For my dt example for level 2 of the STTG color challenge, I was inspired by a few other challenges that are going on right now. For level 2, you just need to pick 3 out of the 4 colors (lavender, ice blue, cream and gray) and 2 out of the 4 embellishments (pearls, bling, flowers and lace). The Meadow Lark papers by Prima were perfect for what I wanted to create and I saw that they currently have a Meadow Lark facebook challenge and a BAP sketch for March. Since I was already using the Meadow Lark papers, it was only natural that I combine the two with the STTG challenge. I then remembered that the current song for Scrap it with a Song is “Nothing Compares 2 You” by Sinead O’Connor. I used a variation of that by turning “you” into “your” in my subtitle, so now it reads: Nothing compares to your…sweet, happy, mischievous grin’z’ (I ran out of the letter S from the Dusty attic typewiter ABC set, so I just played around w/the titlework). Here’s what I came up with by combining these challenge elements:

Materials:

Prima Meadow Lark pp
Prima Meadow Lark flowers
Prima Meadow Lark metal trinket
Prima Meadow Lark Art Tile
Prima Meadow Lark alphas
Dusty Attic chipboard alphas
Canvas Corp Canvas sheet

Sketchabilities #66 features a gorgeous sketch by Karan Gerber. I decided to combine the sketch w/my dt work for STTG‘s second challenge. STTG’s March challenge has 3 tiers. From a list of 4 colors, 4 embellishments, 2 shapes and 2 techniques, you select a specified number from the categories for each level to complete your project. Here’s my take on level 3 of the STTG challenge using the Sketchabilities #66 sketch:

This is one of my favorite photos of Christian from the photos we took last fall at the playground. He wandered all over the playground with his father in tow. 😀 Little cutie was so tiny he could even walk with room to spare beneath all the equipment! I combined the Tic-Tac-Toe challenge at The Paper Variety with an awesome sketch from Creative Scrappers to create this layout. The quote on the diecut sticker that reads, “Not all those who wander are lost” by Tolkien is one of my faves, so I just had to use it for this page.

From the TPV’s challenge, I selected the bottom row and created a layout, incorporated faux stitching and diecut stickers.

Here’s what I came up with using the gorgeous CS sketch #198:

Materials:

American Crafts black cardstock
Reminisce Expedition Destination papers
Reminisce E.D. diecut stickers
Canvas Corp burlap
Prima vine
Prima Printery tile
Prima Printery Avon Rose flowers
Prima Printery Coventry Rose flower
Distress Walnut Stain ink pad
Distress Antique Photo stain

Adhesives:

Helmar Premium Craft Glue
Helmar 450 Quick Dry
Helmar Liquid Scrap Dots

The wonderful sketch from Creative Scrappers:

Thank You for being a Friend – Layout for Prima BAP and STTG #1

STTG‘s first challenge is to use “Thank You” or “Thankful” on a paper based project. For my example, I decided to use that theme and the current Prima BAP challenge which ends today. Though my first thought was Larry and the kids, I figured everyone already sees page after page of my family and know how much I appreciate them and how truly grateful I am to have them in my life. However, what a lot of people do not know is that Nicolle, my online scrappy bestie, has been been a true friend to me. I’m fortunate to have served on 5 different design teams with her (some current) and I’m so incredibly thankful that we met about a year ago. I don’t know where my head would be without her some times and I know that I can talk to her about literally anything…what a gift! She’s a real listener, which is so rare these days and I greatly appreciate everything she does to contribute to the teams we’re on. She’s focused, dedicated, loving, caring, generous, responsible and a wonderful friend. She’s fabulous wife and mother. I only wish there were some way my page could capture all of that, but this will have to do. lol

Thank you, Nicolle, for being YOU! 😀
