Some projects for challenges....

Challenges I've been playing along with...
Posting here so I can link to those challenges...

First a couple for My Scraps and More - Sketch Blog

Sketch #45

The background is modeling paste mixed with paint through a mask for the bricks.

Then the "gross gum" is melted crayons...some just dripped by themselves and some dripped over a pile of modeling paste to simulate the "gum".... GROSS!! But...a memory, so I guess it's scrap worthy!

and..Sketch #46

And for Sketch n Scrap, I did this card sketch:

Frosted Designs....3x3 challenge (and a COUPON).

So....New Store....Over at FROSTED DESIGNS!!! I'm thrilled to still be on their DT...and to be able to share the first challenge using products from the new store...Here is mostly what the post over at Frosted looks like...plus some close ups of mine..

I'm thrilled to be issuing your first challenge using products from the Frosted Designs store!!

I wanted to allow for lots of creative freedom, so I want you to do a 3 x 3 challenge....

Pick ANY 3 of these items and use them at least 3 times....

Arrows
Hearts
Stars
Shape: Circles, Squares, Hexagons, Chevrons...etc

Let's also try to use those items as their own elements....meaning that arrows or polka dots on your patterned paper don't count as arrows or circles.

I love the My Mind's Eye Cut and Paste line and used it here for my sample layout. I chose a small photo and used it with the large SMILE journal card and layered some of the other papers.

Products from the Frosted Designs Store:
My Mind's Eye Cut & Paste Paper - Smile Shine

My Mind's Eye Cut & Paste Paper - Carefree Mellow

My Mind's Eye Cut & Paste Paper - Carefree Relaxed

My Mind's Eye Smile Journal Card

UmWow Studios Arrow Confetti

UmWow Studios Heart Confetti

Dylusions Ink Spray - White Linen
Bella Blvd Arrow Stickers - Gulf

Here are a few close ups:

I loved playing with the UmWow Chipboard...so fun!! And the Ranger Dylusions Ink...YUMMY!!!

The 3 Boys & some published layouts

This week at FROSTED DESIGNS our challenge is "numbers"...so I made this layout of Joseph and his 2 cousins in Ohio.

Also...Frosted Designs has big news...they are opening a store and kit club...this week. So be sure to go to their blog and get signed up for the newsletter....here

And here are some layouts that were published in the March & April issues of Scrapbook News & Review Magazine... I'm supposed to hold them 30 days before I post them, but time gets away from me and I don't remember to come back and post them. But I want grandma/grandpa to be able to see them, so here they are:
