Another Challenge

I am in the middle of a challenge with some CTMH girls. This is like the last one where we get a little more info every day. So I am posting pics of today and yesterday's progress on the pages.

Day 1:

1. Create a base using at least three different papers. 

2. Find ribbon, fiber, lace or string and attach something to it. 

3. Now add the ribbon, fiber, lace or string with its attachment to the layout. 

Day 2:

1. Add photo(s) to the base. 

2. Add photo corners or a band of ribbon to the photo(s). 

3. Create a title and add it to the base. 

4. Add at least 1 item that you have had in your stash for longer than 6 months. You know the one that you are waiting for the PERFECT page!! Well this is it!!

 

Birthday time... With scraps

I needed a quick birthday card. And decided to dig in my scrap bin. I have to many scraps of paper right now, so I wanted to start using them up. So I only allowed myself to use what was in my scrap bin.

Christmas Cards

I couldn't sleep at all last night. They joys of pregnancy LOL Anyway I needed something quiet to do to keep me busy while everyone else in the house were sound asleep. So I pulled out my Dickens Village paper, my Snow Friends, and water color pencils. They turned out really cute. I think I may add some glitter to them. But I don't have any on hand at the moment. (two yr olds find glitter so fun!) I think these will be my only cards for this year. I have a few more I will need to make. I have a dz. complete right now. It will help get a jump on things and have everything finished early. BWT, the inside reads "Happy Winter!".

Challenge 1 from the CTMH board

So I was on the CTMH board the other day and noticed a group of girls who were doing a challenge that took a few days to complete. I was so in love with the idea. I followed the thread on my own to complete the challenge. It was a 2 page layout, and each day we got a little more info on what we needed on our pages.

Day 1 - Create base pages using various colors of card stock. Then to decorate it with various words that will be connected to the subject of the layout.

Day 2 - Pick the photos and mat them... Use four pictures to form a square and also have photo to be the centerpiece of the layout. We were also told to use a 3d element of wording in the center of the 4 photos, but I couldn't think of anything lol We also needed to decorate the center piece photo or mat in a way to draw the eye to that photo.


Day 3 - Create a journaling space. But various words in the journaling should be high lighted in a unique way.


Day 4 - Decorate and mat two seperate quotes and place one on each page.



Day 5 - Embelish to complete the page.

Gel Card

Someone on the CTMH boards mentioned the Gel Card tutorial on SCS yesterday. So I had to go over and check it out. It was such a cute technique I had to give it a try. But I don't think this will get used as a card. I think I am going to add it to a scrap page instead. It seems to busy to keep as a card. My 6 yr old seems to love it. It will take a lot more playing around until I get it right.

Newest Challenge Layout

This challenge was to use a minimum of nine squares and a minimum of three photos. I used CTMH stamps Todays date and Just because (from the card kit). It's pretty simple. But turned out cute. I think it has enspired me to do an scrapbook of DH and I before we were married.

Greens

I had a challenge this month to scrap the color green. This is what I came up with. It gave me a chance to play with my new "Whoo Loves You" stamp set. I love this set! I used my Cricut for the titling. It looks like a different shade of green IRL, but it was hard to see the difference in the photo.
