Card Sketch #51

Kelly has an awesome card sketch up at Sketch N Scrap today!  I knew when I saw this sketch I would have to play along!  Here is the sketch:

 

And here is my take on the sketch: 

Supplies Used: Cardstock: Stampin Up; Patterned Paper: Pebbles, Inc; Project

Life type card: Pebbles Inc; Bling: Queen & Co; brad: Pebbles, Inc.

 

These papers and PL card have been in my stash for years, I recently had moved them to the top of my "use it or lose it stash" that I am trying to use up before purging at the end of this year!  So glad to have some more gone out of that drawer!  In January I started a drawer in my hall closet that I filled with things I hadn't used in years and really should have donated but I found myself unwilling to part with them as I still liked them.  So I placed them in a drawer and told myself next January everything still in this drawer HAS to be donated because obviously I haven't touched it all year I must not need or like it!  So far I have used up A LOT out of this drawer!!!  I don't think I will be giving hardly any of it away, the drawer that was so full I could barely close it, is now 1/2 full!  I will be doing this again each year to motivate myself to use things up, it's hard to use things when you have to dig to find them!   I hope you will find some time to play along with us this month, you still have until June 30th at 7 pm CST to link up with any of our sketches for a chance to win an awesome set of double sided journaling cards from We R Memory Keepers!  You can find out all the details on the Sketch N Scrap blog!



Sketch N Scrap #82

 Today we are kicking off June with a new sketch at Sketch N Scrap!
 Here is the sketch by me:

 

Here is my layout inspired by the sketch:



Supplies Used: Cardstock: Stampin Up; Patterned Paper: My Mind's Eye, Simple Stories,

Queen & Co; journaling card: Echo Park; stickers: Simple stories; chipboard bike: Simple Stories;

punch: Martha Stewart; pearls: Kaiser Crafts; alphabet: Jillibean Soup, ink: Stampin Up

 

I just love these pictures taken last year on a walk to our neighborhood park to feed the ducks!  The kids had so much fun riding bikes & scooters, swinging, feeding the ducks and just hanging out with each other!  Hopefully we will have some of those fun times this Spring before it gets to hot, it has been so rainy we haven't had much outside time this year!  I hope you will play along with us at Sketch N Scrap this month, you have until June 30th to link up your layouts based on this sketch!  And don't forget my last Birthday Bash challenge is still open until June 15th, for more information visit this POST!!!

Last birthday bash challenge!

Wow, didn't May just fly by?  It is hard for me to believe there is only one week of school left and June starts tomorrow!!!  I am up on the Sketch N Scrap blog today for our final third birthday bash challenge!  I wish we could keep celebrating all year long instead of all month long because this has been an awesome month!  Here is my challenge layout:



Supplies Used: Patterned Paper: October Afternoon, Scenic Route; cardstock: Stampin Up;

tags: Elle's Studio, October afternoon; bakers twine: American Crafts; Alphabets: October Afternoon;

enamel dots: My Mind's Eye; stickers: October Afternoon; ink: Memento; date stamp: Heidi Swapp;
based on a sketch by my friend Natalia.

 

Now for my challenge (should you choose to accept it!).  To mark Sketch N Scrap's third birthday I am making this a THREE challenges in one challenge!!  For this challenge you must use : THREE TAGS, THREE different alphabets, AND THREE photos!!!  And what is a challenge without a prize?  I will randomly draw one winner out of all submitted entries that follow the challenge guidelines to receive a pack of enamel dots as shown below

But remember you can't win if you don't play! Just follow these simple rules:

1) Create a LAYOUT based on the recipe above
2) Your card must include THREE alphabets, THREE photos & THREE tags
3) Your layout must be new as of today (no backlinking)
4) You may link up with other sites but you may not enter your card in other Sketch N Scrap challenges (including DT's birthday bash challenges- no double dipping!)

5) Due to high shipping costs and the length of time to receive international packages only those with US addresses are eligible (but you can still link up we would love to see what you create!)

6) Link up in the sidebar by June 15th at midnight CST

I hope you will find time to play along, I can't wait to see what you create!!
