Where's Tessa

I was able to create a rare layout tonight after work. I followed this week's challenge at Lasting Memories. The challenge is to create a layout with Frames and Flowers. I don't think I have ever used a frame on a page, but I was up to the challenge.

I used Artful Delight's September kit again, and photos of Tessa.

The sketch I chose is one that Theresa Neubaum created for the SnC's Monthly Sketch Challenge. I am so excited that Theresa is creating sketches for us to use. They are awesome.



The colors on my page are a little off. I had to take this photo at night, with the light in the scraproom.

The flower in the center is from Tessa at Precocious Paper. I love her flowers. Make sure you check them out.

I am also entering this layout as my 52 Weesk Challenge entry at SnC. I can't believe it's Week 39 already. I am so happy that I have been able to keep up.

Thanks for looking.

I Don't Know About This

Good Wednesday morning. It's been very strange weather-wise here in NY for the last week or so. It's been pretty warm, now it's rainy. It's supposed to get more fall-like toward the end of the week.


It's time for another great challenge at The Paper Variety. And we have a great prize for one random winner - an assortment of papers and embellies from Fancy Pants' To The Moon collection.

This is such a fun collection. And the challenge is super fun. We have an exclusive sketch created for us by Aphra Bolyer. I absolutley love it!!

I used some more photos of my doggies to create this page. These are photos of the 4th day with our new puppy Tessa. Willie is very leary of her, but curious. He was this way for several weeks. I was worried he wouldn't warm up to her.

I used papers and embellishments from the September Artful Delight kit. I really enjoyed this kit, and the pages I created with it. The alphas are some Thickers and bubble letters from my stash.

I hope you will give this sketch a try. I look forward to seeing lots of wonderful entries.

Birthday Sundaes Challenge #28

Good Sunday morning. I hope everyone is enjoying a nice, leisurely weekend. We have a trial this weekend, a very wet one. It's been very challenging.

It's time for a new challenge at Birthday Sundaes. This one is very versatile.... Create a birthday card with buttons. Make sure to include a birthday sentiment on the front of the card.

For my card, I cut the card base and the sentiment from the Birthday Bash cartridge. There is so much great stuff on that cartridge.


I cut the colorful scalloped oval with my Nestabilities. I included some more of my dimensional birthday stickers, and of course some buttons from my stash.

I hope you will share your birthday card with buttons with us this week.

Save the Date Card

Good Wednesday morning. I have a card to share this morning. My son Pete is getting married. He asked Jenna to marry him over the summer, and now preparations have started for the wedding. The big day will be in May next year, but there is so much to get done.

I created this Save the Date card to show her. She really liked it, so she, Jackie and I will be getting together to get them all made up.

I am going to enter this into a couple of challenges. Wee Memories Challenge #68, which is to use no patterned paper. On this card, I used a large wood stamp to create the background on the pink paper. The image is flowers and butterflies. The wedding colors are going to be pink and black and the theme will be butterflies.

Flutterby Wednesdays' challenges this month are open, you just need to include a butterfly, fairy or angel on your project. Perfect.

Thanks for looking.

Wait

Wow, 2 posts in one day. I have gotten quite a bit done. I completed 3 pages and 1 card. Pretty good for me.

I have missed making pages of the doggies. So that is what I concentrated on today. This one is for the September Artful Delight sketch challenge. I wasn't sure I liked the size of the photos in this sketch, but the more I looked at it, the more I liked it.


I used papers and embellishments from the September Artful Delight kit on this layout too. It was so fun to create different pages today with the same kit.

I have been trying to get some good photos of Tessa. As soon as I aim the camera at her, though, she takes off. She obviously does not understand this is not acceptable.. lol. I will keep working at it. It's so fun to compare the photos of her to those of Willie. She is really starting to look like him now.

Stealth Mode

Good Tuesday morning. I had to take the last 2 days off to go to doctors' appointments, so I am also trying to get some scrapping done as well.

I really wanted to get the Lasting Memories challenge done early this week. Willie has a trial this weekend, so I will not have time to craft. I love the challenge this week. It's a sketch, and you are to use fall colors in your layout. Here is the sketch, again a very versatile one.


I used papers and supplies from my September Artful Delight kit. The colors are very fallish and perfect for the LM challenge. The buttons and ribbon were the only items from my stash.


When Willie doesn't want to come in, he honkers down and gets ready to pounce when you approach him to pick him up. It looks really funny when he flattens himself down to the ground.

Be sure to check out the challenge and the great projects the design team created at Lasting Memories.

Good Sunday morning. It's been a beautiful weather weekend here. My boyfriend rented a backhoe for the weekend to start some of the repair to our storm damaged driveway. He got done with it early, so he was playing and removed some wild roses around our nursery area in the backyard. He's going to do a little more today. So this will expand our gardens a little bit more.

And since it's Sunday, it's time for the new challenge at Birthday Sundaes. The challenge this week is to create a belated birthday card. Check out the cards the design team created. They are all so cute and creative.

For mine, I went simple. That is really my style. I followed the September Card Sketch #1 at Sassy Lil' Sketches for my card. I am really loving using these sketches.

I used one of the new Nestabilities that my son gave me for my birthday for the large, scalloped circles. All of the papers were scraps from my stash. I added a little bit of bling to the center of my stamped flower and the sentiment spot.


I hope you will create a belated birthday card to share with Birthday Sundaes this week.
