Just a couple of quick cards I made to showcase the use of stickles for the SnS blog! The Peaceful Wishes card has glittered branches. It's so pretty in real life- too bad it doesn't show up so well in the picture. Anyway, I'm off to my annual christmas retreat tomorrow, so I hope to have a lot of crafty stuff to show you after the weekend!!!

Just wanted to share a couple of quick pictures of a shell scarf I just finished crocheting. I love crochet - it goes soooo fast. The scarf is so nice and warm. I actually just started another one - but am doing the skinny version. It's only got a couple of shells. I might make it a little longer too!! I'll be sure to share once I'm done!!! :)

Check it out.....a FREE class by Jessica Sprague!! Sign ups start November 2nd!! :) See you there!! :)

November Projects....

Here are a couple more goodies that I worked on using the November Ribbon kit at Savvy n Sassy. I just loved this ribbon kit...it went with a LOT of different papers. The layout was for my November Challenge, which is to scraplift your buddy and you can find the challenge in the forum under "Wrap It Up" if you want to come and play. The little card was made to showcase buttons, which is the Spotlight Special at Savvy n Sassy ...on until November 6th!! Grab them and one of the ribbon kits - you won't be disappointed!! :)

Here's this week's sketch! :) Well, today I didn't get anything done with the crop stuff, but I'm hoping to catch up during the week!!! The challenges were soooo great this time. Lots of fun stuff to do and we have until November 1st to catch up on everything!! YAHOOO!!! Hope to get lots of cards done this week too as I have lots of new images to play with thanks to my good friend Peggy who was kind enough to share with me!!

Can't wait to get back to the scrap table!! :)

LP - Dare To Be Inspired - Day Two!!

Well, we've been going like mad dogs all day today!! Lots of fun challenges, games and make and takes!! This DT really rocks - not that the other DT's didn't....but this one is fabulous at coming up with NEW and exciting challenges that keep people interested!!! It's awesome!!! :) Anyway, here's a few things that I got done today. We have a full week to finish up all the projects, so there's still time to join us if you want to play!! :)

Challenge - Layout Bingo - for this challenge we had to look at a bingo card and pick 4 elements in a line to complete our layout, card, etc. I picked the fourth row down (and across) and had to include stickles, a halloween word, sewing (real or fake) and ribbon or trim of some sort. NO problem!! Here's my take - which also suffices for one of my DT items for the Savvy N Sassy November Ribbon Kit:

The next challenge was an Interview Challenge. We had to interview somebody and then complete a layout. I chose to interview Brayden right after hockey this morning. I think it will be fun to look back at this layout a few years from now.

The next challenge was a scraplift challenge. Now this is quite a common challenge in online crops but the twist was that you had to scraplift someone that had the same first initial as you!!

Here's my layout....it was fully cased from a layout by Laura-Lee.

From there I moved onto a FRIENDLY challenge - which required us to use a few specific items on our layouts and scrap about friends. For this one - we had to use the color red, some brads or eyelets, some bling and some ribbon or trim. This was a picture that was taken at our Annual Salmon Arm retreat and the theme this year was western with the title being "BUDS & SPUDS" There were tons of fun prizes and contests and we had such a blast - This is the fourth year in a row and hopefully we're still doing this for many years to come! :) What a HOOT!!!

Then I moved on to a little make and take. This one used one 12x12 sheet of paper to make the cute little mini album!! It went quite quickly actually - I was surprised. I inked and did some stitching on this one!! :)

I also had a chance to do up a few more items, but they will have to wait until the end of the month as they are project specific for my DT responsibilities!! :)

Thanks for stopping by - I hope you found something to inspire you!! :)

Dare to Be Inspired!!

Well, that's the name of the game this weekend over at LP!! Yep, it's ON!!! C'mon over and join the fun!! The DT is putting on a GREAT show (as usual) and the layouts and "spirits" are flying!!

Here's a couple layouts I've done so far. The first was an early bird sketch challenge.

The second layout was for a Color Challenge and the challenge was to use Fall Colors. I just love this Gypsy Line from Bo Bunny and new it would work perfectly. The layout was inspired by J. Sandvoss. I just love what she did with this line!! :) Anyway, if you have some time - stop by and have some fun!! We'll be going all weekend!! :)
