Photos from my Bachelorette Party. My maids of honor went around town and left plastic eggs with clues hidden in various stores and public places. Each of the clues led to the next one, like a scavenger hunt. Two teams raced to finish first (of course without speeding). The mohs hid at various locations with water balloons and noisemakers to add to the fun.
All of the activities are journaled in the tree, better picture below.
I'm terrible at layering, but I tried my hand at it for the title:
Papers: background-Amanda Blu Rest-from my stash, mostly The Paper Studio
Flower-RAK
Background stamp on title- autumn leaves
Tree- hand drawn
Leaves-cut out from a Cricut Cartridge... something about words in the garden (borrowed from a friend)
tag- Creating Memories
Ribbon-leftover from my mom's wedding (23 years ago)

Challenges:
Stamp Something- pockets or tags-tag
Sentimental Sundays-inspired by a song-title-Girls Just Wanna Have Fun (also my hubby's least fav song)

Getting Ready

Although I'm still working on scrapbooking some of the before bridal stuff (bridal shower etc), I needed a break, so I scrapped getting ready.


Not a ton to say about these... the paper is Amanda Blu, the rhinestones were given to me, there are some stickles, they are more evident in the last picture.

Stampin' Royalty- bring on the bling
Creative Scrapbook Divas- Dec Challenge

I just got this new digital image and wanted to play with it. So here's what I did. The image is by April Lower. What a talented artist she is!
I colored it with markers and chalks. The wings are two colors of blue, but it is difficult to see in the picture.
Although you can see the flower fine in the other pictures, I didn't think the lace showed up very well, so I put in a close up of that! Both of the papers are from wall paper books, the flower and lace from my stash, the dashed lines and thanks drawn in by me.

Squash Book

I am working on my first squash book- a gift for one of my husband's friends who is getting married later this month. It took a couple tries to figure out the right way to fold it, but I think I got it now. I cut out the pieces, but am still working on the layout, how detailed I want to make it etc. Tomorrow I am working 12 hours and Friday another 8. I probably won't finish it until Saturday at the earliest, but I wanted to let you all know that I am still alive, even if I won't have the time to craft and post.

6 Months

It doesn't seem like it has been six months since we said 'I Do' but in a little less than a week it will be. I don't know what I would do without my incredible husband~he is such an amazing man of God! Enough of my bragging on him, here is the card I made for our six month anniversary.
The sentiment is a demo from Creative Scrapbooking Kit of the Month website. The image, of course, is from Digi's With Attitude! One of the reasons I chose to do a sappy card is because of this image. I knew I wanted to use it and finally found the perfect occasion! I'm not sure where the mittens are from, couldn't find it in my list. A close up of the image:
I made the boy darker, which is super easy to do with chalk, just add another layer! The sketch is my modified version of Let's Capture Our Memories (I rotated and flipped some of the elements). You can see some of the glitz I added below. Clear glittery embossing powder on the cuff of the mittens and the glitter on the paper. The blue on the mittens is also embossing powder. The snowflakes were won on Amanda's blog, or was it her facebook page? I embossed the edges to give them a little extra snowy look :) All the paper is Amanda Blu.

Snow Bear

This snow bear is from Stamp Fairy World. I love their images, and you should hop over and take a look. I colored it with markers and chalk.
There is glitter and buttons and a bit of attitude in the sentiment-to meet Glitterbabe's Challenge.
The sketch is Papertake Weekly. It has an animal and Christmas for Digital Tuesday. There is words for Lots to Do. and since it is Christmas, it qualifies for Stamp Something.
