This is her sketch and this is the card I made...
I changed the orientation of the card but still used the basic sketch that she provided. I found some leftover stickers and papers from Echo Park in my wagon and I made this fun and simple card.
Thanks for the inspiration Regs! Now be sure to check what the other Girlfriends did with this weeks challenge and try to play along - it's a lot of fun!!!
I promised to share some photos, so here is just a sampling of the fun we had.

My youngest son actually spent some time on the dance floor with me (he is in the green shirt above) - which was a good thing because he had to teach me the moves! It was really too much fun and I don't think I embarrassed him (or myself) too much :)
All I can say is that the entire day was absolutely wonderful. There were many blessings that we each experienced as we shared this special celebration. The ceremony was traditional and beautiful, the food was over-the-top delicious, the DJ was incredibly good and everyone had a great time.
One additional fun thing they had was a photo booth! OMGosh! Can you say hilarious? I am going to have my son scan some of the pictures and I will do a post about them later.
Congratulations once again to John and Megan. May they share a long and happy life together ♥
I have really been enjoying the process of getting ready for this special occasion in our family. I bought a new dress, new shoes, new jewelry and I have an appointment made for an up-do! Yikes!
My men all have their suits, dress shirts, ties, shoes, etc., all pressed and polished. I can't wait to see them all dressed up!
I am hoping to take lots of pictures and I promise to post them next week. Now if only I could find the battery charger for my camera...
I thought about this challenge and decided to alter some stickers that I had.
The stickers that are available now are usually gorgeous just the way they are, but I do like to add a bit of detailing once in a while to really bring them to life. For my card I used stickers and papers from October Afternoon.
I added some Stickles (glitter) and Glossy Accents, a button to the flower and then adhered them to my card with foam adhesive for added dimension. I also put the plain speech bubble on my card, added a rub-on sentiment and then traced around the edge with a brown marker. I just love the difference these little extras make to a regular sticker!
Be sure to check out what the other Girlfriends have done this week. You are sure to get some great ideas on altering your embellishments!
We received some 7 Gypsies 12 x 12 black photo trays in our store and I decided to make one up to be used for a class. I had so much fun mixing papers, lace, buttons, stickers, twine, brads, stitching, quilting and die-cuts!
Each little 4 x 6 space became a special creation with each one representing something related to my home!
For an added touch I found some chipboard keys that I Glimmer Misted and hung from the top.
too.much.fun!
It is nice to work on our scrapbooks, but it is also nice to showcase our paper crafting outside the album once in a while. My finished project is going to make a perfect addition to the entryway in our home.
So, what special projects/crafts have you been working on besides your regular scrapbooking?
We can all use birthday cards so this was a fun and easy challenge. I decided to make up a card that is l-o-n-g and pretty.
I used papers and stickers from My Minds Eye, added some ribbon, Stickles and a pretty pin and there you go!
Why not make up your own Birthday card this week and join in the fun! Thanks for looking.
For inspiration I made this very Spring-y card to celebrate this fabulous time of year! I decided to add a nice big circle window that shows a delicious fabric flower that I made.
Window cards are fun and easy to do and they entice you to open the card to see what is inside! I haven't added a sentiment to my card yet because I am not sure who I am giving it to and for what occasion.
Why not join us this week at Little Red Wagon? I would love to see your window creations:)
Enjoy your Sunday!
You can just copy the image and make it any size you want. (I didn't make mine with the curved edge - I decided to just cut it straight across the top.) Then you can decorate it any way you like!
Have fun making your own bookmarks:)
For this challenge I decided to try something different and this is what I created.
I used some paper and a sticker that I had in my wagon, along with a bit of ribbon and one big, fat, paper-covered brad that I have had forever! Can you guess what it is that I made?
It is a bookmark! Isn't that clever? It is a little triangular pocket that fits neatly over the corner of your page and holds your spot in style! This little project is super easy to make and it can be really simple, like mine, or dressed up as much as you want. I also thought it would make a nice gift. I actually had my niece, Emily, who is an avid reader, in mind when I made this one.
So there you go! Why not take up the challenge this week and dig out your brads and make something awesome. As Deanna said, "Get 'em out and use 'em up!"
Thanks for looking~
When I saw the Twitterpated collection from Pebbles Inc. I knew it would be perfect for this challenge - and it was! I added some ribbon from my wagon and a little flower from Regan and I ended up with a very sweet card.
Now let's see what you can do with pink and green:) Hop over to Little Red Wagon to see what the other Girlfriends have created and join in the fun!
Thanks for some great challenges friends! It was a great way to celebrate National Scrapbook Day!
At Two Scrapbook Friends, we are holding crops and sales at our store, plus we are having some on-line fun on our Forum with special challenges posted by our Design Team and Carolyn and I. One of the challenges was to do a layout based on a sketch that I created. This is the sketch.
And this is my layout.
As soon as I saw this line from Cosmo Cricket I knew I wanted to create a page with it. But, I needed a photo with girls in it to do the design I had in mind. Thanks to my scrapbook friend, Darcy, I ended up with the perfect photo! Thanks so much Darcy!
It's not too late to join in the fun of National Scrapbook Day! Why not make something special to celebrate!
