Farmin'

These are some pics of my son a couple of years ago spending time at my parents farm. The layout was inspired by this ad challenge at Ad This. I love how the grunge board looks like suede when I sponged brown ink on it.

Wacky Wednesday

Today, day 39 at 365 cards, is Wacky Wednesday - use the colors orange, purple and green on a card. I have to admit, I was having troubles with this one! In addition to struggling with what shades to use, I also was having a brain freeze for an idea. Fortunately, Vicki Soloman released a card sketch today at Got Sketch? so I used that and came up with this Wacky card. It should work well for one of my numerous star-ific nieces or nephews.

Buttons, buttons, I guessed how many buttons!

Last week, during Triple the Sketch's blog hop, I hopped over to Alisa's website, here, where she was asking everyone to guess how many buttons were in a little jar. I guessed 212 and turns out I was the closest!! She will be sending me a basket of scrapping goodies and I can't wait to see what's there.

thanks so much, Alisa!

Brother - Hero

Here are some more old pictures that I'm trying to get scrapped so I can fill in some holes in some older albums. I used the Clean and Simple Scrapbook challenge found here. It was a very quick layout!! I converted the sketch below to 8 1/2 x 11, and used a CTMH stamp set. It's hard to believe these pics were taken almost 9 years ago! Sorry about the poor photo.........

And yet another card for the gift set

Today is Day 38 at 365 cards and the challenge was to use this quilt pattern to create a card. I decided, again, to make one for my MIL's gift. I'm sure everyone is getting tired of this pp!! I even got my sewing machine out for this one - definitely not a card I would usually do, but it was fun.

Another Thank you for gift set

I decided to use my craft time today to make another card for my MILs card set.
I used this sketch, # 81 at Mojo Monday (the first time I've been to this blog and it looks great) and today's challenge at 365 cards to dress up some chipboard.
I sponged 3 colors of ink on the chipboard flower, stamped a stitch looking circle and added some glitter to that then topped it off with a flower.

Jordyn 17th Birthday

Today is my niece's 17th birthday! I can't believe it's possible. She's not very girly-girly, so I made her a card that wasn't too feminine, but I did add a bit of bling and some mini pink beads along the bottom. I used the color combination Dawn McVey put together for her 3rd week at Raspberry Suite color challenges and the Sunday sketch at 365 cards (both pictured below)
