I needed a tag for a tag exchange for the August SALSA meeting - the theme is Dare to Dream.  So I kept it cute and sweet.

Halloween Card

One of my favorite holidays is Halloween - pumpkins, costumes, chocolate, tricks,treats, and flying bats.  I love Halloween in Arizona because it's warm enough to sit outside and visit with all the beggars.  The card is inspired by Challenge 51 at Moving Along with the Times - Things That Fly.  I was able to just pull itmes from my stash - which always makes creating easy and fun.  Also entering this card in Challenge #170 at Crafting From the Heart - Anything Goes.

Stick It Down Sketch Challenge using We Are 3's Little Star

Today I am sharing a layout for my grandson's scrapbook.  Sorry - can't share the photo, but he is playing with bubbles in their yard.  I'm using Little Star digital papers from We Are 3 for this album - fun and bright.  And I'm trying to keep this book simple, rather than embellish them all up for the many challenges I join.  I'm  liking the clean and simple look these pages have for a change.
My layout was inspired by the August Sketch Challenge at Stick It Down.  I used bubbles instead of paint splatters from the sketch. I love how my title turned out - went simple with a Cut 2 Print rather than layering - so much easier and has a nice clean look.

Were Are 3 - Ready for Christmas

Haven't made an Advent Calendar is a couple years - but I was inspired to make one when seeing We Are 3's new release Holly Berries digital papers.

Here's some close-ups.

Monochromatic at The Outlawz Challenges

Last week's Clean and Simple challenge at The Outlawz was monochromatic, and I couldn't resist playing along using scraps from We Are 3.  I haven't abandoned in about a month, so decided to make a set of six to abandon next week at my hubby's doctor's office.

It's All About Christmas in July

Just a fun Christmas card I made using Fairy Mail, a July Release from We Are 3.
I love the collage look of We Are 3's Fairy Mail digital papers.  I wanted to see if I could turn these papers into a Christmas card in non-traditional colors.  We are all used to the red and turquoise Christmas Decorations - and pink and white.  I was curious was I could do with brown - LOL!  I had loads of fun with this card!  The background paper is already a terrific collage pattern.  On top of that, I stamped brown snowflakes - and added a brown snowflake embellishment.  This card is quick and easy, actually - and I was having so much fun, I made three additional cards immediately.

My Monday Layout

Here's a scrapbook layout I made last night for my grandson - the last page of his current book.  This is one layout that just came together for me.  I always use a sketch of some kind - and mid-process, I get somewhat frustrated because it's either not enough or too much...and I never seem to know what to add or what to get rid of.  For this layout, however, it just all came together.  I always wish I could share photos of my wonderful grandkids - but can't do that.  The photo here is of my grandson digging into a plate of food - all smiles.  I try to always make the first and last pages of a book something special - therefore, the "Yummy Ending" title.  I have to laugh - I pulled out the green scalloped circle from a box of scraps - not even realizing until today that the wording is perfect for a food page....sure wish, though, he was home eating carrots!  LOL!
