I'll be posting challenge #15 along with my March challenge tomorrow.

Thanks for stopping! See you tomorrow....and it will be worth your stop! I promise!! :)

New Challenge Posted!!

Today is Feb 15th and that means it is time for a new challenge at ScrapFit!!


Challenge #14

The Power of One is what Workout #14 is all about!
You have to do a Monochromatic LO using either pink, red, white or black!

I, of course, chose pink!!

Reminder: click on any of the photos for a larger view!

I put a rub-on on the top of an acrylic piece then wrote the journaling with a Sharpie. I used light pink paint, and a mix of shades of Ranger Distress inks to color the back.

The key is a naked pieces from Bazzill that I covered with light pink paint from Making Memories. Once the paint was dry, I covered it with a variety of shades of Ranger Distress inks. The final step, covering the key with Distress Rock Candy paint.

To add some texture, I used the cuttlebug and embossed the acrylic flourishes from Bo Bunny.

I cut the flowers from pattern paper, inked the edges, and added a bit of Ranger Distress Rock Candy paint of the edges.

Have a super scrappy day!

How was your weekend?

Me? I had the best time cropping with the ladies at Life Preservers! They are a hoot! I was blown away by the all amazing challenges and make'N takes the DT put together!! I really didn't accomplish much scrappy wise, I was too busy chatting it up on the boards...imagine that?!

I did host another 1 hour sketch challenge using a wonderful sketch from my sweet friend Aymee at A Sketchin' Southernbelle.





If you are looking for some inspiration check out the board and gallery at LP. The ladies have done some incredible work!!

Have a happy scrappy day!

Happy Saturday, everyone!

The Crop at Life Preservers is in full swing!! Wohoo, I've definately been having a Latte fun!! I've got a bit of scrappy goodness to share with you today, so let's get down to business!!

But first, before I get into my goodies from the crop, I want to share with you my layout for the Scrap Bachelor Contest for week 3! We were to do a layout about music in our life. I used a sketch from Sassy Lil' Sketches for my inspiration.




Now, here are a few of the things I put together for the crop.

Newly posted, is my Build a Snowman Challenge!




I used my snowman to create a Valentine card for my son.





I hosted a 1 hour sketch contest using a super fun sketch from the ladies at Creative Scrappers!




Here is my version



I will be hosting another 1 hour sketch contest Sunday at 1:00pm Central. I would love to see you there!


Next is a Winter 2010 Color Combo challenge.

My example



That's it for today! Now, I am headed back to the crop to complete some of the other fun challenges and super cute make n' takes!! Stop back tomorrow and see what I was able to complete! Or, better yet, meet me there!!

TGIF!! Time to Crop!

Wohoo! I have been looking forward to Life Preservers Latte Love cropping weekend for a while!! We will open the weekend with an early bird sketch created by our own ubberly talented Sandra at 6:00 tonight! The DT has been working hard putting together double shots of challenges, Make N Takes, and games! It is sure to be a "Latte" fun!

Here is another layout I created with the awesome January Alternate kit

Non kit items: buttons, butterflies, jute, floss, ink, stitching, fabric


I hope to see you at the crop!!

Wow! I just realized how long it has been since I posted!! I was busy working on challenges for our up coming crop at Life Preservers!!! The crop starts Friday evening and goes through Sunday. I hope you’ll pop in and join us for some super sweet games, Make N takes, Challenges, and chatter. It is sure to be a “Latte” fun!! details are here!

Speaking of a “Latte” fun, I got my Life Preservers January Kit in the mail!! IT is the first time I've had the pleasure to work with October Afternoon papers. I am in love with these Farm Fresh papers!! The ribbon/trim in the kit are perfect with it!

I have to say that I don’t feel my projects have done these papers justice. I’ve lost my scrappy mojo, but I’ve been trying to pull myself out of this little lull!

First, I’ll share a layout I created with the kit. I do like the end results, but it is not at all where I was going when I started!




Next, I created a cover for a gift bag…..I really don’t like how this turned out. It seems to be off balance somehow….or maybe it is just me?!! This is my first attempt ever at a shaker box!







Time for a new challenge at ScrapFit!

The challenge is to create a bra card….thank your friends for their support!!




You can find a template and instructions here!

Have an awesome day!
