Happy Birthday Card

Hello!   I played two challenges and made a HAPPY BIRTHDAY card!

At Two Scrapbook Friends, Sharlene (DT) hosted May 5 for 5.  I signed up and in the mail, I got 5 surprise items.  I was to create something using the provided 5 items.

Here is the picture of the 5 items that she sent out.  The paper was double-sided, the other side was green with dots.  Very pretty patterned paper.

For this birthday card, I used the sketch from Card Patterns Sketch #167

Now, here is my HAPPY BIRTHDAY card!  It was fun creating this card.  

 I added a brown cardstock, Happy Birthday sentiment and punched two large butterflies and glued them up together.  I also added the small pearls for the body and antennae  for the large butterfly.  I used Tattered Angels mist spray for the small butterfly chipboard. I stamped "Let's Party!"

Thank you Sharlene for the lovely 5 items and Michelle for the sketch!

Memories and Watch out zoo, here we come!

Here is my double page layout focusing on our summer field trip to the Metro Zoo.  I did this double page layout for two different challenges at the Two Scrapbook Friends.  I also played the sketch challenge from Creative Scrappers.  It was #210 done by Kristine Davidson.

The left page is their MAY Product Challenge Kit.   It was fun!  The right page is for Christa's (DT) Crafty Challenge - Pennants.  Obviously, there are many pennants on this page!

I came up with this and I am pleased with it.

National Scrapbook Day Online Crop

Hello again, I am back!  Playing for the National Scrapbook Day Online Crop at Two Scrapbook Friends was fun!  I got to complete several layouts!

Shelby's challenge- It's so distressing!!!

It was fun to distress the paper to make the holes to show the fish in the water....

Joanne's Wild About Washi! Challenge

A new experience for me to use some washi tapes....  I taped up the half round banner and made my own two point banners.  

Carolyn's Paper Piecing Challenge

It was fun to piece many pieces together!  I used Three Birds in Parade Cricut cartridge for this cute bird!

Sharlene's Almost Magically Creates the Image" Challenge

For this layout, I used Julie Bonner's sketch.  I have moved the layout to left side.  I have added embellishments to the four corners instead of two as shown in her sketch.

It was challenge to wet emboss on this layout.  I wet embossed the flourishes. It was good to use this technique again!

Jayne's 'Have You In Stitches' Challenge

I stitched around the snowflake.  It was a relaxing project.

Christa's Wet n' Wild Challenge

  

I painted the Maya Road snow flake chipboard with some white paint, and then mist-sprayed, and tapped a paintbrush with blue water colour paint.  It was fun to see the outcome of the snowflakes!  Now each snowflake has more characters on them!

  

Clearly, as you can see, that I had tons of fun!  It was marvelous to play the challenges!

Friends Forever (Crafty Challenge)

At the Two Scrapbook Friends, Sharlene, a DT member, threw in a crafty challenge for us to use at least two border punches and to think out of box!

I wanted to try something different so I searched through the internet and found this cool technique.

Here is my layout.  On this layout I used four different border punches.  I love the outcome!  I used Shelby's sketch on this page too with some light changes...

Sharlene, thank  you for this awesome crafty challenge and I love it!

Thanks for peeking!

ME! Gallery Pick of the Week!

Two Scrapbook Friends have their weekly "Gallery Pick of the Week" on Tuesdays.  It was DT, Christa's turn to pick someone.

Christa picked this layout.  She stated

"With this past Sunday being Earth Day, this gorgeous tree on Laureen's layout and the colour scheme really made me think about our beautiful planet. Can you see the cut out in the tree's trunk? Wow! It also has great vertical lines, that super nice pennant piece and the button work too. Congratulations on such a great design Laureen!"

 I was surprised and thrilled that I got picked again!  Thank you, Christa!
