Got Sketch #83 and colour challenge

Good Tuesday morning... it is snowing here in Prince George... (yup, you read that right... May 19th!!)

Here is my take on sketch #83 from the Got Sketch blog. I took my colour inspiration from Carla's challenge over at Lil Scrappers - she asked us to do a card in turquoise and orange. I added in the brown as I thought it added that little something. I used my "Top Note" Big Shot die again (I LOVE this thing) to do the plaid shape and a diecut journalling tag (cut in half) for the orange.

Have a great day and happy scrappin'. Jen

DT Card and last of the online crop

Me again. This first picture is the last of the challenges from the online crop last weekend. These were done Tuesday but I'd saved them to my laptop and forgot to put them up here :) This was Mel's challenge to make these teeny tiny cards and I think they'd be great as gift tags or maybe to put an eyelet in the corner and tie onto a bottle of wine.

The second picture is my DT card for this month for Deanne over at Just My Sketches. I was having some trouble with it but then I found this cute Stampin Up paper I had gotten and it all just put itself together. Hope you like!

Another card...

Here is another card I did for the online crop last weekend. We were to make it more vintage (which I thought the pp felt a bit like) and to have a monogram and a diamond shape. Enjoy!

NSD Online Crop at Lil Scrappers

Aimee's Make N Take - Gift bag

Carla's Make N Take - Party Favours

Carla's card challenge - window cards

Carla's LO challenge - 6x12 layouts (this is an acrylic 7x12 page - but the extra 1" is the space for the holes to put in the album - the cover page for my 2008 family album)

Mel's Card Challenge - Home Tweet Home card - had to have a house of some sort on the front - this is all paper pieced - I drew my own pattern and cut out with various pp.

Bev's Challenge - we did a list for Bev answering questions, the 2nd part was to take one of our answers and make a page around it. The one I used was "the one thing I will always be... is loved"

Aimee's layout challenge - Use your scraps! This page is about Garret going down on the plane for his allergy testing. He was a real little trouper and even though he was a bit scared, he sat back and enjoyed the adventure of a new thing.

I got all this done yesterday for the online crop (still two days to submit your stuff too!!) I am so tired today from staying up so late last night but... let's face it, when it is scrapbooking, do I really mind so much??!! :)

Great week to you all!! Jen xoxo

Wow, two in one day :)

Me again, I also did this Easter layout 3 days ago but just took the pictures today when I was doing my circle album. I wanted to mention too... I did that entire circle album last night at my friend Robin's in about 4 hours! If I was doing another, it would take even less time as probably at least an hour of that was the learning curve!

Circle Album

Hi all!! I am not one for making mini albums... in fact, NEVER do it as I'd much rather spend my time doing 12x12s for my family albums. BUT... I wanted to try this Make N Take out that Aimee posted on Lil Scrappers here (you need to register for the forum and then look in Make N Takes). AND, I wanted to make something for my best friend Billie who is having a rough time right now. Hope you like it.

BOM pages - finally....

Oh yay!! I have finally finished some layouts to share. I was so excited. My friend Davida and I stayed up until midnight to finish what we were working on.

These layouts are for my BOM (Book of Me). The first is the March challenge of music. I chose to do what is on my iPod right now (or what would be on it if I could remember my iTunes password at the moment, LOL). The music isn't written in as I need to buy an new Sharpie! But here is what it would be: Twilight soundtrack, the "Hawaii" song (Jason Mraz), Bon Jovi, Aerosmith, Madonna, ABBA, Elvis, Dixie Chicks, Def Lepard, Diana Krall, Celine Dion, Colin James, Bryan Adams, Sting, etc, etc... depends on my mood what I like. I was trying for an "eclectic" list.

The 2nd layout is April's and the challenge was our favourite foods, using a specific layout as inspiration (the sketch) and we had to have dimensional embellishments. Mine is using the super yummy Marrakesh I got from my friend Lisa over at Lisa's Scrap Shack (look I did a link, I'm ridiculously impressed with myself, let's hope it works...) The journalling reads "I still surprise myself by how much I love ethnic food! And to think, 10 years ago, I found mild salsa spicy !!"
