January Sketches in Thyme Challenge

Welcome to 2016!! 

Here is my first post of 2016.  Yes, I'm a bit lame and haven't posted anything yet this year.  I figure I should start things out with a bang and share my layout using the newest sketch challenge at Sketches in Thyme!  This sketch is by the very prolific sketch designer, Bev Code.  I was inspired to turn the sketch and use two photos instead of 3.

I couldn't help but use these totally adorbs photos of my god daughter's baby, Myla!  Baby photos are the best to use, right?!  I was inspired to use the colors red, white and blue by the January Challenge at Scrap Our Stash. The challenge is to look at a book cover and be inspired by it in some way and you must use white paint or paint splatters too.  I used a stencil on the white card stock background and I splattered on some red, blue and white Heidi Swapp Color Shine. It was fun making the base paper myself!

Well, what do you think?  Like it?  Inspired to go scrap?? If so, rush over to Sketches in Thyme and get a good look at that sketch and then go get to scrapping!

Thanks for stopping by today!  Until next time...happy scrapping!

Scrap Our Stash Challenge

Hello my friends!  Glad you had time to stop and check out my blog today!  I went to our monthly Scrap Diva's crop and managed to get some layouts made!  WOO HOO!  Spending time with friends and scrapping...that's always great, right?  I was inspired to do the challenge at Scrap Our Stash.  

There is a sketch challenge plus a bingo card.  I did the diagonal B row from left to right.  (Brown, Doily, FREE, Kraft and Graph Paper)  This bingo was really a challenge for me!  (me with big eyes)

Here is what I came up with:

Shabby Chic isn't really my forte but I'm happy with how it came out.   I'm back to baby photos again...(smile)  Who doesn't love a baby photo??!!

Thanks for stopping and looking today! Until next time...happy scrapping!

Scrappy Friends October

Hello friends!  I have a project to share with you today!  It is always fun to do the Scrappy Friends Challenges by Rochelle, Kelly, and Brenda.  You can do one challenge or all three of them.  If you do them all you get your name in the hat for the grand prize.  I combined all three challenges on this layout:

I did the sketch challenge by Brenda over at GrandDiva's Creative Corner.

I did Rochelle's Tic Tac Toe challenge at Through the Eye's of Rochelle Spears.  I used "Toe" down - Diamond shape, Mixed Alphas and Pearls.

And finally I was inspired by the diamonds on Kelly's Inspiration board at Creating with Paper and More.

I love how my layout turned out and I hope you like it too!  Thanks for looking!  Until next time...happy scrapping!
