Friday Fun-- Rainy day pennys

It's finally here ladies!  The day we have all been waiting for! Not only is it Friday, it's Friday Fun day!!!!

So, because we all love to shop for scrap goodies, we must all save our pocket change to feed our addiction, right??!!

Well, I wanted to share with you all a cute little piggy bank I made from a recycled oatmeal container.   I used some old Dear Elsie paper that I happen to love, some old embellies, and a little tea dyed tag for my "Rainy day spending" label.

So, What do you keep your "Rainy day penny's" in?   Do you just leave them in a jar or do you have a special container that you made with your leftover supplies?    Please stop on by the forum and show us a glimpse of what you use for your "Rainy day" spending jar.

Happy Fun Friday!!!!

Wednesday CARD challenge LAYERS, LAYERS, LAYERS

Hi everyone! :)

I was excited about doing today's WEDNESDAY card Challenge! Today I challenge you all to use one of my most favorite techniques ever.... LAYERING! As you all know, almost everyone of my creations has some kind of layering on it. I love layering different colored patterned paper, cardstocks or embellishments on my work. So that's it, use some layering on your cards!

I can't wait to see what you guys come up with!

Make sure you share your cards in our LRS gallery.

Weekly challenge - 10/8

Happy Columbus day everyone!  Hope you are all having a wonderful, fun-filled, crisp Autumn weekend! 

 

While working with the October kit I decided it was the perfect kit for those Autumn pictures or outdoor adventures you have hanging around. 

 

This week I challenge you to make a layout with the following two things:

1) You need to include "Autumn" colors.

2) You need to have some kind of "Autumn" embellishment. 

That's it, a quick and easy challenge to get you going this month!



 

Be sure to stop back over to the Forum and post up your layouts so that we can all leave you some love on your beautiful creations!

Happy Scrapping!

Happy National Card Making Day!!

Happy National Card Making Day!  We hope you all have a beautiful day filled with pretty papers and crafting fun!!  

Thank you to DT member Nikki for a beautiful card as inspiration...check back with her next week as she is hosting the Card Challenge this month!!

First Peek at the DT Gallery

It's the 5th and that means that the DT has their first designs in the gallery!  All of us chose to play along with AnnaMarie's sketch challenge this month- just check out how many different topics and ways this sketch was interpreted!!  As a reminder, here is the sketch that AnnaMarie challenged us to use this month (LOVE it!  Thank you Valerie at Got Sketch!)

AnnaMarie's feminine and frilly take on it...just love all her layering details and sweet photos!

Tammy interpreted the sketch and created this adorable fall themed boy page...how cute is this???

I chose instagram back to school photos and to use ribbons instead of paper....

Karrie created this totally sweet baby page...I hadn't even thought about baby pictures until I saw how well they work with her page!!!  What a cute baby and title!!

Meg used some vacation photos for her layout...love how the paper really helps them pop off the page!

So you can see this kit isn't just for fall...it is totally versatile and works with almost any subject!  There are still some left in the STORE..run though, they won't last!  And we'd love to have you play along with the SKETCH CHALLENGE, too...see you on the message board!

October Sketch Reveal

Happy October! AnnaMarie here with the October Sketch Reveal. :) I am grateful to be given permission by Valerie Salmon to showcase this lovely sketch from the GotSketch? blog - and this specific sketch is Sketch #143 on the blog. In choosing this sketch, I was especially drawn to the smaller photos, the strips of patterned paper and journaling, and the tiny embellishment clusters.

And here is my interpretation of the sketch using the BEAUTIFUL October Main Kit and its Embellishment, Ribbon, and Alpha Add-Ons! :)

 

I remained mostly true to the overall design of this sketch, but swapped out one of the smaller photos for a slightly bigger one. I also substituted the pendants in the upper corner with a small cluster of embellishments more cohesive with the floral and feminine feel of my page. :)

I hope you are as inspired by this sketch as I was :) - and I especially hope that you get a chance to play along with this month's Sketch Challenge! Please be sure to post to the LRS Gallery and the October Sketch Reveal Thread when you complete your project...and I can't wait to see who plays along this month! Happy Scrapping! :)
