4 Crafty Chicks Challenge: #119 Snowmen

I am so blessed to be one of the guest designers for 4 Crafty Chicks for the month of December! 

 

The challenge #119 for December 6th is Snowmen!  I was thrilled to see this topic, as I live in the mountains of NC, and we do have snow in the winter!

DCWV Snowflake Foil Paper

Close To My Heart Spring Iris Cardstock

Cricut Machine & Doodletype Cartridge

Mama's Boy: A Layout for Bird is the Word "Sweet" Challenge



Here is my entry for the Bird Is The Word "Sweet" Challenge:

 

 

I just love these photos of me and my sweet Mama's Boy together on the steps to my craft studio.

 I "popped up" scrap strips of paper from the collection, and trimmed individual font stickers in random lengths.

This paper collection by My Mind's Eye Sunny Day, is a sweet collection about summer fun, and frames the photos of me and sweet bug just perfectly! 

Title is in Me and My Big Ideas foil font chipboard stickers

Tiny journaling is in October afternoon font stickers

 

Fly over to Bird is The Word and join a challenge!

 

Enjoy!

I am very, very fond of distressing photo edges and paper edges, too! 

 



 

I like to use font stickers often, too, as my handwriting is unpredictable - and I like to trim them to different sizes! 

 

This blog hop was a true challenge for me, as I lately dislike having my photo taken!

I used these products to create this layout:

My Mind's Eye On The Sunny Side Collection

October Afternoon  Mini Market Red & Cream tiny front stickers

ATD Memento Yellow Foam font stickers

Stickles gold

My Mind's Eye Lime Twist Baker's Twine

Winter: A Layout for Frosted Designs & Bird is The Word



Frosted Designs Fabulous Friday Challenge for November 2, 2012:  Here is the sketch!

 

I work with lots of sketches, one because I love them, and two because I have so many pics to scrap that I don't have time to spend coming up with the layout on my own!  I loved all of the elements of this sketch, and was able to incorporate lots of techniques.

 

I also entered this layout in the Bird is the Word challenge for October 22, 2012: Spring/Summer/Winter/Fall

 

Here is their site badge if you want to pop over:

 

 

I used "Winter" for my title, and found a great quote about snowflakes! 

For this layout, I used these products and tools:

 

Echo Park Winter Park Collection

 

Bo Bunny Blitzen Collection

 

Pink Paislee Daily Junque

 

gcd Studios *retired paper*

 

Making Memories Noteworthy SPiral Journaling Books 

 

American Crafts thickers Jewelry Box Metallic Silver
