Stuck Sketch #64

LOVED this sketch from Stuck?! Sketches, #64... just love the highlighting focus of a 5x7 which is one of my fave sizes to scrap.. also love this photo of me and Jeremy, we just don't have enough pics together...

Christmas Cookie Sheet Advent Calendar

So, I've seen these done and think that looked amazing!! and seen a couple variations on the project, and I knew it would be something that the kids would love to do, so thought I would give this project a whirl. I am sooo in love with the new Scenic Route holiday line, that I decided to use most of it for this project, and what better letters to use than American Crafts Thickers!!! So I used a cookie sheet for altering and then used chipboard for each of the countdown pieces and used magnets on the backs, so they can be removed and added back, and are super easy to work with.. Add some fun Shimmerz to the project for some glittery bling... I am really happy with how this all turned out and can't wait to use it next month...

My Take on the Sketch:

TOOT.... 2Sketches4You

Over at 2 Sketches 4 You.. My card got picked as one of the Fab 5 card picks of the week!!! what a great way to start off a Monday.. I just love their sketches and examples, always amazing and great inspiration...

Go Green Card Challenge

Over at Two Spotted Dogs, they had a month long daily card challenge, and I actually got sooo much done, including many of my Christmas cards ahead of time!!! yeah for me.. well this challenge was to use some type of scrap, or materials that you would throw away, so I used the plastic off the Heidi Swapp packaging and then added fun butterflies with 3D pop dots to really pop out the embellies... I've never tried this before but had lots of fun with the new challenge.

Layout Pages..

I have been such a slacker blogger, esp with Halloween and all the fun family activities that we have been doing.. These are some pages that I got done from last weekend and never got around to posting.. Got a page done of my super cute niece, Emily.. who is just adorable.. Also right now just lovin the mix of black and kraft- got a bunch of kraft cardstock today, which really made me smile.
