The <a href="http://birdisthewordchallenge.blogspot.com/2012/01/january-1-2012-new-challenge-word.html">Challenge</a> was to use the word "Promise" in a layout, so I have used this challenge as my promise to myself for 2012.<br />

For me distressing is quite difficult because I love clean straight lines, so needless to say when I sat down to do this LO I struggled for the first hour before I finally gave up fighting myself and just went with the flow, and it turned out super cute. <br />

I do have 1 more christmas card that I made for my BFF and I just love love love this card but unfortunately she reads my blog and I haven't given it to her yet so that one will have to go up at some other time. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Well I have to admit I have been kind of slack on the posts lately but so much has been happening, I have been swamped doing birthday cards (it seams like everyone i know has had a birthday in the last month) and i started on my christmas tags and cards so promise to post a few projects over the next couple of weeks. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The first one I want to share is the LO I completed for the <a href="http://another-freaking-scrappy-challenge.blogspot.com/">Another Freaking Scrappy Challenge</a> blog, I stumbled across this blog when looking through blog after blog after blog and the challenge was perfect. I had been wanting to do a LO of my favourite book for a long time and this challenge fit the criteria perfectly. So here it is, the book that I could not live without reading, and who am I kidding the book I wish I lived in LOL. </div><br />

I took some time and out went on my first overseas holiday to the USA with my husband and some friends. It was simply AMAZING, and needless to say I will have plenty of LOs using photos from my holiday posted soon enough. But for now I just wanted to share a card I made for my Grandmother to say Thank you. I used some bits and pieces I picked up from a craft shop while in the USA and a butterfly I had made months ago but never used. <br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">It was kinda funny because when I started this card I had a whole other idea in mind and was getting really frustrated because I wanted to used a really pretty piece of card stock I just loved, but I could not get it to work.

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div>I had a great time doing the blind scrap for Scrap Therapy with my BFF yesterday. I have had this photo of my nephew for quite some time and just love it, so I was wrapped when the LO all came together. I must give credit to my BFF you pulled me out of my creative black hole when I was feeling a little stumped and could not get the LO work the way I wanted it to. The sloshes of mud on the LO were her idea and I think they are what made it all work for me.<br />

I had started the LO as a part of the Scrap Therapy Blind Scrap but as I got going I started to take another direction with the LO so I never submitted it.<br />
<br />
The butterflies I made myself using one of my cricut cartridges and I just love them. Another thing I love about the LO is the distressed border I put around the page. I by mistake took a chunk out of a piece card stock and though what the hell, i'll just go with it and then realized it would make a great border around a page, and I was right. It really give page a little extra pop. <br />

Im not sure about everyone else but when you live in the same house as someone it is very difficult to spend hours making something without them seeing it. So with the help of my <a href="http://scrapasecond.blogspot.com/">BFF</a> I spent the evening at her house making a Birthday card.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBowaVnOMA1iuRU0pAW8RanBQdHgURMuJapOiV2yZJZm0Ky7oXRxa7zB9jUTfc1iioCNln1peqAwEhwpNNAyldRyAlJBerPHvbqrfdR03BhO_XNxb1wjuHiqMfBImEHLtCfDR4_G4Ajlg/s1600/IMG_1532.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="209" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBowaVnOMA1iuRU0pAW8RanBQdHgURMuJapOiV2yZJZm0Ky7oXRxa7zB9jUTfc1iioCNln1peqAwEhwpNNAyldRyAlJBerPHvbqrfdR03BhO_XNxb1wjuHiqMfBImEHLtCfDR4_G4Ajlg/s320/IMG_1532.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />
It turned out so cute, I even ended up making a tag to match. Then there was the cupcake surprise, I had to sneak into my craft room while distracting my hubby with all the Crime Channel he could handle watching, to make some cupcake toppers with the logo of his favorite Footy Team. <br />
<br />
<br />

The first one I wanted to share with you is a LO I started for a challenge blog, unfortunately I didn't get it finished in time to post.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRktCfrin6x6KbF_XxxP-JLzii8XHzeRfYGNMzJesMwOWYaxBBIFHfvNCfnzKdf0_eVKJIAAMHp7LVDfCqom8OTxxtm3V02uWc0wK32DsZZo1UOkUA3soyIAIX4C5hPXw3_yueJCUnxvc/s1600/DSCN1202.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRktCfrin6x6KbF_XxxP-JLzii8XHzeRfYGNMzJesMwOWYaxBBIFHfvNCfnzKdf0_eVKJIAAMHp7LVDfCqom8OTxxtm3V02uWc0wK32DsZZo1UOkUA3soyIAIX4C5hPXw3_yueJCUnxvc/s400/DSCN1202.JPG" width="393" /></a></div><br />
<br />
I used my new set of <a href="http://lawnfawn.blogspot.com/">Lawn Fawn</a> stamps "Admit One" in this LO to do the row of tickets at the bottom. I just love the stamps in this set.<br />
<br />
<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I also want to share with you the pin board that I made. I wanted something to put my test items and ideas on, so I made this little pin board in Black and White (to match with my little scrap area of course). </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">It really comes in handy, if I make something but am not sure where to use it, I can just stick it on the pin board to use another day. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I had such a great time making this, the balloons are from Lawn Fawns new stamp set Admit One which I stamped onto colored card stock and then cut out and I made the balloon string by wrapping a piece of paper around the end of a pant brush. To get the balloon string to hold its shape I misted it with a little water and then hit it with a heat gun for a few seconds. It kept it's shape so well I even had to pull the curl out of it a little. <br />
<br />
The card turned out so colorful and cute I just love it to death and wanted to share it with you all.Shannonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10673254728500337015noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6177953998505800370.post-9823685878687714802011-07-31T17:46:00.001+10:002011-07-31T18:00:39.360+10:00Crafty Sketches July ChallengeI loved the sketch design for the <a href="http://craftysketches.blogspot.com/">Crafty Sketches</a> July Challenge and had really been wanting to try a Black and White LO, so here it is.....<br />

While I will not be in any sort of a hurry to do another Black and White LO, I absolutely <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>love</b></span> it and even got to try out watermarking with my embossing power.

For those of you who are like me and had never heard if this before, basically you are given a list of items you will need to complete a LO and then on the indicated day/time you go to the forum and are given a set of instructions one by one on how to put all the bits and bobs together to create you LO. You are then given a few days to finish it all off before they open up the Forum for you to upload you LO and check out how everyone else interpreted the instructions. <br />
<br />

It really was a lot of fun, I got together with my friend Nat on the night and we both had a ball putting together our very different designs. The <a href="http://www.scraptherapy.com.au/forum/">Scrap Therapy Forum</a> runs the Blind Scrap once a month so check it out, I promise you'll at least have a laugh.Shannonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10673254728500337015noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6177953998505800370.post-89719701514300795712011-06-13T08:06:00.000+10:002011-06-13T08:06:49.320+10:00Once Upon A ...Sketch June 1st ChallengeI am really have a great time entering my LOs in challenge Blogs. I find that when left up to my own devices I will ponder, and plod and could speed weeks playing around with the same LO, but with the challenges you have a time limit so I kind of force myself to make a decision and stick to it. <br />
<br />
So here is my latest entry for <a href="http://onceuponasketchblog.blogspot.com/">Once Upon A ...Sketch</a>, I loved doing this LO because as much as my sister can drive me crazy (and has done since birth) she is still my beautiful little Sis for life.<br />

I am now a big fan of using paints in my layouts and am also finding it very liberating to go wild with paint and ink to make my layouts a little less structured. I am still finding my way and figuring out what works best for me so I hope you like my new layout because I had so much fun making it.Shannonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10673254728500337015noreply@blogger.com0
