Once Upon A Sketch...

Yay! I can finally share my LO using Teresa Collins Posh collection.

We are sponsoring OUAS site this month and here is their sketch for May 15th. Please make sure to add typed journaling in your page if you decide to participate in order to get the full credit for it.

Here is my take on the sketch!

I enjoyed making this LO so much! I was really excited when I got his line and I think it shows. This line is just GORGEOUS..GORGEOUS...GORGEOUS! Nothing else to describe it.

Here are some close up shots for ya!

Make sure you guys check out YSS and OUAS. Here is a link if you guys want to check out their DT and YSS DT's take on the sketch. HERE!

If you decide to do the sketch dont forget to add your link to both sites so you can get credit for both. There are some great prizes to be given away and I would love one of my readers to get it.

Ok, hope you all have a great day!

Posh, Family Dynamix and Spotted Owl...

What am I talking about??

Well I am a very lucky girl, cuz I got to work with some fabulous lines this month of May. Your Scrapbook Stash DT are so spoiled, I cannot ask for a better gig than this.

Thanks Erica! You are freakin awesome.

Ok, now that I got the obvious butt kissing done, let me tell you what I got to work with. Last month I was sent Posh Collection by Teresa Collins. I was unable to finish any work to qualify for my DT assignment in time so I knew I had to work it in this month. I manage to use it for our sponsored site this month (Once Upon a Sketch). This Sketch is so much fun, I had a great time working with it.

Here is a sneak peak since it goes live on May 15th so I cant quite show it to ya yet. Make sure you check them out, to see all their DT's and YSS DT take on the sketch.

Remember

Here is a card below that I can show you since it's not part of the sketch. It is a huge card and bulky too. There is a TON of dimension to this. I still don't know if I want to give this away it is just way to pretty. This was so much fun to make and easy too. Can you see how I embossed the background card with cuddle bug font embossing folder? I love the look of this. So easy but look so hard. HA!

Fabulous!

For my box this month I received Jillibean Soup Spotted Owl and Bella Blvd Family Dynamix.

Here is a LO using everything from Bella Blvd. I cut up the flowers from the pattern paper to create my own embellishments. I used some Creative Charms bling to add a lil somethin, somethin.

I mixed Jillibean Soup and Bella for this one. I cant believe how perfect they are together. I hand cut the water splashes and pop dotted them. So they stick out a bit more. They add just the right dimension to this page.

Well that's about it for today.

I will come back May 15th to post my other LO for OUAS using Posh line from Teresa Collins.

Hope to see you then! Have a great day.

Farewell Creative Charms BLOG HOP

I know you are here for the SECRET WORD for the Blog HOP. But first let me say a few words that I would like to say to Creative Charms.

I cant hardly believe it's time to move on from my position as one of the Design Team for Creative Charms. My 6 month term has been wonderful and feels like it was just yesterday. Wow! It has been really fun and was an amazing opportunity to get to be a part of this wonderful company and team. It is one of the best company to work for.

Thank you CC for giving me this opportunity. I feel so blessed to have been a part of your team for 6 months. I want to give a BIG, HUGE CONGRATS to the new girls coming in. You are gonna have a blast working for this company. They are just the best.

I have put together a quick review of some of my favorite projects I was able to create during my term as a DT. I will miss having assignments and due dates but I know I will continue to create with CC products cuz they are just too fun. So hope you enjoy my little show and tell.

Ok, now on to what you really came here for. You have until MONDAY to send the correct phrase to Midori (midori@creativecharms.com). I know I didn't give much info on this but the GRAND PRIZE is a KIT & DEAL OF THE MONTH. Whew! What an awesome prize.

But in order to get the correct phrase, make sure you head to Creative Charms main blog first and follow the directions and head to the DT blogs in order so you will have the correct phrase.

So if you have been doing it correctly, then you should have just been on Jennifer H.'s Blog and your are ready for mine, then here we go!

And my secret word is ON.

Now you need to head to Lisa Dorsey's Blog for the next word.
Good luck everyone!

Your Scrapbook Stash *Fancy Pants To the Moon*

I want to be honest about this month's DT Kit. I am not a Fancy Pants kinda gal, so I admit I was really nervous getting this line. BUT, and that is a big but...I really had a great time working with it. This month we were challenge to only work with pattern paper and to try to not put too much embellishments. They wanted us to use just paper as much as possible.

It was really a challenge to only work with paper and the line, but gave me a chance to work with old pictures of my little boy. Which I am always preaching to begin with, you know how I always tell you guys to scrap your old pictures as much as you can. So here's what I came up with.

Disney Space Mountain

Circus Fun

A very simple card using only paper.

You Are Out of this World

Another very simple card using only FP pattern paper

For You

I really had a great time working with FP To the Moon. Although I was scared and nervous it turned out to be great. Besides the fact that I was challenged to only using pattern paper, I was also challenged using a line I am not use to. But that is a part of being in a DT. You are constantly trying new things. Although my LO's are a bit busy this time around and then my cards are super simple I think it is something you guys can relate to and would hopefully get encourage to try yourself.

Thank you for passing by and hope you guys get to play with your old pictures and try a new line you might be afraid to use. I have tons more products left over so I am planning on creating more projects. I was also sent some Teresa Collins Posh so I might get some of that stuff done too. YSS is sponsoring a Sketch site next month so keep a look out for that.

Take advantage of the GREAT SALE we are having at the YSS store. There are tons of products up for grabs due to the great amount of new stuff coming to the store. Also if you shop with us this month we have a new Coupon Code just use April20 and you will save 20% off your entire purchase of all sale, new and pre-order items.

Have fun shopping girls.
