PLEASE TAKE THE TIME to do an inventory of your home! A FIRE can destroy your life in a flash. I would HATE to have ANYONE go through what I am going through!!

Sketchy Thursday 1/20 Sketch

HOWDY ALL!

I played along with Sketchy Thursday this week!

Here is the sketch:
and here is my take (I will take a better pic in the morning when the sun wakes up!):
Journalling says: "Snow is a little Slippery!".

I used papers from Imaginisce Polar Expression and some white cardstock that was sprayed with Hoola Hoop Glimmer Mist and inked with Lime Pastel Cat's Eye Chalk. The snowflake bling I think came from the Imaginisce Cottage Christmas. The ribbon and journal spot is from my stash. Thanks for stopping by and taking a look!

Imaginisce Found Object Altered Project

HOWDY!

I decided to play along with Imaginisce January Challenge to Alter a found object. I found this kleenex box cover at the thrift shop a couple months ago, and knew I could make it look a lot PRETTIER for my scrappy room!

This is what it looked like when I bought it:

I decided it would be great to make a side for all 4 seasons, (sorry pics aren't very good, I will take more once the sun comes up tomorrow!) NICE N SUNNY!! GOT GOOD PICS! LOL!

Here is Spring, I used papers from For Peeps Sake, and the Chubby Chicky Stickers from Lucy Bird:
Here is Summer, I used papers and the glass stickers from Splash Dance:
Here is Fall, I used paper from The Apple Cider Collection, I LOVE all the fall things on this paper so I didn't use anything else except the title:
and Winter, I HATE Winter and the cold, but this is MY FAVE side of this project. I used papers and the Chipboard stickers from Polar Expressions Collections.
Here is a pic of the top, I used papers from For Peeps Sake collection, I cut 3/4 inch strips and did an accordian fold and glue several together and around my circle. The small flower is what I had left over and I just folded the strip into 1/3rds and twisted it to make a little flower. The leaves are free handed and I just did some pen work. The lace is from my stash. And of course, I used Modge Podge to glue it all down!

Cutters Creek Glimmer Mist Challenge

HOWDY ALL!

I PLAYED TODAY!! WOOHOO!!
I am using this one layout for 3 different Challenges:
1. Cutters Creek Glimmer Mist Challenge.
2. 52 Week Challenge on my Yahoo group Scrappin'-n-Chattin'.
3. Sketch Challenge on Scrappin'-n-Chattin'

I used this sketch:
Here is my layout (which I flipped):
Journalling reads: How hard can it be to get all 4 kids to smile and look at the camera? EXTREMELY!! LOL! As you can tell these are just SOME of the MANY we took to get the perfect one!

First of all, I sprayed my White cardstock with Peppermint Stick Glimmer Mist. Then I cut the bracket shape out of just regular paper and used it as a mask. I used a paint brush and Peppermint Stick to color in the shape. I sprayed my Jillibean Soup Corrugated Alphas also.
I used Jenny Bowlin Mini Christmas Bingo card and Journal spot. Flowers and buttons are from my stash.

Thanks for stopping by and taking a look!
