Sweet Smile

I made this page using a sketch from 52 Sketches...52 Weeks. I also did this for Butterfly Crafts' challenge; what makes me happy.

Layouts

It's getting really hard to keep up with this blog. Just posting the pics of my pages is pretty much it. I don't know how some bloggers write so much so often. These pages are the ones I created

last few days. I am participating a month long crop at My Sketch World but didn't start until late last week and had some catching-up to do. On some of these, I used sketches. Do you notice I used a same sketch on 2 of the layouts here.

Dip & Fun

I love these Basic Grey papers!! I am posting 2 layouts tonight. The first one was done last night using a sketch from 52 Sketches...52 Weeks. I chose these photos for Butterfly Craft's favorite food challenge. My dd and my dh love spinach and artichoke dip. If they haven't tried the dip form a particular restaurant, they would try and sometimes rate them...lol. The second one was created based on a sketch from Pink Sketches. The photo was taken when we went to see a baseball game last week.

I've been productive...

Hope everybody had a good 4th. We went to my husband's sister's for BBQ. We had a very good time. After my husband's parents left, we stayed and talked to my sister-in-law and her husband for a while. We had a nice visit. Despite of a limited scrappin time, I managed to create this many this weekend. I actually made one more. But I can't post that one yet. Most of these pages were created using sketches... from Capture These Sketches, 52 Sketches...52 Weeks, and Pink Sketch. Snow White layout was done for Scrapping Around the Clock's monochromatic challenge. And the stitching on it was for Method Playground's stitching challenge. The last one was for Scrappy Times' Suzy Blu inspo.

Layouts

The rest of the layouts I made this weekend. I scrapped the first one today. I was thinking about doing something else when I saw this sketch on my scrap paper. It is this month' BAP on Prima. I truely love this sketch but my Prima supplies are very limited and I wasn't sure if I could make a page. Anyway I decided to put this page together. I had one patterned paper, 2 large scraps of different patterned papers and letter chipboard of Prima. The heart isn't a complete one. If it wasn't for the prize I got last year, I wouldn't have any Prima. The second page was done based on MSW sketch and the last one was done based on the current sketch from Pink Sketch. I also made it for Butterfly Crafts. Their current one is to create a page using your favorite color. Blue was my dd's favorite color back then.

Layout Galore

Some completed last weekend, some done during the week. The first 3 were done yesterday.

Be You & Beauty

2 simple pages...

Mr. Bear & Hangin' Out

I created 2 pages this afternoon. The first one titled Mr.Bear was done for Scrappy Times color challenge. I now know why I don't participate color challenges. They are so hard! I had to look for the papers with the colors first then picked this photo. The papers and accents are mostly of Making Memories. I also made this one the entry for Butterfly Craft challenge. The second page was done based on Page Maps sketch. My dd took my camera with her when she went out with her friends during Spring break. They went to Borders and acted silly (I'm sure).

One Day at a Time

I almost forgot to post this layout. I was invited to guest desig over at Butterfly Crafts. This was done for the current challenge, 2009 goals. I first thought of creating a page about my diet. I actually took and printed a couple of photos of the scale and a box of cake mix with a jar of icing, thinking a big slice of cake would be a reward. Then I thought of it some more. This year, I want to learn something new, try new techniques on my pages, create more layouts, take better care of myself, get back on walking.... these are some of my goals/wishes. So the phrase 'one day at a time' came to my mind. Whatever the goal is, I want to take one day at a time. And I want my dd to do the same. I ended up with choosing these photos of her working on her Math. It's the subject she has hard time with and I was helping her with it that day. Or maybe I was afraid I don't have strong will to stay on diet..... This page turned out to be simple, not much embellies...

2 Layouts

I created 2 pages today. The first one was based on a sketch from Scrappy Times. And the second one was done for Butterfly Crafts' challenge. It was to create a page about favorite 2008 momories. I've had this camera I am using for a while but never uploaded the program because I was able to use the program I already had from my old camera. I finally uploaded the new program and it upgraded what I had. AND I dicovered this feature. I inserted the text on the photos!!

Winter Wonderland & You Inspire Me

Can't believe this is the last weekend before Christmas! I am still trying to finish up a few things. I am posting 2 pages tonight. The first one was done for Dreamgirls. We had snow last week. Unfortunately I was at work. But when I got home, I took some photos outside. My DH took some photos with a disposable camera and I will be picking them up soon. Hopefully there are some good day-time photos I can scrap. This challenge was to use the sketch, bling, and Christmas song as a title. I applied stamp ink to the baby blue chipboard for the title. My second one tonight was done for new challenge blog, Butterfly Craft. The background paper I used was very cute and I took an advantage of it.
