ATC (Toucan Scraps)



Update ~ 1-8-21 
Many of the links were no longer blogs or challenge sites.
I removed them from the posts but do not rewrite the post
I made the ATC for the challenge at I Did It Creation challenge blog. Our sponsor this week is Toucan Scraps. The lovely paper you see in my ATC is from them. I have found a new love for paper crafting with these ATC's. They are so fun to make and if you haven't tried one yet you should. The size of an ATC is 2 1/2 x 3 1/2. Your ATC for this challenge must have Toucan Scraps paper or an image by them and is due by October 2nd at noon EST. There is an ATC freebie in the Stitchy Bear & I Did it Creations Crafting Boutique. Join in on the fun for your chance to win a fabulous prize. See my sidebar for other DT creations and check out all the deets that I may have missed 

Thanks for stopping by.

Scrapbook layout (wedding)

I made this Lo with the following sketch from Sketches for All. The PP red by Stampin Up, black with flower Deja Views and matting of the address is Recollections. It's hard to see but part of the stamps in the corners are heat embossed with red glitter embossing powder by Ranger. The flourish stamps are by Autumn Leaves. Ribbon by Michael's, sticker by Karen Foster, "Cherish" by JoAnn Fabrics. The clear photo corners are by Creative Memories because this pictures is a thank you postcard with writting on the back. Brad by Oriental Trading Co, paint by Making memories and ink by Memento and Versamark. The scallop edge is a trasnparency which I cut with decorative scissors, painted with red paint and then stamped on it. Tag under "special Moments" sticker is by TH and border stamp is by The Paper Co. Wow that was a lot to list. TFL

Vintage Mini album about me Sketch a thon


Here is the sketch for Sept 20th at Sketches for all for the September Sketch-a-thon. I used it to make another LO for my mini album at Sisterhood of Scrap. It was a challenge one of the members set for us by sending us materials to make a vintage album about our selves. I really had a blast making this album and was so glad I could incorporate the sketch-a-thon sketches too. Here is my mini album scrapbook layout.TFL

More ATC's

Here are some more ATC"s I made for a swap at Sisterhood of Scrap. TFL.

I made these ATC's for a swap at Sisterhood of Scrap and just loved they way they turned out. I Have a bunch more to share tomorrow. Basically I used the same supplies but just a little different for each one.  I must tell you if you are looking for a scrapbook community that is full of caring women SOS is the place to go. They are just a great group of ladies. There is a DT call going on right now too. Check them out.

SOS one hour challenge LO

Saturday night Sisterhood of Scrap held a one hour challenge and I thought I would share it with you here. Here's the sketch:
Here's my interpretation of it:
And here is the other side of the LO that I made afterwards.
The little squares on the circle say Ya Think? We aren't really Special Ed. It started as a bowling league for SPED teachers but has evolved into all teachers well everyone is welcome to play if you can make it there by 4pm. I thought these pictures of our bowling team member Tim were great with the marquee. TFL

Football Card made with fabric for the Sketch-a-thon

So today is my day for a card sketch at Sketches for All as part of our Sketch-a-thon that's going on right now. The projects are worth a second point if you use a back-to-school or fall theme. And here's what I did with the sketch below.

So here's the sketch:
What screams fall more than football? I made this card for Cards for Kids by using football fabric as my background. My mom found some pieces of fabric for me to use. That football is an old Creative Memories die cut and I colored the white in with a gel pen. Super easy:)
