Flowers for Grandma 6th Birthday Bash - Guest Designer Spot

Have you ever wanted to be on a Design Team?

Have you ever thought about trying out?

At Sketch-N-Scrap we have Guest Designers! This is a perfect way to try out the Design Team life and see if it is all you thought it would be. We would love to have you enter into the 6th Birthday Bash Crop Designer Challenge. 

I decided to scrapbook these photos from last summer of my oldest granddaughter picked me some flowers. I must say they are the prettiest little flowers I have ever seen, but I might be biased

I used some Bella Blvd paper called Campout. I have been bashing this line for a few months and only have a little bit left. I was happy when I had enough letters to spell out flowers. I fussy cut some paper to make the flower embellishments. 

Here is the sketch to use:

Playground fun SNS # 150

Last year I told my daughter about this fun park that I had forgotten about as it is in a tucked away area in our town. We made arrangements to meet there and we had a blast, the kids played on the swings, the slide, the water fountain. There were so many giggles and then we explored a little around the outside of the park where they had bag boards, grills, and a big giant boulder. The kids loved it they felt like they were so high up and they just sat an this big rock forever just being silly. Here are a few of my favorite photos from the boulder fun.

I used up some more of my Bella Blvd paper for this page. I cant wait to scrapbook the other photos I took on this day. I already put them into my yearly Pocket Page album but I think I do want to scrapbook some of the ones when they were playing in the water too.

Isn't' this April 1st sketch so adorable? You can find it over on the Sketch N Scrap blog Sketch #150.

I have been trying to build up my birthday card stash for a while now because as you may remember I am trying to send out cards this year to my loved ones. This one is for my youngest granddaughters 1st birthday which isn't until October! I am way ahead here but this sketch just came together nicely paired with this fun CTMH Stamp of the Month.

I used some cute paper from Bella Blvd that I have had for quite a while...see more stash bashing.

I also have been using my newest find the tiny little jewels that seem to be all over.

The inside is this adorable little hippo...I just couldn't resist!

Here is the April 5th card sketch that I used. To play along head over to the Sketch N Scrap blog.

March Lucky Charms Challenge #1

I hope you have been able to join in our fun over on Facebook for the March Lucky Charms Crop... this is 1st sketch challenge I hope you can play along.

A while back I bought a grab bag full of Bella Blvd papers and embellishments. I loved 99% of it.  These papers were just a little meh to me but when I saw this sketch and these photos I knew they would be perfect proving again and again that you just never know how something is going to suddenly come together of of the darkest corners of your stash. 

My little grandson loves the snapchat filters. He is hilarious and will grab his head trying to figure out how he suddenly has a hat on or ears or whatever the case may be. This sketch was perfect for a little hidden journaling.

I had bought these little gens a few months ago because well they are so fun and I thought they would be perfect for birthday shaker cards. When I saw  the colors in this paper I knew it would be a perfect combo and I was right. I love how tiny they are giving me the ability to bling up my layout without a ton of added bulk.

I hope you can play along at our Lucky Charms Crop this month here is the first challenge Sketch #101

Boo

My little Maizie was a panda last year for Halloween. We went a little late to get a costume...cough cough...like always and they were so pricy. As we were walking around we saw some jammies with hoods one was a panda so we just ran with that. It was a win win really. 

I did this layout for Sketch N Scrap #139 I have the honor of being a guest designer over there this month. It has been a blast! SNS was my first DT gig when they first started up back in 2012! 

I used up some paper from Bella Blvd that I have in my stash. 

I hope you can join us over there the October prize is soooo cute! Head on over and check it out you have until October 31st at 9:55 pm CST to play along.

Scrapbooking...

Whats that? I have dove head first into the world of vinyl and boy is that fun! I realized that I have been neglecting my love of paper-crafts. I thought it would be fun if I started doing challenges again so that I am in my studio and using my supplies.

One of my favorite places to find challenges is over at Sketch N Scrap, they have adorable card and layout sketches each month to play along with and they even offer fun prizes!!!

Layouts are the 1st and 15th and Cards are the 5th and the 20th.

Here is the October 1st Sketch #138

I used some fun Bella Blvd paper that I had, a sticker sheet, and an ephemera pack that goes along with it. It was perfect for my little panda's Halloween photos from last year. Look at me scrapbooking a holiday before it comes around again. Whoo-hoo.

Mark your calendars for world cardmaking day coming up this weekend!!!
