SI330: Sydney at 1 1/2

Our dog has so much personality.

I tried to capture a bit of that in this layout.

The pictures are from 2007 when Sydney was 1 1/2 years old.

I used sketch #330 from Sketch Inspiration for the layout design.

I LOVE this sketch b/c it is perfect for using up a 6x6 pad.

I scrap boys so all of my 12x12 papers are in boy colors.

Miss Sydney likes a little bit more girly stuff... hee hee

Sketch #330

Supplies:

 Papers: MME Stella and Rose "Hazel" 6x6 pad and Bazzill background

Letters:  AC, MM and Recollections

Other: Fiskars punch, string, tiny attacher 

In addition the the Sketch Inspiration challenge, I am also entering this 
into Simon Says Stamp: Anything Goes Challenge

Christmas Card with EP

SO excited to find a Christmas challenge blog!

Thanks to Lauren Bergold for commenting on my blog.
I went to look at her blogs and found the Jingle Belles challenge
for Christmas cards all year long!

My card features Echo Park's Merry Christmas collection.

I cut the tree from Create-a-Critter cartridge at 3 1/2".
I loved this card by Jean Martin and decided to use a chipboard piece behind my tree.

It is popped in front of the Lacey Circle Spellbinders die cut.

The design is inspired by The Craft's Meow July Sketch:

I flipped it a bit and centered the image. 

Supplies:

Papers: Echo Park, baby!

Stamps: Lawn Fawn's "Pa-rum-pa-pum-pum"

Inks: Memento brown and Vintage Photo distress

Other: TH tiny attacher, Hemptique string, gems

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

Craft's Meow July Sketch Challenge

Jingle Belles: red OR green, not both!

Thanks for stopping by,

Belated Birthday Card

Sharing a belated birthday card I made for my brother-in-law.

I was a week late, so I thought a special belated theme cards was in order.

I started with the sentiment and snail for a CAS look. 
Then saw the Lawnscaping photo inspiration and thought I'd have
Mr. Snail carry BALLOONS and then added the hill for a belated feel.

The background was created with distress inks. 

Supplies:

Stamps: "Harold's ABCs" and "Critters in the Burbs" by Lawn Fawn

Papers: LF "The Bright Side" and BG "Olivia", Bazzill cardstock

Inks: Memento black, Distress in Faded Jeans, Broken China, and Peeled Paint

Other" balloon punch, Fiskars grass punch, MM wire, Hemptique string, Prismacolor pencils

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

Moxie Fab: Birthday Card
Lawnscaping: Photo Inspiration

Thanks for looking,

Kelly
