My Winnings!!!!

So a few weeks ago, I played in the Birthday Bash Crop held by {SAS}sy. Well I ended up winning. They had a jar with filled with balloons and you had to guess how many were in there. Well I guessed 48 and another lady made a guess of 50. So they put our names in a hat and drew out mine!!! There was actually 49 balloons in this jar.

Besides the games, there were also 10 different challenges for you to complete. For each challenge completed you had 1 entry into the drawing. From that 6 winners were chosen. I won again!!! I had such a wonderful time over there. As you can see I am still playing some of their other challenges. Well I ordered their August kit and my winnings came in the same box. So here are some pics of all the wonderful stuff I won.

I racked up on my goodies! Not sure what to do with all of it...lol. Can't wait to start playing with all of this.

 

YUM! Watermelon

My girls favorite thing to do is go to the Watermelon Festival in Grand Bay, AL. All you can eat watermelon! I started this LO a few months ago, but never ended up finishing it. I couldn't think of how to finish it until I came across the {SAS}sy Journaling Challenge Round 3 #1. For Round 3 it involves your Every Day Life. Well this challenge was to talk about food. Well the girls love watermelon and when it's in season we have to get at least one. So here is my creation finally finished!

Scrapbook Play Challenge

{SAS}sy has all sorts of contests and challenges going on all the time. They do rounds and have 6 challenges per round. So for the Scrapbook Play Challenge, their goal is to think outside the box. Well Round 10 Challenge #1 is to use fabric in a LO. Easy since I have several kits that Ashley gave me and they lots of fabric in them. So I did a Halloween LO of Lilybug and I from last year. We both dressed up as Snow White. She loved it! My white pen doesn't write well so I need to find a good one before I think about journaling.

Color My World Challenge

Well I am still enjoying all of the challenges and different events going on over at {SAS}sy! Well I am trying to finish my August Scrappy Challenge. The goal is to finish 10 {SAS}sy challenges and we can use the Birthday Bash Challenges. Well I did 6 for the birthday, Color My world round 6, and now I just complete round 5 challenge 1.

So for Round 5 Challenge #1 the goal was to use Red, White, and Grey as your primary colors. I finally decided to do a page using LaLa's Bridal Portraits.

I used grey mats, silver glitter marker, silver brads, and a black stamp.

Challenge #4 in the Birthday Bash!

So Challenge #4 was a little tricky for me. I had already done one pic of my Lilybug's baptism for SketchMania, but I had another pic I really enjoyed. The only rule to this challenge was that it had to have a cake in it. You were free to use your mind, but most people used birthday photos. I decided to give this second picture a try.

Well we caught her in the middle of the act, and she gave us this "deer in the headlights" look. It was too cute. So here is my LO for Challenge #4

Supplies:

BG Offbeat Paper

BG Offbeat glazed brads

BG Offbeat rub-ons

AC By the Yard Bubblegum Thickers

Challenge #3

I had such a wonderful, yet busy weekend with some fabulous ladies. Friday night was my monthly CM crop over at Bethany's house. Then Saturday, I decided to join in on the fun Adrienne was having over at ScrapAttackScrapbooking. So I signed up and started playing. I already showed you one of the fabulous LOs I did. Well here is another one.

For this challenge, your job was to make a LO using 5 different items. So this one took a little thinking on my part. It was fun! I finally got to play with my new FP Rusted Sun Colleciton.

1. Pattern Paper
2. Solid Paper (red mat)
3. Rub-ons (5 flowers bottom right corner)
4. Clear Overlay
5. Sticker (stripe border)

Well I am waiting to see what the results are to see if I won. The funny part is that I don't even know what the prizes are. It's just to be able to play with fellow scrappers. Hope y'all enjoy this one as much as I do.

ScrapAttack Birthday Bash!

Well Adrienne was talking about some of the great things she has gotten and done over at ScrapAttackScrapbooking so I have decided to join their group. They have an online store, message board, lots of challenges, blog, and a creative gallery. They offer alot over there. Well right now they are celebrating their 5th birthday with a huge event. They are doing challenges, games, and all sorts. The ladies have been really nice over there. So I have been playing "I spy" which has helped me navigate my way thru their store. I actually won a round! I'm not sure what I won but it was exciting just to play.

Time for challenges....I wasn't able to participate in Challenge #1 because it closed Friday and I wasn't a member til Saturday. That's ok cause there are plenty more to play along with. Well I finished Challenge #2 last nite. It was a dousy (so don't think I spelled that right).

The Challenge:

Here's a party cake to inspire you! I want to see projects inspired by this cake. You can take inspiration from the colours (remind you of any {SAS}sy colours?) or the patterns, or the shape - however it inspires you. Just please tell us what about the photo inspired your project!

Supplies:

Basic Grey Green at Heart paper

American Craft Thickers pink chit chat, leaf by the yard

Brown chalk

Inspiration:

This cake inspired me to do a page on my oldest daughter's favorite toy! Her godmother gave her this rocking horse and decorated it for her. The bow and stripes reminded me of the design on her horse. I also used paper that resembled the cake. I pick circles, butterflies (look like the bow), and bubbly thickers similar to the balls throughout the cake. I really like the way this page turned out and I hope y'all enjoy it just as much.

Great Things!!!

I have not had a chance to post some of my new LOs. I am going to a crop tomorrow nite and plan on doing some challenges and new LOs. I am sure to post some more this weekend so getting ready for some great pages. Thanks y'all.

I have found Mojo!!!

So I have been playing on SketchMania here lately. Well DeeDee has been posting her projects for Mojo Monday challenges. So I decided to give it a try. Most of the sketches are for cards, and as many of you know I am not a big card maker.

Well my dad's birthday is tomorrow and I needed to make him a card. I figured I could use some help. Here is my first Mojo Monday attempt. Enjoy!

Everything I used I have had for a while.

The only thing that I know is the blue stripes came from a Stampin Up pad.

Wish Me Luck!!!
