I ended up using four different stencils on this page , I love layering them.<br />

any room but the kitchen, no, ok the kitchen it is. That's the challenge at <a href="http://www.scrapitgirl.net/index.php/2013/10/01/kitchen-challenge-for-october-use-your-colors/" target="_blank">Scrap It Girl </a>this month Kitchen color challenge. I have to be honest the kitchen is not my favorite room in the house for a couple of reasons. The first being this room has not been redone, the wall paper you see in the photo below is 20+ years old, uuuggghhhh! The second reason, I don't particularly like to cook, lets say if it would to go in a top ten list for me it would definitely rank eleven and finally no matter how many times you do the dishes there is always more to do!<br />
<br />
I wanted to share this photo below because this was my inspiration (the wallpaper, ugh, I know) for my projects below and I wanted to share that this is my all time favorite dish. Yes that is a plate hanging by the red ribbon, yes the one with the big hole in it. Isn't it fabby? It is to me, not too many people have a plate with a hole in the middle. My son brought this home one day from school, they were doing ceramics and somewhere along the way something went wrong and his plate exploded in the center. He was quite disappointed and really didn't want to give it to me, I on the other hand loved it and thought it to be very special and this is where it hangs. <br />

So for the <a href="http://www.scrapitgirl.net/index.php/2013/10/01/kitchen-challenge-for-october-use-your-colors/" target="_blank">Scrap It Girl kitchen color challenge </a>I picked the majority of my kitchen colors which are blues, browns(wood), creams. I first made this card for the challenge but I still had some kitchen mojo left so.... <br />

So I thought I would play with the sketch at Berry71Blue, pretty cool sketch and along with their challenge you have to use some mixed media. I uses some gel modeling paste and a circle stencil to make the circles on the page I then inked them up<br />

This was so much fun to work with the wood, I love it. Over at <a href="http://www.scrapitgirl.net/index.php/2013/09/18/got-wood-new-challenge/" target="_blank">Scrap It Girl</a> this month there's a surprise mid month challenge Wood, yes the Back to School challenge is still in full swing until the end of the month, and now you can enter the Wood challenge too! It’s time to use your wood veneer pieces, wood chips, wood scraps, or do a home decor wood project.<br />
I got my album from <a href="http://www.genuinelyjanestudios.com/" title="GJS website"> Genuinely Jane Studios</a>. This was the perfect size and the wood is not to thick or heavy, I would highly recommend giving a wood album a try if you haven't already.<br />
You should head on over to <a href="http://www.scrapitgirl.net/index.php/2013/09/18/got-wood-new-challenge/" target="_blank">Scrap It Girl</a> and check out what the other team members made, very cool! and then get your wood on and enter!! If you don't enter you can't win , here is the fabby prize Kimberly is giving away<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
Now do you have some stash you have forgotten about or maybe a technique you haven't used in awhile if so check out <a href="http://ourcreativecorner6.blogspot.com/2013/09/forgotten-things.html" target="_blank">Our Creative Corner .</a> (I had forgotten I had the silver stick on words)<br />
<br />
Now if you have some Texture with a twist (choose your style) head on over to <a href="http://c2cu.blogspot.com/2013/09/challenge-3-week-1texture-with-twist.html" target="_blank">Crafts-Too</a>, I think the wood album gives this project lots of texture, I also added some gel modeling paste to a page and used a stencil, it's a little hard to see in photo (it's on the first page) and as for my style, I honestly don't know what you call this?? modern? shabby? eclectic? girly? whimsical? I think I'm all over the board, that"s how I would define my style.<br />
<br />
If you head over to <a href="http://www.simonsaysstampblog.com/mondaychallenge/challenge-stamping-on-anything-but-plain-paper/" target="_blank">Simon Says</a> and stamp on anything besides plain paper , like I did with the wood album you can enter the challenge there.<br />
<br />
In this album I chose to use some old flowers from my stash (at least old to me) the blue and white printed ones I have had for quite some time and I finally had the perfect project to use them on, go over to <a href="http://shoppingourstash.blogspot.com/2013/09/sos-119-oldest-flower.html" target="_blank">Shopping Our Stash</a> and check out some more floral projects.<br />
<br />
I also made my own zipper flowers I love that purple color, something new I hadn't done. If you make your own flowers go over to <a href="http://tuesdaytaggers.blogspot.com/2013/09/make-your-own-flowers.html" target="_blank">Try it on Tuesday</a> and enter there.<br />
<br />
and.....last but not least , are you ready to get Unruly, at <a href="http://unrulypaperarts.blogspot.com/2013/09/september-2013-reader-art-quest-1-3d.html" target="_blank">Unruly Paper Arts,</a> they got their wood on! Who new what you could do with wood, the RAQ1 is a 3d wooden project.<br />
<br />
Ok, so that's all for now folks, until next time happy crafting and thanks for looking.<br />

This is my youngest. ,my baby, not so small anymore. The ball field is his second home, many hours spent there. I used Studio Calico stencil and sprayed Tim Holtz sailboat blue colorwash on it, love the vibrant contrast. Then stenciled on some more with TCW chicken wire stencil, which to me looks like fence. Then added the border and embellies, super simple , when I was making this I kept looking at thinking I need to add more stuff, it's too plain but I really liked the visual impact the clean and simple look made, so I left it. Oh, and the red star that was my sons touch, I kept wanting to put a blue star there and he was insistant that the red was better, he won :)<br />
<br />
Red, White and Blue is the challenge theme this month at <a href="http://www.scrapitgirl.net/index.php/2013/07/01/julys-challenge-bring-the-red-white-blue/" target="_blank">Scrap It Girl</a>.

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">This was so much fun and easy to , I just hand cut all the flags. I punched the starry things along with the jagged edged circle so I am entering this at <a href="http://southerngirlschallenge.blogspot.com/2013/06/give-it-and-upper-cut-and-punch-it-out.html" target="_blank">Southern girls</a>. For the challenge at <a href="http://allsortschallenge.blogspot.com/2013/06/week-212-outside-box.html" target="_blank">All Sorts</a> you are supposed to think outside the box and use something that was not intended for crafting in the first place. I used the backing to some button gemstones that was made for garments , the three black circles on the page are the plastic backings. If you want a summer challenge there's lots of choices at <a href="http://2sisterschallengeblog.blogspot.com/2013/06/challenge-149-summer-fun.html" target="_blank">2 Sisters</a> . <a href="http://brownsugarchallenge.blogspot.com/2013/06/challenge-47-summer.html" target="_blank">Brown Sugar</a> , <a href="http://creataliciouschallenges.blogspot.com/2013/06/challenge-52-all-about-summer.html" target="_blank">Creatalicious </a>, <a href="http://creativecornerchallenges.blogspot.com/2013/06/summertime.html" target="_blank">Creative Corner </a>and <a href="http://deepoceanchallengeblog.blogspot.com/2013/06/challenge-54-welcome-summer.html" target="_blank">Deep Ocean</a> they are looking for Summer Fun, now I think my page qualifies we were at a picnic in the summer and having fun. Now at <a href="http://mytimetocraftchallenge.blogspot.com/2013/06/challenge-227-spots-stripes.html" target="_blank">My Time To Craft</a> they want to see spots and stripes, I did use some spotty and striped paper to make some of my flags. For some more stripes you can head over to <a href="http://simonsaysstampandshow.blogspot.com/2013/06/challenge-stripes.html" target="_blank">Simon Says</a> that's their challenge theme this week, I used several different papers with stripes on them. I used mist and a stencil for the background, I also sprayed the background with goosebumps then stamped the splotchy dots in the corners for a messy look so I am entering at <a href="http://anythingbutacard.blogspot.com/2013/06/anything-but-card-challenges-22-get.html" target="_blank">Anything But A Card</a> . I chose to use three items from the list of ten at <a href="http://desertislandcraftschallenge.blogspot.com/2013/06/dicc-56-bombshell-stamps.html" target="_blank">Desert Islands Crafts</a> challenge, I used punches, patterned paper and spray mist. This week Rick St Dennis is sponsoring <a href="http://www.craftdoormagazine.com/2013/06/ttcrd-challenge-june-25-july-2.html" target="_blank">Through the Craft room Door </a>with an anything goes theme. and last but not least in any way, I followed an awesome sketch from <a href="http://blog.scrapfriends.com.au/2013/06/sketch-challenge-14-june-2013.html" target="_blank">Scrapfriends </a></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">The cool thing about this page is the large photo I used for the background. It's actually printed on an 8x10 sheet of photo paper. I edited it in MDS so from the blue dots to the black and tan stripes is all one photo. I had been wanting to try this for awhile now, what I had seen done before was all digital and very cool but I wanted to try traditional, I'm glad I did. I also love the punch of blue color and my metal embellishments I have had since I got back into scrapbooking that I have been waiting to use on that one perfect project.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> This one I am happy with, see it's a challenge for me when I do masculine pages, flowers and ribbon are so much easier for me. This one I am pleased with.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">This month is die cuts at <a href="http://www.scrapitgirl.net/index.php/2013/06/01/use-your-dies-for-the-june-challenge/" target="_blank">Scrap It Girl</a> , I used a lot of Tim Holtz, I think in total 13 different die cuts. Go check out Kim's Blog <a href="http://www.scrapitgirl.net/index.php/2013/06/01/use-your-dies-for-the-june-challenge/" target="_blank">Scrap It Girl</a> there are fun challenges and prizes to be won and check out the gallery for some inspiration.</span><br />

I love how this picture spans the page this is a 12x12 page. I spritzed and sprayed, stamped and stenciled. I used six punches, 3 cirlcles different sizes, a ticket and 2stars different sizes. This was a fun page to make, I love the blue and green together and I think all the stamps I used are from Stampin Up.<br />

I created this page for the sketch challenge at <a href="http://mycreativesketches.blogspot.com/2013/04/april-sketch.html" target="_blank">My Creative Sketches,</a> I thought the sketch was really easy to work with and I love the flags. I made the flowers out of tissue paper, super easy. I love all the bright citrus summer colors. Here is the sketch I followed <br />

I used stampin ups chevron embossing folder that I inked and then embossed , with the diamond paper on the right I stamped it then embossed with dots folder. The patterned paper I can't remember who it's by, I know the frames are a different company than the black with dew drops as well as the black and white striped. I used a star punch, ticket punch (which I love) tag dies, scalloped and circle punch. I love how I only used black and white and red, wasn't sure I could do it. I used stamps from stampin up, martha stewart, 7 gypsies and technique tuesday. There is actually a tiny mirror in the upper left of the page there are two more on the bottom right but the way the pic was taken you can;'t even tell.<br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">W</span>hen I seen this sketch I immediately knew the photos I wanted to use and the colors. This is my daughter, my muse, (sometimes, other times, well let's not go there, tehe), for ability to have fun, relax, enjoy life and don't be so serious! She reminds me of this all the time in ways she isn't even aware of. I love these bold photos and these colors. This was an awesome sketch to work with thanks <a href="http://www.kellystarsallthingscrafty.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Kelly Starsky</a>, it made things so much easier. I have been working on making my own flowers, the larger ones here were made with Stampin Ups build a blossom punch. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Just a few notes about my page, I used candle wick to make the tassel, a couple of tim holtz dies, a paper doily I picked up at cvs I think I got about 25 for a buck, woohoo! I used some stampin up stamps. I love the tulle rosette with the button I made. Of course I used the paper draping technique, also some border punches and of course my angel images. </span><br />

I didn't put any words on this page because there is to much to say, this is a pic of my gramma with 2 of my 3 kids, the last pic of her that I know of before she passed. Even though there is a lot to say, for me there are no words necessary.<br />

I have used some misc paper on this one, along with washi tape, dies , punches, buttons. Underneath the picture it says smile but it didn't photo well.<br />
<br />
I am entering this in the following challenges: <a href="http://craftuscrazy.blogspot.com/2013/02/challenge-38-anything-goes-with.html" target="_blank">Craft Us Crazy</a> , it's an anything goes challenge with a fab sponsor. It's to die for over at <a href="http://4craftychicks.blogspot.com/2013/03/4-crafty-chicks-challenge-132-die-for.html" target="_blank">4 Crafty Chicks</a>, break out the dies ( I used an arrow die and tags die). Oh and I love Lori's color combo on her card. I decided to do this page in pastel colors with only a pop of red and the challenge at <a href="http://2sisterschallengeblog.blogspot.com/2013/03/challenge-134-pastels.html" target="_blank">2 Sisters</a> is pastels, I think this qaulifies. It's to die for as well over at <a href="http://stamptacularsundaychallenge.blogspot.com/2013/03/st1behaviorurlieooui-this-weeks.html" target="_blank">Stamptacular Sunday, </a>don't forget to stamp though (my stamping is the brackets around the newborn pic, the ducky on the tab, the grid on the arrow and the onesie on the tag). Last but not least I have started watching whats going on over at <a href="http://sketchbook365.blogspot.com/2013/02/march-challenge.html" target="_blank">Sketchbook 365</a> and followed this sketch for the challenge.<br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Here is my project for March's challenge at <a href="http://www.scrapitgirl.net/index.php/2013/03/01/recipe-challenge-for-march/" target="_blank">Scrap It Gir</a>l. This month is a recipe challenge, The challenge is simple.. 1 stamped image, 2 punches, 3 patterned papers.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I used one Tim Holtz stamp that I stamped on my cardstock then stamped several times on other cardstock in different colors and cut out the hat, wings and words and adhered them to the stamped image on the cardstock. I drew a box for my stamped image to sit upon. I used two punches both scalloped circles different sizes though, to make the flower. I used three different scraps of paper to hand cut the flags/banner, which is the same paper I used to make the flower. I inked the edges of the the cardstock and added some brads at the bottom to balance things out. I really wanted to stick to <u>only </u>using the recipe but the brads really balanced things out.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span>

I was ready to do a fun page, paint splatters and all. I used some fabric (new) for some of the background , I kinda thought it looked like a painters tarp (guess that's what they are called). I sprayed and misted and flicked until I was happy. Punched out some flowers, used my th tab die (new to me), stamped and punched the create medallion (again new to me), and I made something new I have never made , a paint brush from a ms punch, and a gallon of paint, looking good!<br />

I have created another page for my brothers album, you will notice there is no title, there is no journaling. He won't need it he will know who this is, it wasn't a special moment or birthday, this was just a picture I had snapped on an ordinary day. I just really like the picture. You see I have this incredible pressure I feel when I am making a page that I have to journal on them, I STRUGGLE with this, I am not a word person, you will notice this if you go back through my blog and if you read this paragraph I am sure I have to many and's and commas. I am a visual person. So this time I have no words and you know what I'm ok.<br />
<br />
Some things that I used, all the flowers are handmade, tim holtz die, tim holtz paper tape, fabric, stampin up stamps, lost and found buttons, recollections border punch and pearl tape border, glitz design stamps, tim holtz stamps, martha stewart punch, misc lace.<br />
These are the challenges I am entering:<br />

Here's a little bit about my project:<br />
I knew I wanted to use these colors white, ivory, grey, silver and blue. First I was going to make a tag and then that turned into a hanging picture so I stopped by the dollar store and picked up a cheap frame. I am sure I have one at the house somewhere put away in box labeled things to alter but I dunno where the box is, sound familiar. I stamped the glass with <span style="color: cyan;">silver staz-on</span>, if you look real close you can see, it doesn't show up reall well in pic. I stamped the vanilla background paper with flourishes using versa magic sea breeze. Embossed a frame for the 2013 which was Tim Holtz. Used Tim Holtz grungeboard numbers which I covered in <span style="color: cyan;">glitter</span>. The rosette is a Tim Holtz die I used some Stampin Up paper for that. The angel stamp is from Stampin Up, as well as the frame around it, those are backed by some Recollections paper and the <span style="color: cyan;">swirly bling</span> is also by Recollections. I also colored around the swirly frame in a gray color from Copic and added a little color to the angels as well using the same. The angels wings have <span style="color: cyan;">glitter</span> on them but it just isn't showing up in any of the pics. The white flowers are Recollections, the blue are from I am roses. The banner die is from Tim Holtz stamped with Stampin Up. Border punch on the bottom is Recollections. Misc ribbon and lace. Stampin Up doily die which I misted with <span style="color: cyan;">shimmer paint</span>. Finally the <span style="color: cyan;">shiny spray </span>in upper left is pieces I cut from a weighted balloon holder I had and added some <span style="color: cyan;">glitter </span>stars. I think I covered everything. :)<br />
