Challenge #35 anything but a square card at Sassy Cheryl's

Yes, I have been a slacker....LOL Life seems to get in the way sometimes of scrapping. So, with that said I did Sassy Cheryl's challenge this week and used one of my favorite images. But, then again they all are my favorite. LOL It is a card made from the Cricut Just Because cards. I love this one too...you can make the envelopes for the cards on it instead of buying them like I always do. Hope you like my creation...I have added the insert on the lower one to show that it goes together.

" Big Sketch Contest " at My Creative Scrapbook

I have decided to get back to my roots....Scrapbook pages. I am entering this layout in "Big Sketch Contest" at My Creative Scrapbook. So my friend has told me about this one and I really like how it has turned out. I of course used Myscrapchick.com's leafs and key files and I am hooked Tim Holtz techniques and Tatered Angels mist so I used some of both. LOL This is the first layout that I have done in over 3 years since my brother passed away. So, I have done the first of many more to come. This is a picture that my talented sister took back in the spring on my mom. I love this photo of her. You can find the website here if you would like to play along. http://mycreativescrapbook.invisionzone.com/index.php?showtopic=2475 if you would like to join in....You have until November 10th. I sure hope you like my creation. I sure did have fun doing it.


Here is the sketch:

Sassy Cheryl Challenge #33 Let's Add Some Dimension

Sassy Cheryl Challenge #33 Let's Add Some Dimension. So with that said....I popped my image. I also used a technique using what I learned on YouTube. Using your embossing folders as stamps and embossing at the same time. I have shown you some examples at the bottom of my card. Try it...it is awesome. You have to use a stamp roller and I used Tim Holtz and Tatered Angel's spray. Back to Sassy Cheryl's challenge I hope you like the card I created....I love this challenge...Because I love Pop Dots!! Here is my creation.



This is the examples that I did for you to see what different looks you get.

Karen's Doodles Challenge 32 - Recipe

At Karen's Doodles Challenge Blog....Challenge #32 - Recipe is to use at least 3 embellishments, 2 papers, 1 image. I am trying to get ahead of Christmas so I used a $1.00 date book and made it so that when the year is done you can buy a new date book and just put it in the slots without having to throw this cute dog away. So, as you can tell I used many different things on this challenge....Spellbinders die, MS swirl stamps and border punch, TH Distress ink, Pink and Red ribbon, white rick rack, TH Ticket Stub, Rhinestones and Copic Markers. The flowers is a technique that I tried out from YouTube.com. I love watching these video's. LOL New techniques...new ideas. LOVE IT!! I found something crazy awesome on there that I am going to use on my next challenge. So, be sure that you check back. If you own embossing folders you will want to try this out for yourself. Who comes up with this stuff?? LOL You can find the link to Karen's Doodles on my side bar. So, go check out her stuff!! Amazing work she does!!! Here is my creation and I hope you like!!!
