NSD Scrapbook Challenges Blog Hop

Thank you for stopping in today.  If you are here for the Scrapbook Challenges blog hop you are in the right place.  If you haven't started yet, please go to Bynn's blog to begin. Today we are celebrating the wonderful, talented Pamela who began Scrapbook Challenges. She is moving on from the group and we will truly miss her.  She's been a wonderful inspiration to me and am so thankful for her giving me the chance to be on the design team.

During the hop you will see many of her sketches, old and new.  Each of the desing team (past and present) will be taking a different sketch to work on.  All the layouts are 8X8. 

We have a ton of prizes so make sure you check below to see how you can win them.

Here's the sketch I chose and my layout:

Sketch 164

Blessed is the man who trust in the Lord, and in whose hope the LORD is.

These cute clouds are from the Fiskers punches. 

I added some marker to the edges then glued on some glass beads.

The 6 month layout!!!

Do you ever have a layout in your head that it takes you AGES to get onto page?  Well, this is one I have had in mind for 6 months or more.  I've had the photo sitting out and had the title and some of the design but I just never seemed to want to "get it together". 

"Stud Making Spuds"

One thing that was keeping me from doing it was in my mind I was going to sew the banner together.  That means taking out the sewing machine and putting it away.  Ugh, I hate that.  If I can't scrap it on my scrap table then I don't get motivated to do it. I finally figured out a different way to do the banner.

I used Tim Holtz tissue tape!  It's also under the title "stud" and under the flower.

I used some paint on the lettering and paint to stamp with cardboard.

I have a technique challenge going on over at Scrapbook Challenges this month.  The challenge is for you to use one of the two techniques I used here in this layout.  Submit one that has a banner created by you or use paint to stamp with.  Easy Peasy :)

Sketch Challenge

If you are looking for a quick, cute, easy sketch to work with I have just the one!  This weeks sketch over at Scrapbook Challenges is perfect for you.  And, to top it off our sponsor this month is Jenni Bowlin

Word Prompt Challenge

Hi Everyone!  I'm here today to tell you about a new challenge over at Scrapbook Challenges.  It's the Word Prompt Challenge hosted by me. My challenge to everyone is to use the word "FIRST" in your layout.

Here are two examples from me. If you are interested in playing you can link up HERE.

This layout is a lift I did of a layout by Lisa Andrews of Scrapbook Circle. 

I really love it and figured why mess with success.

Materials: Girls Paperie: chipboard alphas, pattern paper; Pink Paislee: Cork; Twine; Jenni Bowlin: Butterfly; Fancy Pants: patter papter; Glitz: pattern paper

Materials Used:  Sassafrass Lass: felties, stickers, pattern paper, brads, letter stickers

Thanks for stopping in today to take a peek. 

Tomorrow I will show you my second SHE ART creation.

Altered Challenge at Scrapbook Challenges

Today's my day to give you an Altered Challenge over at Scrapbook Challenges.  This is a new category over at the forum and I'm excited about it.  One of my goals for the year is to do more "Altered" things so I'm glad this will help me on my adventure.

My challenge for you is the theme "Love".

You can interpret it any way any how by showing me something "Altered".

Here's my examples:

An altered Prima Flowers box turned into a Candy Box!

A $1 store frame turned into some fun Specimen Art.

Can't wait for you to come play with us, we have an awesome sponsor this month: HELMAR!

Do you want to know????

Who won my RAK from Scrapbook Challenges?  I used Random Generator to pick a number between 1 and 100 and the winner was 78!

Congratulation to:

AMY

Our Friend Carl...

So, I've been holding these pictures for quite a while hoping to get a chance to scrap them.  This was the perfect sketch, Sketch 230 from Scrapbook Challenges.

These are pictures of a friendly Cardinal that has been visiting us.

Sassafrass Lass paper, flowers, chipboard

How about a cute sketch?

Isn't this a cute sketch?  I didn't want to change too much.

This is sketch 229 from Scrapbook Challenges, don't forget to go upload yours.

Here's my take.  This is my son trying to run up a tree!

How did I get from that to this.....

Do you ever wonder when you are creating from a sketch how you finally ended up with such a different style?  This is how I felt today :)  Here's this weeks sketch from Scrapbook Challenges.

This is what I came up with in the end.  I'm not sure if I'm going to make an album this size or make this a wall hanging or frame it.  Any suggestions?  This is a picture of my cute niece and nephew.

Little Yellow Bicycle papers, brad and chipboard
