Cropped Week 2

So I made it through week 1 in the Cropped challenge on CM. Now the week 2 challenge is to make a layout with the following requirements (for group 1): ribbon, naked chipboard, yellow cardstock, and round brads.

This is what I came up with



Guess what? I made it through again. I am now in the final two for group 1. YAY ME.

My final challenge this week is to create a card, LO, tag, altered item using the following items:
clear packing tape, assorted photos, ribbon, ink for distressing.

I am going up against Linda and she rocks so wish me luck. I have my LO in mind that I want to do. I think I am going to work on it tonight.

CROPPED challenge week 1

So I signed up for a challenge on CM in the group Scrap Attack and the challenge was set up like the show Chopped. There were 4 groups of 4 (I'm in group 1) and every week there is a different challenge and different element requirements. At the end of the week all the work is judged and the lowest gets voted off.

Week 1 was to do a card or tag and it had to include: 8 pieces of cardstock, black journaling pen, photo squares, and alphas.

This is what I came up with and guess what I made it on to the next round.

New Bella Card

So I made this new Bella card for a challenge to make a card for a special woman in your life. I am going to give this to my mom. I used papers from 2008 Spring DCVW stack and colored in with Bic Mark-its (Gosh I need some Copics, at least a skin one) and starlights. I used my Big Bite to set the eyelets. I love that thing. The sentiment is a rub-on.

If the Shoe Fits TGIF challenge

Ok so the TGIF challenge over on If The Shoe Fits.... Scrap It (http://iftheshoefitsscrapit.blogspot.com/) is a color challenge. We are to create something using the colors lime green and orange. Here is the first of my creations with more to come because I love this color combo. I am going to work on more cards this weekend, possibly even a LO.

2nd If the Shoe Fits Scrap It challenge

I was really inspired by the If the Shoe Fits Scrap It (http://iftheshoefitsscrapit.blogspot.com/) blog challenge proposed by Tanisha. I knew the exact picture I wanted to use in regard to scrapping a pair of shoes. On a visit to Grandma's house, my youngest son was carrying around my old clown doll and since he knew that clowns wore big shoes he went and grabbed Grandma's and started running around the house. He stopped just long enough for us to snap this picture.

If the Shoe Fits Scrap it Blog sketch challenge

OK so one of the If The Shoe Fits Scrap It blog (http://iftheshoefitsscrapit.blogspot.com/) challenges this week is a sketch challenge put up by Kristi. This one came to me pretty easily. I also combined this with the another blog challenge where we were to do a LO about an important woman in our life in honor of National Women's Month.

Well here is mine of my mom.

Shout Out To SheetLoad

Ok so I am shouting out to Sheetload of Cards. If you haven't checked them out then you are so missign out. This blog is awesome and I get some great ideas and inspiration from them. Better yet they have a monthly e-zine (http://sheetload.blogspot.com/2009/03/march-2009-sheetload-of-cards.html) that you can download and print. I keep mine on hand at all times when I am making cards.

Please check this out and if your not there then your square. LOL.
