Weekly Round Up

This weekend the Mojo flowing big time. Here are the pages I can share for now. Don't worry you will see the others eventually.

Beauties: This page I did for day 9 of the 10 day sketch challenge. The twist was to use bling and as you can see, I did!!! It is not often I get to do a girl page and use a bunch of bling!! I loved it.

123 Jump: This page is for week 2 of the monthly sketch challenge. The twist here was to use summer pictures.

Chasing Sarah: This page is another layout for the 10 Day Anniversary Challenge of the Monthly Sketch Challenge. The twist was to do a count down. So my twist was 5 pictures, 4 papers, 3 embellies, 2 ribbons, and 1 journalling spot.

This card I did for the Card challenge of at Fiskateers. I lifted this off of Sandy.

Fridays Sketch Challenge (a little early)

For the first Friday Sketch Challenge we are going to do something a little different. I am going to give you the sketches I drew this week. I want to see what you can do with them. If you do a page with any of these and want to show it off email a picture of it to me. I will be posting all the pictures next Thursday. Depending on how many pages get emailed I may even have a little RAK to send out. So get scrapping and email me at guy_hs@sbcglobal.net All pictures need to be received by Wednesday 8/18/10. Hope you enjoy the sketches.

A quick shout out . . .

A quick shout out to my dear friend Debbie aka I-Blog-For-Bling . . .

A huge thank you for all your help here on my blog! Shoot, "HELP" is not even the right word! Help would imply that she helped me revamp my blog! When in truth, she has done it all!!! She is the one who has come up with new ideas and redesigned. She is awesome!!!!

So, Debbie, hats off to you and for all the work you have done here! I appreciate it so much!

Love you girl!!

Inkadinkado:Circles & Dots-Review

This week I will be reviewing the Circle & Dots stamp set from Inkadinkado.

What I liked:

I liked that you can overlap the images and they blend together perfectly. I also like that it creates a fresh young look.

What I didn't like:

Honestly there wasn't anything to not like.

How I used it:

I used different colors of Timmy's distress inks (Gotta love Timmy!) to stamp on my background paper. I just placed them at random and in different colors. I love the effect that it had and because of that, I didn't feel the need to embellish the layout any more than that! It was the perfect touch. I liked is so much that I made 2 Thank You cards after using the same technique. Check out my layout of the boys and their ring pops below.

Weekly Round Up

I want to send out a big Thank You to my friend Clara who got me this Paper Loft Dude collection. I love the colors and think the collection goes perfect with theses pictures I took last fall. I have had such a great time creating with these last week. The pages were inspired by the sketches from Jami's Monthly Sketch Challenge at scrapbook.com. Last week marked the 1 year anniversary of the challenge and to celebrate there was a new sketch each day. With my busy schedule I was able to complete 5 so far. Check them out.

Back in the SCRAP of things...

I have heard the rumors...I am now here to tell you what really happened...

I was abducted by aliens and taken to their home planet, where they stripped me of all powers of communication and creative juices. They held me hostage until my friend, Debbie aka I-Blog-For-Bling, came to the rescue and paid the ransom and told them that I had been denying my blog way too long. They didn't have a choice but to release me!!! She is very convincing!!!

That is the real story! Seriously!!! No way that I could even make this stuff up!!!

So, I am back!! I am ready to share some new changes to my blog and even some layouts that I have had been working on prior to my kidnapping!!! I am still on the the DT at http://www.ifitsgroovy.blogspot.com/ Thankfully Groovy Deb was very understanding of my little predicament!! Please stop by there and check out what we have been doing and thank Deb for me!!

So new features coming to my blog are:

Mondays will be a weekly round up, where I will show all the projects I have been doing in the past week.

Wednesdays will be a product review to help aid your addiction to all the scrappy goodies the world has to offer.

Fridays will be my own version of a sketch challenge. I will draw up a sketch and show you what I did with it. If you want you can even send me the pages you did with my sketch and I will feature them here on my blog.

Blog Candy!! We all love goodies in the mail right....well leave a comment on any post and once a month I will choose one and send you something fun.

Last but not least is we are going to be posting the challenges from the ifitsgroovy.blogspot.com challenges here with a link so you can participate as well.
