BLHC #2 - Family Fun

Yay! I'm finally getting a chance to post this. This week at Busy Little Hands the challenge had a theme of Family Fun.

Here's what Gwen said:

"What do you and your family do for fun? Are there special moments you plan or traditions you do together for recreation or entertainment? If so, scrap a page or create a project that will celebrate the way you and your family "play" together."

Here's the layout I made...





Sorry the first two pics are kinda fuzzy, I had to turn the flash off to take them. The pictures are from a while back and are of my family in the woods at one of the places we like to go to walk together when the weather's nice. My husband is an outdoorsy kind of guy.

I used papers from The Paper Studio, Colorbok, and Bazzill Basics. I used a pine tree edge punch from Martha Stewart for the sections behind the pictures. And there was some craft ribbon and a few brads, too. Oh, and some stickers I cut down to use for this.

Thanks for looking!:)

TTCC #1!

I'm just now getting a chance to post my challenge project. Phew! I hate when everything seems to get in my way. Anyway, this week's challenge from Twilight Tuesday was a color challenge! Here's what they said over at Twilight Tuesday:

"Greetings and welcome to Twilight Tuesday’s very first Color Challenge! Every couple of weeks, we will be giving you a brand new color challenge. This is going to be a lot of fun!

Your first Color Challenge is going to feature Edward’s coloring. The first color is Butterscotch for his eyes (when he isn’t hungry!), second is Alabaster for his pale, pale skin, and third is Reddish-Brown for his fabulous hair! "

And here's my card...




I used Coredinations papers, the dressy Ed digi stamp from The Greeting Farm, some brads, various colored pencils to color the stamp, and my Creative Memories Stardust Maker punch and my little Xyron to make the little star stickers.

I tried to make his hair have the auburn tinges to it with the pencils. I don't think I did too bad.

Thanks for looking!:)

TTSC #17

I hadn't done a sketch challenge in a while, so, this was fun!:) This was for Twilight Tuesday's Sketch #17.




I used papers from DCWV and My Mind's Eye. And some ribbon. And I didn't have anything to cut an oval shape, so, I used a diamond instead.

Thanks for looking!:)

Busy Little Hands Way Challenge #1

My friend Gwen of Busy Little Hands has started her very own weekly challenge! I'm so excited for her! Her first challenge is a scrap challenge. This was good for me since I've been starting to really build up a collection of odd-sized scraps.

So, here's what I ended up making...



You can see just how small they are here...



It was so much fun making the little box and matching card, and it really helped use up a few odd, small scraps. The ribbon was even left over from some past sewing project of mine. The paper was from The Paper Studio, I don't know what the brown cardstock was, it lost its packaging a while back.

I'm looking forward to Gwen's future challenges, this one was fun!

Thanks for looking!:)

TTIC #59 - Sparkle!

I was very excited about this week's challenge over at Twilight Tuesday. I mean, I just love sparkly things!:)

Here's what Margie said:

Let’s start the New Year with a bit of…

Sparkle!

Create a project using something that sparkles or shines – glitter, bling, etc.

Comment: Share your inspiring resolutions for the New Year!

Here's my card...



You can see the sparklies better here...



And here's my daughter with the card she made...



You can see the sparkle better here...



I don't make New Year's resolutions, so, nothing exciting to say there. But, I'm having some health problems recently, so, I'm hoping they'll get figured out soon so that I can be more active physically this year.(Nothing like feeling like a total slug, eh?)

We used papers from Creative Memories, The Paper Studio, Wasau Paper, DCWV, and My Mind's Eye. Bling from the dollar bin at JoAnn's. Rub-on from Colorbok. I used Copics and Prismacolor markers to color my Bella.(the hair looks wonky because I started with one color, then layered another color over it) The glitter is cosmetic glitter from Aromaleigh that I painted on with eyeliner sealant.

Hope you like our cards! Thanks for stopping by!

DCRU Challenge 20

This week's challenge from Die Cuts R Us was a color challenge! I really enjoyed it! The challenge was to make a project using colors from the cute little DCRU button(just like the one on the side of my blog). :)

Here's the card I made...




And here's the card my daughter made...



Here she is with her card...



We used papers from DCWV, Wasau Paper, and The Paper Studio. The button on my card is an antique button from my grandma, and this is the first time I've used a button on a card! The sticker in the middle of my daughter's card is from Creative Memories. I used the Creative Memories puzzle punch for my card.

Thanks for looking!

TTSBC #2

Hurray! I finally got a chance last night to work on a challenge project!:) This is for the Twilight Tuesday Scrapbooking Challenge from this past week. Here's what Alison says about this week's challenge -

"This week’s challenge is about one of the Cullen boys… Jasper has the special ability to control the emotions of the people in a room. He often made Bella relax in Twilight. Who in your life does that for you? Maybe you have a special place you go to to find peace. What is your “Jasper?” Make a scrapbook page representing that person or place! Or, you can make a layout about Jasper himself!"

The picture I used for this layout includes both the person and place that help me relax - my husband, and the beach. We only get to visit the ocean every 1-2 years, but I just love walking on the beach with my sweetie, it's one of the few things that helps me relax.




I left some space so that I could do some journaling later if I feel like it.

I used papers from The Paper Studio, Creative Memories, and Bazzill Basics. Stickers from Creative Memories.

Thanks for looking!
