Peek

This is my take on the sketch from Once Upon A Sketch. The challenge also included handwritten journaling of at least 25 words. This is my favorite picture of my mother-in-law's aunt because my mother-in-law's mother is seen thru the window.  I titled it "peek" in negative and double layered the butterflies to continue the peeking theme. 

Siblings

Here is my take on the sketch that is challenge #40 at Papercraft Star. I turned the sketch 90 degrees to fit the pictures. 

Scrap Our Stash - March results

Yeah - I did good this month (after failing miserably in January and February). Purchased some silver glitter for 60 cents because I only had gold which didn't work with my project, and some embellishments at Goodwill and Michaels - spent under $2 total of those AND I know exactly what pictures these will go with, didn't buy just cuz I like them. The best part is I made 27 layouts in March. I even used up all the funky adhesives I had - the partial ones I had picked up at yard sales and Goodwill. Hop over to LaLa's World to sign up for April and check out how everyone did in March.

April Fool's Blog Hop

Welcome to It's A Joy 2 Scrap's April Fool's Day Blog Hop! I hope everyone is having a fantastic Friday! If you came here from Elaine , you are in the right place. However, if you happened upon my blog, please head over to It's A Joy 2 Scrap's blog you don't miss any of the fun.

For this hop, we were asked to create a project that "tricks the eye," or to make a spring project is nothing came to mind. I couldn't think of anything tricky so I made a spring mobile.

I used the April Showers cricut cartridge to cut the words Welcome Spring.

I used the Martha Steward butterfly punch and made 16 butterflies. I used the one inch xyron to add adhesive to 8 of the butterflies.

I used six pound fishing line and placed it between two of the butterflies (one with adhesive, one without).

I attached the ends of the fishing line to the Welcome Spring header and added another piece of line to use to hang the mobile. I hung it in my room. Right now the breeze comes from the heater vent, but soon will come from the open window. When I looked at it hanging I realized I did make a tricky project since the fishing line is nearly invisible and the butterflies appear to be flying.

Next in line is Darlene. 

BLOG CANDY - Sorry I don't have a picture, but I do have a RAK. I'll use random.org to pick a winner from all the comments and will post the winner on Monday.

The sketch is #113 from The Scrappiest. The pictures are of me, age 3. The journaling says "Who cares about pictures when there are cookies to eat." I've also entered this in Sketches In Thyme's challenge to use any sketch.
