Redone Scrappy School Projects

I had some things that I wanted to "redo" for school, so I made sure I took pics to share with you here on my blog! :)

The first thing I did was cover plain composition notebooks with patterned paper. I used Cosmo Cricket's DeLovely mini stack on the left one and Echo Park's Splash mini stack for the right one.

Welcome to the Sketch Blog Hop!

Woo hoo! Welcome to my stop on the blog hop! If you haven't come here from Shanon's blog, then go back to Amanda's blog and start hoppin' from there.

Ok- now that we've gotten that part out of the way, I get to show you my layout I made from Amanda's awesome sketch! My little sister, Laura, and I love to dress up, and we hadn't done it for a while so we did it and had a little mini photo shoot. You can totally tell Laura is more photogenic than me! Haha! (Well, I think she is anyway...) Laura's the one with the pink flowers.

For this layout, I just got some papers that I thought coordinated together, and used them! I rarely do that, so I'm very proud of myself for stretching my creativity and NOT being OCD about all the papers matching "exact!" :D Enjoy my page--

Supplies: Patterned Paper: American Crafts, Teresa Collins, Cosmo Cricket, My Mind's Eye; Mist: Tattered Angels; Letter Stickers: BoBunny; Pen: American Crafts; Other: pom pom trim, flowers, brad

And of course, this wouldn't be complete without a giveaway! I have a special CK magazine, 2 sets of AWESOME American Crafts Thickers (one chipboard, the other foam) and then a Cosmo Cricket Blackboard album. All you have to do is leave a comment and for an extra entry, become a follower of my blog! If you are already a follower, leave a comment telling me that too! :) I will draw a winner on Sunday morning August 21, 2011 and post the winner here.

And now you need to head on to Mandi's blog! I'm sure she has some awesomeness ready to show you!



My Mind's Eye August Sketch Challenges

I've always wanted to participate in My Mind's Eye Sketch Challenges, but just haven't ever gotten the chance to do it! Well, the sketches were so awesome this time that I jsut HAD to! (Plus I got some new Stella & Rose paper that I am loving using...) The projects have to be 80% MME products, and I HOPE I used that much on this first layout! The stuff that isn't MME is the buttons and mist. (basically the embellishments) I don't have any My Mind's Eye embellies so I just had to use something else. (how sad- Jenni Bowlin and Tim Holtz buttons- haha!)


Supplies: Patterned Paper: MME; Chipboard Letters: MME; Buttons: Basic Grey, Tim Holtz, Jenni Bowlin; Other: pom pom trim; Mist: Tim Holtz

And here's my card made with Stella & Rose paper also! Buttons are various ones from my stash. I am really loving my new Lush felt chipboard letters! They're AMAZING! (and they stick so well, too!) 

Supplies: Patterned Paper: MME; Chipboard Letters: MME; Punch: Fiskars; Baker's Twine: Etsy

Sketchy Thursdays Layout 8.4.11

Hello again! I told you that I'd be sharing another project with the beautiful Stella & Rose line from My Mind's Eye and here it is! I used this week's Sketchy Thursdays sketch to make my page. I have just gotten this paper probably about a month ago so I have kinda been saving it for something special! And now since I have gotten over my "fear" of messing it up, I'm using it! After all, I mean, it's just PAPER! I can always get more... Have a great weekend, everyone!!
Supplies: Patterned Paper: Cosmo Cricket (ledger), My Mind's Eye; Letter Stickers: American Crafts; Brads: American Crafts; Notebook Edge: BoBunny; Spray Ink: Smooch; Flower: Prima; Other: date chipboard piece, pom-pom trim

Oh- another thing... I usually don't put quotes on my pages. I usually like to write out my journaling. But on this particular page, I didn't have anything to really "say," so I just used my favorite quote I have about friends. And I really like it! Something that's out of my comfort zone, but slowly getting INTO my comfort zone. :P
