Three-for-Tuesday!

Hello and happy Tuesday! 3 more projects to share with you today! First up I have a LO I created showing off my love of all things Beatles. I have a huge collection of memorabelia on display throughout our home, but for some reason the thought never crossed my mind to scrapbook about it. And then  Mindy posted the cover art from the album Abbey Road as inspiration for an assignment at Scrap It With a Song! I pulled out papers from The Crafting Family and here's what I created:

next up is my project for the DT at Triplicate Trials Tuesday. The latest challenge is combining hot pink, black and yellow; a cute sketch with circles and a banner; and the modern, chic theme. Here's the card I created using those prompts:

And finally I have my latest LO for Twisted Sketches. Anam has another fabulous sketch to use, plus the twist of "Spell". I was all caught up on Halloween projects *gasp* so i decided to incorporate "Spell" in my title, "A is for Anna":

Another batch of projects to share!

Ugghh- still playing catch up, here are a few more layouts I have to share with you:

There's always a fabulous sketch up at Twisted Sketches, and I have a LO to share with you from their sketch #122. It was a sketch +a "twist" to include twine, so I simply looped a bit of twine along the page behind a couple of my butterfly embellishments.

The girls at ~Lets Blog are celebrating Sweetest Day, so I made a quick little card for my sweet. I wrote the word "sweet" on a simple cardstock tag, and highlighted the word, as well as the edges of the tag, with a grey marker.

And finally, there's always a great challenge up at Triplicate Trials Tuesdays, here's the LO I created for the challenge #10. The colors to use were Navy and Khaki, the theme was fashion, and there was a fun sketch to play with too.

A New Challenge at the Triple T blog!

It's Tuesday, time for a new challenge at Triplicate Trials Tuesday! This time around we;re challenged to incorporate the colors purple, silver and misty blue; a fun sketch with a banner across the top, and the theme of Magic, Fiction and Fairy Tales. Here's what i came up with:

I didn't have any magical-themed pics to scrap right now, but I did have this cute pic of my kiddos playing at the waters edge while on a hike last fall. I decided to use the title "The Magic of Nature"- because it really is so magical to see how entranced my children are with hikes, exploring and everything about the great outdoors. I had a very pale purple that I used as a photo mat, journal strips and the pennants for my banner. But before creating those elements, I misted the paper with silver Smooch Spray to give it a metallic look.

Be sure and visit the Triple T blog to see all the rest of the fabulous takes, and join in the challenge too! =) T

It's a Sunshiney day at Triple Ts

Time for another challenge at Triplicate Trials Tuesday. This was my 2nd chance to design a challenge here, so much fun! It's a 3-part challenge, here's what you have to do:

And here's what I came up with:

One of my favorite things about participating in challenges is the way it pushes you out of your comfort zone. My own personal comfort zone is blue, kraft and red, definitely NOT black, grey and yellow...so just choosing papers and embellies was tricky for me! Then came tricky part #2- I didn't have any summertime pics printed yet, so I just decided I would "make it work" with the last day of school pics and focus on what we were all thinking on that morning, so excited for summer to start!!

Few fun things to note: I drew in the frame with a white gel pen on the black CS, and I distressed my grey CS with a sanding block to reveal the white core. My 3 yellow ribbons were all from the scrap bin, and none were long enough to go across the entire LO. To solve this problem, I trimmed about 1 1/2" off each piece and tucked just behind the photo. The rest of the 6ish inches I had left was tucked on the other side of the photo mat, and you have the illusion that it spans the whole way across!

The colors weren't what I would normally use, and the pic wasn't neccesarily a "sunshine" photo, but as I worked on posting the layout on my blog I decided that the end result, while unexepected, was good. Then...I looked closely at the photo...how silly of me. I never even noticed that my kiddos were wearing their BLACK and YELLOW Boston Bruins Tshirts that day (they had just won the Stanley Cup)...perhaps this was all "meant to be"?!?! =) T

Challenges:
-Triplicate Trials Tuesday sketch, color combo, sunshine theme
-Do You Stack Up black +pop of color
-Dream Valley Challenges distressing
-Scrap and Stamp Saturday friendship

Surf's Up at Triplicate Trials Tuesday!

Time for a new challenge at Triplicate Trials Tuesday, and I was lucky enough to be given the opportunity to design this challenge, so here ya go:

It's a 3-parter. First, start with colors water lily, chartreuse and burnt umber. Then add in the fun sketch I designed, and throw in the theme: Surfs up, the ocean, the beach. Mix 'em up and you'll have a fabulous project, here's what I came up with:

You can see I spread out the sketch to accompodate my photos, and I made it a 2-pager! *GASP* I hardly ever do 2-page layouts, but I think it worked well for this challenge! Want to join in? Be sure to visit Triplicate Trials Tuesday to see the rest of the DTs projects and link up your take on the Triple T Challenge! =) T
