Sketchy Thursdays GDT

I'm throwing my hat into the ring....here is my page for the Guest Designer Challenge at Sketchy Thursdays.

The challenge was to use to sketch - red and turquoise - hearts - and a list of things to love.

I love this picture of my dd and Cinderella! She was so excited to see me working on it. It's from 2 years ago, but it's still one of my favorites.

Some of the stickers are from Bo Bunny. They've been in the stash for quite a while...gotta use it up! The music notes are brads and the pieces they are on are also on pop dots for more dimension. The fuzzy hearts on the list are from the dollar spot at Target. I love these little dingle ball trims...lol. They are so cute and I have quite a few colors.

Well...wish me luck!

Forgotten Treasures

Here is a "Forgotten Treasure" that I chose to work on today. On the Skethes4All valentine blog hop, Michelle challenged us to make a tri-card. While I was debating how I wanted to do this, I remembered a technique I learned at CKU a few years ago.

We used small envelopes and glued them together by overlapping the envelopes and the flaps. On one side I added some fun patterned papers and some flocked hearts I cut out from Heidi Grace papers. On the "inside" of the card, I stamped some fun swirly images.

The "I heart U" stickers are from Colorbok and then I added a few more random heart stickers. On the inside of the envelopes, I used some pieces of cardstock with a border punch. A few sweet sayings stickers on the front and some sweet journaling to my hubby on the back. He usually gets me "coupons" for Valentine's Day...so I may change my idea and make up some coupons of my own. :)

This technique is my Forgotten Treasure, which is also a fun challenge at Scrap Whispers! Off to make up some coupons....lol

Creative Scrappers #142

I love these sketches where I can play with doilies. They are so pretty!

This sketch is #142 from Creative Scrappers.

I used pink and green inks on my doily. The strips were from the scrap stash. I matted them all on green scraps. The flowers are a mix of everything from the stash and I put green gems on all of them. The ribbon piece was also from the stash. The title was made from a set of alpha stickers that have been around for quite a while. It was time they finally found a home. :)

Still snowed in...

We woke up to yet another 3 inches of snow today! I am so over this white stuff....

I picked out some pictures from Fall to work with today...hoping to feel a little bit better. It didn't work. I even made a run to Michael's today...and came back empty handed. :(

Here is this week's sketch from Sketches in Thyme. Lots of bits and pieces from the stash. I wouldn't even know where to start. I'm just happy that it's getting used. :)

I'm hoping to get a few more pages done today! And I hope the wait for the good Super Bowl commercials is worth it!

GO STEELERS!!!!

Last one for today...

I had a great day...got lots of pages done...and now I'm ready for bed!

I started this page off with Resolution #1 for the Blog Hop Challenge at Let's Scrap. Betty Anne's challenge was to scraplift another member's layout. I chose to lift Linda McDonald's gorgeous layout called Days Gone By. She used these soft blues and ivories and beautiful flowers. Hers turned out so much better than mine. :)

The second challenge was from the Sketches 4 All Blog Hop. Stacy had the first challenge which was to use a love song in our project. My hubby proposed to me in front of Cinderella's Castle in Disney World. We chose A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes as our wedding song. It's also my ringtone for him. :)

The third challenge was from ScrapFit. This month's challenge was to do a project about a dream you had or have. Since my dream was to actually GO to Disney World, and my hubby proposed, I guess you can say I had quite a few dreams fulfilled that week. :)

K...nite nite!!! :)

Scrappy Saturday!!

We are still snowed in and it's too cold outside to play...so I get a whole weekend to scrap my little heart out! Speaking of hearts....

I raided my dd's stash and found TONS of Valentine stuff! She thought it was so cute...last year!

I was looking for little hearts and she had a few. Just a few!

So my goal is to keep using up the old stash. I haven't bought new stuff yet this year. Only adhesive, but that's a necessity.

I still can't believe what I have found, what I have used and there never seems to be room. The piles don't get smaller...the drawers don't get emptier...I don't get it.

Oh well...maybe after this weekend they will!

Here is the supply list for my first page this weekend:

Core-dination's cardstock

doily

border punch

flowers

bling

rubons

ribbon

I dug out the Fastenator!

lots of inking

photo corners

stickers

So you tell me....why isn't the stash getting smaller???
