Summer layout

I started creating this layout in July for a challenge on the Core'dinations blog. I hated how it looked, didn't end up submitting it and just filed it away until now.

Here is the before.........

I pulled it out the other day because I would like to scrap our summer 2012. I added more blue and blue hexagons and now like it a bit more.

My first Liz Qualman sketch and Frosted Designs challenge

I was always afraid to try one of her sketches. This is the sketch for this week. I found it on the Amazing Grace blog



This is my layout loosely based on the sketch. My son is always creating things out of cardboard. He uses whatever materials are at hand; paper, elastics, brads, empty plastic containers, Kleenex boxes etc.

I am entering this layout at the Frosted Designs challenge blog. The challenge this week is to incorporate buttons onto your project.

The Pink Stamper Challenge

I tried this weekend to find the new Cricut cartridge Create a Critter in local stores but I didn't have any luck. Maybe I can win it with the Pink Stamper's Black, Pink and Green Challenge. You can find more info about the challenge here.

This is the card I made for a friend's birthday. To make this card, I used From My Kitchen to cut the glass but I trimmed off the straw and olive. I cut one layer in pink vellum to try and make the glass look like it was a pale pink. I also stickled the shiny spot for fun. The sentiment is printed from the computer and the pink frame is cut from Accent Essentials.
