Challenge time - by Laurie

Good afternoon Ladies! I hope you are having a great Sunday! Here is a shocker, it is snowing again here in New England! Will it ever end???????
I decided to enter this page in a few challenges. I am trying to get better about the challenges, there are so many great ones out there.

This is the sketch over at http://getyoursketchon.blogspot.com/

This my take on it. I turned the sketch a bit to fit my pictures



Close up of the cuttlebugged frames.


Close up of the Tim Holtz Adage Tickets, Ideology collection. I also cuttlebugged this little guys, using the Divine Swirls folder




The other challenges I am entering these are as follows:
http://thepapervariety.blogspot.com/ - sew on the page. Faux stitching or real. I did both, I sewed the strips of paper and then faux stitch on the title.
http://scrapourstash.blogspot.com/ - use the word love, or a tool you love or someone you love. I love my two guys and actually used a love ticket.
http:/fantabulouscricut.blogspot.com - emboss on the page http://lindascreativity.blogspot.com/ - emboss on the page and use the cricut as well.
You will have to check out all these blogs, they have awesome challenges!!
What I used to make the page:
StampinUp! paper, the blue, Recollections Gemstone - the blue and green that are picture frames, Heritage Cart - Sons title - Cuttlebug folders - Heritage Collection (they have folders that match cricut cartridges, I love that), that was used from the frames, Divine Swirls for the ticket. And my Sew Easy Tool for the sewing.
