And so the story begins....

First of all. Sorry the pics aren't very good quality. My dad's computer has absolutely no editing software so these were taken directly from my Iphone.

So for the August sketch from MySketchWorld. I decided to use EP Little Boy along with some thickers and mini alphas and stickles. I added my own touches to the sketch but think it came out pretty darn good. So here is the sketch from Lucy.

Well here is my take on it. I didn't have 3 small pics so I used 2 larger ones. I added a circle in the background instead of the square. I had a lot of fun playing with this one!

Close ups:

Thickers and Glitz designs mini alphas

button sticker border cut and black twine added with pop ups

Turquiose Stickles

Thanks for looking! I hope y'all enjoy this one. It turned out very cute. Just wish I had my laptop.

Glad to be back scrapping again!!!

NSD Blocking Challenge

So for this challenge we were to use the blocking or grid technique. I had seen this being used alot but never tried it myself. It was rather hard for me to do, but I managed it. This was my first attempt at blocking. So here is my attempt.

NSD Button Challenge

So I played along over MSW during their online NSD crop.  So one of their challenges was to use buttons in a LO by altering them in some way. So I used them as berries on a tree. Well here is my LO.

NSD FUN!

So this weekend we celebrated NSD (National Scrapbook Day). I had an all day crop Saturday with my CM rep and my scrappy girlfriends! We have been scrapping together for 2 years now! We all met at our first crop which was on NSD of 2009. It seems like forever. Well we all had a blast!! Also over at My Sketch World, they had an online crop. So over the next few days I will post the pics of my pages. I had fun playing at both crops. So here is one of my favs!!! This was one of the last ones I did during our 12 hour crop. I was kinda brain dead by this point and it turned out great!

The challenge was to........

Since our Crop begins on Mother's Day weekend, you need to create a layout about motherhood. It can be about You, your Mom, MIL, Grandmother, etc, but it should have something to do with being a mom, mother figure or motherhood in general.

Circle paper with a flourish transparency over top.

I added transparency embellies also.
