Wink - Creative Scrappers Sketch 75



Creative Scrappers reveal today! Here is my take on sketch #75 ... and that is my last layout for Creative Scrappers as a design team member. It has been fun and I will definitely still be using their fabulous sketches!! My layout was a quick and easy one to document my youngest trying very hard to wink. She is the cutest. I also played along with Practical Scrappers challenge to use "lace cardstock" on your layout - I am way behind for that challenge though since I couldn't post it until today for the Creative Scrappers reveal!

Most of the supplies used are Cosmo Cricket.

Things you say


I wanted to do a layout to remember the cute things my three year old says. She speaks so well now that these are the last of the funny mis-pronunciations:)

All product is from Close to my Heart, except for the title, which is AC Thickers.

Candy Monsters


I was thrilled to be a guest designer for a la Carte, a fabulous challenge blog where you pick your own challenge from the menu! This is the menu this month:

1. orange, black, green, and purple
2. paper piercing
3. glitter
4. a "monstrous" embellishment
5. 3 photos
6. a candy wrapper

So for my layout, I used orange, black, green and purple, I used my piercing tool to make holes all around my orange piece of paper and I also cut out the monsters, I have glitter on my "candy" letters, I used a "monstrous" flourish and bracket (as well, I included monsters:-), I have three photos, and there are candy wrappers in the photos! Fun, fun! Aphra's layout is fabulous so go and check it out here! Have a wonderful day!

She....

Happy Friday!!! Looking at this layout makes me sad because I love my girls in sundresses and I love taking photos outside and today it feels like winter is FAST approaching!!! I am not ready for it!

Well this layout fits for lots of different challenges: Orange/Brown Color Challenge at JuJu Bees Scrapbook Corner, and using up your Transparencies challenge at both Creative Scrappers and Practical Scrappers (great minds think alike)!! The orange piece is my transparency piece that I cut up and put over top of a white piece so it would "pop" better.

Enjoy your weekend!! I am excited to be scrapbooking with the fabulous October kit from JuJu Bees Scrapbook Corner - so be sure to check back in soon...it is an AMAZING kit!!!!! AND, if you are interested in the September kit...now is the time, Julia may even give you a reduced price!!!
