An update...just to say I updated~

I haven't been scrapping all that much lately! A couple of cards here and there for a box full that I am giving to my Mom. Here is a page I did for a challenge over at the Lovebug forum.

~I LOVE Beccys' Place~

I feel so guilty enjoying Beccys' tutorials without sharing!!! I must direct my scrappy friends her way....her tutorials are AMAZING as are her freebie digital images!!!! She totally ROCKS with her artistic talent...and she's one generous crafter sharing these images with her online friends! Take a moment, stop by and visit Beccys' Place. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!!!!

More Crop Creations!

Another fun crop this weekend! Seems like it's the only time I get any scrapping done....with challenges and some kind of direction! I wish I didn't have to work tonight, I have so many ideas for the other challenges!
This page is a lift from another Scrapperie member for the "scrap the person above you" challenge. Use Fabric on your layout challenge! I chose to use an Aeropostale t-shirt for the title and the circles for the flower. Taylor helped me mist the white cardstock (I think she used half a bottle...but I love how it turned out). I also used some scrabble tiles and scrap ribbon.



These two cards are for the card challenge. Use a digital stamp and add some bling. This very cute bunny stamp is from Paper Popsicles and designed by Cheeky Radish. I used copics, and added some shimmerz and smooch!

And this card I used a Stampin' Up stamp, stamped in several different colors for a 3D effect.

Art Freckles Crop Creations

Turned out to be a very busy weekend for me! Didn't get as many challenges as I hoped done!

Here is what I accomplished:

A "Quilt Block" like 12x12 page which was loads of fun sewing together!

The transparency challenge:
Of course, a few Green monochromatic cards:

A 3D punch card:As I loaded my creations onto the website, Brooklyn was just hanging out with me! She was PERFECT for the rainbow challenge! But I didn't have time to scrap it!!! I did get a photo for it though!

~LCOM crop Projects & ATCs for Art Freckles

Lets Capture Our Memories threw an absolutely fabulous crop last weekend! Between shiftwork and household chores I still managed to get a few of the challenges done!

The "resist technique". I stamped with paint, let it dry, then misted with glimmermist and wiped off excess. Made a few cards with some of the pieces I stamped.
This challenge was called "Spring Rain". To use mist on a page....I misted with Tattered Angels blue mist. (Don't remember the exact color).

This is a neat technique by the DT member Dorrie. She called it the Gesso technique but without the Gesso on hand...the alternative was to use paint which I did. I glued 8 sheets of 8x8 newspaper together, painted the top with paint (or Gesso), let dry, color with watercolor pencils or crayons (I used some mist in there too), spray with water so it drips....making some really neat colors. Decorate as you wish once it's dry. I had fun getting a bit messy with this one!


These are a few of the ATC's I made for a swap over at Art Freckles

So You Think You Can Scrap? LCOMs Contest

I am still playing along at LCOMs' "So You Think You Can Scrap" contest! What fun it has been, so challenging too!

The theme was "Playful"...this is my page of Taylor! She gets caught wearing her headband like this all the time! Hilarious!
Then came the theme "edgy". This is the page I made but was eliminated during this round!

A second chance to get back in the contest! The challenge to make a birthday card by a specified deadline! This is my card (for my nephew)....and Yeah...back in the competition!


This past weeks' theme is "About you" or "All about Me". This is the page I made. Some journaling on the pink inset paper .....Love Love Love Prima products so I used a lot of it on this page! Not sure if I made this round yet, but I am anxious to find out!
