Layouts to Share

Hi Scrappers!

I had a really good time Saturday!  A group of us girls got together and cropped to celebrate my friends birthday (and mine too)!!  I was able to complete 4 layouts but will only be able to share 2 with you today. :)

First off… here's a layout I created for Cheryl's It's Your Choice Challenge over at Sketches4All.  The challenge is to choose one sketch out of the three.  I choose sketch #2:

 

Here's my layout:

I used a Jillibean Collection.

 The second layout I created was for two challenges:

Fia's January Sketch Challenge @ Sketches4All

and 

Challenge YOUrself

Here is the sketch:

The challenge over at Challenge YOUself is One Little Word - choose one word  that you will focus on and reflect upon throughout the whole year and create a layout about it.  And as always… include a photo of yourself. 

 My word is SNAP.   I chose this word because I want to focus on taking more photos… and better photos this year.

Here's my layout:

 If you get a chance and would love to do some challenges,  please visit both:

"Love You" Layout

Hey All!!  

I had so much fun with this layout… and I actually love the way it came out. :) 

Maybe I love this layout so much because I love these handsome photos of my hubby!! ;) I created this layout for Scrap Our Stash's This or That June 15th sketch challenge.  The challenge was to use this awesome sketch by Brenda Ragsdale:

and to use either enamel dots OR sequins AND 2 different types of alphas. As you can see, I used enamel dots (my favorite at this moment) and my 2 alphas are mini October Afternoon alphas and American Crafts Thickers.  

Also, Scrap our Stash is teaming up with Child's Play Tie Dye Inspiration challenge.  Here is the photo:

I used the inspiration on my flowers.  I used mist and sprayed water to give a "tie dye" affect:

And lastly, Rachelle O. over at Sketches4All has a technique challenge. I have a few techniques on this layout - distressing, mists, stencils and texture (modeling paste).
