Got Tonsils????

Day 3 brings a layout that I would love to share with you.

I used Nikki Sivils Get Well Soon paper and put a catchy title "GOT TONSILS?"
This was my son who JUST had his tonsils out this Jun.  Yes, he is an adult, but they had to be taken out now or he would be in misery forever.

Hope you enjoy the layout.

Doesn't he look cute?

Birthday Card Posting

Hello, this is Day 2 of posting something

Today I have a card that I have done using the challenge on My Sketch World to make a Birthday Card.
Here is what I did:

I used the new Jillibean Soup, Grandma's Lima Bean Soup along with yellow card stock.

Come join the challenges.

Then just wanted to tell you that the paper I am using is celebrating their 4th birthday and have a birthday card challenge, so I will submit this.  I must tell you that Jillibean Soup is one of my favorite paper lines since the beginning with those little owls.

The Challenge

Hello Everyone,

I have been slacking by not posting on the blog.  So I decided I needed a challenge to post everyday of September.  I have a friend, Suzann, who has inspired me to do this and she will be doing posting on her blog also.

I found a sketch on The Studio Challenge Blog, which went along with a Labor Day Crop over at My Sketch World.  I was asked to do the letter "R" which stood for round.  So I knew I wanted to do a picture I took this last weekend of the boys when we went out to breakfast.

Here it is:

I used My Mind's Eye -- Indie Chick, paper, buttons, washi tape and Thickers with cardstock.
Come on over to My Sketch World and check out the crop this weekend.

Authentique Card Sketch

I saw a challenge over at Authentique that I thought I would try.
I made a birthday card using my 6 X 6 bundle of CELEBRATE, letters from Prima that are gray, and stars from Martha Stewart.
This is the sketch that Authentique came up with:

And here is my interpretation of it:

Hope you enjoy it.

From a Sketch on Lets Get Sketchy

Hello,

This weekend I found a sketch from a sketch call on LETS GET SKETCHY that I knew I had the perfect idea with pictures to do for this.  I was too late, but still like the sketch and yes it had a circle that I worked with.

I used an old Pink Paisley line called Vintage Vogue that has all my favorite colors.  I also used some more retirement pictures for my album an had fun creating it.  I fussy cut the back of the paper for the green celtic designs, sprayed a doily with some tattered angels mist and added a couple of flowers from Michaels and came up with this:

Here was the sketch:

and here was my take on it: 

Hope you enjoy it.

New Challenge making a Tim Tag

Hi everyone,
I have decided that I need to blog and do more crafts since I have no more excuses.  No More work and lots of supplies, so here is the first of many.
I found this blog, that has Tim Holtz Challenges according to his book "A Compendium of Curiosities, Volume 2".  I have been watching it or some might say stalking and decided this was the week I was going to jump in.  I wanted to make a tag for Kenny and this was my excuse.
The blog is:  Studio L3 and the challenge is 18 for page 47.  It deals with Whitewash Stamping.  Using all of Tim's things, which we know I have I came up with this.  I must say the film strip is not his, but it was attached with the tiny attacher.

I hope he likes it -- it was really fun to make and quite easy.  Can't wait to see what the challenge is next week.

August Sketch at My Sketch World

Here is a card I did for the August sketch at My Sketch World.

Lucy did a great job on the sketch using Octagon's and I followed it exactly since I loved it.
Here is the sketch:

and here is what I did with it.

Come on over to My Sketch World and play with the challenges for August.  There are lots of card and layout challenges that will push you outside of your box.
