THE MEDALS!

It was my turn to do another challenge for the crop at Sisterhood of Scrap. If you've watched very much of my scrapping over the years you know I love metal in its many shapes and forms! It was only appropriate therefore for me to do the MEDAL challenge!

This is my GOLD MEDAL example (using 7 different "styles" of metal (brad, photo corner, butterfly, stick pin, framed thingy, bookplate, buckle) and six different colours - pewter, bronze, copper, blue, green, silver).

Leave me a note and let me know what you think? I love this photo of her holding that big nightcrawler!

Have a scrap-happy day!

Good Clean Fun

I hope you like today's post! I used Sketch 12-12 from Sketches: Creatively Yours! This sketch was drawn by Ali - our fearless leader... I hope you enjoy my interpretation of it. This is the right side page of a two pager - the other page can be found here:

Have a scrap-happy day!

Back to Babies!

I am still working on my grandson's album. Here is a photo that is long over-due to be scrapped. In it, he's about four hours old and enjoying the quiet of night in his momma's arms.

With this layout, I completed all of the Sisterhood of Scrap's Amazing March challenges! For this challenge we were to use the piece of ephemera that you see in the lower left hand corner of the layout. Since I wanted a soft, Victorian-type feel to this layout, it worked perfectly.

Thanks for checking in and have a scrap-happy day!



In case you were missing them

here's another layout featuring the two cutest grandkids in the world!  Saturday night I participated in a one-hour crop over at Sisterhood of Scrap. It was so much fun! I'm glad I was able to stay awake for it. :-)

The entire month of January, these two delighted in dumping the dog's toys out of this basket. Their mom finally decided enough was enough, put them in the basket and we took their picture!

Have a scrap-happy day!

No longer stalled

I know this may surprise some of you, my readers, but I do have other subjects besides my grandkids and my dog! I actually have children. :-)

Here's a layout of my beautiful girl. She's graduating from Briercrest College and Seminary in Saskatchewan next month with her four-year Bachelor of Arts in Global Studies degree. We're so proud of her and looking forward to what her future holds!

The tag you'll recognize from a couple of days back, but the paper is from the Scrappin Sports line sold at Tina's Scrapbooking!

Thanks for checking this out. I did a challenge over at Scrapshotz using this layout wherein I tried my hand at Glimmer Mist..  It didn't turn out as well as I'd hoped. I obviously need moe practice.

In the meantime, have a scrap-happy day!

Want to hear something freaky?  I had this all set up to post this morning all by itself but when I turned on my computer on Wednesday, there it was! I nearly had a heart attack! Everything is supposed to be revealed on the S:CY blog first. Oh dear! I had to take it all down and re-put it up this morning. So, if there's any confusion or weirdness.. let's blame it on the blogger gremlins, shall we?

Without further explanations or adieu, here's Sketch 8-12 from Sketches: Creatively Yours!

This time our layout was created by Ali MacDonald, site owner. I love the way she hand draws her sketches - gives me hope that maybe I can draw my own someday instead of "winging it" all the time! LOL

And here's my interpretation

It's quite rare that I have ever had baby Hugo fall asleep on me. It seems that he's always on his way somewhere or cuddling with his mamma.... He truly is his mom's boy, but I have to say that I truly treasured  having these few quiet moments with him.

Have a great weekend everyone! I'm off tomorrow to scrapbook with my local gals. Hopefully working on dh's 50th birthday book or some of those little tag books I shared yesterday!

Chat at ya later!



First Sketch!

Hi everyone,

Today is an exciting day! It's not only my hubby's 50th birthday, but it's also the day that the new design team is featured for the first time over at S:CY!  Here is my interpretation of sketch #7-12 (seen below):

Sketch 7-12 designed by Ann Seleshanko the Senior Designer at S: CY

If you decide to try this sketch as well, don't forget to link it to this morning's S:CY blog post so we all can see! Let me know and tell them I sent you. ;-)

Have a great weekend!

I'M THRILLED!!!

I have been sitting on this information for over a month now and am finally able to tell you!!! I am excited to announce that I've been selected as a layout design team member for Sketches: Creatively Yours. My term will run from March 1 through August 31.

I've been hanging out at the site for a little while and have thoroughly enjoyed the little community and the talent and inspiration I find there. I hope you'll pop over and scrap with me!

 

Come on over and meet the other gals announced this morning. I've seen some of their work and it's beautiful! You won't lack for inspiration!
