Frosted Designs??

Why haven't I heard of this site before??  I found it yesterday and had a great time checking out everything.  I was so excited to find yet another challenge site!  Challenges are the only way to keep me motivated and creative.  Left on my own, I would probably watch more TV!  Which wouldn't be a bad thing if there was ever anything good on....

I sat through The Hangover last night.  It came highly recommended from many people.  It was ...okay.  I just hate movies where the swearing takes over most of the dialog.  Seriously...how many times do I have to hear the "F" word in a 3 minute scene?  It's not funny...move on to something else. 

Anyway...while I was watching this movie and trying not to listen...lol, I worked on a page from our last trip to Great America.  

This week's challenge on Frosted Designs was to use glitter.  I had these really fun pages from our ride on the carousel.  

All the papers were from 3 Bugs in a Rug and I just LOVE these Big Brads!  I had no idea for sure what I was going to do with them....just knew that I had to have them!  Another something something gone from the stash!  

I cut the patterned paper on the design and used glitter glue along the edges to make it sparkle like the carousel.  

It's another miserable rainy day here,  so getting decent pics is really being a pain....

Off to see what other challenges I can tackle today!

Have a great rest of the weekend!

My first time....

...participating in a sketch with My Sketch World!  I love multi photo sketches and this one was really fun to play with.  

I used up lots of old scraps of papers....and lots of buttons.  

The letters were from the Dollar Spot at Target last year.  

The felties I found at Michael's.  I thought they were really bulky and was hesitant to use them, but since I bought them anyway...I may as well do something with them!

Gotta love my circle punch from Creative Memories.  It's amazing how many times I have pulled that thing out lately.

TFL!!

Birds of a feather...

I loved working on this sketch!  The sketch was from http://stuckonusketches.blogspot.com/.

I don't know exactly drew me in with this one, but the minute I saw it,  I knew I was using these pictures.  

I just found this really fun paper from The Paper Studio Beach line.  DCWV Flower Power die cut paper was perfect!  These colors are so much fun!

I used a few paper flowers that I was able to color with my new Tombow markers.  YUMMY colors!  I also used some chipboard leaves from The Wild Life collection.  I saw a post on using the Tombow markers on chipboard and was skeptical, but I think they turned out great. 

Oh  yeah....I used the same markers on the Thickers letters too!  I am definitely getting my money's worth with those babies!

A few more challenges and then maybe I can clean up my corner a little...maybe...

June Stuck?! Sketch

For the first sketch of the month, I decided to do some more work on my 8x8 Disney album.  I am so close to be done (with 1 of 3!!).  

I tried to "pop" up the stickers on pop dots, but they were being a little difficult...and you can hardly tell from the picture!  Oh well....

Love the way this turned out...

TFL!!!

Sketches in Thyme...

A NEW blog with tons of inspiration for scrapping!  I love working with sketches.  I feel it forces me to be more creative.  I really have a hard time figuring out a layout on my own.  Multi-photo sketches are the best! 

And for the first challenge from this blog....multi-photos!!  A great sketch, great inspiration, great blog!  

The DT has awesome ideas.  I loved checking out everything they created. Make sure you check them out!

Here is my take on the first sketch....

Playing with Bo Bunny!

I love all of Bo Bunny's products and sometimes it's just too hard to use them!  The papers are just too pretty to cut up!  But...since my "collection" has started to grow and take up too much room, I have decided to suck it up and make something out of it.  

My favorite this year has been Kitchen Spice.  The colors in this set are just so much fun!  Finding just the right pictures has been the hardest part.  Everything in this set goes so well together, it just takes the right picture to make it all come together.

I still have LOTS of pictures from our last Disney Cruise.  I grabbed a stack from one of our wonderful dinners with all of our friends.  They just love seeing these pictures put together.  We are currently in the planning stages of our next cruise.  We made so many wonderful friends and we have all kept in touch.  I can't wait to see them again!

Here is my layout based on a Bo Bunny sketch from Rita Shimniok.  I loved this sketch because I could use lots of pictures.  I think I cleaned out my Bo Bunny buttons too!  

TFL!!

Scrapping along....

WOOHOO!!  I am having an awesome day!  I'm sitting here watching a marathon of The Office, scrapping my little heart out.  

This postcard has been sitting around my desk for a while and I loved looking at it all the time.  To me it just seems to sum up everything about my dream vacation.  The sun, the sand, the ship and of course, Mickey and Minnie!  

Sketch #105 from Creative Scrappers was perfect and I am so happy for the inspiration!  This is going to be the first page of our cruise album....the first of about 300!  lol
