FINALLY D - EVEN AFTER SOME CONFUSION

I am so late with my A2Z of me - I was only up to D.  So yesterday, I decided to take D and work with it.  I didn't realize I was SO confused that I took the D and I missed it up with some C.  Of course after it was all done and I had taken a photo of it I realized what I had done.  I decided to take it apart carefully and then sleep on it for the night.  Today I decided to start over.  I got out a new set of instructions and got down to it.  My bubble wrap was very large so I took that as well as some that were not bubble wrap but were from the same family.  I put them all on the sheet.  Then I took the quotes and put them on.  Some were a tad wrinkled because of taking them off the other one but they worked.  Just for laughs I figured I'd show you what I did yesterday since I had a photo of it.

and now finally, late but here it is:

Thanks so much for stopping by.  Comments are always gratefully appreciated.  I may have more shortly so be sure to stop in and see.

ANYTHING SPRING BLOG HOP!

Welcome to the Anything Spring Blog Hop by the Scraps to Treasure Team.  Our goal is to create beautiful things using our scraps and to share these ideas with you.  

If you arrived here from  Robin C -http://cutonedesignsbyrobin.blogspot.com/ you are in the right spot.  Our hop today started at Pam L. ~ http://mzlavr2.blogspot.com/ so be sure to start at the beginning so you don't miss any great projects or blog candy!


For today's hop I decided to do a simple Happy Birthday card.  I based it on Sketch #88 from Deconstructing Jen.  The sketch called for round but I opted to do square with a roiund in the center instead.  I made a few modifications to the sketch but I'm sure you can still see the flavor of the sketch shining through.  I was able to use some bling and papers that have been in my stash for quite awhile.  

Here is the sketch I used:

And here is my card:

IT'S TIME FOR SNEAK PEAK FRIDAY IN THE STUDIO AGAIN!

I have had a lot of confusion this week but still was able to do a bit of creating this week and wanted to share it with you in Studio JRU Sneak Peek Friday!  I haven't been able to get to any art journaling yet but I did do some cards and layouts and even one tag.  Over the weekend I am hoping to get to a bit of art journaling.

Some cards:

A Tag:

And a Few Layouts:

I am still holding out on one more for the reveal over at Scrapping Everyday Miracles.  I should be able to include that one in next weeks Sneak Peek Friday!

JUST FINISHED ANOTHER!

Here is one that I did with Sketch #91 from Deconstructing Jen as well as #4 from Brandi's Pot of Gold Hop.  The instructions were to make a St. Patrick's Day themed project.

Here is the sketch I used:

And here is mine:

Hope you are having a great evening!

JUST ONE FOR NOW

I have been looking forward to posting this one which I completed the other day but things around here have been very busy.  Although the sketch I used for this was round I opted to make mine square but did use a round shape in the center.  I used Sketch #88 from Deconstructing Jen with a few modifications.  

Here is the sketch:

Here is my card:

I hope that you have enjoyed viewing this creation.  I should be back a bit later with more - at least THAT is the plan.  LOL!  Have a great day!

FIRST ONE FOR THE DAY

LAST NIGHT I WAS SLEEPY AND POSTED MY LAYOUT IN THE WRONG CHALLENGE.  THIS SHOULD HAVE GONE IN THE CHALLENGE BY SHE SHE FOR THE COLORFUL CREATIONS POT OF GOLD BLOG HOP CHALLENGE #1, AS WELL AS IN THE ANYTHING GOES #70 AT WORD ART WEDNESDAY.

HERE IT IS:

THANKS FOR STOPPING BY TO CHECK IT OUT!  HOPEFULLY I WILL HAVE A FEW MORE THINGS FOR YOU LATER THIS EVENING.

ONLY ONE TONIGHT

I was only able to complete one layout tonight but it was out of my comfort zone and it turns out I am pretty happy with it.  I started it for Random Wednesday on the Colorful Creations .  I used twine for Critter Sketch challenge #155 Use Twine, Kaboodle Doodle #162 - 3 Dimensional, There She Goes #198 Color Challenge - several shades of green, Pink Elephant TPE190 Happy St. Patrick's Day - use the color green, Shabby Tea Room #157 - Oh So Pretty in Pink, Whoopsi Daisy Buttons or Bows (or both!) and Word Art Wednesday - Anything Goes #70.

Here is the color palette I worked with:

some inspiration:

and here is my layout:

It's late and I am expecting a long day tomorrow so I will be off to bed.  Sweet dreams to all!  I'd love to hear comments if you have the time!

A LITTLE BIT OF SUNDAY

Today I was able to complete a tag and two layouts for Colorful Creations.  The tag was for Fi's St. Patrick's Day Tag Challenge.  The instructions were to use green and white and to do a technique like stamping.  I started by inking my tag with green distress ink and then used some gesso and a stencil.  I stamped and heat embossed the word Easter and the dove with the olive branch on green cardstock.  I used some bling, buttons, flowers, and fiber.  

Here's my tag:

Next I did a layout for the Member Spotlight challenge ending tonite.  I used some photos from the play 1607 First Landing that we saw back in 2009 at the Historic Villages at Cape Henry, Virginia Beach.  

Here is the sketch:

and here is my layout:

My last layout is for Libby's Song Challenge using the Bob Seger song Old Time Rock 'n' Roll.  The photo is my son playing air guitar in the ocean.  The metal banner on the top reads Rock Star as you needed to use a word or words from the song.  For this challenge I used sketch #DS90 from Decontructing Jen.  I inked the edges of everything with distress ink and I distressed my photo and the center blocks with my Distrezz It All.  

Here is the sketch:

And my layout:

And now I am going to head off to bed as tomorrow is going to be a long day!  Sweet dreams to all!

LAST TWO FOR THE NIGHT!

I was able to sneak in two more fun challenges for the Colorful Creations Pot of Gold Blog Hop.  The first one was for Tabitha's Inspired by Rainbows challenge.  

Here is the inspiration piece:

The center section of my card is actually a light purple but I just couldn't get it to photograph well.

Here is my card:

And my final creation for the evening was for Libby's Challenge.  The requirements were to use the word Lucky as well as to include ribbon, buttons and a banner.  

Here is my card:

Thanks for stopping by.  Don't forget - tonite is Spring Ahead and we need to move our clocks UP one hour (and we LOSE an hour's sleep!)  So, Sweet Dreams to all.

SHARING SOME FUN FROM THE POT OF GOLD CROP!

This weekend on Colorful Creations we are having our Pot of Gold Crop.  There are lots of great challenges there and we are giving you until St. Patrick's Day, March 17th to complete them.  Please be sure to check out all the fun and games!  Here are a few things that I have done so far:

For my challenge, I wanted you to be inspried by the colors of St. Patrick's Day - mainly green and to use some shamrocks.

The next challenge I did was for Janet's challenge.  Her Challenge for the Pot of Gold Crop is a Card Challenge.

1.  You must make a greeting card.
2.  The Card must have the color GREEN on it.
3.   You must have at least 4 other colors on the card – colors of the RAINBOW (red, orange, yellow, green, blue,indigo, violet)
4. You must have bling, stickles, or glitter because… ALL THAT GLITTERS IS GOLD

I chose to create an Easter card for this one.  My gold is the embossed cross.  

Next I was on to Roulien's challenge which was to use this wonderful inspiration:

 ~  Use 3 different patterned papers on your project;

~  Use 3 different colored embellishment on your project;

~  Use something gold and green somewhere on your page;

For Anne's challenge you needed to use the word LUCK or LUCKY and I created another St. Patrick's Day card using the word LUCK.

Hopefully I will be able to work on a few more challenges later tonite!  Hope you are having an awesome weekend!
