Time To Get Twisted!

Looking for the Triple T blog hop? Go here!

There's a new sketch posted at Twisted Sketches, and you'll have to take a hop over there to see how fabulous it is, but here's the LO I created with it:

For this LO, I used the SKETCH plus the twist of GREEN for Twisted Sketches. The photo is of my daughter doing homework for the first time in our new home 3 years ago for the SCHOOL theme at The Studio Challenges. To make the white layered scallops, I punched 3 1" strip sof white CS with my scallop punch inked each strip and then layered for this textured border. I added a small piece of a vintage ruler with NUMBERS for the challenge at Crop Suey. Lastly, I have several elements from the itinerary at Desert Island Craft Challenge including the color GREEN, the crocheted FLOWERS and TEXT PRINT. Can you see the text print? If you look closely, each polka dot is actually a dot of text, such fun paper!!

No be sure and go visit Twisted Sketches to see the latest sketch, the fabulous LOs the rest of the Design Team created, and link up your own take! =) T

September's Challenge at The Craft Garden

It's September 1st, time for a new challenge at The Craft Garden! We had a fun photo to use as our inspiration this month:

and some goreous flowers to include in our project too, thanks Kerry!

Put those two elements together, and here's what I came up with:

This was a layout that wasn't really in "the plan"- yes, I'm a planner. I have a binder that organizes all my scrapping projects, and this one was not in the works. Leftovers from a wedding LO, these adorable pics just didn't fit. And so they sat and sat (the pics are from 2002) until I recently came across them and squealed at my 2 little ones, I just HAD to scrap them!! See, I used to always scrap everything "event related", and missed out on the opportunities like this- to look at the photos and find other meanings. Not just pics of my kids at the wedding, but the fact that my son can find an adventure ANYWHERE- even at a wedding with no other playmates, he's racing through a field of sunflowers. And my daughter can nap ANYWHERE- even at a wedding filled with a ton of people and loud music!

I hope you'll be inspired by this month's prompt and link up your project at The Craft Garden, would love to see what you create!
