Lessology wall art challenge

Hi everyone! Today I'd like to share my welcome sign that I made for the Lessology wall art challenge. For this challenge I decided to do a sign that will hang near our front door. I started with a blank canvas, then I added a doilie, tags, old papers, paint, inks, moss, tape, button, and then a piece of cardboard, from a pkg. that I recieved in the mail, for my recyle item. To see some really interesting pieces that the DT put together you can take a peek here.

 

As always, thank you for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

Hugs!

For this challenge you feature yourself, using the wonderful sketch by Anne, in costume, or a costume that you have made or inspired, incorporate the color purple somewhere in the layout, and place a surprise somewhere in the layout. If you do not celebrate Hallowe'en where you are - scrap about dress-up - either for a formal affair, or for play!!
For my lo, I did it on my dd's wearing witch outfits that I made, got lots of pretty purple, which you can see, and for my surprise....when you open the haunted house door there is a "cracker Jack" surprise inside!

Doggy bag challenge

Hi everyone! Today I'd like to share some Christmas tags that I made for the Lessology challenge site doggy bag challenge. For this challenge, I used paper bags and of course recycled stuff to come up with tags that I'll use this Christmas!
The tag with the little boy has a lollypop wrapper and part of a box on it. The tag with the tree and deer on it has a dry cleaner tag and part of a box on it, and the tree is an old book page which I inked. The santa tag, has a piece of cloth that was from an old shirt that my daughter had and a piece from and old filing folder.

Sassy Lil Sketches send off!

Hi everyone! Today I sadly share my last  DT lo for SLS . Yes, Cheryl and Katie have decided to close down the site. Since I'm on the switch it up team, the team that takes the sketch and switches it up any way that I would like to give the reader extra ideas and inspiration for the main sketch,  I have taken the sketch and  turned it on its side, replaced the circles with stars & repositioned them, brought the title upward and moved the journaling under the photo.
If you would like to participate in the sketch challenges going on, Cheryl and Katie have done a 'send off', posting several sketches and lo's to play with. You have until midnight October 23rd and then the winners will be announced on the 24th. For each sketch, the winners will receive a Sassy Lil' Sketch Ebook which is loaded with sketches!

As always, thank you for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

Hugs!

Spinning round and round!

Hi everyone! Today I'd like to share a lo, of my dd, that I did using the cardstock from the Sept. Pixie Dust Paperie ~ Tecolote kit. Normally I stay clear of bright papers when I scrap...they really aren't my style, but when I opened up this kit and saw all the gorgeous stuff in it, I was so thrilled that I thought I'd use this paper for something upbeat and fun. I took out my paints, drew my circles, added some sewing to it, a few ink splats, a fun pic of my dd, one of the wonderful brads in the kit and some of the sweet paper that was wrapped around the ribbon so nicely by Kirsty...yup, I like to use everything!

I am so delighted to say that the new kit has been revealed and it looks GORGEOUS! Yup, more cardstock along with pp's and embellies that are simply beautiful...I need this kit too!

Just look at this!

Isn't it gorgeous!

And right now Pixie Dust is celebrating their one year anniversary with loads of deals and inspiration for the entire month.

Here's a peak at one of the kit giveaways

Another Freaking Scrappy Challenge!

Hi everyone! The latest challenge is up at  AFSC ! This challenge is a prompt challenge about your school days. Since I don't have a lot of pics of me as a child, I opted to do a page on our youngest daughter. To play along, in this fun challenge, simply - scrap your school days – your own school days incorporating three of: a photo of you back in the day, or a momento from those years , perhaps: a song title, lyrics or album cover from that era, your favourite school subject, or a page from one of your texts, diaries or notebooks , a scan or your yearbook – whatever is representative of your school days. Maybe you could include a memory of those days in your blog posting. We'd prefer if you scrap your own school days - as we like to encourage our followers to scrap about themselves to leave a legacy for their family - but you can scrap your children's school days if you prefer.



(The lovely chippee leaf swirl is from Imaginarium Designs...I just love their stuff)

Now for the fun prizes!

Every month someone has a chance to win something scrappy and someone gets to win a guest designer spot for the next month....that someone could be you!!!!

I can't wait to see what you come up with!
