I am seriously in love with sketches and things that make scrapbooking easier. So, I bought a kit from <a href="http://scrapbookgeneration.com/index.php?route=information/information&information_id=7" target="_blank">Scrapbook Generation</a>. It came with 2 sketches and the supplies to make one of them. I added a few pages from my stash and was able to make both of them. There were a lot of scraps left over, so I decided to make another page with the scraps.<br />
I decided to double up and enter the "bonus" layout in the <a href="http://stuckonusketches.blogspot.co.uk/2014/04/sketch-challenge-april-25th-2014.html" target="_blank">Stuck On U Sketches</a> sketch challenge this month.<br />
I followed the sketch pretty well, I think. I loved the circle on the sketch. Instead of a solid circle, I used different size brads to comprise the circle. For the circle template, I used a salad plate and just pencilled in dots about every inch or so. Then, I just added the brads to make the circle. I really like the way it turned out.<br />
Thanks for looking!<br />

Okay, so I've been gone a hundred years, or a year and a half. You know, one or the other. :-) I've been scrapbooking, so I do have things to post. I'll try to post more frequently in the future.<br />
<br />
One of the things I've been doing recently is participating in the Desk to Done challenges with <a href="http://www.iclassygirl.com/from-desk-to-done/" target="_blank">Iclassygirl</a>. The premise is that each day you spend 5 minutes choosing one facet of your layout and at the end of the week, you have a layout. One day you choose pictures, the next papers, and so on. I'm loving the challenge. On the final day, she adds bling and makes the page really snazzy. She has a Facebook group and everything. I'm telling you, I'm loving it! It would be great if you'd join us.<br />

Have you ever made a mistake that turned out to be better than you intended? It happened to me with this layout. I started with a sketch from <a href="http://classygirlmusings.blogspot.com/2012/11/outcasts-make-most-of-it-get-creative.html" target="_blank">iClassygirl</a></div>

Unfortunately, I hated the way it worked out. It looked unbalanced and unfinished and very amateurish. So, I thought, "I think I'll try my hand at doodling. I mean, I do the faux stitching all the time. How hard can it be, right?" Famous last words. I started with a little doodle in the corner coming from the buttons. HATED IT! Now I had nothing to lose, so I went nuts trying to fix it. I just started doodling long swirls and you know what? I loved the way it turned out. </div>

Hello again! I am so excited to show you these new paper piecings today! My dear sweet nerdy husband loves superheroes, so as a result, I'm always on the lookout for anything superhero-related. I made these for a custom order and I love the way they turned out. They were so fun to make<br />

According to my husband, anyone could be Batman. He has no super powers, so anyone could assume his identity. Just something to keep in mind when you decide on your secret identity. . . <div>

My husband tells me that these 4 characters will never appear in a movie together. All of them but one are Marvel characters. I can't remember which one isn't. If it bothers you, you might have to Google it. You can leave me a comment and tell me which one is the odd <strike>man</strike> superhero out.<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I also have Flash Gordon (Think Sheldon Cooper.), Superman and Robin. If you're interested in purchasing any of these, please let me know. I'm selling them for $4.00 each, plus PayPal and exact shipping. </div>

Have a great day!<br /><div>

Today, I have a birthday album I did for my son. It's one of my favorite projects ever. The theme for his 1st birthday party was a farm. I made barn-shaped invitations. I did paper-pieced animal picks to stick in the farm-themed food. And I made this album and hung the pages individually from a twine clothesline. I loved how it turned out! Unfortunately, it was too hot and we had to bring the party indoors. Oh well, we had a good time and the birthday boy was happy. That's all that matters, right? </div>

Anyway, the challenge at the Little Scraps of Heaven Design Team <a href="http://www.littlescrapsofheavendt.blogspot.com/2012/05/design-team-monday.html" target="_blank">blog</a> was to use only scraps to make a project. I decided to use my scraps to make a Little Monsters set. I actually had enough scraps to make 2 sets. I have a LOT of scrap paper. You can find the pattern <a href="http://www.littlescrapsofheavendesigns.com/item_75/Little-Monsters-Pattern-Collection.htm" target="_blank">here.</a></div>

I just discovered <a href="http://www.scrappydew.com/" target="_blank">Scrappy Dew</a> patterns. I always knew they did great tutorials, but I didn't discover till recently they did paper piecing patterns. They also just hosted a challenge. This is my take on their sketch.<br />

Here's my newest gift bag. I made it for a baby shower. The pattern is from <a href="http://www.scrappydew.com/" target="_blank">Scrappy Dew</a>. Here's a close-up of the paper piecing.<br />

Here's a couple of layouts I put together quickly. The first one is my little boy meeting his little brother at the hospital.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The second one is my little boy at the hospital with his stroller. He was ready to leave and take that baby!<br />

I love it when I get what I think is a great idea. I initially got this pattern from <a href="http://www.designsoncloud9.com/item_152/Pocket-and-Peeker.htm" target="_blank">Designs on Cloud 9</a>, and it is stinkin' cute! This is what it was designed to look like.<br />

I decided to cut up an old pair of jeans and use the pocket to make this instead. Here's the picture with the journaling card out of the pocket.<br />

I'm thinking 2 posts in 2 days might be a bit too much for my computer to handle. If you don't hear from me for a while after this, it might be because my computer smoked and sputtered and died from the shock! This page was after my youngest son was born and was meeting his MeMaw and PawPaw for the first time.<br />

Now, in the interest of full disclosure, I'm going to tell you, I saw this layout idea <a href="http://fishmememoriesandmore.blogspot.com/2012/04/lmcb-84-hopping-into-spring.html" target="_blank">here.</a> I just loved the sketch she used and she did a beautiful job of scrapping her pictures.<br />
<br />
I'm also going to enter this layout <a href="http://sketchesinthyme.blogspot.com/2012/04/thursday-takes-74.html" target="_blank">here.</a> The challenge was to use the sketch they provided to make a layout.<br />
Here's the sketch:<br />

</div>Okay, so I hate it when a blogger keeps apologizing for not posting more frequently, but I'm going to have to do it all over again. I'm not very good at organization and sometimes I go for a long time without realizing what I haven't accomplished. I'll attempt to do better, okay?<div>Here's a new project I made using the Feeling Froggy pattern from <a href="http://www.littlescrapsofheavendesigns.com/item_91/Feeling-Froggy-Pattern-Collection.htm" target="_blank">Little Scraps of Heaven Designs</a>.

If you read my last <a href="http://www.iturnedoffthetv.blogspot.com/2012/03/sketch-challenge-and-bap.html" target="_blank">post</a>, you know I like bargains, so imagine my delight when I discovered <a href="http://pileitonchallenge.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Pile It On</a>. It's a challenge site where they encourage you to enter multiple challenges with one papercraft. Very cool, huh?<br />

I created this layout for the Little Scraps of Heaven Design Team Challenge <a href="http://www.littlescrapsofheavendt.blogspot.com/2012/03/design-team-monday_19.html" target="_blank">here</a>. This is the sketch. Cute, isn't it?<br />

<br />
I'm <strike>cheap</strike>, frugal. Bargains make me feel tingly all over! :-) I love when I can buy 1 thing that does the job of 2 things. It makes me feel smart, so I love the fact that this layout completes the requirements for 2 challenges.<br />
<br />
First off, I joined the BAP (Build-A-Project) challenge at <span id="goog_784669752"></span><span id="goog_784669753"></span><a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Creative-Kuts/130937843644274" target="_blank">Creative Kuts</a>. This week, they sent me the title, the grass border file and the flower border file and I used one of their paper piecings to make a layout or card. The really cool thing is if you join their VIP program, they send you a free file every month. I have a whole set of the bunny files I got for free. All I had to do was join. Easy, right?<br />
<br />
At <a href="http://amandascraftsandmore.blogspot.com/2012/03/getting-scrappy-challenge_18.html" target="_blank">Amanda's Crafts and More</a>, the challenge is to use a sketch to make a layout. That's it. I love that there's so much flexibility in this challenge. I've joined challenges here before and it's so much fun.<br />
<br />
Here's the sketch I used for this layout. I got it from <a href="http://4x6photosketchblog.blogspot.com/2011/02/12-x-12-64.html" target="_blank"> 4 X 6 Photo Sketch Blog</a>. She makes sketches using only 4x6 photos. This saves me so much time because I don't like to crop my photos, at all! Her site is awesome!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiW8gYp9VZqovhy3__VJd5EMDZLUfO8RgADVNcL8U5PEtmSWvq-gPdL7zIZx5lFZDX4KLuHp6833h-dVU2-4N_hcpFvn-Cz4MjgxDsFOBGk2_0zLHI5NFL6XT425CbtNInAxlHEFaH1Lq4/s1600/Sketch+%2364-4x6+Photo+Sketch+Blog.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiW8gYp9VZqovhy3__VJd5EMDZLUfO8RgADVNcL8U5PEtmSWvq-gPdL7zIZx5lFZDX4KLuHp6833h-dVU2-4N_hcpFvn-Cz4MjgxDsFOBGk2_0zLHI5NFL6XT425CbtNInAxlHEFaH1Lq4/s320/Sketch+%2364-4x6+Photo+Sketch+Blog.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
So, this layout satisfies my creative and <strike>cheap </strike> frugal nature! Love it!<br />

Oops! I'll try to do better in the future. Today, I'm posting as we're getting ready to go to my Grandpa's 80th birthday party. He was born on February 29, so he's only had 20 birthdays. This should be a lot of fun. My family is crazy...in a good way! LOL<br />
<br />
Today I have an altered notebook for you. The file is from <a href="http://www.scraptasticalkreations.com/" target="_blank">Scraptastical Kreations</a>. So simple and so easy.<br />

<br />
All right, that's it! I'm declaring a Valentine's Day re-do. My Valentine's Day didn't go remotely like I planned, which is why I'm posting the last 2 projects 2 days after Valentine's Day.<br />
<br />
So, here's my project and my rationale for them. I love sketches. I think they take the guesswork out of a layout and you can concentrate on the artwork and not the technical details. I thought it would be fun to make 2 different pages with one sketch and see what happened. I figured I'd do one more detailed than the other, with paper piecings and chalking/inking on the individual elements. I planned to do the other one more quickly, with ready-made elements. Boy, was I surprised. I did the page with the paper piecing (BTW- the pattern is from <a href="http://myscrapchick.com/dollardownloads.htm" target="_blank">MyScrapChick</a>) and it took so much less time than the one with the pre-made elements. I think I need to be more decisive. LOL<br />
<br />
I found this sketch at <a href="http://4x6photosketchblog.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">4x6 Photo Sketch Blog</a>. I love this site because I usually don't have room to crop my pictures after I take them. I try to get up close when I take the pictures, so there's not much room to crop.<br />
<br />
Anyway, here are my takes on the sketch above. It cracks me up how they both took on a life of their own and bear only a slight resemblance to each other. LOL <br />
<br />

Happy Valentine's Day Eve! I hope you already have your gifts purchased. Otherwise, you're going to be wandering around in Wal-Mart with a lot of other confused people. LOL<br />
<br />
Sorry I didn't get my project posted yesterday. My baby got a cold and we slept in the chair 2 nights. I use the term "slept" very, very loosely. Anyway, I just wasn't able to get yesterday's project done. I'll make up for it by posting 2 tomorrow.<br />
<br />
Today I have for you last week's Build-A-Project from <a href="http://www.creativekuts2.com/category_13/Valentines-Day.htm" target="_blank">Creative Kuts</a>. I'm late posting it, but I hope the girls from Creative Kuts will forgive me. I bet they will. They're pretty nice people.<br />
This was such an easy set to work with. I'm thinking this would make a darling gift box and card set for someone I know. Might just have to fill it with some goodies and take it to my Momma.<br />
<br />
Have a great day and don't forget about my giveaway <a href="http://iturnedoffthetv.blogspot.com/2012/02/14-days-of-valentines-valentine-mailbox.html" target="_blank">here.</a>Joannahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00139579322686297119noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6110053690204144647.post-65860765748877628722012-02-11T23:45:00.000-06:002012-02-11T23:45:57.126-06:0014 Days of Valentines-Chocoholic Layout<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgufaAGd1RiBL1XTl8bwQkhV_CK4YEF4ysj0RB2zw1JqzpK95vVfxY7n4IqKbBVk-AMcxZBrLz3eLwaan-ikf5asqlZcaqCPKT7ZPKserv8sTwJ4d19-uR_UdW_4ZGzqkwnYZ2k1yqhcas/s1600/P1060021.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgufaAGd1RiBL1XTl8bwQkhV_CK4YEF4ysj0RB2zw1JqzpK95vVfxY7n4IqKbBVk-AMcxZBrLz3eLwaan-ikf5asqlZcaqCPKT7ZPKserv8sTwJ4d19-uR_UdW_4ZGzqkwnYZ2k1yqhcas/s320/P1060021.JPG" width="240" /></a></div> First off, I'm so sorry for the condition of this picture. I'm going to take another one tomorrow, hopefully. I have spent all day with my kids and I didn't get my project done today. I've had a wonderful day with my kiddos. At one point in time, my little guy was laughing so hard, he fell over. You can't beat that! I knew if anyone was waiting for today's post, they'd forgive me after knowing I spent time with my family.<br />
<br />
My project for today is a layout using patterns from <a href="http://www.paperpiecingsbynikki.com/" target="_blank">Paper Piecings by Nikki</a> :<br />

Welcome to Love Makes the World Go Round, but Laughter Keeps Us From Getting Dizzy Week. Try putting that on the front of a greeting card!<br />
<br />
I figure since this is a papercrafts and scrapbooking blog, I should probably scrapbook a little, right? So, here's my take on a sketch at <a href="http://littlescrapsofheavendt.blogspot.com/2012/02/design-team-monday.html" target="_blank">Little Scraps of Heaven</a>. Each week, they give you a sketch and you do your take on it. I love that because, you can just concentrate on creating. You already know where everything is going to go and you just make the elements. I love concentrating on the art of it and not getting too technical.<br />
<br />
Here's a closer look at the turtle:<br />

Happy Read in the Bathtub Day! Doesn't that sound like a nice thing to do today? It's cold and overcast here and I'd be glad to sit in the bathtub surrounded by bubbles and read a nice book. Reality is probably going to make that impossible, but that's okay. I'll play with my babies instead. That's nice too.<br />
<br />
Okay, today I have a card for which I made the pattern. Be kind. It's my debut into the pattern world. The idea is not original with me. I actually got the idea from a scrapbook magazine and I can see some things I'd like to change, but overall, I think I like it.<br />
<br />
Inside the card is a pun. I think the recipient will forgive you for the pun, since it's a candy pun. Pop Rocks. Get it? Ha! Ha! (Aren't you glad I'm not there to elbow you in the ribs as I say this?)<br />

This week is International Friendship week. I hope you have a good one. I can tell you I've been blessed with several good friends in my lifetime. I hope you have too.<br />
<br />
One of the things I love about papercrafts is the ability to take what you have and make something you can use. That's what I'm showing you today. I have a card I gave my hubby for Valentine's Day in 2010. I used leftover letter stickers and made a ransom note Valentine. I crumpled and inked a background page. I wish I had a coffee cup stamp that looked like a coffee cup had been set on it. That would have been cool. Anybody know where to get one?<br />
<br />
Have a great day and don't forget to hug your friend today.<br />

I know you probably think that's a strange questions, but since today is Wave All Your Fingers At Your Neighbors Day, I'm assuming neighbor problems must be pretty common. I guess today is the day you wave at your neighbors instead of making rude gestures as they take out their trash. I'm telling you, I can't make these holidays up.<br />
<div><br />
</div><div>Today I have for you a jar that has a myriad of possibilities. This would be so cute as a "Reasons I Love You" jar. I think it would be fun filled with love-related quotes. It would make an adorable Valentine gift. </div><div><br />
</div><div>The pattern came from <a href="http://www.paperpiecingsbynikki.com/category_17/Past-Freebies-for-1.htm" target="_blank">Paper Piecings by Nikki</a>. She has some really cute patterns.</div><div><br />
</div><div>Have a great day and don't forget to wave at your neighbors...with all your fingers!</div><div><br />
