Numbers challenge

This weekend was crazy busy for us.  (We had three family birthdays, one being a 70th celebration.)  And of course that's when one of my favourite scrappy sites, Dixie Pieces, had an online crop.  I had to miss out on a lot of that fun but they have some fantastic challenges up.  (FYI - the challenges run to Nov. 13th so you can still get in on the fun!)  The first challenge I tackled was from Kim Holmes and required a number on a card. 
 Supplies: patterned paper - Creative Imaginations,
stamps - MM
ink - SU
brads - Basic Grey
cardstock- Coredinations, Bazzill
Other- Judikins, pop dots


 Cardstock - Bazzill
Stamps - Gelatins, Stamping Bella
Embossing powder - ranger
inks - colorbox, memories, Versamark
Cuttlebug embossing folder
plastic dew drops (unknown)

I'll be posting more of the challenges I completed this week.  Now to get down to getting more completed!  Thanks for taking a look and please join me in taking on a challenge or two!

2 of a kind

I completed this LO for an October challenge (vintage photo) on Dixie Pieces using a sketch from Let's Scrap.  The vintage photo I used is of my little sister who passed away when she was 12.  Her picture is on the bottom.  The photo on the top is my daughter, taken at almost the same age.  I think it is an absolute gift how much my daughter looks like my sister, but it is a little creepy sometimes.

Sorry, the colours are a little off.  It seemed I couldn't get them quite right no matter when or how I tried to take the pictures.  IRL they are slightly softer and the "orange" flower is actually pink.

Supplies - flowers- Prima, from my stash; Flourishes - Cricut; Dew Drops (plastic) - unknown, patterened paper and sticker letters - Echo Park (little girl)

Thanks so much for taking a peek at my work!

My first posting at Let's Scrap

I was recently introduced to Let's Scrap by Kristine Ponte and was very pleased with what I found!  I arrived just in time to take advantage of an October challenge for those who have never posted to Let's Scrap.  All I had to do was create a LO with a sketch (not any from Oct 2011) and post it to the gallery.  So that's what I did.  I hope you like it!

Here's the link to the sketch - Lets Scrap
Supplies - Cricut, Basic Grey, Fancy Pants, Target (ribbons), Making Memories, Thickers

Thanks so much for peeking at my blog!

Happy Halloween!

I love Halloween!  I really love Halloween!  My stash of scrappy supplies for Halloween is far larger than for any other time of the year.  And that means I have tonnes of supplies and ideas for projects that I just never seem to have the time for.  This year I dug deep and pulled out a wood set from Carolee's Creations, from about 3 years ago I think.  I found the perfect paper and went to work.  And of course, my kids love it, but I think that has more do to with the lollipops than anything else.

Supplies - Paint - Apple Barrel, Plaid; Papers - Basic Grey Eerie; Lettering- Thickers; Eyes - SEI monsters; Metallic Rub On - Craf-T.

Thanks for taking the time to look.  Comments are always welcome!

Fall is definitely here!

Here I've used Best Creations Hello Fall Line to frame some of my fall pictures.  The glitter papers are really fun and all this was made from three sheets of it!



Sorry about the colour on this photo. After many attempts to get better colour I gave up.  IRL it is more orange and less pink.
Brads - Basic Grey
Paper flower - supplies unknown
