Serendipity Scrapbooks May Contest Winner

2008-06-09T18:26:00.003-05:00

This layout was made for a Heidi Swapp/Cherry Arte contest over at www.serendipityscrapbooks.com The theme of the contest was "Wing & A Prayer" and needed to incorporate something with wings on it. This picture of my kids jumping off of some steps was perfect. The journaling says "May you jump into life soaring on a wing and a prayer."

Featured in Scrapstreet.com Magazine!

2008-05-26T16:59:00.003-05:00

Scrap Street Star Contest!

2008-04-19T10:35:00.007-05:00

I have been participating in a scrap contest over at http://www.scrapstreet.com/ for the past few weeks. We are heading into the final week, sure hope I make the cut on Sunday into the finals! Here's a peek at what I have did so far:

Friends: In challenge we needed to find inspiration from some fashions from Paris Fashion Week. I got my color combo from an outfit.

Dream: This challenge focused on photography. We studied the photography skills of Annie Leibovitz and took inspiration to snap one of our own.

July 4th: This challenge was focused on using stars.

My Girl: This challenge we needed to define what our style was and do our best layout in that style. I called my style "Shabby-Frilly-Flowery-Bling-A-Licious".

If you are looking for a great challenge or two to complete this week, head on over to http://www.scrapstreet.com/ and go to the Scrapstreet Star Forum and you will find a bunch of great challenges to participate in!

My little girl

2008-03-29T10:00:00.001-05:00

Well, guess who is turning 9 in a few days! This is my beautiful daughter Taylor acting as a model for me today!

Challenge layouts

2008-03-25T09:49:00.004-05:00

This was for a clear embellishment challenge. I used Heidi Swapp ghost snow flakes, a MME transparent frame, acyrlic letters and gems.

This is for a Bling challenge. I used two Prima Say It With Crystals flourishes, American Crafts glitter Thicker letters, Bazzill Bling bloom and Bling cardstock, clear Stickles on the green flower and rubbed into each corner of the background paper, and a Making Memories crystal brad as the flower center.

This one was for a "make your own embellishment" challenge. I did the flower by floding 8 circles to make the flower petals, stamped a circle of transparency sheet with Staz-on ink to mimic a Maya Road sheer journal spot. I also did the same to create the alphabet border. I cut the title letters from chipboard and covered with Stickles. The flourishes are 3 layers of cardstock to create the depth of chipboard as I couldn't cut chipboard with my QK.
