Paper Issues Sketchy Saturday

Jennifer Chapin created this fun sketch for Paper Issues' Sketchy Saturday.  I decided to play along and am hoping that you will have a chance to do so as well.  You can play along on the PI blog.

I used awesome papers that I ordered from the PI store called Bella Rouge by Pink Paislee.  You can find all Cassie has in the store here.

Here is the inside of my card.  I love using my Silhouette to create sentiments.

Doodlebug Candy Halloween Purse

There is a really sweet woman who works at the quilt store that I frequent and she is my daughter's age and very good to me.  Always smiling and happy to see everyone.  She loves Halloween so I made this Doodlebug inspired purse for her.  I had such fun creating it and filling it with goodies for her.  I used a lot of papers from the Ghouls and Goodies line.  I am submitting this for the Paper Issues current Halloween challenge

It's Pumpkin Time

Paper Issues and SRM Stickers are teaming up for a challenge Witchin' You a Happy Halloween.  Both sites are having challenges for Halloween projects and I made something using a fun set called Monthly Memories for October from SRM.  You can play along with Paper Issues challenge here and the SRM challenge here.  You should play along with both as both sites are awesome with amazingly talented ladies.  I made a pumpkin with my Silhouette and then made a cute tag using SRM stickers on the tag.  Thanks for looking and have a great day.

Cuddles

Created this layout of Sean and Vanessa's visit to meet her newest cousin, Corbin.  They are going to make great parents some day and seeing Sean hold this baby so lovingly makes me melt and look forward to the day when they have their own baby.  I used the Doodlebug Essentials Hip Hip Hooray kit for this layout.  I was challenged to use products using the word labor.

We are Family

Here is my entry for the most recent challenge at Creative Scrappers.  I am so pleased with how this came out.  Love this Jillibean Soup Cold Avocado Soup line.  I also used some goodies from my Paper Issues Swag Bags which are just so much fun.  These photos are of my daughter and her big sister and little sister from her Georgia Tech sorority, Alpha Gamma Delta.  Hope you have a chance to play along with Kristine's latest sketch as well as enter her birthday sketch challenge.  You can find both challenges on her blog.

Pitch Perfect

Finally had a chance to post this entry for the Paper Issues latest challenge which is Pitch Perfect.  Got it in just under the wire.  I love this SVG Cuts file called Thanks for the Music.

Tip Toe Through the Tulips

I finally found some time for myself this week so that I could finish my entry for the Tip Toe Through the Tulips Issue at Paper Issues.  My friend Jamie Cripps has all these amazing flower and vase Silhouette files that I just had to have.  She gives easy directions to follow and they work up beautifully.  Also had such fun playing with all these bright and fun Doodlebug papers and embellishments.

Making Memories That are Shiny and New

I made this layout using the above sketch for the Shiny and New challenge at Paper Issues.  It is a fun one.  I used some gold papers to mount my photos.  Coll and I took a trip to Nashville over her fall break and we had such a wonderful time.  We have such fun together and just laughed and laughed.  Thanks for looking and be sure to check out the challenge.  Happy New Year

Smiling While Gettin' My Flair On

Here is my card for the Flair challenge over at Paper Issues.  Have you hung out there at all?  I just found the site and am having such fun getting to know everyone.  I love this Carta Bella set call Traditions.  You can check out their challenge here.  I used a sketch from my new Cardmaps 3 book.  It's awesome.
I am also submitting it for The Twinery's most recent Banner Challenge.  I used some of their twine on my tag.
