A Sketchy Thursday Challenge

Here is a layout I did for Sketchy Thursday Challenge. I made extra copies of some pictures from this fall while in Indiana. The Grandparents don't want us to buy them presents, but they can not say no to scrap book pages! I try to make them a page for Birthdays, Christmas... This is the page I made for my Mother In-Law. Today is her Birthday!! Happy Birthday Mimi:)

I tried to keep this page simple because I didn't have much time to make it. I'm happy with the results, my Mother In -Law loves any thing that has to do with nature! 

Here's the Sketch I followed!

 My Recipe was fairly simple, I used paper from Harvest, Autumn Foliage Page Kit & DCWV- The Christmas combo. Stickers were from Creative Memories and Mrs. Grossmans Stickers.

I don't know about all of you but I have so many stickers and I'm trying to use them when I can. I just don't want to throw them out.

Hope you like my LO!

Going Green!

I found three fun challenges to try this weekend! I choose to do the sketch from Sketches In Thyme. The green challenge over at Really Reasonable Ribbon, anything green and to use ribbon/lace or trim. I also joined in the Green Blog Hop at The Paper Variety. 

I decided to not just use the color GREEN but to use recycled paper from DCWV, The Green Stack! I really liked this paper when I came across it at Joann Fabrics. I also recycled raffia ribbon from a wedding I had gone to, it was tied around some note cards!

I have to tell you I took this picture with lamp light because I was gone all day. Not the best quality but what cha gonna do! Here you can see that I hand stitched on my letters to add a little Green. I had just seen this on one of the blogs I follow and loved how she sew'd on her letters! I'm sorry I don't remember who to give credit too.

Here you can see the picture better! I used pop dots under the word together to add a little dimension.

Here you can see the distressing and chaking a little closer.

Cousins

It has been so good to find a little time to get in my craft room! 

This LO came together pretty quick! I love when that happens, which is not very often.

My Lo is for Sketches In Thyme Open challenge. 

My Recipe is pretty simple, the paper and the frames are from Best Occasions- Scrap pack. I distressed them all by sanding down the edges! I just love that look! I continued on with the distressed look and stapled on my ribbon!

Don't you just love those flowers! They are what I won from Fern on a Hop! Thanks again Fern!  I have been hoarding them for the perfect pages! The flowers are Petaloo.

I made my own template using my Creative Memories  circle cutter & a thumb tack!

I spaced out my holes and then put it on my page and punched the holes through my LO! I kept my template for the next time. I used DNC floss to stitch. I also had to add a little Bling! You know us scrappers we all like our BLING! I used jewel stickers! they are a dark green but in this picture you can't tell.The last thing I did was tie a bow around my frame and add a little metal embellie!

Here's the sketch I chose, the sketch is by Fern! 

Well thats it for me! Hope you all enjoy the rest of your week:)
