This & That

Good morning!
Lisa here with you today. I received my order from the My Scraps & More Store last week and finally had time to play with the new Echo Park This & That Graceful line. Once again, Echo Park did not disappoint me, the colors and designs are fantabulous! I LOVE IT!
Here is a layout I created using it:

Thanks for stopping by and sharing your day with us!

A little card sketch for you!

Good Morning and happy Tuesday!!

It's Janelle here today and I hope everyone is having a good day.

We are getting a bit of rain here, so that is good...I love the rain!

Anyway....

Today I wanted to share with you a quick and cute card sketch I made.

Here is the simple sketch:

I like to keep my sketches nice and simple, that way there is more room for you to interpret the design how you want. :)

And here are some examples I made with this sketch:

 This first one I made exactly like the sketch, and then this next one I flipped on it's side.

 For each of these cards I used the Dilly Dally 6x6 paper pad from My Mind's Eye's Miss Caroline collection.  I love these papers!  The 6x6 pads are perfect for card making, and I especially love this pad because it has papers that work well for either feminine or masculine cards.

Have a great day, and if you use this sketch make sure and leave a link to your project in the comments.  I would love to see your creations!

Saturday Share

Hi all! I hope that you are enjoying your weekend! Today was filled with errands, including the grocery store, which takes  F O R E V E R  on a Saturday! I didn't want to go but now I am glad that it is done and frees me up from that duty for the rest of the week!! Afterward, I got a little time to finish up the last challenge for our Idol contest. I used a bunch of old October Afternoon papers that I have been hoarding and combined them with a sketch from Creative Scrappers. I have to admit...I kinda like the end result!! What do you think?!?  Don't forget to visit the forums and check out the "Let's Lift It" crop fun going on. The first pre-crop challenge was posted today and it is a great one!

Now off to get comfy and, hopefully, enjoy a good movie!

Have a wonderful night and thanks for stopping by My Scraps!

Happy Friday!

TGIF!! So glad this day is finally here! It seems to have been a loooooong week. I am looking forward to catching up on a little sleep in the morning! How about you?

The last main challenge in our Idol contest was posted on Wednesday. This has been such a fun time on the forums. If you didn't get a chance to play along, there is still time. A $10 gift certificate will be rewarded to a random participate in this last challenge and if you play along, you will go in the drawing for the main prize as well! If that isn't enough to get you thinking about playing along with us, our month long March crop "Let's Lift It" starts tomorrow with pre-crop challenges! There are going to be a lot of inspiring pages created and we would love to have you join us!!

I will leave with a couple of pages I created during our Idol contest. I love how much I actually got done this month!! Hopefully I will get some scrappy time today, and through the weekend, to play with some of the fun, new papers that have arrived in the store!!!

Have a wonderful day!!
