Critter Challenge #135

Welcome to a new month over at the 

Critter Sketch Challenge Blog.

This month we are being sponsored by

Soft Pencil, who has the most adorable digital stamps, pop over to see!

So this month we were given the following recipe to use... two different ribbons, two brads, and 2 different colours of paper (can be patterned).

Here is my layout. 

My oldest son playing Spring Soccer.

I did cheat a little, instead of using two ribbons, I used one ribbon and one strip of Washi tape.  I have found that I'm using less and less ribbon and more and more Washi tape.

Supplies:

Ribbon - blue from my stash

Cardstock base - Bazzill

Patterned Paper - Bella Blvd.

Brads - American Crafts

Washi Tape - Bella Blvd.

Two important things before you go..  

1.  Don't forget to enter your creation on the

Welcome to another week at the 

Critter Sketch Challenge Blog.

When I saw the sketch I knew that large circle just had to be a soccer ball.  

Supplies - 

Black and White Cardstock - Bazzill

Buttons - from my stash

Washi Tape - K & Company - Smash

Here is the fabulous sketch from sketch artist Colleen Spangler.

Critter Challenge 131 - School is Cool

Ok..  so I know that most kids are back in school already, but my kids don't start until this week, Carsyn - who is starting Grade Nine starts on Tuesday.  Brayden who is going into Grade 10 starts Wednesday.  This year we had a major reconfiguration amongst the grades so both boys are starting at High School together.

This is a picture from June, on the last day of school.  This is my long haired boy, Brayden. (Who thankfully chose to cut his hair last week!!) The third boy is Carsyn's best friend - who stays with us often as he lives on the outskirts of town and plays sports in town and it is just easier for him to stay with us.

When I saw the "later gator" in Bella Blvds. "Baby Boy" line I just knew I had to use them for the boys' last day at Southgate, where their school mascot was a gator.

Supplies used:
All product - paper, buttons, flag were from Bella Blvd.'s - Baby Boy line


Please make sure you check out the Critter Sketch Challenge Blog and enter your "School is Cool" creation.  You just might win the monthly prize!

This month the sponsor is SKDigis

Challenge 127 - Round it Up!

Another challenge over at the Critter Sketch Challenge Blog.

Here is my layout...  I have been wanting to scrapbook these pictures for a long time and when I saw the "Round it Up" challenge I knew that these big round moons would be the perfect photos.

I love this sketch, which I learned in a class that Jennifer Edwardson teaches.  I have used layout several times - I love that I can get the details along with the big pictures.

Supplies Used: All of the paper is from Sei's "Moon Rise"; letters were in an open package in my stash.

Please make sure you check out our monthly sponsor and enter your chance to win their fantastic prize.

Back again for another week over at the Critter Sketch Challenge Blog.  

This week we were given yet another fantastic sketch by Colleen Spangler.


When I saw this sketch come in my mailbox I was super excited... so many possibilities....  I love that it is square.. makes it so easy to make a layout out of it.  This layout took me 15 minutes..  seriously!  So come on.. who doesn't have 15 minutes to whip something together!


I find that even when I make cards... which is so seldom.. they are usually square... I can see that I will probably use this sketch often in the future.. it is also a great way to use up some scraps!!


Here is what I came up with.. sorry about the crappy lighting... I need to learn to take my pictures in the day time!!

Here is my "Molly" sitting in my front window sill.  It is her favourite spot to sit/sleep/bark!


Supplies Used:
Patterned Paper - Echo Park - Woof!
Cardstock- Navy and Yellow Bling - Bazzill, Red - Coredinations.


Please hop over to the Critter Sketch Challenge Blog and enter your creation - whatever it may be!

Critter Sketch Challenge Blog - Challenge #123 - Colour Inspiration

Hi and welcome to another week over at the Critter Sketch this week we are headed back over to 

Design-seeds.com (click the link to see the photo) for another fabulous colour inspiration photo.  

Now I love these colours, but I'm Canadian, and we don't have blue in our patriotic colours, so I played around a little and came up with two different ideas for this week's challenge.

Since there was blue in the inspiration photo, I used blue as my background for this layout of my darling puppy, Molly - she was so little back then, and now, she's almost two and unfortunately lost most of her wonderful colourings and she's pretty much all white - she's still adorable and we just love the joy she brings to us.

And then....  I decided to do a patriotic layout.  I probably could have put this one on a blue background too, but I really wanted to showcase our Red and White. I did use the sketch (see below) from another layout, and I sewed on it!  I did four copies of the same layout...(my sister and I often scrapbook for each other if our kids have been at the same event - it is much easier to do four similar pages than to try and come up with all new ideas).

Carsyn

Brayden

Here's the version that I copied... click the picture to see the original blog post.

Hi and welcome to another week over at the Critter Sketch this week we are headed over to 

Design-seeds.com to look at this fabulous colour inspiration photo.

Doesn't it make you just want to hope on a plane and go there...  or are you lucky and live somewhere like this!  Our summer has yet to show her pretty face, so I'm definitely craving some sun!!

Please check back later today, I am having trouble getting my creation photographed.  

(I had a busy day and wore my camera battery out - so it is on the charger.)
