I really enjoy visiting American Crafts blog. They have weekly themes and share so much great projects with the readers and I get inspired a lot. They also have weekly challenges. I don't get to participate every week but try to do as much as I can. Here is my entry this week. The challenge is to use two or more Botanique products. I have some different embellies by American Crafts but when it comes to papers I only have a la Carte pack and I have used them on every entry for their challenges. I lucked out this week because the prize package I received from BASB included some Botanique papers and the stickers :):):) I was a little stingy using them on this page though. They are so pretty I have to make them last longer!

Supplies: papers: American Crafts, sticker: American Crafts, felt flowers: American Crafts, ribbons: American Crafts, Thickers: American Crafts, buttons: Autumn Leaves, tag: unknown

I Love U

I scrapped this page yesterday for the current challenge at American Crafts. It is to create a Valentine themed page. I used these photos I took earlier this month. She is a talker and I thought those American Crafts ribbons would go very well with her photos :)

Supplies: Papers: American Crafts, Teresa Collins, Ribbons: American Crafts, Letters: American Crafts, Chipboard: Me & My Big Ideas, Flowers: Prima

Good bye 2009

... is the title of my page that I am posting here today. This photo was taken on 12/31/09. I wan't home at that time and she was going out with her friend before I would get home. So her friend took this photo for me. I created this layout for American Craft's this week challenge. It is to create a layout celebrating 2009 or 2010. Supplies used are.... papers: American Crafts, Rub-on: American Crafts, Thickers: American Crafts, Flowers: Prima, Pearls: Queen & Co. I pleated yellow paper strips to make borders and pleated green/white paper strip to make a flower.

O Christmas Tree

Christmas came and went. And the world will be counting down for the new year in some 24 + hours. Since I am off tomorrow, I am hoping to scrap a layout or two. Anyway here is the page I created for American Crafts' Christmas week challenge. Their DT's examples are gorgeous always and the challenge participants layouts are just as wonderful. I feel a little embarrased to submit mine, but at least I can get a page done :) Papers under the photos, tree trim, and green foil Thickers are of American Crafts.

Autumn Splendor

I definitely need more than 24 hours a day this week! I want to scrap a few more layouts before Christmas and I simply don't have enough time! I managed to create this page of my favorite photo tonight though. It is this week's American Craft's challenge to create a page with a favorite photo. I don't get to have pictures taken with my dd and my dh took this one for me last month. It was such a pretty day and I asked we would go to a park for some photo shoots. We had never gone to a park or any place just to take photos and it was very special for me.

Supplies used are mostly American Crafts except solid color cardstock, brads, and a sticker. I also used a sketch from 52 Sketches...52 Weeks. I also wanted to share this photo taken last night. We went to see Christmas lighting display at square in Canton. It was beautiful!!
