An entry into two challenges!

This is my first time ever attempting to enter multiple challenges in one blog post! I hope I do this right!

The first challenge I'm entering is the challenge found over on the Challenge YOUrself blog.

The Challenge is called: Oh Boy! and the challenge is as follows:

Create a layout about YOU AND THE MALE(S) in your life.  

This could be your father, grandfather, husband, son, a furry family pet. {yes... we love our pets too}.

Remember to include YOU in the layout.

Now, I don't have any men in my family, not even as pets, but I do have a boy that is my friend. :P


The second challenge I'm entering is the challenge found over on the Creative Scrappers blog.

This challenge is a sketch challenge, and the sketch is as follows:

My layout to enter for both of these challenges is below!!

I used the Hello Again collection by Carta Bella for this layout along with some lace trim, bling and glossy accents. :)

Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you've been inspired!

Stuck?! Sketch Challenge Entry

So, this is my first time submitting a layout for the Stuck?! sketches challenges!

This entry is specifically for the June 1st sketch:

For my layout I used Graphic 45's Sweet Sentiments collection mixed with a touch of Botanical Tea goodness and this is what I came up with:

Because this is a top down view, you aren't able to see the layers, however, the border is raised and so is the main photo cluster space.  :)

Anyway, thanks for dropping by, and I hope you were inspired to finish up those spring collections!!

Botanical Tea ATCs to share with you!

So, a couple weeks ago, I posted about being super lucky at winning Graphic 45's Mother's Day contest on Facebook here.

Well, I went to New York city a couple weekends ago, and when I came back, I was really hurting for lack of crafting. Don't get me wrong, NYC is a great place in which to be a tourist, but I lacked craftiness so bad, I bought a small mixed media pad, and some basic colours of paint on my second last day there. Lol
YEP, I really needed to get crafty. :P

Anyway, once I came back, I got to fussy cutting a bunch of the sheets of the pad that I had won from Graphic 45 because I thought I'd consider that pad of paper my fussy cutting pad. :) Well, if you take a look at what I won, I also won a pack of the ATC sized tags.

I love making ATCs. And with all the little fussy cut pieces, I decided to get to work on making some Botanical Tea inspired ATC cards! I also posted a photo to the Graphic 45 Facebook page, but here it is again in case, you're not a follower of theirs. :)

I had a blast making them, and I really enjoyed their shape!  I've never made an ATC with these shapes before! I think I'll be posting a video of them soon, but not sure when. If I do, I'll try to remember to link it here on this blog post. :)

Thanks for dropping by!
