ANYTHING GOES WEEK - Day 6

Good Saturday morning! I hope everyone got to sleep in today. Well as much as Mom can sleep in. I did a few projects last night that I wanted to share. The first is layout for a challenge over at http://frosteddesigns.blogspot.com/2010/11/sketch-along-tuesdays-11-30-sketch.html It is a sketch design. I had this picture of my brothers and sisters and decided to play along.

I inked the edges of the paper with Quick Quotes chalk and a crafters paint brush, I wanted a thicker look. I also inked the rhinestones and the hearts and flowers. The rhinestones were clear and the stood out too much and the hearts and flowers where to bright so I muted them. Brothers and sisters are cut from the Heritage cart, Pg 33 & 34, I used my design studio to get the exact size I needed.

Here is a card I whipped up for my girlfriend. I used the Celebrate Flourishes for this pretty Happy Birthday. I love this cart, so many cute things on it.

ANYTHING GOES WEEK - Day 5

That is right it is day 5 and that only means one this it is Friday (doing the Friday dance). Friday is my favorite day of the week!! Woohoo!! Ok, this little 6x6 layout is done by Dawn. This is in retaliation to Kel's Team Edward. As you know I am not into this whole vampire thing, but this is amazing. Awesome job! Obviously Dawn is Team Jacob!

The paper is from Rusty Pickle (I am loving that paper). The die cuts are from Dawn's trusty Silhoutte and she embossed Wild and Be Mine. The bling is from her stash.

Here is a funny, funny "commercial" Dawn sent me. You have to go and check it out. I would LOVE to live in this wearhouse (just sayin').

ANYTHIN GOES, Day 4

Day 4..thank goodness, cuz that must mean it's Thursday!! lol. Anyway, on the lo. Here is same daughter, same house...no poker face.. LOL. I went to go take a pic of this and I look and the zero was missing, so don't mind my lame yellow polka dot zero, I'm not awake yet.. LOL. This was done on glitter paper...I forget cart used for the 2010.. I actually ripped the photos on this. I had seen it somewhere and thought it was a fun technique to use. Having great, easy photo software at home.. I wasn't worried if I messed up..just print another! I used a dollar paper stack from Target for the rest of the papers. I just had fun with this page and stepped outside the layout! Oh and I alcohol inked these brads I got from The Eyelet Outlet.. Honestly.. I'm shaking my head and laughing at that zero! LOL

ANYTHING GOES, Day 3

Here's a pic I just love of my daughter. It was poker night for the adults over at Laurie's but we let her fill in a few games.. it was fun. We told her to get herself a poker face..this was it.. LOL. The swirls are THICKERS and the brads are from EYELET OUTLET.. both have been inked with Tim Holtz!

ANYTHING GOES WEEK - Day 1

Good morning! I hope everyone had a fantastic holiday weekend! It went by way to fast. Kel and I decided to make it easy this week and have an anything goes week. If you have a favorite project or layout or card you want to share, please email Kel or I and we will post it.

By far this is my favorite layout. Dawn and I took an on-line class at Big Picture Scrapbooking and this was one of the projects. The class we took was about journaling. It made you take a different look at journaling. For example, if you do a layout of your child's birthday, dig deeper into what is going on in the picture. How did your child feel that day, where they so excited they could't sleep? What did your child do to prep for the day, how did they choose their friends they invited to the party. The questions are endless.

This is a layout I did of my son and husband they were going horseback riding. I could have journaled about the horseback riding. But I decided to journal a conversation that had the day before about what my son wanted to be when he grew up. It went like this:
"Dad"
"Yes Son"
"Do you know what I want to be when I grow up"
"No"
"Well I want to be a vet, comedian or work at Sea World."
"Really a comedian, why a comedian?"
"Because my friends at school think I am funny."
"What would you do a Sea World?"
"I would take care of the sick animals"
"Dad"
"Yes"
"I want to be like you when I grow up"

I thought this picture is perfect for this conversation. Make it a great day!!
