Happy Birthday - SNSSDC Color Challenge

Today we have a color challenge for you at the Sweet 'n Sassy Digi Challenge. We challenge you to use Red, Yellow, and Purple...and of course you can use a neutral color in there. Here is what I came up with. I decided to use the Rhubarb's Balloons digi this time around. I colored with markers, and layered onto some red CS. Next I grabbed some yellow checkered PP and layered that down. Finally I layered onto a layer of red again. Next I embellished. I needed more purple, so I used some purple ribbon, purple gems, and a purple CS oval for my sentiment. Last, I added some balloon eyelets.

Now head on over to the SNSSDC Blog and see what the rest of the DT gals came up with using this color challenge. Then play along!

Football LO page 2

HI there. I promised to show you page 2 of my Buffalo Bills Game LO. Well here it is! I used some more of that football PP I used on the page the other day. But you can also see that adorable little cheerleader mouse! That is a stamp from QKR Stampede! I stamped her off and colored with markers. I thought it went perfect with the photo of my girls with the Jills.

Well that is all for now. I am off to do some laundry...lucky me!

Creative Belli - Paper Piecing

Hi there. Today we have a brand new challenge for you at the Creative Belli Challenge. This time around we want you to do some paper piecing. The key...make sure you use something "old" in the process. For my "old" item, I used an old stamp set this time.

I started by stamping the Poppy image (from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps) off on white paper. Then I stamped again on the PP from Echo Park. I then paper pieced the flowers and the leaves. I used a marker to color in the rest of the image (stems). I then layered the image onto some more PP from Echo Park, and added the sentiment. My mom said she needed a sympathy card, so I thought this would work perfect!

Well I will send you off to the Creative Belli Blog now to see the rest of the inspiration from the Belli Girls. Then play along, and link up your creation.

Feature...

Hey...I am soooo excited! I was chosen for the Showcase on You feature on the Nikki Sivils blog this week! Head on over and check it out. Soooo cool. SO in honor of this awesome occasion, I thought I would share a LO page I made this weekend using some of the Gingerbread Lane Collection from Nikki too!

I made this simple LO using some photos of my DD's class snowshoeing during gym class last year. We are so lucky to have snow shoes at our school for the kids to use during the winter months. The kids LOVE it...although they quickly learned it isn't easy. For this LO, I used a sizzix to cut the letters from one of the PP in the line. I also used the little mitten die cut from the collection too.

Well be sure to check out the other featured ladies on the Nikki Sivils Blog too. Have a great day!

Football Game LO #1

Hi there. I told you I would be back with another LO today. Well...sorry it took a little longer then I hoped. I haven't been feeling well today. I went to lay down earlier, and kept getting interrupted, then I had to get the kids from school...and well I am finally sitting down and trying to stay awake long enough to post this...lol. Anyway, I wanted to share a LO I made using the Cheerleader Balloon holder stamp from Eureka Stamps. My older DDs went to a Buffalo Bills pre-season football game, and I wanted to scrap the photos my DH took for me. This is the first of 2 LOs I made for this event. As you can see, I used that adorable Cheerleader Balloon Holder stamp in the bottom corner. I used some balloon eyelets in Bills colors as her balloons. The rest of the LO is pretty simple...added a border using a punched boarder I got at my crop this weekend, and a piece of football PP.

Well, I am off to try to stay awake long enough to fold laundry...although that doesn't sound like much fun...lol.

Trouble...

Hi there. I have returned from my beautiful weekend away. I had an amazing time in Silver Lake, NY scrapbooking my weekend away. See this gorgeous house......that is where I spent my weekend. With good friends, good food, and LOTS of scrapbooking...you can't ask for much more! Well...I got sooo much done this weekend, and will be sharing some of the pages with you through out this week. I am going to start with this page.

I just LOVE this page! I made this for the DCWV September Stack-a-holic challenge. Here is the sketch they provided. I used the DCWV Naturals Stack to create my page. This photo was taken by a friend of mine of my youngest DD. I thought the natural colors went perfect with the photo. I also added some brads and ribbon along with the Naturals Stack papers. Well...that is all for now. I will be back later today with a LO page I made using one of the stamps from Eureka Stamps!

SNSS Digi Challenge - Border Punch

Hi there. Today we have a brand new challenge for you at the Sweet 'n Sassy Digi Challenge. This time around we want you to use a border punch along with a digi image. Here is what I came up with. Since I have been in an apple mood all week, (I went to the local market and got apples. I made applesauce and apple pie so far.) I decided to use the Rhubarb Picking Apples Digi from the Sweet 'n Sassy stamps Store. Next I did some layering using papers from Imaginisce. I used my border punch on the apple PP and the red PP. Last I added some ribbon and a couple felt flowers.

Now head on over to the SNSSDC Blog, and see what the other DT gals have come up with. Then play along!

I am off now...I am going away for the weekend to a scrap booking retreat. I am soooo excited. I may be posting some LOs throughout the weekend. If I get too into my work, then I will have some to share with you over the next couple weeks. Have a great weekend!
