Summertime....

ok so do I ever get sick of scrappin beach photos from our Cali trips, once where we called home??? nope.... sure don't. that is sooo glad what I am very happy with the Snorkel line from Cosmo.. totally yummy, can work for boy or girl, and I get lots scrapped.. what more can I ask for??? well, maybe a beach in my backyard, but that could be pushing it a bit...

2 sketches 4 you # 29

Ok so I have been wanting to break into this Early Bird line from Cosmo for over a week now.. it's just been sitting there screaming at me to scrap!!!!! it's been crazy around here and finally got a break today and got to scrap!!! Yeah.. finally.. Here is my take on the new sketch # 29 at 2 sketches 4 You:

challenge of 6's

Such a fun challenge for the contest in June going on over at Scrap Heaven, use 6 PPs, 6 ribbons, 6 in the title or wording, and 6 embellies... is that enough 6's or what??? oh yeah and 6 buttons... Well here is my take on it.. My extra 6 embellies are: a sticker, a chipboard, 2 flowers, and 2 bling brads..

Bling Card

Lara posted this cool challenge on here blog.. and when I saw it I knew how fun it was, do a LO or card with lots of bling... and I LOVE my bling, what can I say? I'm kinda girlie like that.. So I used my HS flower with bling on it, then added Shimmerz bling on the flower and crumpled flower center, then threw on more bling.. I thought that would make it yummy... Also love Cosmo.. always a great choice.. I used the Sunday Sketch from 365 card challenge blog, and kinda tweaked it a bit to work to my taste.. Here it is:

close up with lots of Shimmerz

Inspirational Sketches # 23

Ok I have been suuuuuuch a blogging slacker!!!! I know, a whole week!!! that means I didn't get to scrap much and really that makes me completely sad.. so hoping to change that this week..
Here is the new card sketch from Dawn over at Inspirational Card sketches, and here is my take on sketch # 23... SUCH a fun sketch, you HAVE to check it out.. make sure you post there in Mr Linky, there is a really fun prize there for the week... But I LOVE the Jungle Bungle line from Sassafras and used it here, their new blossoms are sooo yummy.....

Inspirational Card Sketches # 22

The newest sketch by Dawn is posted today for IC Sketch # 22.. you have to check it out, it is sooo yummy.. Also the featured sponsor is Lily Boo's Boutique... she provided the CUTEST lil fairy digi images and they are soo fun. We got to work with them, this is my FIRST ever attempt at digi images.. not sure if I did it quite right, but they were sooo fun to play with, I'm going to have to work with them again forsure.. Here is my first attempt at digi images, with LOTS of Shimmerz paint to add some bling and glitter, since to me that what a fairy carries with her...

It is already rainy, something that wasn't suppose to happen to later on this afternoon, so NO good photos, so sorry about the poor quality..

Inspirational Card Sketches # 20

Such a great card sketch from Dawn at Inspirational Card Sketches, here is my take on sketch #20... I have to say I am sooo grateful for Victoria and these WAY fun and totally adorably cute Mad Hatter vintage tags that she sent me... She had used one on a layout and I thought it was a stamp.. so I thought I was use it on the card with the sentiment "How Bout A Tea Party?"
