Let's Ride

 I was able to get 2 projects done after work today, I was so stress after being in meetings all day and this was just what the doctor ordered.

The Scraproom blog had a beautiful sketh for week 11 Challenge and I couldn't wait to use it. I will also be submitting this LO for my second entry at The Practical Scrappers - Use Chipboard

Then for the second project, I use the free digi image from A Gem of a challenge but then forgot to use the sketch provided by Janet, just went about trying to use up scraps and I thought the cutout square was perfect as a frame for the heart.

I will also be sub,itting this card for Crafty Creations #50 - Spots and dots,  Creative Card Crew #46 going Dotty, Flutter by Wednesdays #101 Green + Butterfly and Cupcake Craft #82 Going Green

So I went ahead and made another project using the beautiful Moosetrack Monday Freebie from Paper Popsicles and the sketch from A Gem of a  Challenge to make another card

To Love and Be Loved

Simon Says 3 embellishments (Ribbon, Chipboard flower and brad), 2 PP and 1 image for the Happy Hello Hop and Recipe Challenge, so using Sketch #91 from Creative Scrappers, I attempted Simon's recipe.

No More Snow

Been having so much working with digi images and making cards that I haven't done a LO in a while but today using Capture these Sketch #5 Sneezy Sketch which is part of the Snow White and the Seven Dwarf Challenge for this month, I made a LO of my son, I guess reflecting how we are all feeling about the none stop snow we have been getting, I believe Hawaii is the only state currently without snow.

For Sketch 181 at Scrapbook Challenge, I pull out 2 fun pictures of my boys, the funny thing about their baby picture now that they are both grown is that it brings back lots of fun memories  not only for me but alo for them when I explain to them what was going on or where the picture was taken.

This was also entered for the use lot of notions challenege and also paper cutting challenge. The top flower on the right was stamped on the cardstock then on scrap paper and then cut out. Then bottom right was an idea from an old copy of a scrapbooking magazine, just a bunch of different size circles using decorative scissors to cut them out, crumpled and edges inked. The PP is from a K&C company stack I think it is called Roam and the yellow flower on the left is from prima, edges inked using Marvy Le Plume II 82. Persimmon.

I found the Marvy Le Plume II markers on clearance at M, since 1 or 2 was missing so I bought the victorian and bright set for about $9, really enjoy using them so far.

First Scrapbooking Post

I decided to create a separate blog for my scrapbooking separate from my fitness/running blog, it was beginning to get a bit confusing to post SC things on my running blog or to link my running blog to a SC challenge. You are welcome to read either one, I am going to be going back to running at the end  of the month currently on a 2 months break to let my body completely heal from injury.

Did a LO for the sketch of the week at Sketch Inspiration

The music notes were hand cut and I use an inqueboard to make the drawing on the left, the yellow paper is part of the Perfect pages young at heart scrapbook page kit.

Am really new to this, only being scrapbooking for 3 months now but I seem to hvae acquired a lot in such a short people definately easily enabled.
