My Sketch World and My Scraps and More Challenges

Of coarse, I always play at my home, aka MSW, but I found a new message board, blog and store! It's called My Scraps and More! The girls are so sweet, just like the girls at MSW and Tammi, the owner is awesome, just like Lucy! I have combined a few of the challenges from these 2 sites and love the outcome!!

For my first layout, Hoover Dam, I used Ann's Fussy Cutting Challenge at MSW and the April 1st Sketch Challenge at My Scraps and More and came up with this layout:

For my second layout, Like A Cheese Head, I used Cindy's Lyric Challenge at MSW and the sketch contest sketch by Jana Eubanks at My Scraps and More and made this layout:

Scrappy Time!

I squeezed in some scrappy time here and there this week along with a few hours last week and a few today. I did manage to get 3 cards and 3 layouts done. I can't share 1 card and 1 layout quite yet, but will as soon as I can.

For my first card, I combined 3 challenges, the April 7th card sketch at Sassy Lil Card Sketches , the April Colour Challenge at Design Dollies (which was, royal blue, orange, lime green and white) and Lisa's rub-on challenge at MSW.

I have had these papers and rub-on in my stash for quite some time, it felt good to use them!

For my second card I used the April 1st sketch at MSW and combined it with the 2nd challenge at Scraptivation, which was photo inspiration challenge.

Here is the sketch:

and here is my card:

Scraptivations

One of the girls I know at Scrapdango has started her own challenge blog! It's called Scraptivations. Carly posted the first challenge, a sketch, a few weeks ago.

Here is the sketch:

The kids were so excited when DH got his new laptop for work, but they didn't want the laptop, they wanted the bubble wrap it came in. lol! Here is my layout using the sketch:

Another vacation layout!

I finally scrapped a few more pics from our trip to California last summer! I combined a few challenges, the first challenge was a sketch at Design Dollies:

The second challenge was a Tic-Tac Toe Challenge at The Paper Variety.

I used the bottom row- make a layout, include a bird and use scallops and came up with this layout:

Paper Variety

I found the Paper Variety through a friend at MSW, and saw this sketch on their site by Jana Eubank and knew I had to play along! I am a banner girl and fell in love with this sketch!

My first card reveal!

I made the card DT at MSW! and this is my first card reveal! Okay, yeah, I am a few days late, but I still wanted to share the card sketch and my card for the March 15th reveal at MSW

I also had a chance to play with the March 1st layout sketch, a 2 pager! It's been quite awhile since I have done a 2 page layout, but this sketch was so easy to work with!

Lucy puts out a new card and layout sketch twice a month, the 1st and the 15th. The message board has a wonderful, caring group of girls! Stop over and check it out!

Recycled Dryer Sheet Blooms

I was blog reading last week and visited Gabrielle's blog and saw these wonderful flowers! They are made out of used dryer sheets and are so fun and easy to make! I made the flowers first and they were so elegant looking, I decided I needed an elegant photo to go along with them. I choose a few older photos of Sierra when she was 4 and a flower girl in my friends wedding. I love these flowers and now have to get more colors of Glimmer Mists so I can make more!

Here is my layout:

Best Creation Challenge

On the Best Creation's blog, they have a contest going through today. The challenge- create a fun birthday card using any Best Creations papers you have on hand.
I am not sure how old these papers are (I've had them for awhile) or the line they are, but they worked perfect for a fun, bright birthday card!

I fussy cut the kites and flowers from the pattern papers, made a few handmade flowers and a candle. The sentiment is also cut from one of the patterned papers.
