Back to Scrapping a Bit!

I haven't been able to scrap in a while... well, since National Scrapbook Day, and I'm having withdraws! We had a yard sale this morning, so the rest of the day has been basically FREE to scrapbook! Woo hoo!

I have completed several different projects today, and one of them is this card for the Paper Bakery Kits Sketch Challenge. Here's the sketch. I loved Amanda Johnson's take on the sketch (in the next post on the blog), so I basically lifted her idea. I loved the tags "connected" with the circle. This was a fairly quick card, so that makes me like it even more. ;P I always love it when I can create a card in a reasonable amount of time and it still looke good.

I played with some Echo Park "This & That: Graceful" collection. Love. It. So girly.
I don't like *too* girly, but I find this collection really "easy" to use!

A Few Scrap Space Photos

Howdy! I am at school right now on my brother's laptop. :) They have wi-fi, so I brought the laptop to catch up on some posting on ClubCK. I found these photos on my computer... and I just have to show them! The focus on my new Canon Rebel T1i is AMAZING! I love my camera! Check out these photos!

I just love my camera! (Have I told you that before??) :)

Frosted Designs Winner!

Did you enter in my NSD challenge over at Frosted Designs?? Well, the winner of my paper strips challenge is....

Angela A!

Angela, you can email me at limegreen(dot)flower(at)juno(dot)com or convo me at ClubCK. Whichever you want. :)

Congrats!! Thanks to all that played along!

It's Tuesday! That means...

It's time for a card sketch challenge over at Frosted Designs!

The sketch this go-around is so awesome! I knew when I looked at it the first time that I wanted to stitch the blocks of paper. Makes it looks so quilt-ish! I used Crate Paper's "Random" collection for this card. Everything is from that line, with the exception of rhinestones and card base of course. I am in love with Crate Paper. I just bought the "Pretty Party" collection this weekend at the scrapbook retreat! I cannot wait to use it-- Eeeek! 

Play along here! I would love to see some awesome cardmakers participate! :)

How was your NSD?

I had an awesome weekend at my scrapbook retreat! After I got home this afternoon, then I did another layout with this Pretty Little Studio sketch. I normally would NEVER be this "random" with my page but I thought it might be fun to be a little "messy" with my style. What do you think of it? I used some Jillibean Soup "Sweet & Sour" scraps that I have... I lovvvve this line! I bought a LOT of new stuff at the retreat this weekend... the most I have ever spent at one time on scrappy stuff. I didn't know how much I spent till the end of the retreat, and boy-- it sure grows! LOL I better go on another freeze. :)

Mother's Day Blog Hop!

Hi, and welcome to my stop on the Mother's Day Blog Hop this weekend! :) Today I will show you a card that I made for my awesome mom.

If you didn't arrive from Robyn's blog, then go back to Amanda's blog and start the hop from there.

First of all, I am having so much fun with my new Canon Rebel T1i! :) It takes faaaaabulous photo and I am so proud of the pictures I have taken. I just had to include a close-up photo on this post.

Sometimes it's kinda hard for me to know where to start a card. This time, I started with some layering flowers I received from a mystery box swap that I received this week. I really didn't know what I was going to do with a little baggie of small random flowers, so I challenged myself to use them and make them pretty! All I did was make a background with them by just glueing them on a piece of cardstock. I then spritzed them with Perfect Pearls Silver mist and added a few rhinestones to dress up the card.

This is not at all how I planned for this card to turn out, but hey-- I'm kinda lovin' when my projects take of in their own direction!


*And just a disclaimer-- I resized these photos so if they look a bit blocky... it's not my camera! LOL*

Now head on to Cassie's blog and see what Mother's Day project she has going on! :)
