Snow Day!

I am so thankful for our snow day today, gives me time to catch up on my blogging, lol!

On my first layout I used the Frosted Designs Sketch #35, I have been playing there only a few weeks and love their challenges.

I also am using this layout for the ScrapFit: http://scrapfit.blogspot.com/ (another new site I found!) Workout #62:

My second page is for the Fabulous Friday Challenge at Frosted Designs. The challenge was to use a geometric shape 3 times on project. I choose a triangle and added it to my banner 3 times:

Thanks for stopping by today!

I Found My Mojo!

Maybe I just needed a little break from scrapping?

I had lost my mojo for about a week and it finally found it's way back home! YAY! I used my mojo and combined it with Lucy Chesna's last few sketches for the Sketch-a-thon going on over at MSW.

For my first layout I used sketch # 15:

For my second layout I used sketch #13:

and a close up of some gorgeous crochet flowers my friend Bev sent me along with a SPARKLY birdcage I have been eyeballing forever!

My last layout I used sketch #11 and this layout is also for the Fabulous Friday Challenge at Frosted Designs: http://frosteddesigns.blogspot.com/

and a close up of the accordion butterfly I made. I didn't think of this on my own, I ran across it while blog reading and cannot remember where it was, or how the person connected the halves of butterflies, so I just used ribbon. Would love to give you credit if it was your blog.

Thanks for taking time out of your busy day and sharing mine!

Frosted Designs and a Lucy Chesna Sketch!

I found the Frosted Designs blog a while ago and have just been reading the blog posts and challenges. Well, they had a blog hop last weekend and I decided to hop along for some inspiration and am so glad I did! Such fabulous work! I combined their challenge, to use the word "LOVE" on your project along with a sketch( #10) by none other than Lucy Chesna and came up with this layout:

Yup, I DID IT, I used PINK on a boy layout! lol

BTW the Sketch-a-thon is going on all month long at MSW this month, GO CHECK IT OUT!

Here are a few more cards and another layout I did for the Sketch-a-thon this month:

I just realized, these are all Christmas, lol! I started my Christmas cards way too late last year and then had to rush to get them done before Christmas, so I thought I would start early this year :)

Thanks for stopping by today!

Celebrate!

Lucy is celebrating 6 years at My Sketch World with a Sketch-a-thon this month! Her sketches are amazing! There is still lots of time to play, if you love sketches, go check it out!

I am a little bit behind with the sketches, but wanted to share my first 3 projects I have finished and uploaded to the gallery.

Scrapbook Challenges Blog Hop

My dear friend Bev invited me to hop along with her and her fellow design team at Scrapbook Challenges. They had a wonderful blog hop this weekend and a great sketch to play with!

I saw all the places for pics on this and thought, "What a perfect sketch to do a layout for a year in review" and that is what I did:

Thanks for the invite Bev!

My Scraps & More New Year Resolutions Blog Hop

Welcome to the My Scraps & More first blog hop!
The arrival of a new year always brings resolutions along with it. We at My Scraps & More are focusing on these resolutions all through the month of January with a crop on the forum and we are starting it off with a blog hop!

This is the order of the hop:

My Scraps & More blog (start here)
Lisa (you are here)
Shawna (go here next)
Janelle
Tracy

My Scraps & More Blog

As you hop along to each of the Design Team's blogs you will be collecting "ingredients" to our New Year's recipe. After you have collected all the ingredients, create a layout using those "ingredients". Post a comment on the My Scraps & More blog with a link to your layout.

Layouts are due Sunday, January 8, 11:59 pm.

Tammi will randomly select a winner for the grand prize of Fancy Pants Winterland paper collection.

Watch along the way, some of the design team members are giving away RAKs with their own requirements.

Happy Hopping!

***************************

For my resolution, I choose to quit a bad habit. I started smoking back in my senior year of highschool and have been smoking ever since, twenty some years. I have tried to quit a few times (New Years Resolutions) with no success. When I went in for my yearly checkup in September, I talked to my doctor about it and he prescribed me Chantix. I started taking it and have been smoke free since October 8th! Now if I could only give up the chocolate, lol!

Anyway, here is my layout using some JilliBean Soup:

For my "ingredient", I would like you to use some twine on your layout. If you don't have any twine, you may use string or fibers. Also, for anyone who leaves me a comment, I will enter your name in a random drawing to win a RAK from me. I would love for you to become a follower, but it is not necessary to win the RAK.

Thanks for stopping by today and enjoy the hop!

Ok, now off you go to see what Shawna's been up to. http://twokidspaper.blogspot.com/
