My Creative Sketches: May Sketch Challenge

Oh, I just love getting a new sketch to play with and this month's sketch from MCS is no exception! It was super fun to play with and I'm loving how my layout came together...

 

 

this is the sketch we're playing along with this month...isn't it great!!!!

 

 

I used the Trend Setter collection from Fancy Pants Designs for my whole layout. I just love this collection! It is so fresh and fun and funky, it was just the perfect thing to use with these funny photos of my DD.

 

The title comes from the Brag Pad and worked perfectly!

 

 

I thought that if I placed the banner like it was in the sketch that it might make my layout look to cluttered so I moved it up to to top right corner. I put a circle around the number 10 on the paper because that is how old my daughter is.

 

 

I die cut some stars out of the coral and mint corrugated papers from the collection. I love the look of them, they give great texture.

 

 

I'm just loving this sticker a girl SHOULD be classy and fabulous! It's like it was made for this layout.

 

 

 

Anyways, that's it for me. Make sure you stop by the MCS blog to see what the rest of the DT did with this sketch as well as to check out the details of the sketch challenge and the awesome prize you could win for participating. I hope you'll play along :) Deadline is June 14th so you have lots of time!

 

Thanks for stopping by today!

My sneaky Dad!

Back in the days of film camera's my Dad used to take my camera and use it to take funny self-portraits so that I would get a surprise when I developed the film. When I mentioned to him that I was scrapbooking this layout he said he doesn't even remember doing that, but here are two pictures as PROOF Dad!!!

 

 

I'm sure there are more on the negatives if I look, but these are two I found that had already been printed out.

 

I used the Swagger Collection from Fancy Pants Designs for this layout. It was perfect for these pics of my Dad, especially the one with the mustaches! My dad has had at least a mustache for my whole life and a full beard for as long as I can remember.

 

Thanks for stopping by,

Have a great day

Growing in Unity Day 5

Well, my week of Growing in Unity has come to an end :( I had such an amazing week and I am so thankful for all the kind words left on my posts.

 

So what better way to finish off the week but with a little celebration!

 

CHEERS!!!

 

I love all the wine stamps from Unity!!! I don't even drink, but I think they make great cards for giving away to others!

 

 

You can't really tell from the photos but I used glossy accents over the glasses to make them look real.

 

For the sentiment I used the Let's Get Tipsy itty bitty. The wine glasses are from a different wine itty bitty called Wine and Friends

and now, since my week is over I have just one more little treat to share with you.

 

There is not a whole lot of stamping going on with this card, but the sentiment is from Unity so I thought I'd share...



 

The sentiment is from the Happily Ever After Kit of the Month that I also used for my Monday cards.

 

The papers, buttons, and chipboard sticker are from October Afternoon, and I just HAD to use my new lace with the zipper detail from Close to My Heart! Isn't it fabulous?!?!? They only sell it in this pink color, but I hope they make it in all the colors cause I would definitely buy them ALL!!!

 

 and now one final reminder about the PRIZES!!!

Growing in Unity Day 4

Holy Cow! This week is going by so fast, but I am having a GREAT time!!!

 

Thanks again for all the kind comments on my posts, they are so sweet and so greatly appreciated :)

 

Today I have a card that is a little different to share with you....lots and lots of embossing! both heat and dry.

 

 

I heat embossed the clouds with white embossing powder onto blue patterned paper.  The base of the card is dry embossed with little triangles. Check out the close up photo for more details.

 

The clouds and the sentiment are from the same Kit of the Month as the purse card from yesterday. It is called Take Time to Laugh. To finish off the card I just kept it simple and added some orange twine and buttons. Sweet and simple ;)

 

 and now...

Growing in Unity Day 3

Wow, Wednesday already?!? My Growing in Unity week is half way over :(

 

It has been so great reading all of the kind comments you have left for me. Please know that I read each and every one of them and I really appreciate your sweet words.

 

Today I have a fresh, fun and funky card that you could give your best friend. It would be great for a birthday card, hello, or just because.

 

 

The purses and the sentiment are both from an old Unity KOM from 2010 called Take Time to Laugh. I belonged to the KOM club for about a year and I absolutely LOVED it! I only stopped for financial reasons, but I would start up again in a heartbeat if I could. If you don't know about the Kit of the Month club you should check it out!!!

 

This is made with a color combo that is not typical for me, in fact I don't think I've ever used it before, but I think I really like how it came together.

 

anyways...
