What I'am is...

Hello my Scrappy Friends! This is my second post of the day! I'm getting this challenge in as a last minute thing! I found both of the challenge blogs this evening and I really wanted to participate! 

Here's my  page-

I just had to make an Elmo so I cut a circle and then took my scissors and gave him a hair cut, added those big eye's and cut out his nose and mouth! I think he came out pretty good!

The first challenge was for Scrapping the Music, The challenge was The song  "What I Am" and it was created by Will.I.Am for Sesame Street! 

I knew I had pictures of my grandson in his favorite chair and it would be perfect for this challenge! 

The second was to find a sketch to use. I came across My Mind's Eye Blog and was thrilled they had a challenge and it would work! I used My Mind's Eye Complete Boy paper for the majority of my LO. Here is the sketch for blog challenge #33.

Thanks for stopping by:)

ROAR...

Hello my Scrappy Friends! Hope everyone has had a wonderful weekend! A good weekend for me is when I can fit in some time to get in my scrap room! Here's a page I did using the sketch from Frosted Designs sketch along Tuesdays sketch #36. I had some fun with this one combining it with the Tic Tac Toe challenge over at The Paper Variety.

Here's my page!

First of all I cut the big circle out of the bottom layer to conserve paper, then I used my Tim Holtz distresser on the edges of the paper and then inked up the edges.

A few close ups.

I really thought this dinosaur needed eyelashes so I made some!  I also made some crazy spring flowers that I'm sure they had back in the time of dinosaurs in the stone age! I used Lacelon ribbon that I melted the edges and topped it off with a cardboard circle that I inked and topped it off with a bright yellow button in the center!

I not only inked my edges but used some chalk as well! I added foam tape under the dinosaurs to make them pop off the page! Don't you just love goggle eyes! Love them!!!

The picture was edited in Picasa's picnic program!

Here's the sketch-

 

Here's the path I took with 

1.Black & White photo,

2. Spring theme- I made the flowers from what I think would have come from the stone age!! 

3.Include stitching- I machine stitched!

The paper I used was My Minds Eye- Complete Boy  and The Paper Doll Dress Up Cricut Cartridge.

Thanks for stopping by! Hope you'll leave me a comment & I will come over and leave you one too:)

Farm Fun...Sketch Inspiration sketch #310

Hello My Scrappy Friends:)  Spring break is starting and I'm looking forward to some extra time in my scrap room! I'm sure I will make it to the pool and the beach too I'm sure I will be thinking about whatever page I'm working on at the moment as I'm catching some sunshine!

Here's a page I did for Sketch Inspiration. I really enjoyed working on this page with the bright primary colors! I was also able to enter this into Scrapbookers Anoyomous use stickers challenge I also loved that I was able to use some of those Mrs. Grossman stickers I have had for a very long time in my stash! I have been trying to use something from my stash of craft supplies on all my pages so I won't feel like I'm hoarding it!

Here are a few close ups!

I wrote out the song Old McDonald had a farm eieio... all around the boarder of my page. 

Worked in some hand, machine and foe stitching, plus some buttons and a buckle thing that I had saved from I have no idea what!! 

I added foam tape to pop up my circle's. I like that it added a little dimension to the page.

Here's the sketch-

Noel...Three Challenges in One

Noel....Three Challenges in One plus One more:)
Hello my Scrappy Friends! I wanted to share a page I did for three different challenges. 

1. Whimsical Designs - Sketch challenge #44.

2. Hiding In My Craft Room (HIMCR)- #36 color challenge the colors are Monochromatic Green.

3. Really Reasonable Ribbon- Challenge #43 is Monochromatic Green & to use some kind of ribbon/lace or trim somewhere on your project.
Paper Issues- Go Green or Go Home

Here's my page-

I went with the Christmas theme because this was the first picture I came across that I could use green! My little grandson has on a green shirt and with it being Christmas Eve it was perfect.

I took scraps of ribbon and paper for the side strips, some old Christmas stickers that I put on card board and layered them to look like a Christmas tree then popped it off the page with foam tape, added a wooden star button for the topper. The title was bought just yesterday at a garage sale! Whoop Whoop I think it cost me a whole 10 cents. I did some distressing using the Tim Holtz distresser and sewed on the title and the crochet ribbon. 

Here's the sketch-

My First card challenge! And a surprise!

Hello my Scrappy Friends! I hope you haven't fallen out of your chair seeing that I actually participated in a card challenge! The biggest kicker of all is that I also did a video showing you the results! I know I'm shocked myself! I have a very good friend that I have known since sixth grade and she has never failed to remember my birthday all these years! I actually remembered this year in time to make her a very special birthday card and get it mailed up to her! I was inspired by the card challenge over at Frosted Designs and thought why not make her birthday card using this sketch! I'm so glad I did I really love how it turned out!

Here's my card

A different view of the flower! I love how this flower pops!

And the inside surprise!!!

I recycled/up cycled an old card I had received! I was trying to get ideas for the inside because I hate to write, when a light-bulb came on to use the music that the card played! So I cut it to size and covered the sentiment. Now I wish I would've made the inside pretty too but I was in such a hurry to finish to get it in the mail that I forgot:( Whoops...

1. Frosted Designs - card sketch # 13

2. Made Especially for You- Stitching...I stitched around one of the paper layers.

3 .Celebrate the Occasion- Birthday-must use Bling.......I added the little rhinestones
