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!!

G’ morning everyone!! Today’s the big day!!! Our Life Preservers Crop!! There are so many fun games, challenges, and make N takes for inspiration! Stop by and say Hi!

Here is my challenge:

What's a party without friends!? I hope you don't mind, but I've invited Danny Dracula, Freddy Frankenstein, Matilda Mummy, and Wanda Witch.
My challenge to you is to create a layout in honor of our friends. It does not need to be fall or Halloween related...create whatever theme you like. However, in honor of our friends your layout must contain the following:

Danny Dracula - Red (Danny's favorite color. It does not need to be the dominate color. Danny says jsut a drop of blood...I mean color is fine!)
Freddy Frankenstein - brads or eyelets ( they remind Freddy of his bolts!)
Maltida Mummy - Ribbon or trim
Wanda Witch - bling or glitter (Wanda says even witches like a little glitz when going out over the town!)

And here is my example….don’t you just love these Collage Press papers?! My favorite!!







For my make N take, I created these fun little treat bags! (again with some awesome Collage Press papers!) These would be fun for neighbors and coworkers!





Directions:You can use any size square, depending on what and how much you want to put inside. A 12x12 is large enough to put several things in, and 6x6 is perfect for a gift card. I made mine 8x8.

Step 1: cut a square from double sided paper ( I cut mine 8x8)


Step 2: fold in half to form a triangle




Step 3: bring bottom left corner up until straight across and fold




Step 4: bring right corner up until straight across and fold




Step 5: Bring one layer of the top point down and fold




Now, you should have a pocket that looks like this:




Step 6: Decorate!!

Whew! I made it through one more round in the BSH contest at life preservers! I am sooo sad to see so many eliminated this week. I don't know...I am really struggling with the journaling for this week! Yikes!

Here are some of my creations from last week for the contest! I had done so many layout over the past weeks that I decided it was time for a switch! I altered a couple dollar frames I picked up at Michaels‘, and one I had picked up on clearance for 5 bucks! Don’t you love the scrolly stuff on that one!

The flower here looks black or blue in the photo, but it was actually made with two tone purple paper! I then sprayed it with frost glimmer mist. Very pretty, IRL! The green paper is out of the September card kit from Life Preservers Scrapbook Club.




Can you believe that I only paid $1 a piece for these frames! That's the way I like to shop!!



Everything on this is out of the August card kit from Life Preservers Scrapbook Club except the trim, brads, and ink.





Whose up for a blog hop!! ScrapFit is taking part in a blog hop on Friday! Each challenge blog will be doing a fun mini challenge and giving away prizes!! Come back Friday for the event posting!

Gorgeous Card Kit from Lifepreservers Scrapbook Club

These papers from Collage Press are gorgeous!! Combine them with the fantasic goodies that Von finds and we have a fabulous August Card Kit from http://www.lifepreserversclub.com !!

I started out making this for the BSH contest at Lifepreservers Scrapbook club. We had to use an 8.5x11 sketch for inspiration. I then added some cardstock and a few more pp stripsand a little lace to turn it into a 12x12 to fit my album! Sneaky, huh!!

I just love the airplane paper!! I was perfect for the photos of our stop at the Space and Air Museum!
