a link to her blog is here

Susan Renshaw

She had a great card challenge using this sketch

Here is mine 

I ran out of room for a quote - 

but this is what I cam up with 

my three is these buttons holes

The nubs were in a large bag of buttons I bought 

for the girls around Valentines day - 

They have been in a bag on my desk since February - 

 not a great colouring job

I had it half coloured in a bin since the fall 

nothing feels better than getting it completed & used up!

Thanks for the inspiration Susan

Wendy's Challenge - The party Continues!

I had to come up with a layout with the number 3 on it for the next challenge 

none of the kids had a 3rd birthday to scrapbook -

nor am I printing pictures till I have mine done !

so here it is -- 

I wanted to scrapbook my kids on 

Taylor's Trampoline last summer - 

she got it for her birthday but again 

I didn't have any standout center of the stage photos 

- so this worked out very well .

Here is a link to her page;

W2 Wendy's Blog

Wendy wanted a three and it needed to be influenced by this sketch 

Here is what I came up with 

I used the same layout as the pictures-

started with 2 patterns behind the photos

and the bunting gave me the idea for trim ....

 3 jumps for fun

 good thing it didn't need to be an exact match 

but I think it worked out really well..

Go dig out those tricky pictures and get them done !

Card Challenge

Lisa had an interesting challenge -

 her challenge was to make a Birthday card using 3 punches and three colours - 

again I left this one for a bit -

but when it came to it -

I looked into my drawer 

saw my Cupcake punch and it just came together 

Here is a link to Lisa's Blog

My Creative Endeavors

So here it is, 

nothing fancy but I like it 

I used my cupcake punch

an oval punch

then the tab punch in the top corner

a cheat really but everything else seamed too busy.

all in all I can see me making this card again 

hope  you have a creative day !

Twist back Thursday Sketch #5

Over at Sketch n scrap they have a bunch 

of challenges going on for their birthday bash

and if you have been on my blog at all in the last couple weeks 

you know I have nailed almost all of them,

One is stumping me but I am on it ! lol

Anyway I have been on a real roll with getting my scrapbooking 

caught up & getting these challenges under my belt -

today being no exception.

Here is a Link to the challenge
Sketch n Scrap

This is the use of an old sketch and giving it a twist

 here is the sketch 

the twist is the pictures must be outdoors.

so I dug in my box of pictures 

( which is starting to look low! )

and found a set that really didn't have a great focal picture

here is what I came up with 

Not sure how I came to the decision to pick these papers- looks better in person

but her it is done - 

I found these pictures hard as there was not real one stand out great picture

but I wanted to capture the moment - 

need a bit of hidden journaling on this but I can get that done 

Hope you have a fun memory making day!

Sketch N Scrap - Heather's Colour Palette Challenge

The Next challenge was by Heather Hall

from Sketch n Scraps Birthday bash.

I have been by Heather's Blog a few times as she makes

and sells beautiful Prim items You will want the check her out!

Here is a Link to her Blog:

The Olde Saltbox

Heather's Challenger was to use this Colour Palette.

I was working on an earlier layout for a different site and chose these colours.

i know they say you can use one layout for different sites but that feels like cheating,

especially when i am trying to get layouts done - 

so I created a second page making it a two Page layout! 

One page for each site! Tada! 

here is what I came up with for page two:

 There is pink and blue in the background paper  & the hexagons.

I added the Green Hexagon paper with green accents in the hexagons.

The first page which I used for a previous challenge on another rite matched better, 

but none the less I have gotten my photos scrapped!

Here is the layout you all have seen earlier this week:

and here is the two page spread!

These picture where from her Birthday years ago.

All the little girls would go to a studio and have their pictures taken -

they would take home one photo and parent could purchase the rest.

Of course there was also a huge fee for the Birthday Girl's Parent.

I cleaned out one of my office at work,

and set up a photo shoot of my own, 

The sitting area became a dance party while you waited for your turn.

they had a blast at a fraction of the price!

Hope you all have a great thrifty day!
