Mother's Day card for Mother in law

I combined a call at Fun-Frilled for Mother's day cards and Stamps & Smiles sketch #13 found here, to come up with this card for my Mother in law. Also, the challenge at 365 cards was to think pink and create a pink card.

Buds

I think this has to be one of the quickest layouts I've ever done. I used Clean & Simple sketch #7 by Jenifer Buck, found here. This is my husband and oldest - they get along so well.

Back to School

This was the last layout I did on NSD, just didn't get it uploaded yesterday. This was first day of School in 2006. I used a sketch at Inspired blueprints and an ad challenge at Ad this, to come up with the page. The ad had lots of circles on it so I went with that.

Smile

Another one of my so darn cute DD. I saw flowers created like this out of felt this week on someone's else's blog and for the life of me can't remember where. I hate not giving someone credit when I steal their idea. I'll update my post later when it comes to me.

I got the fun color combo at Color Combinations Galore. It's nice to try something different for a change. I also used last Monday's sketch at Beary Box.

Fashion Sense

Second layout of the day. This is my DD's fashion sense!!! She was asked to get ready for her brother's b'day party (in January) and she came down wearing this bathing suit and her striped tights! I just love the photo.
Method Playground had a challenge to use clippings from magazines which worked perfectly for this photo. I clipped a variety of article titles and designer labels to create the frame around the photo. Also, added a stamp to break it up a bit.
I also found a new challenge blog, Scrapper's Block (perfect name, isn't it?) and this week's challenge was to do a layout without patterned paper, so this should work for that also. I never used to use patterned paper, but now do all the time.

Kickin' It

Happy National Scrapbooking Day!
I locked myself in my room and got a bit done this afternoon, and hope to get a little more done this evening.
My first was this soccer layout for my oldest DS. I combined two challenges. The first was at Scrapping Out Loud to use a color that you generally shy away from. My color is purple. I didn't use a lot of it on this layout, but I felt this was as much I could get away with my son's album :) His jerseys were a very bright purple & he didn't like that much! The next was a challenge at Mix It Up, to use a variety of fonts in your title. I used some diecuts letters, stickers, thickers, stamps & tag.
Once again, my photo is way too dark UGH!

Happy Birthday Bev

This is a birthday card for my mother-in-law. I combined Dawn McVey's color challenge and sketch #24 at the Beary Box.
