Scrapping With The Oldies & 52 sketches

My take on sketch #16 over at 52 sketches!
Art Freckles is running a contest called "Scrapping with the oldies!" Here is my week 2 submission! I used 3 bugs paper, WRMK gromlets/eyelets/snaps, ribbon and the "mystery" item!

Thanks for checking out my blog!

Some New Stuff.....

A thank you card using scraps from a Paper Popsicles kit. Stamping up punch and left over rubons. I made this card for a theme challenge at Paper Popsicles. This page here was made using this months' sketch at Paper Popsicles. Be sure to check out their monthy contests here!

This page of my DD and her friend was made for the 52 Sketches week #15 challenge. Loved that sketch....all their sketches are great! I used CC papers, Prima vines, AC thickers!

You may recognize this page! My eldest DD, with her shapely bald head!!! LOL It now has a title and some diamond shapes for Margos' challenge over at Lovebug Scrapbooking.
This page was made for the current contest going on over at Art Freckles. Used up some old paper stash (BG lucky and Blitzen), made my own popsicle flowers with old denim and some ink, the chipboard is Maya Road and sprayed with green glimmer mist.

~A Few for Challenges~A Few for Fun~

I used some new papers from the Add on Kit at Paper Popsicles mixed with some Primas and swirls for the "diamond" challenge at Lovebug Scrapbooking! I haven't decided if I will add a title to this page or not! That's a photo of my eldest daughter more than 10 years ago....where does the time go?
Using some of the fun papers and embellies in my March Art Freckles kit, I made this page of the girls!

And this one with the same kit! It also fills in for a multiple photo challenge over at Art Freckles!
This last one uses a variety of left over kit stuff from all of my favorite clubs! And it satisfies the requirement for another fun challenge to use more than one photo!

Some fun creations with new goodies!

This was a Maya Road chipboard box that I covered with some new Penny Lane papers given to me by Jackie (AKA Lambcrop)


An Easter Egg card made for the week #1 challenge over at Paper Popsicles!

An 'everyday' card stamped with a Stampin' Up stamp, and embossed with the cuttlebug!

A card I whipped up at Mandis' last night! Used a Tim Holtz ticket, some scraps from Mandis' handy scrap bin and the round sentiment was embossed with the cuttlebug!

These next three pages were made using the very fun March Kit from Lovebug Scrapbooking! Just have to add some journaling once I figure out the exact dates!




This next page was one of my favorites to put together! Maybe because I am in love with Prima products? The felt branches, crochet trim pink pearl swirls, vine flowers and larger flower are all Prima! The brown letters are thickers from the March Lovebug kit, the cardstock is textured and the scallopped pink paper is Basic Grey Porcelain. The couple.....DH and I 15 years ago!

More fishing layouts with the Lovebug February kit!

The layout was put together using the fantastic Art Freckles kit! Love the Penny Lane papers, all the buttons and those great gold thickers!!! I used sketch #13 from 52 sketches for this page!

These last 2 pages are Mandis' DD and My DD enjoying a slumber party and some spa treatments!!! Too cute! It's a double pager with Prima swirls, stickles, BG two scoops paper, cardstock from my Art Freckles kit, MM cardstock buttons, Glitz letters, assorted ribbon and Prima flowers!

If you haven't already.....don't forget to leave a comment in my last post below for the change to win a gift certificate/credit at Paper Popsicles!

~~SUNDAY BRUNCH at Paper Popsicles~~

As guest designer at Paper Popsicles this month,
I had the pleasure of playing with the April Kit ~ Sunday Brunch!
A great blend of papers, stickers, bling, ink and a gorgeous stamp!

5 sheets of 12x12 double sided, patterned paper this is embossed or shimmer papers by s.e.i.
2 12x12 coordinating cardstock sheets
1 Kaiser Crafts rhinestone butterfly
2 Sticker sheets by s.e.i. (packaged together)
1 Colorbox ink
1 Acrylic stamp set by Inkadinkado

I created two 12 x 12 layouts and several cards. The papers are wonderfully textured with so much detail!
Melissa (the owner of Paper Popsicles) also has a wonderful selection of shaped cards! I decorated this adorable dress shaped card with the kit papers.
