Sketches In Thyme Design Team Call !!!!

Hello my Scrappy Friends!! I'm trying out to be a Sketchy Maven on the Sketches In Thyme Design Team!!  This would be the first time I have ever attempted to be on any Design Team. I decided that now was the time because I will be having more free time come May. So here is my page, I hope you like it.

Some of my favorite things to do lately is to distress the paper with my Tim Holtz distresser and distress with ink. I saw on Pinterest the idea for a rolled paper banner. It's just something different and I really like the look!

 The deadline is April 20, so you still have time to enter with me!
Here's the sketch-

I will also be entering this into the challenge over @  Get Inspired With Chatter Scene Just Elements challenge. I made my paper flowers and hand cut my banner, added the chipboard elements and the paper word quotes. 

My Recipe-

My Mind's Eye- Totally Girl, Complete Boy

Colorbok- small chipboard

DNC floss

Ink- Martha Stewart, Studio G

So Glad you stopped by :)

Wish me LUCK!! :)

Big Kids Being Silly...

Hello my Scrappy friends! I was able to fit in some time in my craft room and get in a challenge! For my page I used  sketch #74 from Sketches In Thyme  and combined it with the Week end Warm-Up #26 @ Scrap Fit use 4 photos. Now working with the sketch was a challenge to use 4 photos. I cut them all down to 3"x3"  square.  I had to turn them and overlay them just right to fit them on my page so I could add a thin mat underneath to balance all the colors on the page. Speaking of colors I will also be entering this into the challenge over at Childs Play Challenges, which is to be inspired by the game Candy Land! Well to me the game is bright and fun for young kids! As you can see my kids wanted to be that age where they would've played Candy Land!!  I have also been using a lot of my stash that I haven't used in such a long time. Actually the paper and the elements were from a stack that I have had for years and have never used because they are not my go to colors.
Here's my page, it's of my kids being silly on a really cool playground at a place we were staying at in Orlando. They all wished they had cool playgrounds like that when they were little!

Well after what I saw the design teams do I think I will not only use it on my cards but my scrap book pages as well! I will also be entering this into Hiding in My Craft Room #38 KISS "Keeping it Simple Sweetie" challenge. Well I did just that, my card couldn't be any simpler.

Here's my card-

I scored all around the outer perimeter and four sections.

Here you can see it better.
