Pink by Design Challenge 10, 11 and 12

Whew!!
Is everyone else as exhausted as I am?!?!  I decided to write the last three challenges all in one post.  Challenge #10 is the challenge I created called "Go Wild"!  I made a layout from our trip to the zoo!

Click here for all the details of this challenge and layout!

The next challenge is a Single Layer Card.  I realized that I don't have any background stamps (I am going to have to do something about that!!)  I did have this little gift stamp and sentiment from Take the Cake and It's a Wrap 2.  It's really simple but would make a cute little card to stick to a gift!

The final challenge of the day is "Inspiration is Everywhere".  You are supposed to find something in your home and use it to inspire your project.  Well, after being locked up in my craft room all day, my kids had a great time tearing through the house and leaving quite a mess!! (My husband was with them but there is only so much you can do).  I decided to use my kids as my inspiration for this card, LOL!
 
They can be like a crazy tornado but at least they have fun and I enjoy them immensely!!  Find Joy Everyday is from the set "Enjoy the Journey"!

Here are my two little tornadoes!! They were more than happy to hold the project they inspired, LOL!

I hope you enjoyed the challenges today!!  Made sure you join us 8p.m. CST for the U-stream!  We are going to let you know if you are one of our lucky winners!! Lots of prizes!!

Pink by Design Challenge #6

Hey Everyone!!
Hope you are all having as much fun as I am today!! You should see what my craft room looks like at this point, LOL!!  This next challenge is a sketch challenge!  Click here to see the sketch.  I have been working hard to scrapbook more so I used this challenge as an opportunity to get another page done!  I used the PBD stamp set called "Take the Cake"!

Here is my 4 year old holding up his birthday layout!!  He loves looking at his pictures :-)

I have had so much fun making cards and home decor projects, that I haven't been been very good about keeping up with my scrapbooking (which is why I got started in the first place).  I decided now is as good a time as any to get back on track!  I know it is pretty simple, but sometimes that is best ;-)

The new stamp set I get to share with you today is called "Tooth Fairy".  This is a super fun set that you can use for scrapbooking or making a special something for your child when they lose a tooth!  My kids aren't old enough to lose teeth yet, so I decided to make a layout of my little guy learning to brush his!  I love that there are so many options with this set and they are so unique!

Here are a couple close ups of the sentiments I used:

The teeth and toothbrush are from the Silhouette online store.  I hand cut the toothpaste tube and the "toothpaste" that is spilling everywhere!  I cut one of the teeth bigger and added lines so I can journal there.  Like I said, not super fancy but my son had a huge smile when I was showing it to him and that means the most, right?!

Here are the links to all of the sets being released today!  Make sure you check them out!!

Super Simple Layout

Happy Monday Everyone!
 I am so behind on the scrapbooks I have been putting together for my two little boys!  Slowly but surely I am catching up.  I started with scrapbooks that were 8x8 thinking they would be easier, but I am finding that I can fit a lot more pictures in 12x12 layouts.  This is my last 8x8 layout that I did for my oldest.  Nothing really fancy but I like how it showcases the pictures.  The sentiment is from Pink by Design and I used a couple different paper punches to finish it off!

I am finding that sometimes simple is better.  I am definitely looking forward to doing 12x12 layouts from now on!

Have a great day!
