March Digital Challenges

Simply Sketchy With Laura

For this page I used the Roman Kit for the Plenty of Personality Super kit by Bella Gypsy.  

The font used is LD Chicken Scratch.  

The template of course came from Laura with simply.scraps.

Element Challenge

For this challenge we needed to use/have curled/torn paper.  

I found a template by Jen Caputo, that did it for me.  

I used the Declan kit from the Plenty of Personality kit by Bella Gypsy.  

The fonts used are LD Architect and LD Dabble.

P.S. Do you see the alligator?

All Stacked Up with Rachel

For this challenge we are given a stacked template.  

Go here to find them available for purchase.  

I used the Beary Sweet Boy kit by Connie Prince for this page.  

The font used is LD Hand.

I also did a page for the numbers challenge, but I did not care for it, so I did not save it.  

You can see it here.

Gotta Grab It at Gotta Pixel

Here is a page I made with the Gotta Grab It "Delightful" kit by Shawnery Mathis available here.

My Grandpa and Grandma with their great-grandchildren Xander and Evie!  October 2007

Handsome, Smart and Artistic Too!

That's right folks, my hubby has it all.  

For years he has told me that he wasn't artistic at all.  I beg to differ.  

Look at the picture he painted while playing with Xander. 

 Love you babe!

Scrapbooking Challenge #8

Scrapbook Challenge #8--Make it Sparkle

I'll admit it.  I love pretty things!  And I love incorporating pretty things onto my pages.  Sparkly, shiny rhinestones are just one of my favorite ways to add bling to my layouts.  I think there's room for something sparkly on almost any page.  For this challenge, add a bit of sparkle to your next page. 

I used papers from the  "Persuasion" line by Bo Bunny.  The letters are also from Bo Bunny.  I used rhinestones and brads w/ rhinestones, though they are a little hard to see in the picture.

This is really, really fun!

Hello my peeps!  Have you missed me?  I have been a little busy.  Read on to see why.

So back during Christmas of 2008, my Grandma Jan told my Daddy and Mommy to go out and buy me a swing set.  Well they (Daddy) hemmed and hawed and needless to say Christmas 2009 rolled around and I STILL did not have my very own swing set.  Well Mommy finally got Daddy to go to The Home Depot and we bought all the stuff for my very own swing set.  It only took my Daddy three weekends to put it together (darn rechargeable drill/screwdriver battery), but alas I have my very own swing set!  I also got a sandbox for Easter LAST YEAR that I finally got to play in as well.  Check out the pics

Here I am enjoying the sand box while Daddy is putting the swing set together.  

 

Notice the intense concentration.  

Mommy and Daddy were very adamant about me keeping the sand in the sandbox.

Here is Daddy working on the swing set.  He is wishing that we had a patio at this moment because our backyard is not very smooth and flat, and apparently that makes it difficult to build giant swing sets.

Another shot--please note the cloudy skies.  

Between the rain and the battery life this project was a doozy! 

Woot-woot!  It's done!!!!  Actually they finished it while I napped on Saturday, but it was dark when I got up, so I had to wait until Sunday to play.  This is my inaugural climb up onto the slide platform.

Testing out the slide!  Wheeeeeee!

Testing out the swings.  I'd say my Daddy did a great job.  Wouldn't you?

 

Wheee this is really, really fun!  

Thanks Grandma Jan for the swing set!

Thanks Daddy for building it for me!  I love it!

Well peeps that's it for now, it's a beautiful day and I need to go out to play!

My New Adventure!

I have been chosen along with several other very talented ladies to be part of the Creative Team (CT) for the super talented designer Shawnery Mathis.  Shawnery is a digital designer, and as many of you know I am in love with digital scrapbooking, so this is truly a dream come true.

You can find her kits here:   http://www.gottapixel.net/store/manufacturers.php?manufacturerid=110  and here    http://www.acherryontop.com/shop/digital/company/shawnery%27s_designs 

I am still learning the ropes of being on a CT, but I am having a blast doing so.
Here are my first two pages.

This page was created using Shawnery's newest kit "Doodled Basics".
  The font used is LD Dainty, and the template is by Bella Gypsy.

This page was created using the "Giggles" kit.
The font is LD Elementary and the template is by Connie Prince.

Scrapbooking Challenge #7

Just a couple of notes--I am a couple days late w/ this challenge, but I felt it important to leave up the post about Layla Grace.  I apparently posted the last challenge as #7, when it should have been #6.  So I corrected that one and this post is #7.  Thanks!

Scrapbooking Challenge #7--Design with White Cardstock

Think of it like this: a plain white background is the little black dress of scrapbook pages.  Always there when you need it, always simple and elegant.

The papers are from Bo Bunny--"Love Bandit" and the font is LD Going Nuts.
