Design Dollies Challenge ~ Trifecta!!

Over at Design Dollies they post three challenges each week. One is a color combo, an element and a sketch challenge. You can choose to do three separate projects for each challenge or you can go for the Trifecta. Which is what I did this week, I combined all 3 challenges into one layout.

Here's the color combo:
Turquoise, White and Lime Green

The Sketch:
The elements challenge: Favorite Things. You could use lines from the song in "Sound of Music". Or list at least 3 favorite things (and not craft related).
Here's my layout.....

I glimmer misted my white paper (which is hard to see...it's a rainy day here in WI not ideal for picture taking!). I also took 2 big white Prima flowers and glimmer misted them (colors: Sea glass and Meadow green) The only colors I have that are close to turquoise and lime green;)

I wrote my 3 favorite things on a journal card that I hid behind my 5x7 picture.

The journal card says, "1. Girls in black dress with silver satin sashes.

2. Bouquets of flowers all tied up with string.

3. And me in my white dress.

These are just a few of my favorite things"
Thanks for stopping by and taking a look!!

ScrapFIT Workout #12

Over at ScrapFIT workout# 12 is Weight Lifting. You have to pick a LO that one of their talented FITgirls did from the past 6 months and "lift" it.

After much debate as to which LO I wanted to scraplift (because there are way too many wonderful LO's that the DT made). I finally decided on Aymee's (A Scraphappy Southernbelle) from Workout #6.

This is Aymee's LO from Workout #6.

I loved her LO, so I didn't stray too far from the original.


This LO also fit well with the challenge over at Pile it On! which is to use at least 3 ribbons.
Thanks for stopping by and happy scrappin!

Simple Christmas Card

ScrapFIT is having a blog hop!!! This is the card I made for their mini-challenge. I have no idea where I got this green paper but I thought it would make a nice simple card. The little red ornament is made from a scalloped punch which I embossed with some ZING! embossing powder and stapled white ribbon to finish it off. Nice and simple:) Oh and I hand wrote "Wishing you a Christmas full of sparkle and a New Year full of cheer!" on the inside (what a great sentiment).

So head on over to ScrapFIT and check-out their talented design team you only have until December 7th!!

Wedding Ceremony LO

I have one more page I'd like to share. Hollie has been working on her wedding album like crazy which has motivated me. It's been more then 2 years now and I still only have a couple of pages done....oh well life happens. These are pictures from our wedding ceremony. We were very lucky to have nice weather that day because our ceremony was outside. I also entered it in a couple of challenges...
Pile it on! - rub-ons (I used a sticker for the sentiment)

Gingersnap Creations - frame (the sticker is framed with a cut I made from Storybook cart)

As always thanks for stopping by!

Me & You

*I was picked for the Top 3 at Just Buggin'!!

Is everyone ready for some turkey and pumpkin pie?? Yum-yum!

Here's a LO I recently finished. It has pictures of my Grandma and me when I was only 7 months old and the other picture is of my daughter and Grandma at 6 months old. I thought it was so neat that I had pictures of both my daughter and I with Grandma at around the same age. I loved how A Scraphappy Southernbelle did the ribbon on her page the other week that I had to try it! And if you want to learn how do it too check it out here. She staples the ribbon down which gives it a neat look but my stapler wasn't cooperating so I opted to sew it down.
I also completed these challenges....

Practical Scrappers - stitching

Frosted Designs - paper tearing (it sort of hard to see but I tore the pink paper on top)

Order of the Opus Gluei - Sweetie pie (it has pictures of my daughter:)

Just Buggin' - stitching

Lots To Do - Open

Susie's Sassy Designs - Pink and Sparkly (I used Bazzills sparkly pink cardstock along with pearls)
Thanks for stopping by and I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving! Gobble-gobble!

Workout #7 R U rEaDy 4 SoMe FoOtBaLl?!?

Here's my page for Workout #7 at ScrapFIT.

For this workout this is what you need to do...
*I want to see a FOOTBALL or the football shape in your LO.
*I want to see some neat journaling.
*I want it to be family related since Thanksgiving is all about spending time with your family.

I did a LO of Abigail and Daddy watching the Packer game last week. She looked so cute in her little Packer outfit. Even though I hate their colors - green & gold. Yuck!

(It was a real nail bitter of a game...Packers lost)

Sorry my pictures look really blurry. It's a mostly cloudy day here in WI so I had like 2 seconds to snap these pics before the sun went away again.

I cut the background mat from Storybook using the Dandelon cut . It's a cute cut, and at first when I cut it out I thought it looked like pom-poms...but now the more I look at it. It looks like alien eyes lol!! (Probably didn't help that I put glitter and black gems on the ends..oh well!) I still think it looks cute and it makes me laugh.

Pictures of Abigail in "pre-game" mode.

Reading the paper...and playing with her blocks lol!



Man if they made footballs this cute, maybe I'd actually want to play football (giggle).
I did my journaling around the football, which is sort of hard to see in this pic.


Okay now I'm curious.....
Does anyone know that commercial McDonald's has out right now. It's a cartoon character and he's tailgating at a Packer game. He sings..."We're singing Go Pack Go every Sunday". It's such a funny commercial because who brings McDonald's to a tailgating party?!?! (No one I know at least) and the tune is very catchy.
Well anywho..my question is do other states have this same commercial but with there local team of course??
Please if anyone could tell me I would love to know. (Or if it's just a crazy Packer thing!)
(I also tried to find a link for the commercial but came up empty handed.)

Alright I'm done jib-jabbing so head over to ScrapFIT and check it out.
Thanks for taking the time to stop by and please leave a comment.
I love reading them!
