To Us..

Okay, so I'm not getting any laundry done...but I'm getting pages done!  so it's still a productive day!

Here is a multi photo page:

I used Misting Spray on the background.  This beautiful ribbon I found at Michael's.  I used a circle stencil and some black ink under the ribbon.  I slipped some flowers underneath the photos and added some black glitter swirl chipboard.

Here is the sketch I used from Sketches in Thyme #398:

Family means love

Good morning!   It's a cold day here today and it will be another long one doing laundry and other chores....all while slipping in a page here and there.

Here is what started off my day:

Sticking to getting the wedding pictures done, I chose an outdoor picture.

The challenge this month from Lemon Craft was to use a "purple" theme.  

I had these gorgeous papers from Ciao Bella to work with.  

I fussy cut some of the flowers and used pop dots to bring out some dimension.

The color purple was a subtle add with the purple flowers.

The sketch that got me started was this fun one from My Creative Sketchbook.

Hoping to get lots done today!

With this ring...

Last one for tonight.  This will be #8 for the day.  Which is awesome considering I was still able to get lots of house cleaning done too!

I used this sketch from Sketches in Thyme #396:

I chose to use some bling as the circle instead of my usual go-to which would have been a doily.

I love this glitter swirl ribbon I just recently bought from Joanns!  So pretty!

Off to get some sleep.  I will have a couple of hours tomorrow to work on more before the fam gets back from camp.

Thanks for stopping by!!

Party Cruise

So I'm going thru my blog and I see this challenge from Scrap the Girls - The Hangover.

I'm not a big drinker but I feel like when I do get the opportunity, I kinda make up for lost time...lol.

The word "hangover" just reminded me of the last one I had.  We went on a party cruise with my husbands co-workers.  After dinner, there was a LOT of dancing and a LOT of wine.  I had a FANTASTIC time that night!!  The next day and a half...not so much...

What a great night with a great group of friends!

This doesn't not happen often enough!

This is perfect for the "friends" challenge from Challenge Yourself:

That's me in the green dress.

I'm so glad there are no pictures of me the next morning!

Wedding stuff

I think the "random" pictures are the hardest to work with.  I want to include all the aspects of the wedding but don't want to overwhelm them with embellishments.

On a good note, I love multi photo sketches where I can knock out a few of these pictures at once.

Here is the sketch that inspired me from Sketch N Scrap #189:

Sand Ceremony

I love that I was able to find so many different doilies thanks to the Martha Stewart collection at Joann's and Michael's.

Most of the papers are from the Silver Leaf collection by DCWV.

Here is the sketch I used by Sketches in Thyme # 395:

Apple Picking Fun

Happy Friday!!

I am lucky enough to have the house to myself this weekend!  Everyone went camping and won't be home until Sunday!  

So in between loads of laundry (yuck), I will be knocking out some pages.

Here is the sketch sketch from Scrap Our Stash for November:

I chose to use "apples" as my fruit:

I didn't realize how many apple designed papers I had in my stash.  I guess now is a good time to start using them.

I fussy cut the apple cluster from a page by Creative Imaginations.

I slipped in little pieces of jute for texture.

Hope you like it!
