March Sketch Challenge

Well, it's that time of month again ... time for the monthly sketch challenge issued by The Scrapping Stamper. Shannon White designs her own sketches each month and sends them out to her sketch team to see what we can come up with. Here is the sketch for this month:


This one was so much fun to play with and was super easy to follow. Sometimes I use sketches that are just too busy and have way too much stuff going on that it makes it very difficult to decipher. I end up getting frustrated and tossing out the whole project and starting over. Here's my take on her sketch this month:


Want the details behind this layout? It's pretty simple ... I used Bazzill Chocolate Chip as my base and part of the picture mat. I used Coredination cardstock for the yellow and the orangish part of the picture mat. The title was from an old stack of stickers (my scrappy friends will be shocked that I actually used a sticker but I just thought this one fit so perfectly for this layout!). The bling at the top of the photo is by Bazzill as well and the bling paw print is by The Paper Studio. Last but not least is the patterned paper which is part of new BasicGrey Max & Whiskers collection that I purchased at Scrapnesia. This has quickly become my new favorite line of paper for the billion dog photos I have.

So, that's about all for this time around. Shannon also created a super cute blog badge but I can't figure out how to get it on my blog LOL. I just can't seem to learn blogger very well no matter how many tutorials I read :).

Hope you enjoy my layout! Happy scrapping :)!!

Hello! Thanks for stopping by my little spot of craftiness. I’m very excited to be a part of the December Fan Club Blog Hop for Paper Makeup Stamps . If you’ve been hopping along today, then you probably got here from Simonne Clay’s blog SemSee’s Sparkly Scribblings . If you haven’t stopped by her place yet, be sure to do so as her creations are amazing!! If you’ve gotten lost along the way, just take a peek at the listing below to get back on track. Without further ado, here’s my little creation for Paper Makeup Stamps … This was so much fun to create! The sentiment is of course by Paper Makeup Stamps and is the May the Spirit of Christmas Wordart . I absolutely love this sentiment! This will surely be one of my “go to” stamps this year for my Christmas cards. Other details of this card … I used the Stampin’ Up Snowfall Printed Window Sheets for the base of my card. For my layers of cardstock, I used Bazzill Dotted Swiss Cardstock . I’ve been turning to this cardstock a lot lately ...

RAKin' Good Time

Image
Hello blogland!! It's been forever since I've last blogged .... life has gotten in the way yet again. One of the things that is keeping me the busiest is the ning group I created for crafty folks - Fancy Paper Crafters . I never realized how much time went into being the organizer of a social site until I made the leap and did it myself. Even though it does take up a large amount of my spare time, I absolutely love the fact that I have a place to go to share my craftiness without feeling that I'm not good enough. So, I made another leap today and decided to create a Facebook Group to go along with the ning group. Just trying to get our name out there to get more people involved. To entice folks to join (either group), I'm offering up this RAK. You will be entered for joining either group (join both and get TWO entries!). This is a Flocking Powder Collection by Inkadinkado that offers 12 different colors. You can read all about it either on the Fancy Paper Crafters Face...

Camping

For those of you that know me, know that I would NEVER actually choose to go camping on purpose. However, I know my husband really enjoys it and thought I would step out of my comfort zone and make an attempt to learn about one of his passions. So, on the morning of November 1, I set out for my first camping trip (1 night only!). We went with some of our friends, Nick and Kristin. The deal is that I would go if Kristin went and we've been trying to find the perfect weekend for a year now (hmmm, intentional ya think? LOL). We were supposed to be up in Charlotte (going to Lake Wylie at the State Park) at 12:30 but had to go to the grocery store and buy food and get the truck packed up. Nick and Kristin were getting firewood ready and were also running behind. We ended up getting at the campsite at around 5:30 (this meant that I would actually only be "in nature" for roughly 18 hours LOL). After unloading everything at our two campsites, the first order of business was setti...
