happy halloween card

It's also Fashionista Friday #9 at If The Shoe Fits... Scrap It! The prompt is "Halloween!" Hope to see you playing over there. We had a lot of participation in the Bling Challenge and that was great to see.
Hope everyone has a great weekend, and that you get more treats than tricks!

cheers card... get sketchy


Every week I copy down the sketch from Get Sketchy and mean to get around to it. Sometimes I'll make a card using a Get Sketchy sketch weeks later. (So remember to save your sketches, peeps, they do come in handy when you need some inspiration!) Finally, I completed one when the sketch was still up for playing.
Scoot on over and play along tonight if you can. Here is my entry for the GS #11 challenge plus the "Buttons" extra challenge.
I love the Cosmo Cricket Boyfriend line for making masculine cards! And the buttons and pearls on this card make the extra little fizz to go with the soda bottle... CHEERS!

Now, to get to the glitter! I used Art Glitter's Gala Glitz in red on the heart and also on the circles. One lucky winner is walking away next week with a prize pack from our friends at Art Glitter. It could be you!! But you have to play to win, so get those entries posted to Sketchy Thursdays by next Wednesday, 11/4 at 10 p.m. (EST).
Supplies: Sassafras Lass Amplify (pp), Art Glitter Gala Glitz Red (glitter), Sassafras Lass (flowers and stickers), American Crafts Thickers (letters)

family time

I chose to make a page for Nate's book that has some of his family time without Mom and Dad. My mother-in-law knows I'm a nut about pictures, and if there is a picture with my son in it, I want a copy! Because I will scrap it, even if I wasn't there! This page is about those moments.


Only Heidi submitted to my last challenge to play along with Get Meaningful and I'd gift a small prize. She gets enough mail from me already (lol), so I am offering this up again...
Post your link HERE ON THIS POST and to GM, and I'll send some goodies to a random winner if you play along. Come on, peeps... it's about FAMILY!!! We've all got 'em! No excuses!!
Supplies: Pink Paislee (pp), Pink Paislee (chipboard shapes & flower), Pink Paislee (sticker letters and chipboard letters), Maya Mist (blue), Tattered Angels (glimmer mist), Making Memories (journal spot)

sketchy me

Here's my sample page. It is also an entry for The Studio's Oct. 16 Challenge. Check out the details here. The entry had to have new patterned paper, old patterned paper and be about yourself.

So, here is my weak, and not really great, attempt at also doing that challenge. I wanted to mention it though, because if you can manage to make it rock (like some of the ladies over there have), then try it out!

Don't forget to play along at Sketchy Thursdays this week. Our friend Amber over at Scrapbook Kit Club has the November kit sneak up for a peek and is giving one away to this week's winner. It could be you... but you have to play to win!
Supplies: Maya Mist (blue), Hambly (pp), Dream Street (pp), Evalicious, Prima (bling and bubble), Pink Pasilee (chipboard) and Creative Chaos (journal spot)

a revived sketch and some american crafts love

Here is my page to go along with that challenge. Head over to this page to see the details! (See that amazing, Prima jeweled flourish on the lefthand side of my page? Yeah... Flamingo Scraps sells them!)

I also found some of my American Crafts goodness to play along with the AC blog. They want you to use two AC products and black & white photos.
This is a page for my son's book. The pictures are from a family vacation we took with my mom, stepdad and sister. We live hours and hours away from each other, so to have the chance to travel to see my grandmother in NC this past May was way overdue! We had 10 days together, and Nate had his first chance to really get to know his aunt Ashley!
Thanks for looking at my blog today! I love when you all stop by!
Supplies: American Crafts (card stock, pp, Flair, Thickers, ribbon, fussy cuts), Prima (bling) and Making Memories (letter stickers)

a 'lil' bit to win and some cropping going on

As many of you know, today is a big day for a few reasons. First, I am off to meet Spiderman with my son this morning, so that is the most important event of them all—Super heroes are the best!
No, really... here is the big news for today in the land of scrapbooking. At Sketchy Thursdays today, we are rolling out another Second Chance Challenge courtesy of Lil Scrappin Mama. If you haven't guessed by now, the DT members each took a stab at the October kit and it was WONDERFUL! Great fall colors, awesome kraft paper and amazing embellishments that seemed to go on forever! (*swoon*)



•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

I would love to show you the sketch.... I would love to show you the prize I'm giving away.... I would love to tell you all about the tutorial I am posting today!
There is so much I would LOVE to share with you... but I can't. You have to be a MAF member and play along over there. You have all weekend to complete even just one project for a chance to win, so no excuses that you're too busy! Hope to see you over there!
And with that, I am off to meet Spidey! Throwin' webs everyone, and I'm outta here! I'll see you on MAF this weekend!

10.15 new sketchy thursdays challenge


Now he requires coins to go over (or under) any bridge, overpass, guard rail, you name it... if it looks like a bridge, he's gotta shake his fist full of coins and make a silly sound I couldn't possibly begin to describe. But it's adorable, I assure you.
This page chronicles his love for bridges. Thanks so much for looking! I truly do appreciate everyone who stops by my blog and visits each time I post!!

get meaningful: school days

I couldn't, for the life of me, find a decent, worthy-of-scrapping photo of me from when I was in school. So, I went with Nate's preschool experience.


I wrote in the journal spot a bit about taking his picture before school, but the hidden journaling goes deeper into his actual experiences at preschool. Let's just say that Nate isn't a stranger to the concept of time out. (smile!)

Supplies: (My Lil Scrappin' Mama October kit!) Dream Street (pp), Dream Street (chipboard), Jillibean Soup (pp), lace ribbon, staples, twine
Hope to see some new faces playing along at Get Meaningful for this prompt! I think it's a fun one!!
