Red, Green and Metal at Black with Two

There's a new challenge for the month up at Black with Two. This month's assignment is DOMINANT BLACK ....with Red, Green and a hint of gold or silver or both if you feel creative. Here's what I came up with:

I used red pattern paper, cardstock and a chipboard flower for the red; a jumbo felt circle and a cardstock tag for my green, and added silver brads for the silver element. I also incorporated the word "Trust" in my title and used the sketch from the current challenge at Bird is the Word. =) T

Challenges:

-Black with Two red, green + silver

-Bird is the Word sketch + "trust"

-All Sorts going around in circles

-Make It Monday anything goes

Catch-Up Time

Hello and happy Friday! Time for me to play catch up again, and share all my most recent DT entries! First up I have this month's layout for the challenge at Black With Two. This month Eve has asked us to use Black+lime+cream. I love these challenges because it gets me to scrap out of my comfort zone. I would never think to use this color scheme, but it really works and I love what I came up with. Also, I incorporated  sketch #125 from Twisted Sketches, and used a fabulous posie from Precocious Papers.

Next up....there's a new song up at Scrap It With a Song, Adele's "Rolling in the Deep". I had a few pics of my kiddos at a local pool this summer, and decided to go with "off the deep end" as my title:

And finally I have this week's LO and sketch over at Sketches in Thyme. I am the proud designer of this week's sketch and think it's a pretty good one to work with.

I hope you'll have a chance to check out these fabulous challenge blogs and see all the great work from the Design Teams. Link up your own takes too, I'd love to see what you come up with!! =) T

Open Challenge at Sketches in Thyme

It's that time again, time for an Open Challenge at Sketches in Thyme. Here's the layout I created for the challenge:

I decided to use the sketch from Once Upon a Sketch, always love their sketches and their xtra journaling challenge that's included with it.

For this sketch you had to include 2 lines from a favorite song. I chose the line "hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away" from a Pearl Jam song. It fits well with the mood and the personal nature of this layout I created. For my color scheme, I incorporated the challenge from Black with Two and used only black and green.

I hope you'll have a chance to use a favorite sketch and link it up with us at Sketches in Thyme, we'd love to see what you create! =) T
