Birthday Sundaes Challenge #4

Good Sunday morning everyone. I hope you are having a great weekend. The gardens are starting to turn green. It won't be long before some of the early flowers (beside the crocuses) are in bloom. Hopefully spring is popping where you are, with great color and nice warm weather.

Being Sunday, that means it's time to introduce the new challenge at Birthday Sundaes. The challenge this week is an inspiration challenge. The inspiration comes from eatdrinkchic.com.


I chose to use the pink and the ice cream for my card. I used a sketch from Page Maps. I really loved this sketch. I'm sure to use it again.


And here's my card.



I cut the scalloped squares from the Mini Monograms Cricut cartridge and the ice cream cone from Stretch Your Imagination.

Thanks for looking. I look forward to see how the photo inspires you.

Thinking Rock

I have been working on pages today on my day off. There's other things I should have done, but I really wanted to get these pages done. I'm so glad I did.


The last layout I needed to create for the Scrappin-n-Chattin' challenges for this month was to include the words Rock and/or Roll in the title. This was a bit of a challenge for me. Luckily, we are loaded with rocks around here. I decided to use photos of Harley trying to decide if he wanted to go swimming at the quarry. This layout is based on the current sketch at PageMaps Blog.


This is what I came up with, using some more of my Echo Park Summertime paper.

I created a page 2 for this layout, to answer the question posed in the subtitle, To Swim or Not To Swim. This page was based on a sketch from The Scrappiest.



I used some more Echo Park Summertime paper. It was pretty easy to make the pinwheel. I think it adds a fun element to the page.

Here are the pages together.

Thanks for looking.

So Cuddly

I have gotten much braver about having my photo taken. I would never allow one to be taken before, and if one was, it was destroyed or hidden. Being a part of the Yahoo Group Scrappin 'n Chattin has really helped me to come out of my shell and realize how important photos of me will be in the future.

I had Stew take a picture of me holding Willie today. I had decided I needed it to complete the Fuzzy challenge at SnC. I had only found a couple of fuzzy embellishments when shopping and one was a puppy one, the other a teddy bear. When I saw the teddy bear one my thoughts started to churn.

I used a sketch and challenge from Page Maps to do the page with the fuzzy embellishment.


We were to use the colors at the bottom of the sketch in the layout. That was the tough part. Here is the layout:



Willie is such a lover. Thanks for looking.
