Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Welcome to Thursday.... and us scrappers don't take days off for the holidays right...??

So today at SKETCHES IN THYME we have this really cool 2 page sketch.
(we have switched the 3rd Thursday of the month from "open" sketches to our own 2 pagers...YEA!!)

And here is my layout of when we went to the Patriot's Day celebration (for 9-11)

at Paseo Hills park on 9/10/11

And a few more to share:

MEMORABLE SEASONS  DT projects...

First...we are doing Christmas Crafts each week...each week a DT member posts a xmas craft they made.  So I created a xmas card holder so I have somewhere to finally store and display my cards...

Julie...look at the left pocket...wink!!

Also this layout from our sketch challenge using my Nov DT kit that was Prima North Country:

Don't eat too much today, ok?!!!

Playing Catch up!!

Ok...so I really messed this up...  Over at SKETCHES IN THYME, I'm on the DT rotation that posted LAST week (and next week)... since we do every other week..  but I was an "over achiever" and did a layout for my "off" week...and it posted yesterday on the blog... but I didn't post it HERE on my blog...cuz I got the weeks mixed up and didn't check my "chart" well enough... DUH!!!   So here it is....

Ok..so on to TODAY's business....  FROSTED DESIGNS Fabulous Friday challenge.... this week is....
DIE CUTS!!!!  So, I wasn't sure if I should use a "die cut paper" or "an actual die cut"... I don't have a die cut machine...  so, I used both..  The large scallop paper is Die-Cut (it's actually a calender and i turned it upside down and covered up the "months")  and the Title "Too Cute" is a die cut that I've had in my stash...FOR EVAH!!!

So on to some items for my DT at MEMORABLE SEASONS ...

I issued a challenge to use the word "CRAZY" in your title or journaling..

Here is my layout using my Nov DT kit featuring Prima North Country...

And... Sally issued a recipe challenge...

2 photos, 3 leaves, stitching, scallop border & a banner.

I used a sketch from Sketch Inspiration and this is what I made:

And..my absolute favorite from this post is this one...

Audrey issued a challenge to use this Ad as inspiration:

I LOVED the squares and frames...so i took some chipboard that was "checkered" and 2 frames and misted onto this Kraft background.  Then I re-used the frames in a different position and played with a few embellies and got this result:

Thanks for visiting me today!!





Climb to the Top & My Little Pony

Today at SKETCHES IN THYME we have this fun sketch...

And my DT layout... I flipped the photos and pp, but left the title up the left side.

This is a friend of Joseph's at his 8th B-day party (Joseph's b-day)

And a layout for MEMORABLE SEASONS to highlight "details"

My details are the cowgirl (fabric stitched on), the Rhinestones & the title ... the title because I'd never have thought of it... but I asked the 2 girls (twins) what the title should be and it was what they came up with!

These layouts are all for friends... btw..the boy in the first layout and the girls in the second are siblings...so both of these layouts are gifts for our family friends.!!

Some fun layouts to share:

First a couple for MEMORABLE SEASONS..DT layouts:


Friends of ours...last name is Jewell...  I gave this to them...she framed it and is giving it to Grandma (her mom) for xmas!!

And speaking of grandmas.... 2009 both g-mas were here at the same time

and a "use strips of paper" challenge:

and...for SCRAP OUR STASH... a recipe challenge:

These pictures were taken at my son's b-day party...the boy in the left photo is his friend and school-mate. We've come to know the family pretty well, so it was fun to get these pics of them. I'll be giving them this layout as a gift.

Recipe:

1 Solid - Black Cardstock

2 Patterned Papers - Black print is Pink Paislee, strip is Sassafras

3 Photos

4 Word Title - A Family Fun Climb

Today is Fabulous Friday Challenge day over at Frosted Designs .. and our topic this week is FAMILY...

Here's my DT layout:

And at MEMORABLE SEASONS our DT kits will now be used for challenges throughout the month (instead of all revealed on the 1st of the month)....

So I had the first challenge this week...and it is to ALTER YOUR ABC's...

Here is a layout I did that had glittery silver alphas..and I inked them in blue...

Also used all the "dots" on the Alpha sheet to decorate the raining circles...

Thanks!!
