Rev It Up!

There's a challenge up on the Cards In Envy today and it will get your motor racing! LOL!
The challenge is to create a flat card that doesn't require extra postage and feature something on it with an engine that you REV up!
I used the Echo Park All About A boy Collection for this fun guy card:


 
I would love if you played along with us! Please link your card in their challenge post at Cards In Envy.
 
Enjoy your day!

Happy Monday!

Welcome to a new week!
It was my turn to play with the Let's Get Sketchy sketch this week! I have been trying to use some of my older Echo Park lines up and this sketch was perfect!
I also used older pics from Spring Break, 2012 for this layout:

 
I fussy cut some of the small Polaroid frames and added small pictures in them:

 
Here is Brenshevia's sketch:
 
 
Hope you will play along with us this month!

In The Tunnel

Hello fellow scrappers!
Just want  to share a fun layout I made of our Spring Break trip to the Mall of America. While there we spent some time at SeaLife and are so glad we did! The tunnel there is awesome! This is a photo of the kids as they were WOWED by the sealife swimming by. I used scraps of paper- red & green, that I had previously cut circles from with the wonderful Circle Cutter and had used on a previous layout. I used the Kreaxions 4 in 1 Punch #304 with no insert for my border. I used the same punch with the C insert to punch my corner on the red paper. I also used a mask and some mists to make more circles on my layout:

 
Here is a close up of the border:

 
A few of the previously cut circles:

 
The larger previously cut circle along with the masking:
 
 
Here are the Kreaxions products I used:




 
Enjoy your weekend!

Card Sketch

Practical Scrappers has a new sketch up on their blog today!
I am trying to use up some of my stash, so I used the Playground Collection by Echo Park. I cut out the sun, added some stitching and a SRM sticker for my sentiment.  Here is my card:




                                                              and the fun sketch:
 
Stop on over to their blog to see what some of the other designers did with the sketch.

Packer Fans!

Of coarse being and living in Wisconsin we are PACKER FANS!

This photo of Sierra and Greg were taken last summer at the Packers training camp we went and seen. It was cool to see the players up close!

Good morning and happy Wednesday!

For my layout I used some Elle's Studio Saltwater Collection, Echo Park Here & Now, and a little Fancy Pants Hopscotch mixed in with it:

 
I love how it turned out!
Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

Anything Goes!

Good morning and happy Monday!
This week on the Let's Get Sketchy blog is an anything goes theme! I decided to use the sketch Brenshevia posted as a guest designer on the Turtle Soup earlier this month, after all, I love her sketches!
On my layout, I used a picture of Austin taken after at his one and only football game last fall:

 
Here is the sketch:

 
Stop on over to the LGS blog and see what the other designers did. Also you have a few more days to play along with this sketch at the Turtle Soup.
 
Have a happy Monday!

Happy Friday!

Good morning and welcome to the weekend!

It's Friday! That means there's a new sketch up on the My Scraps & More Sketch Blog. I used the I {Heart} Summer line by Simple Stories along with a photo of Austin at his end of the year baseball party that my friend Julie took. I used a chevron mask and added Glimmer Mist over it. Love how this turned out:

 
Here is Tammi's fun sketch:

 
If you love sketches, there is a new one posted on the blog every Friday about 10:00 a.m. EST.
 
Thanks for stopping by and sharing your day with me!

Follow Your Dreams

Hello and happy Thursday!
It's my day up on the Just Imagine Blog today, just want to share my layout here as well.
I used the Kreaxions 4 in 1 Punch #905 with insert A and punched all around my page by lining up the edge of the previous punched area with the edge of the punch. Once I had it punched, I backed it with pink cardstock to make it stand out even more:


a close up:

Enjoy your day!

Just want to share a layout I made using the Echo Park Happy Camper Collection:



Here are a few close ups: 
I made my own doily using a Kreaxions punch and the star template:

 
I machine stitched stars and colored them in with watercolor pencils and added a little water:

 
Hope you have a great rest of the week and an even better weekend!

Letter Stickers

Today up on the Practical Scrappers Blog the 10 Things Team used letter stickers to give you inspiration.
On my layout I created a border using left over Thickers and used some old Fancy Pants school papers:

 
I will be doing this more often to use up some of my left over alphas and numbers.
Go check out what the rest of the girls did!
