Chickwawa -Scrap & Stamp

This weeks challenge at Scrap & Stamp is a Sketch!! Thanks Vickey, for the fabulous inspiration!! If you would like to play along with us just use this sketch as your inspiration, and be sure to use a stamp somewhere on you layout!!

I followed the sketch fairly close but when I was putting the title on, it worked better if a reversed the pages.

These pics are from Easter. My sister in law had just got a new Teacup Chihuahua and the kids fell instantly in love!! Even Lee, who says we're not getting a dog, was loving it! They almost had their Aunty Kelly convinced that she should hand over the dog and let them take him home. The title I used came from Azelyn, she couldn't stop talking about the Chickwawa (:

Most of the products I used were CTMH. This is the 3rd layout I did using the Lucky paper pack (I'll post the others once I have a chance to take pics) The stamp I used for the title was Baroque Alpha.The only thing not CTMH was the Tim Holtz grungeboard.

Have a fabulous weekend!! I can't wait to see what you create!!

Snow Mischief

I know!! I know!! Who wants to hear that word!!!! Sorry!! but...

 Here are more pics from our ice fishing day on the March Break. I don't know who Aidan had in his sites but they were in trouble!! I think I used the sports setting on my camera to get these?? You'll have to click on the picture to blow it up so you can see his face in the big picture, he is such a little fart (: He even got my mom by accident one time, his face was priceless!!

Products Used: Bobunny Sunkissed dp, MS punch, random ribbon and buttons, CTMH cs and irresistable letters (these are fabulous!! you can ink them up any colour and they have different patterns)

My Princess

 These pictures likely aren't what you were expecting but I just thought it would be so much fun to use them (: When I showed these pages to Kieran he thought they were pretty funny!
 I started this layout at a crop I went to yesterday but I had to finish them at home this morning because I didn't realize I needed my liquid applique to do all of the cute little dots. This is CTMH's Sweetheart WOTG. The kits come with everything you need to make 4 pages and 6 cards (other than your inks and blocks) and they are perfect for day crops when you don't want to overpack. I think this was the lightest I've ever traveled to a crop (:
 All products used are CTMH. I had to adjust a few things to make it work for my pics but other than a few paper size changes I followed the instructions in the guide.

 Enjoy Dana (: I posted this one right away just for you!!

Scrap & Stamp Challenge - Old Supplies

 This week's challenge at Scrap & Stamp is to use up some of your old supplies. So take out that paper you've been hoarding, or maybe some bling you just can't stand to part with and whip us up a layout (: Just don't forget to use a stamp!!
 This October Afternoon paper has been in my stash for a bit, along with the CTMH chipboard and ribbon. The title was done using my new CTMH pennant alphabet, I absolutely love it!!! Anyone recognize the title??
 These pictures are of Azelyn and Aidan singing happy birthday to Kieran!!! They are such funny kids (:

To Do List

 So I did it again!!! I made this card for my Mom with the chocolate theme so that I could enter it in CCT chocolate challenge. I thought I had until 8 tonight to post it but it was 8 pm in Europe so once again I missed my deadline ): I can hear you laughing Roxy!!
 Anyway, it was still fun to make and I think my Mom liked it (: I got to use my new House Mouse stamp and my new SU chocolate stamp so all is good!! The dp is BG, cs is CTMH, flowers are random, MS punch, cuttlebug embossing folder and copics (: I just got these new chalk inks so decided to try them out to shade the background. It didn't turn out exactly how I had it pictured but there was no turning back!!

14/24 cards

Queen of Bling

 These are pics of Azelyn on her birthday. She loves to get all done up (: The little purple shoes and outfit were all gifts for her birthday.
 I don't remember what brand the paper is?? I picked it up from Deb and Alison at O.C. Scrapbookers quite awhile ago. I thought it was so pretty and I would find somewhere to use it (: The butterfly bling is Zva and the other one is just $ store. Cardstock, ribbon and stamps are CTMH, and I used the MS butterfly punch and border punch. My sweet friend Stacey did the stitching on the ribbon for me (:

 

Have a fabulous National Scrapbooking Day!!!!

Scrap & Stamp Challenge

This week at Scrap & Stamp the challenge is to make your own patterned paper. You can use stamps, ink, paint... Just have some fun and see what you can come up with (: and remember to use a stamp somewhere on your layout so that you qualify for the prize!! Once you're finished head over to the challenge blog and link yourself up!!

 Instead of printing out new photos, lately I have been going through all of the pics I have printed off and never scrapbooked. This layout is of Codie, and the pics are form about 5 years ago!!! We were out at camp and he was searching for critters as usual (: I asked him if he could remember what was in the bucket and he's sure it was a baby ling.

 I scraplifted this LO from the current CTMH catty. I wanted to use the February SOTM- Friendship to make my paper and I really liked the way this layout was put together. All of the paper, buttons, floss are CTMH. I used SU and EKSuccess punches, and chipboard from my stash.

Sorry the picture isn't fabulous but it was pouring rain here at the time so I had to take it inside.
