(Heart) Horses (Practical Scrappers DT - Sketch)

This weekends sketch at Practical Scrappers is by Lucy and it's totally awesome. 
Also I've been lurking at a site I recently found called Corrosive Challenges and this week's theme is LOVE and since this fits perfectly, I'm sharing it over there as well.
Here's the sketch and go over to the blog and see what the DT did.  Below the sketch is my layout:

2009 Canvas (Frosted Designs DT)

This week at Frosted Designs the challenge is EMBOSSING:
So I decided to try embossing (wet) on a canvas.  The swirly at the top left, the 2009 date, the clock in the center and the bottom border were all embossed in black.  Then I used Stickles in Aqua and Red to highlight the embossing.   The alphas are MM stickers and the other items not mentioned above are rub-ons.  TFL...
and get over to Frosted Designs & enter the challenge!!

Circle of Love (Sketchy Thursday 1.21 challenge)

This week at Sketchy Thursdays the sketch is really cool:

Here is my layout...it's an older photo, but I was flipping through some old photos and this one made me smile.    Papers are all Basic Grey (different lines), alphas & brads are also BG and the rubons are Crate.  TFL!

Kinder 1st Day (Creative Scrappers #85)

This is the second layout I did with this sketch from Creative Scrappers using sketch #85:
(actually this is the first and the second one is posted below or on the side bar called You Have My Eyes)

You have My Eyes (Practical Scrappers DT - 2+ pp challenge)

This week's challenge at Practical Scrappers is to use 2 or more Patterned Papers. 

I LOVE the Jillibean Soup papers... (these are some of the "old" lines...gorgeous new stuff coming out at CHA this week)...   So here is a layout I did using some of those papers.  I love how this photo of Joseph's face (specifically his eyes) looks EXACTLY like mine.  So, it was a fun thing for me to document for him.  Everything is Jillibean Soup except the buttons & rhinestones (in the buttons) and the alphas.    I also used a sketch from Creative Scrappers (sketch #85).

My Boys (Practical Scrappers DT - Sketch)

This weekends sketch at Practical Scrappers is by the awesome Ann-Katrin:

And here's my layout: 

Some fringey trim from the local fabric store, some different tape products and lots of rubons!  TFL

I (heart) U - (Frosted Designs DT - Chipboard)

This week at Frosted Designs our challenge is to use chipboard.

The puzzle pieces are Rusty Pickle & I painted them brown and then scuffed up the edges so you could see the outlines really well (and you can tell it's a puzzle!!).  The creams & reds are all Bo Bunny & Heidi Swapp chipboard (used as packaged).  And the little sticker that says Love & Kisses is mounted on a chipboard square.  Of course, I had to pop-dot the photo since 1/2 of it was on the cb puzzle pieces.   So then all the other pieces in that lower left corner are all layered and this has a real pretty look in person.  I should've taken a close up photo of that, but didn't think of it until I was sitting here typing!!  Anyway..TFL.

Puddle Jump (Sketchy Thursday 1.14 challenge)

Another great sketch from Sketchy Thursdays.

And here is my layout:

Handsome All Star (MME Blog challenge #7)

My Minds Eye is having a little sketch contest & you have to use 80% MME product (no problem for me, I think I have every piece ever made .... twice...once already scrapbooked & once too pretty to use!!)

Here is the sketch:

And here is my layout:

The only thing NOT My Minds Eye is the cardstock & the brads.

This is the Dreamy 2 line.  I popped the 2 lower stars for dimension (and to hide that there are no "points" on the top two tips of the star that is on the "ALL STAR" since I cut off that side of the title to allow more of the orange circle to show)
