Scarecrow Fun!

Had to get at least one page done before we head out for Trick or Treating!
I made my own cornstalks with tons of distressing on strips of cardstock. I crumpled it up, inked it and then cut it up. I found these adorable little buttons at an Expo. The doily was inked and misted too. The letters were OLD letter stickers from the stash. :)
And so was the ribbon. :)
The sketch is #33 from Sketchabilities. Love it!! :)

Getting Sassy in a hurry


It's down to the final days for the October challenge at Sassy Lil' Sketches!
Here is my page for the October 28th sketch:

I loved the sketch from October 21st! And these cool leaf doilies are awesome! A little hard to work with, but I managed.

Off to carve pumpkins with the kids!


:)

1-2 pager 4 3 challenges...

Did you follow that?? lol

Challenge #1 - Stuck On U Sketches hosted a 2 page sketch challenge

Challenge #2 - Scrap Whispers wanted you to use the words "Dream" - "Wish" - or "Journey" on your project. I squeezed in all 3! :)

Challenge #3 - Scrapbook Steals is hosting an online crop all weekend. This was Challenge #4 (still with me??) which was to use 4 patterned papers - 4 brads - 4 stickers - 4 ribbons and 4 of anything you choose. I went with 4 photos.

So now that I totally confused myself...it's time to get some real housework done.

Have a great weekend!!!

Busy Scrapping Day!


I LOVE taking a day off in the middle of the week! I get more done than I do on the weekends! Although, lately my weekends have consisted of doing running around with the kids....many, many photo ops! My next task is to get them ordered so I can start scrapping them.

This first page is from this week's sketch from Let's Scrap. Here is the right side:

And here is the left side:
The big chipboard piece was supposed to hold a picture CD or something like that, but I didn't have pictures to go with the sketch and the CD. So I raided the Halloween stash and made it work another way. :)
I also used these pages for the Frosted Designs. The challenge was to use die cuts. I used plenty of Halloween die cuts! :)
Sketches4all: Christy's Monthly Be-Inspired challenge was a Reese's ad. MM.mmm...LOVE Reese's! Almost tempted to race over to the Hershey Store downtown just to get pics...lol.
Sketches4all: Michelle H.'s challenge - tag sketch using misting or painting, and a stamp. My stamp isn't showing up too well here...
Sketches4all: Scrap Girl of the Month - final sketch challenge :)
That's all I have....so far...it's still early....lol

Black and White Whispers...

This week's challenge from Scrap Whispers - use black and white. Whether it be the photo, the embellishments, or the papers, it didn't matter.
The sketch is #147 from Sketch Inspiration.
I chose to work with this 8x10 photo of my oldest daughter. I inked up a half dozen doilies, cut them in half and used them to make the circle around the photo. The flowers and pearls are from KatiesKreations4u. She puts together amazing kits!

Movie Title Challenge

A challenge from Sketches4all....create a project using a Movie Title. It's funny how the only movie titles that come to mind are from Disney!
I decided to go in a completely different direction and take care of some Summer adventure photos.
The sketch is from Sketches in Thyme. I used lots of bits and pieces from the scrap box...again.
And I just love these cool leaves from Prima!
:)

Stuck on October 15th sketch

Stuck?! Sketches created this challenge for the 15th of October. A fun little layout using up last year's Fall scrap stash. I also added some fun fibers too! :)
