I've been a busy bee!

Hope everyone had a great weekend! Mine was very tiring and busy as usual. My son Cameron had his first soccer game of the season today and he did great! It was nice to get out there and watch him play again. Today was my Hubby's birthday and he spent it working :{ I had lots of time in my craft room this weekend so that was nice for a change. I made a layout based off of a sketch from this really cool site called Let's Scrap over on Ning. It's a challenge site and they have lots of great inspiration to get your mojo flowing! They are having a DT Call over there until April 16th so I thought I would give it a whirl! You can find the sketch and information about the DT Call on the main page of the site.

Below is my take on the sketch. This is of my daughter Finley and when she got her face painted like a butterfly. The title is "Flutter Wonder" and that's the title Finley chose when she saw the layout. I thought it was a great choice! I used Basic Grey Kioshi paper, chipboard flowers from Making Memories, K & Company flower stickers, Inque Boutique butterfly stamp, cut all die cuts on my Quickutz Silhouette. I also used some 3mm Swarovski Crystals for the circle on the bottom left and on the butterfly. I think the papers really bring out her eyes :}

Below is the card I made for my awesome Hubby! Happy Birthday baby! This is for the April 2010 week #1 Card Challenge over at Simply Scrapping Crafts on Ning. It's hard to see, but I made it on a clear transparency background. I used American Crafts papers, Fancy Pants clear acrylic circle, star & sentiment spot, Unity Stamps, The Stamps Of Life by Stephanie Barnard & Inque Boutique, random buttons, stitching & ribbon. I used a piece of mercerized cotton to tie on the star. Hubby loved his card and then I promptly took it away to get pictures and upload it! LOL!

Well that's it for me for now! I'll be back as soon as I have some more yumminess for you! TTFN!

Been a long while....

Since my last post, but I had to take a break and catch up on life for a bit. I'm back in the swing of things and can't wait to show you some of what I've been up to lately. Been having alot of fun doing some challenges over at Simply Scrapping Crafts.com. It's a great site with lots of challenges to keep you inspired. You can check it out here. On to the good stuff!

The layout below is of my son Cameron and his "Cat That Ate The Canary" smile he always gives. You know he's done something wrong if you get this smile that's for sure!

I used everything from the Scarlet Lime January 2010 kit here. Love her kits! You gotta check them out because they rock!

Below is a layout I just did for a color challenge over at Simply Scrapping and I think it turned out pretty good. It's of my dog Shank, who we love so much. The name shank was given to him by his previous owners, not one we would have chosen, but we call him Doodles instead. I used another Scarlet Lime kit mostly from May 2009 kit here. Isn't he adorable! This is the best picture I've ever been able to get of him because he's really scared of the camera for some reason.

Below is a card I did for another challenge over at Simply Scrapping for a color challenge. I used scraps of My Mind's Eye, Prima flower, I think the stamp was The Stamps Of Life With Stephanie Barnard located here called Thanks2you, Die cut border, sentiment spot & card base all done with my Quickutz Silhouette. Love the colors on this card and hope to be able to paint the inside of my house some of these colors. So bright and cheerful!
That's it for right now, but I'll be back tonight or tomorrow with more goodies to share! Another great challenge site is Scrapbook Challenges and they are a group of really nice girls. They are having a DT Call right now and the link above will take you there, but you will need to sign up and become a member to check it out on Ning. Also, don't forget to go and check out Simply Scrapping also on Ning for awesome challenges and great inspiration! Hope everyone had an awesome Easter! TTFN!
