52 Pick-Up #1

LCOM is hosting some fun challenges all year long! This is week #1 for 52 Pick Up....a fun year of sketch/challenges that will result in an album of 52 layouts by the end of the year! (At least, that's the plan!).

I did manage to complete the first challenge! Check them out! This page is based on the sketch provided within the forum!

Doggie in the Window

Here is a page I made for one of Tara's challenges a while ago, I just never got around to posting it. Our dog loves to wait for the girls in the window after school...this October afternoon card was absolutely perfect for this photo!

I am in love....

With Graphic 45 Christmas Paper! The vintage look is so appealing to me! I was lucky enough to order these from one of my favorite online stores Art Freckles!!! These are some cards I made with the Graphic 45 Christmas line ....check out more fabulous creations on the Graphic 45 Blog

Beccys' Blog!

Wow wow wow! Beccy started a blog....and I LOVE IT! Her tutorial for the FREE digital image she provides is perfect for Christmas cards and/or layouts!!! Go check it out!

~My Friends Know Me Well~

Four of my girlfriends took me out the other night to celebrate my birthday!!!! Wow, they chose some pretty amazing gifts for me! I was overwhelmed with their generosity! Jackie finds the most unique and pretty things browsing etsy (check out those gorgeous handmade lollipop flowers and the most adorable pear shaped pin cushion ever....perfect for my fancy scrapping pins....and the ones she picked up from "My Little Bit of Whimsy")

Josee was really smart and not being much of a scrapper...she enlisted the help of Jackie (aka Lambcrop) to do some scrappy shopping for her! Whoo hoooo .....that awesome Martha double loop punch, some fabulous Primas (but aren't all Primas fabulous!) and then she picked out a really wonderful smelling candle in an apple cannister! I LOVE apples...this is perfect!!!!

My friend Colette, who also loves to scrap gave me some WRM papers (that I didn't have), some new die cuts which I've been having loads of fun with (ESPECIALLY the Poinsettia...I've made a few cards using that die cut already)....and look at that oh so cute Gingerbread stamp!

Guylaine, gave me that so very comfy t-shirt which I LOVE!!!!! And some salon quality shampoo and conditionner.....that I have to hide from the girls or it will disappear!!! hehehe

Thanks girls for the lovely time and the AMAZING gifts!!! You know I love ya'll!!!!

Wacky Wednesday

Every Wednesday on the Paper Popsicles Blog, a new sketch from one of the DT members is revealed! Created a card from Wacky Wednesdays' sketch and your name could be chosen for a RAK at the end of the month. I usually create something but more often than not....I forget to post it or even photograph it for that matter! But tonight is Tuesday, and I remembered!!!!

Here is my card for this past weeks' sketch by Tricia.
....and this is the card I created! Used some red smooch and fun Monster stickers!

...and this one was from the week before! This one inspired a few Christmas cards! The sketch is also from Tricia!

A few cards!

Here are 2 cards I made last month for some challenges at LCOM. I don't recall posting them here....so here they are!
This card was made for the "use felt" challenge:And this one for the Ranger Distress Ink/Stamping Tag challenge! I love how this tag looks! I will certainly try this technique again!
