the one that didn't make it.....

Working on a DT call....this is the LO that I started to make for the call...but it just wasn't what I wanted. I still like it, just not the right one :)

Sneakie Peek

I just finished up my cards for the next release of Sketches2Cards for the iphone, ipad or ipod touch. I can't share my cards, yet....but I can give you a few little sneaks :) 

As soon as the app is released I will get my cards up here to share :) 

easter baskets

Just some quick, and fun paper crafted easter baskets :) 

Made with BG Nook and Pantry 

I am searching for the tutorial I used to make this basket, but can't find it :( hopefully I will be able to update this soon with a link! 

True Scrap Giveaway!

Head over to Craftgossip for a chance to win a ticket to True Scrap!

Its Official! Eye Candy! & Loot♥

Okay, its official....I am calling my crafty Hiatus to an end! Its been a long few months getting the kids school into a great routine {we made some HUGE changes this year to our homeschooling} And I can no longer stand not being crafty! I miss the glitter all over my clothes, the paint on my fingers, and the deadlines of design teams {yes, I know....crazy lady misses deadlines.....they give me a push♥}

So here is a kick off to the end of the break...... I finally get to share the LOs that I created for Sketches2scrapbook {and awesome ipad app created by the talented Anam Stubbington}

You will have to check out the app to get all the yummy sketches :) I did take a sneaky little break from all craftiness in January..... I had the honor of working with Anam again and making a card for the newest version of her app, Sketches4cards 

To help get my mojo going again, I scored a rawkin giveaway {can't find a link to the blog that hosted this giveaway...so sorry, if you are out there, please let us know} from the Nicole Lombardo Esty Shop

Tried to get some pics of my loot, but my black table was not the best backdrop....trust me its awesome! I got a huge assortment of  diecuts, some as big as 12x12...at least $50 worth of product, even some fun rhinestone scrolls. Can't wait to get scrappy with these! 

....:P

Wow, I can't believe that I haven't posted on here since the end of August! The beginning of the school year really threw me for a loop. I am finally on top of everything  now, will soon be moved into our new home and setting up my new scrappy space. I am itching to get back to work, I need to paint or glitter something!

I do have one project that I haven't shared, because it was still in the secret stages ♥ I had the honor of working on Sketches2scrapbook. This is a new iphone app, hopefully releasing in November, created by Anam Stubbington. I got to work with two of her beautiful sketches, my art will be on the app as inspiration for the corresponding sketches.

Hopefully I will soon have some new art to put up on here :)

September Elite kit preview

Drum roll please................................

the September 2010 Scrapbookheaven Elite Kit

these amazing kits are on pre-sell and are almost sold out! 

The kit is designed to be a minibook kit, but I did layouts using the beautiful chipboard.

{cardstock is from my stash, not the kit}

this page was inspired by one of my hubby's books, you never know were you will find inspiration :)

I stamped the kraft paper with several different stamps and inks.

you can see a pic of the books cover HERE 

This LO is the sample for my challenge this month.... each month every DT member posts a challenge in the forum. This month I am challenging you to use the same picture on your LO more than one time. I will have several examples up on the boards, hopefully tomorrow :)

Sizzling Summer Sketch Crop

Scrapbook Heaven 

Welcome, friends! Are you already tired of summer? OR if you live on the other side of the world are you tired of the cold? Well, we've got just the thing for your 'summer/winter' blues! A SIZZLING sketch crop! 

We will be posting sketches through out the day on Friday (July 16) and Saturday (July 17) for your inspiration! AND because we wanna keep it fresh you will actually have 2 chances for the grand prize with EACH SKETCH!!!!! So, yup....you can actually complete each sketch TWICE BUT there is a catch....(you know there has to be a catch)....

With each sketch there will also be a 'challenge' posted. You MAY complete two layouts for each sketch this time! Your choice, one with the sketch, and then one with the challenge! BUT if you use BOTH of them for each time you MUST TURN,FLIP, or MIRROR the sketch! For example, if you use the sketch and the challenge on one layout then want to complete it again, you MUST TURN, FLIP or MIRROR it for a second one, even if you are just doing the sketch on the second one. If you are solely doing the 'challenge' part then you don't have to, you will just need to complete the challenge!

We wanna see you guys SCRAP!!!!!

Post a quick "hello" here to let us know you're playing.

Just a couple of guidelines:
~ New layouts only, please
~ Layouts must be at least 8x8 or larger.
~ Please upload your layout in the gallery and post a link or your image in the forum post.Layouts will ONLY be counted if they are linked in the challenge post.
~ No combining challenges or sketches!

My last ES blog hop :(

EverythingScrappn

Going out of Business Sale - Everything is 40% off.  This will run until July 31st.  If your order does not fit into one Priority Mail box, I will contact you about additional shipping charges; but as much as I can stuff into one box I will happily ship to you for my regular $5.50 charge. Orders may not be processed as fast as usual, as I am expecting a large number of orders to come in at once.  Orders that come in July 28th through July 31st will not be processed until my return from vacation on Aug 5th.  Feel free to forward this newsletter to your scrappy friends to let them know about the sale.

I am sad to see another online store go out of business :(  I great enjoyed my time on the ES design team, and will miss Heather and Suz {although I hope to still see them online, all the time}  Here are a few of my favorite projects from the last year working with ES.

There will be one more monthly challenge for the ES design team that you can play along with, on the 28th we will post a sketch challenge with a prize. 

July kit reveal

This was my first month working with a kit from Scrapbook Heaven, and it totally rocked! I worked with the elite kit this month, perfect for 4th of July or Canada Day pictures, it also works for summer photos. There are a few more kits available for presell, so don't wait!

I still have tons of kit to work with and a few more LOs to post, so check back in a few days for some more inspiration!
