I was feeling scrappy today and I got out some of the photos from my daughter's 4th grade field trip to Carson City and got busy! I had some luscious papers from Glitz Design - Afternoon Muse. These papers are just so dreamy and romantic I LOVE THEM!
I printed out the cool sketch #41 challenge from
Frosted Design. I like to start with a sketch challenge when I get a chance. Plus I'm been so busy that I haven't really gotten to do any fun challenges lately. I'm also going to enter it in
Wifey Cookie's "F is for Flower" challenge on Sketches4all and in the
Flower challenge at Scrap it Girl. And of course I had to enter it in the
Glitz Design May challenge which is to honor the women in your life.
I've been doing a class at
Big Picture Classes and one of their class challenges is to use photo strips as a design element. That is kind of what I was trying to do with my photos on this layout. There was also a challenge to use letters "large and small" and I did that on here too.
I pulled some flowers, rub on's, brads, ribbon, a doily and vellum quotes from my stash to finish it out. And I don't want to forget to mention the Crystal Stickles!! Love me some sparkle.
I love doing layouts. I wish there were more hours in the day so I could make more of them!
I had time to make a couple of cards and a gift box with a gift card holder too but these are DT projects that I can't post yet. You will be seeing them soon!!
I'm excited because the stamps and
24 pack Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers - Brights arrived in the mail today for
my Blogiversary candy!! If you haven't entered yet be sure and do it while you are here!!

There is also the
Crafter's Companion May Customer Appreciation Giveaway Week 4 going on right now too. Sign up for that while you are here too and pass the word along!
ENTER HERE.
And finally, I've really been quiet about it this month but I would LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it if you would go and enter the
Crafter's Companion USA Challenge Blog May Flower's Challenge. All you have to do is pull out a Crafter's Companion Stamp and make a project with a flower on it! EASY and Fun! And you could win a
Crafter's Companion Ultimate Tool!!!!!!! Everyone needs an Ultimate Tool! Everyone! So what are you waiting for...it is time to help a sister out! lol
