I {heart} Challenges...

I have been busy the past few days working on some Sketch Challenges. The first one is a layout I created for " White With 1 " April Challenge. For this challenge we were to create a layout using White + Olive +Twine. The photo of Myah was a little blurry when I recieved it from my SIL, so I took it into Picasa and put a glow on it so the focus was put back on Myah and not the blurriness. I love how it turned out.



Supplies used:
Bazzill Cardstock
Making Memories paint
Foof-a-la Buttons
Rub-ons/ Flowers/ Lace from my stash

This next layout I did for Week #4  April Challenge over at CITRUS TREE STUDIO. Citrus Tree is such a FUN, ACTIVE site with a bunch of FRIENDLY ladies and I have been having a blast getting to know everyone there. The pictures are ones that I took of Ajay when we were on vacation in Ohio last August. I just love how I captured his curiosity when he discovered rocks.



Supplies used:
Prima Clear Stamp - Brick
Inkadinkadoo- Flourishes dots Clear Stamp
We are Memory Keepers -eyelets
Tim Holtz - metals
Lil Davis Designs- Canvas phrases
Crafters Square - hemp cord
Tim Holtz - Distress Ink - Walnut & Tea Dye
Staz On Ink-Timber Brown
Tsukineko - Walnut Ink Stain Spritz
Bazzill Cardstock

Thanks for stopping by!
Happy Crafting!
