I just added all of my layout sketches to the site! Whoo-hoo! (You can find links to the right side of the screen under pages —–>) Or… you can click here.  I have been meaning to do this for awhile, but haven’t had time. I will be adding more as time allows.

To kick things off… how about a sketch challenge/contest???  Here’s the deal: use this sketch for indspiration and create a layout.  The prize is a $10.00 Gift Certificate to my digi store at A Cherry On Top!  Just post a link to your layout in the comment section by midnight CST, Friday, August 1st.  On Saturday, by random draw, I will give away a $10.00 gift certificate for every 10 entries.  Your layout can be digital, traditional, or hybrid!

Here is the sketch!

Have fun and I can’t wait to see what you come up with!

Some new layouts….

I messed up on the title here… and since I am one who can’t admit defeat… i improvised!  :)  I decided to just paint over the messed up title and make it work.  I think it turned out pretty cute, despite my mess up.   It doesn’t hurt that my daughter is GORGEOUS! Her beauty totally makes up for my messy-ness on this layout.   Alas, I have to face the facts…. A clean scrapper, I am not. 

Here is a close-up view:

I used Audrey Neal’s new paper line called, Mod Posy from Dream Street Papers.  These papers should be hitting the store shelves very soon!  I JUST love this paper!  So fun to work with!  

Here is a layout I did for a sketch challenge over at Triple the Sketch… very fun challenge and loved how this photo and layout turned out.  My girls have the cutest little toes! LOL!  Ericka is just mortified by this layout… she hates her Toes.  Silly girl!  Pffftttt— like what-ever!

The papers and stickers are from Sassafrass Sunshine and Lollipop collection, Thickers Alphabet stickers, and my new beloved Treading Water punch from Fiskars. 

And last but not least…
This is a layout of my girls.   I used the Cosmo Cricket line… Be happy.  Love this funky, cool line!  Very fun to use!

 

Drum roll please….. and the winner of the complete new Fun & Games Collection is…..

It has been awhile, but I finally found my digital muse again! Whoo-hooo! It comes and goes in spurts and switches interchangebly with my art muse and scrapbooking muse. I have just learned to go with the flow! Anyway… here is my newest page kit called, Good Fortune. Why is it called that you ask? Well, I was inspired by these fortune cookie strips I have been saving. Not to mention, that I feel very blessed and fortunate! So enough of the chatter… here is the kit:

You can find the kit exclusively at A Cherry On Top!  Plus, it is on sale for one week! The introductory sale price is only $5.49!

Also, be sure and check out the Dream Street blog, because several other designers are giving away their collections as well!

My scrap/art space is where I feel free to create and dream.   This is where I feel most uninhibited— most carefree.  It is my haven and personal sanctuary.

Where do you feel the most comfortable, relaxed, happy, energized, and free to be YOU?  I challenge you to scrap about YOUR space!  It doesnt have to be a scrapbook room. It doesn’t have to be any room, for that matter!  It can be a park bench, your back yard, the beach, or any SPACE in the world that you consider to be your personal safe haven.

Materials Used: GCD Studios Papers,Thickers Alphabet, and Chipboard accents by Scrapworks- Magpie Collection, and Mod transparency by Hambly, sewing machine.

 I just finished a 6×6 clear album from Scrapworks featuring my adorable son, Tristan.  ( I am a little biased, but he is one awesome little dude!)  This was my first time to use one of the transparent albums and I must say that I am hooked!  This was so much fun to make and I absolutely love the depth created by the all the layers!  My husband, who only sees ”crap” in scrap thought this album was cool.  LOL!  Okay… he is not that bad, but it sounded pretty witty, uhh?  :)   Anyway… I am just saying that alot of people seem to be intimidated by these clear albums and I say JUST DO IT!  You will love it!  So what if a little adhesive shows?  Get wild and crazy and throw caution to the wind!    

Here are the materials and links to purchase the items I used for my album:
Materials used: Crate Paper - Static Collection Papers, Die Cuts, Rub-Ons and Brads; Basic Grey Wholy Cow Rub-ons & Buttons, Thickers Alphabets, Hambly Overlay Mod Brown and Urban Chic White : Scrapworks Acrylic Album 6×6 -Tabbed square
