Frosted Designs on Tuesday

I love that I scheduled almost every Tuesday off for the rest of the year! Frosted Designs sketch challenges keep me busy and challenged. I'm still sticking to my goal to finish last year's Christmas pictures and so far, so good. This pic is part of the Disney Cruise album. We went at a time when the terminal was just being decorated for Christmas. This beautiful tree was the first thing we saw when we got off the escalator. :)

Materials used:

EK Success border punch

Mickey Head punch

Mickey head brad stickers

Mickey Christmas ribbon

and a little ZVA pearl flourish

:)

Stuck on U Sketches -more christmas...

I almost strayed....

I almost pulled out something else other than Christmas pictures....

I had the pics on my desk, searching through papers...when I found MORE Christmas paper!

I slapped myself on the wrist and put everything away and went right back to the Christmas stack. Of course, now I had new papers to play with, so it was so hard to do.

This beautiful sketch is from Stuck on U Sketches. Soooo pretty and fun to play with!! I wish I had more Spring pictures to work with...oh well. This one is definitely saved for later too!

I pulled out the new Wintertime kit from Echo Park. Love all the fun papers! After I cut out the center piece, I outlined it in marker to make it stand out a little more.

The doily was inked and sprayed with Frost Shimmer Mist.

And all the fun stickers are from the same Echo Park kit.

This is also for a fun challenge at Sketches in Thyme. They are hosting an "open sketch" challenge. Share your favorite sketches and projects this week!

And 3 more pictures down...

Okay, their not so much Christmas pics, but LAST year's winter pics need to be done too!

:)

Jolly Holidays!

Sticking to the plan to finish up last year's Christmas pictures....

Sketchy Thursdays offered this great sketch for a 5x7 photo. I noticed most of my pictures have a lot of gold in them. This gold embossed paper by Anna Griffin is just too gorgeous! The stars and medallions were a sweet score from Michael's last night. :)

We are heading out to see the new Harry Potter movie today! Have a great evening! :)

working on Christmas

I was sorting through all my pictures and just now realized how many pictures I still have from LAST year! This is so not me! I'm usually not this far behind....hmmm.....

So it was a good excuse to get out yesterday and take advantage of all the sales and stock up on Christmas goodies. Then I came home and did some shopping online...sshhh....

Yes! I made the day all about me! Is it wrong??!!

This sketch is from Sweet Peach Crop Shop. Love multi photo sketches! Heck, I just love sketches! Whether it's for a rak, or just for fun....show me the sketches!!

So here were are....2 pictures done. Everyone is still sleeping so I'm going to tackle this stack and see what else I can accomplish today.

Creative Scrappers Sketch #131

Totally fun sketch!! #131 from Creative Scrappers!

I used some papers from Fancy Pants Like Father, Like Son collection. The colors went so well together. I wish my picture taking showed that better.

:)

Stuck??!!

It's hard to believe that this trip was a year ago! We had such an amazing time! And the best (or not so best) part is that I still haven't finished scrapping all of the pictures. So every now and then I get to relive the best parts of the trip.

Here is a project from a Stuck??! sketch.

I misted the background paper a little bit. I used my latest border punch to make "waves" and then tucked the laser title into them a bit. All of the Disney elements are actually tattoos that the kids had gotten in their goodie bags. I was surprised at how well they turned out on the page....total experiment! My Mickey didn't turn out so well...I didnt' realize how transparent they really were. He should have gone on a white background first. Oh well...next time...there are still plenty of pictures to work with!
