Sketch Challenge

This is the sketch over at Magistical Memories for the March Guest Designer Challenge. I love that it uses so many photos. I was able to use lots of pictures from my daughter's 2nd birthday. That was over 29 years ago! YIKES!!!

Oh Amy what a little cutie you were! Look at that smile!

We interrupt your regular programming....

...to tell you my exciting news!

See my new blinkie on the left hand side?
I am now on the Design Team for Scrapbook Star.
I'm so excited to be part of a Canadian kit club. It's based out of Quebec.

Dominique the owner was so sweet to actually call me and invite me to be part of the team.
Scrapbook Star is a wonderful online store and I will be getting a kit every other month to design with and on the alternate months I will be creating with items from the store.
Scrapbook Star also has a very friendly message board so I hope you will come and join us there just to chit chat or be inspired by everyone there.
My first kit has gone postal and I can hardly wait for it to arrive! I'm sure it will be gorgeous.
So stay tuned because Feb.15th the DT's creations will be showcased.

Layouts using Sassafras Lass

I was looking through my gallery of layouts for pages using Sassafras Lass and realized that some of them are my most favourite layouts ever!

Thought I would share some of them with you today....sort of a Sassafras tribute if you will! Hope you enjoy it!

My last Twisted Sketch

I'm feeling a little sad today because I have decided to hang up my DT hat at Twisted Sketches.
Anam has been so great to work with and I hesitate to use that word because it has not been work at all! It's been lots of fun!
I'm sure that I will still be using the sketches because they are awesome!
Thanks Anam for everything. You Rock!! Good luck to the new design team.

Please check out Twisted Sketch #086. Here is my take on it.



This photo shows how I used the Diamond Glaze on the berries to make them glossy.

Playing along at Sketchy Thursdays

This layout was just chosen as a favourite at Sketchy Thursdays! WooHoo!!

In between shoveling all the snow that we got overnight and today I got a chance to play with the sketch from Sketchy Thursdays.

It was perfect for getting a couple more photos from my Mom's party scrapped. I think I will be using this sketch again!

Isn't She Sweet?

I got a chance to play with some copics and also a card sketch from My Minds Eye and came up with this cute little Valentines Day card.

Isn't she just too adorable? I'm new at colouring with Copics so please don't be too critical. :)

I'll have to decide who I want to send it to.

The other challenge that I used for this card is from over at Frosted Designs with their Fabulous Friday Challenge
