A couple LOs to share.

Here's a couple LOs I did that didn't get shared yet.

Had fun with this one, I embossed the stripes in my cuttlebug swiss dots folder and the flower...I actually cut the corner out of it for a more 3D effect. I love that smile!
This one is this last years Christmas with Santa pic! I really liked working on this LO...it's all bits and pieces of leftover papers and just a snip of the prima ribbon (??? for lack of a better word)Two small 3/4 or so inch snip of this K&Co. ribbon stuff I've been hoarding that Debbie gave me years ago!!
I love the berries they look like they have frost on them! The Chipboard title I traced on CB because I didn't know how it would turn out and I didn't want to ruin the beautiful Title that Tammy gave me.
Then I painted it and then covered it in tissue paper then I stickled it. I like the effect and the tissue I was saving for some perfect project like this!

Hot Fun in the Summertime!

I did this LO for the MME sketch Challenge, Here's the sketch

And here is my LO :)Sheesh the MME one came out big compared to mine...click on the LO to zoom in if you like! It's My little gal having a blast at the waterpark...she makes me giggle nearly the whole time! Uses Bloom and Grow and some more of the papers from my HOME stack...love them! I made the Silhouette cutting file myself after seeing something similar and not being able to find out who made the die cut I just cut my own!

A new LO-A lift

I did this as a challenge over at My Creative Scrapbook to do a lift of a DT members work. I did this one of Delaina's because she had done a step by step showing how she used the smaller die cut shapes and a light bulb went off for me...I can cut these shapes on the sil but since they won't cut at 12X12 I figured I had little use for them except for journal boxes...now I can use some pretty papers and still save the design of the paper I want! The title is a sil cut, the heart/flower shape and the bracket shape are from UK scrappers.

Alls I got is 3 cards to share today.

Didn't get a LO done, just the three cards one for Gloria's Challenge on CDNscrapswapChat site and two for the Scrapping Outback challenge that Jule's put on.
I don't consider myself a card maker so you need not leave a comment telling me so LOL!
Gloria's Challenge

Jule's Challenge

Another day and another LO! :)

Another LO from an Ali sketch...I think I may actually need more of these books....need some variety :)
At any rate this LO is one of DD in her jumperoo.

Another days worth of pics scrapped!

his LO was for a challenge on Scrapping outback...usually I just hang with my Aussie girls and scrap at the crops but I never seem to get the monthly challenges done. Well this month Julie put up the perfect challenge, with all the Ali Sketches I've been doing I am left with LOs that are 1,2, 3 and even some 4 pic LOs to do so since the sketch was for 3 pics I took advantage of that fact and did up this LO. The little You're a Winner Chipboard piece was from Scrapping Outback that I won during a crop.

Then while I was scrapping in the Outback...I did Jane's challenge- Baby card thank you's with a paper piecing and stamping and some blue.

I'm actually going to see if I can get all the challenges accomplished...that would be something for me! LOL

A quick Layout and something special I did up.

First the quick LO not that it's not special, it is too but you'll see in a minute what I was trying to say...these pics are really old, so I wanted to get them done so I could fill up the gap in DDs first album! There will hopefully be more of these Layouts to come. :) These are two shots of DD with her Daddy on two days that were close together so I scrapped them together.The frame is a My Scrapchick cutting file.

Next up is a project I have been working on on the side, it's one of those things I just had to pick at as I needed tiny pieces, and frankly I'm not convinced it's totally finished there is a square or two I may still add to.
Here we go anyway....This is a? Shadow box? Curio shelf piece. I started by painting it red and then I crackled it...well I don't know why it didn't work so well but since it didn't crackle everywhere I took and sanded back the second coat of black paint to expose the red in spots. I was TOTALLY inspired to get this done when I finally found the Tim Holtz Lost and found papers...it's Exactly what I envisioned it to be in!! I actually have 2 to 3 more of these to do...anyway I'll just show you because the rest speaks for itself.
First the whole piece-


Next is all the close ups for you





The key represents DD holding the key to our hearts and being the "key" to the family we are. (see top with family and the Lock and heart)

Candlestick is representing DD being the light in our lives.
