My Favorite Sketch of the Weekend.

This weekend I got to go scrapping and did several pages from the birthday sketches that Lucy put on My Sketch World.  Some were easy and some were challenging.  Usually when I work I can do 3-4 in one month.  This month I have completed 8 pages with her sketch help.

So here is my favorite sketch:

I liked it because it had so many elements and I could use a variety of items to embellish the page.

This is what I came up with:

Let's see if I can tell you what I used for this:  Green Bazzil Cardstock, My Mind's Eye, Vanilla Bazzil Cardstock, Buttons, Twine, used a scalloped punch, some cardboard, some burlap, and thickers.

I had so much fun working on this with a picture I took of Fremont St. in Las Vegas.

Another Boy's Rule Sketch with My Mind's Eye

Over the weekend I got to play with My Mind's Eye line called Fun Days and a sketch from Boy's Rule Scrapbook Kit Blog.  I used my son's picture from Christmas and I loved the sketch.

The Sketch: 

and here is my take on this:

I distressed the stars with Coredinations Paper, used the embellishments and thickers for the "men", the circle I distressed with Tim Holtz ink and sanded it to get the look.

NEVER GO OUT OF STYLE is my latest page

This weekend I took some time to play with a kit I got from Boys Rule Scrapbook Kits and had so much fun gong out of my box and working on my MAN pages.  They had a sketch over there and I had the picture and paper so I went to town.

Here is the sketch:   

And here is what I came up with using the fabulous paper from We R Memory Keepers called Vintage T

and here is what I did in the corner

The only thing I added to the kit was the studs.  Now it even came with the Cat's Eye to ink and distress.  It really is a fabulous kits if you have boys and has lots of unique embellishments.

Sketches in Thyme has a circle in the Sketch this week

Today is another new Sketch at Sketches in Thyme.  I found this one more challenging because I am circle challenged, but figured it out and I found it to be fun.  I wanted to do some Christmas pictures of my "MEN" so I did a different spin on them.

Here is the sketch:




and here is my take on it using an older line from Imaginisce and it worked.



Come on over and play with us at Sketches in Thyme.  They have a prize that will be picked at the end of the month.  There is one more sketch next week and it is a 2 pager.  I am working on it now.

Guest Designer at Sketches in Thyme

Back to work and back to blogging.  I had a nice vacation and now it is time to scrap more.

This month I am a Guest Designer on Sketches in Thyme. 
So I got My Minds Eye -- Kraft Funday with accessories.  I got some pictures of my son an his new toy and started to play.  The sketch I got was perfect for it.

Here is the sketch: 



and here is my take on it -- enjoy!!!



come over and try the sketch -- it is a lot of fun.

3 of Tim Holtz Tags doing my version.

H Ladies,

My last post of 2011.  For my birthday my son gave me a weekend at a scrapping retreat.  So my friends were there and we had a birthday party and scrapped all weekend. 
On night we ended up doing new techniques doing Tim Holtz Tags of Christmas.  We shared and pooled our Tim supplies and this is what I came up with. 

The tag pictured was Day 10 and by far it was the most beautiful.  I loved the technique of putting Santa on the pendants.

This was my favorite technique of kissing the stamp.  I love how the deer came out and it really amazes me.  This was one of the extra tags he showed and I forgot what day.

Last we did  Day 5 and that is a really cool technique that fascinated all of us.  I used a Martha Stewart punch to do the wreath and I think it came out similar to Tim's.

Hope you enjoyed my spin n the 12 Tags of Christmas.  Next year I will do more and I promise to finish the other 9 throughout the year and frame them.

Look at some of the things I made

As I told you this weekend was my birthday and my son paid for me to go to a scrap weekend with some friends.  He ha been planning it since August.  I think I will keep him.

So I thought I would share the Christmas Cards, Gift Cards and Ornament I made.

Not sure which is my favorite card.  They were all fun to do and my friends will love them.

Note to self this ornament takes a lot of time, but does look nice.  I think it took about 2 hours an would you believe I am giving it away to someone who will appreciate it.

Loved doing these ornament they were Tim Holtz techniques.
