Scrap Challenge- Pinned Sketches

Every week i am posting a new challenge. let's get out of our scrapbooking "go-to-box".  Let's do less pinning and dreaming..... actually MAKE something.   even a little part of a project is better than nothing ;)

This week's challenge.... 

i heart pinterest.... except.... i always pin, and then never go back to actually DO them... sooo.. lets change that!
use this sketch as an inspiration- there are lots of options!

Scrap Challenge.. No cutting machines!

Every week i am posting a new challenge. let's get out of our scrapbooking "go-to-box".  Let's do less pinning and dreaming..... actually MAKE something.   even a little part of a project is better than nothing ;)

THIS WEEK'S CHALLENGE: 

since my silhouette decided to STOP WORKING today  this week's challenge is to create something WITHOUT the use of a cricut or silhouette or the like. let's go back a few years in time when we had to use non-electrical scrap equipment ( feels like the stone age, right???).
show me what 'cha got! we can do it!

since i didnt have my cutters, i decided to work on organizing!
my project this week is organization. i am going through and finally putting pages in albums, finding out what i am missing. i started with 2011....im through September! i have a few pics to print, a few pages to do, a few to finish... but oh my word does it feel good to have a plan!!!!!!

Scrap Challenge... Orange!

Every week i am posting a new challenge. let's get out of our scrapbooking "go-to-box".  Let's do less pinning and dreaming..... actually MAKE something.   even a little part of a project is better than nothing ;)


CRAFT CHALLENGE!!! 
*****make something where the main color is ORANGE*****
this can be a scrap page, a card, or even just a part of a project ( lets be honest, sometimes working on a part of something takes a lot of effort wink emoticon )
if you choose to accept the challenge... make sure you post pictures so we can all "oooooh" and "ahhhh". 
new challenge next week !


My orange project was this cricut cut! 
i am in a swap group where i send 10 of the same items to a hostess, and then get 10 different items back... since i was working on a "music" theme, i decided to use Orange in my swap!

In a scrapbooking rut? join in my scrapbook challenge!

I know i cannot be alone in this "struggle" !!! i get into a scrap-rut.... i make the same kinda layouts for multiple pages in a row, use the same colors, etc. i rarely go outside of my "box"
Anyone want to join me in a weekly challenge? Each Monday i am going to create/post a challenge -- complete the challenge and then post photos!  if we held each other accountable, then we should be able to go outside of out box and (GASP!) craft! 

these can be applied to scrap pages, cards, crafts, or whatever you want.... just as long as we are crafting, then we are getting somewhere, right??? 
who's in????

I started this scrap challenge on my local FB scrapbook group, so i decided to duplicate it here for a broader audience.  In order to catch up my blog to my challenges, you will see a few posts tonight with my challenges. :)

Happy scrapping!!!

Aime's custom candle lantern wraps and place cards

Nothing makes me happier than a repeat customer! Sure, i love "meeting" new people, but when someone comes BACK to my shop, i know they really liked our products and customer service enough to use us again and trust us for yet another important event! That just makes me smile :)
Aime is one of those repeat customers!

A few years ago, i made her custom printed wraps for candles-- and this past month, i had the opportunity to do it again for a birthday party!  I'm so thankful she sent me pictures from her decorated table and is allowing me to show them to you!

We made/designed the wraps for the candles- i think they are a beautiful accent for their table decor!  The candles are also functional as use of a place card and party favor too!  i love when you can double-dip functional and fun together ;)

thanks for shaming Aime! i hope your guest of honor had a great birthday party!

Kiwi Sketch challenge- "celebrate"

It's been WAY too long since i have...
1.) blogged
2.) had some kid-free time
3.) Scrap booked

Thanks to a Strawberry Shortcake DVD in the adjoining room, I decided to take off the afternoon from my normal responsibilities and fix my lack of all three :) ... and before you judge me for sticking my kid in front of the screen for a while,  i think i deserved some "me time" since i am 5 days away from my due date with Baby #3... and let's face it... free time is going to be a luxury i probably will not partake in too often ;)

So, with that, Kiwi Lane's blog and sketch challenge was in my radar!

Here is my interpretation!

The Wildcat Dash is the main fundraiser for my daughter's PTO- and I am so excited to be a SAHM to be able to attend these type of events ( and, of course, be "Mom-arazzi").  The kids have a great time running around the obstacle course to raise money for the school.  Go Cats!
