The Paper Variety - Sweet Sounds

The challenge this week at The Paper Variety is tic tac toe - include three of the items above across, up/down or diagonally. I picked the bottom line across - layout, bird and scallop for this layout of my grandson. Adding glimmer mist to the chipboard bird made it warp a little but live and learn. Of course I had to add bling - the bird's eye and the notes.

The Scrappiest #112

I know - a fourth post from me in one day. No I didn't make all these layouts this morning. I made these over the last few days and finally got around to entering them in the challenges. This sketch is from The Scrappiest. You know those blurry motion pictures you don't know what to do with, but don't want to throw away, well I used one of Charlie jumping into the pool for this layout. I went to cricutsearch.com and looked up water, wave and splash to find cricut cartridges with just the right designs. (Took three different cartridges.) If you haven't tried cricutsearch.com head on over.    

Sketchy Thursday entry - 3.24 sketch

For the sketch at Sketchy Thursday I made a layout of my grandson and my son playing on the floor. I was able to determine the month as October because "It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown" is playing on the TV in the background.

Papercraft Star entry - Loves to swim

The challenge at Papercraft Star this week is to use the sketch above. I turned the sketch and made a layout of my grandson swimming. He is so happy when we get a poolside room.



In the Mist

The challenge at Lasting Memories this week is to use the receipe - 1 die cut, 2 brads, 3 layers. I made a layout of my husband and I wearing stylish plastic raincoats on a boat trip at Niagara Falls.

While checking into the hotel last month we heard chirpping from a room off the lobby. Here is Charlie checking out the cockatiels. This layout is based on the March 8th sketch at The Scrap Room blog.
