


I used an older sketch from the Sketch Inspiration forum~

TFL!!
