Crowned Contest Week 1

Scrapdango is having a Feb Contest called Crowned. The challenge this week was to use 2 different types of bling on a layout.

I chose a photo of my DD celebrating her 9th Bday. I thought the photo would go great with some bling.

I used a sheer background paper from KI then I have bling everywhere even though its kind of hard to see in the photo. I used glittered paper (artsylicious line) on the circular paper under the photo. The title letters (Making Memories) are glittered. Bling circle around the a. The chipboard piece at the bottom, the photo corner and the flower sticker (all from Little yellow bicycle) have glitter. Metal flower (Around the Block)is shiny, LOL!!

Scrapperie's Feburary contest

Scrapperie is having a Fabulous Fantastic Feburary contest all month long. Come on over and check it out. There is all kinds of fabulous prizes you can win from kits to gift certificates. Let me know if you join the forum!!

3 VERY Exciting Announcements plus a couple layouts from the crop.

My first announcement is I was named the Queen of the Month over at YMBD!!!! Its so exciting. I got this great crown that I get to display everywhere. I got 5000 YMBD points -which converts to REAL money in the shop. Great stuff in their and you can't get it anywhere else. Plus I got a discount on any of my purchases this month. I will definitely be stocking up. Cat (the owner) said she was putting more new items in the shop today or tomorrow too.


My second announcement which is just as exciting is I was picked as a Guest Designer over at Scrapperie! I'm SOOOOOO excited!! Sandi has amazing kits she puts together!!! Don't know yet what month will be mine, but I can't wait!!!!!!! Feb is turning out to be a great month and it just started. LOL!!!

I just found out I WON the big monthly prize over at Tara's blog!!!! WOOHOO!! Its a $50 prize pack of Heidi Swapp goodies!! Fun Fun FUN!! She has great challenges all month long go check it out.


Now I got 10 items made during the crop!! Woohoo!!! Their were a couple that I really really like how they ended up turning out. The first one is title Painting. The challenge was to do the opposite of your normal style. I am not usually a distressor so I sanded, distressed, painted and inked ALL of the paper. I think it turned out really good.

The second one is 100% boy. This challenge was to use only embellishments. Obviously you need cardstock as a base and we were allowed a small amount of pp to mat the photo. I loved playing with all these embellishments and mixing and matching everything!!!

Crop time again this weekend

YMBD is having a crop this weekend. They have already posted some pre crop challenges too. Come on over and come play. They always have great challenges too. I already completed one of the pre crop challenges. It was to have someone else do the journaling. So I thought to do a little questionnaire for my DD. So I used one of her school photos from this year.


Its kind of hard to see in the photo but I added pearls as bullets for the questions. I really like how it ended up turning out.



Check back soon
Also I have a couple announcements to make, but I can't say anything for a few more days. Lets just say I'm excited!!!

Scrapwhispers Journaling Challenge #13

I have two layouts done so far. The first is "My Twist" it was based on a pagemaps sketch. The journaling reads "My twist on jumping in the leaves. First, rake up all the leaves. Second, pile them all onto the trampoline. Third, jump into the large pile and watch the leaves go flying". I used mostly Scenic Route products -Sumner collection. Leaves are Prima.



My second one is "Dino Time" journaling reads "Tyler wearing one of his fav pair of PJ's his dino ones." Felt dino is from Fancy Pants, the other dino's were cut from Reminisce pp. jounaling spot -MM, Circle around title is from YMBD (check out link on my blog).
