Unscripted Scketches #23

Hi all,

It's Saturday, so that means we have a new sketch over at Unscripted Sketches. I had a lot of fun with this one. I've had this 3D title around for a long time, but haven't had an opportuntiy to use it. Well, when I got this photo of Ethan, I knew it was time to find it.


Here is the sketch:

And here is my take on the sketch:

The scalloped mat and stars were cut with SCAL. Go on over to US and check out the wonderful projects these talented gals whipped up.

Hugs,

My First Unscripted Sketches Challenge

Hi All,

This is my first challenge as a DT member at Unscripted Sketches. It was so easy to create a layout from this sketch. Go click on the link to the left and check out the talented gals on the DT. Then go ahead and create something using this sketch. You can turn it any way and use it for any project.

Here is the sketch #22:

And here is my take on it.

This is my adorable great nephew again. You can just eat him up!! The pattern paper is about 10 years old, so I don't even know what is is called. I think it came from a pad back in the day when the edges were perforated. LOL But I loved it so I never threw it out and this was the perfect opportunity to use it. In fact, I was amazed that I could find it again.

All the cuts were made with SCAL...The peace sign is from a font called "My 70s Ding" ...love those dingbats. You can find it here

Hugs,

Marcy

NO MORE PAPER!!!

I'm sure you are like me and have more paper than your local AC Moore! I have purchased so much paper over the years that I honestly don't have room for another piece. Yesterday, I promised myself that I would try and use up some of my stock before I buy more.
Now, I have made this promise to myself before. I try to stay strong...and then I see a patterned paper or a DCWV pad, shimmering over there on the store shelf -- calling to me -- and I cannot help myself...maybe this time I can do it. My husband keeps threatening to send me to The Betty Ford Clinic for Paper Purchasers. LOL.
Anyway, I searched through my inspiration binders (whenever I see something that I like, I put it in a binder to look back on when I need some inspiration) and found this great card folder. I decided to make a few of these as gifts for some pals. Hopefully, I'll use up some paper and feel better.
There are four cards and matching envelopes in the set. The circle sentiments are computer generated.
If anyone is interested in the directions for this, just let me know and I will put them here.
Tomorrow I will post my first submission as a design team member at Unscripted Sketches. I am excited!!
Have a great night,
Marcy

Beautiful Boys

These are my beautiful great nephews. My heart melts when I am with them. Unfortunately, they live in Florida and I live in New York, so in between visits I have to get my fill by scrapping them.

Since I do all the scrapbooking for my neice, at least I get to see new photographs more often than not. Although...sometimes I do have to "shame" her into sending me new photos by saying, "If I don't get the pics...you won't get the pages!" That usually gets her moving to send me the latest photos.

Anyhow, I am also preparing for another Cricut Class I am teaching at AC Moore in September. Many times I get the same students that come back more than once, so I like to have some new layouts to show them. I made this page using only Home Decor. Even the title is from the cart.

Have a great day,

Marcy

Back to school

Over at the Cuttlebug Spot we are making projects that are school related.

This is my adorable great-nephew, Shane. He just started his second year of Pre-school. He is 2 1/2 years old and absolutely adorable.
I used Locker Talk for for the title and all the other cuts, too. Shane's name was cut with Cuttin' Up. Then I ran them through the cuttlebug (one of the new folders, but don't know the name) for a little added dimension.

I'm working on more layouts today, so I hope to post more tomorrow.
Have a great day.
Hugs,
Marcy

UNSCRIPTED SKETCHES

I AM SO EXCITED. I have been invited to become a design team member at Unscripted Sketches http://unscriptedsketches.com/ . It is a wonderfully talented group of gals from all walks of life who celebrate the joy of creativity. Some are passionate scrapbookers, some prefer card making--but all are wonderful paper crafters!

Each Saturday there is a new sketch posted. You are inspired to use the sketch any way you choose; for any type of project. You can Flip it, Rotate it…create a card or a scrapbook page with the sketch. There is no right or wrong way, as long as you are using the Unscripted Sketch as the basis for your creation.

I really look forward to getting to know my design team sisters. I've listed their blogs on the left, so when you get a chance take a look at their work. Each is so different from the last. I guarantee you will be inspired!


Over at The Cuttlebug Spot, we were challenged to create a project using the word HOT somewhere on it. I made this card for my 26 year old nephew who is HOT. We tease him all the time because he is a babe magnet...and knows it. So the card has a special meaning for us.


I used Martha's Drippy Goo punch again for the melting ices. I added loads of Glossy Accents to make the ices look all shiny. The ice pop came from Doodlecharms. I added some chalk to give the popsicle sticks some dimension.


Go on over and check out the other designs...very cool! Hee Hee

Baptism Card

I made this card for a friend of mine who's beautiful little girl was baptized today.
The butterfly card base was cut from a dingbat that I opened up into SCAL. (I just cannot get over how much I love those free dingbats.) I used the cuttlebug to give the butterfly a little more texture and then added Stickles for some glitz. I popped the cross and added some satin ribbon. I really like how it came out and my friend made a special call to tell me how much she loved the card. I was delighted she appreciated it.
Have a great night and I'll see you tomorrow.

Hugs,

Marcy

AND THE WINNER IS....

REDDY

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

I am going to email you now!

Thank you all for entering and following my blog. I appreciate it so much.

GOT ANOTHER ONE!!! WHO WANTS IT??

I found another one of Martha's Drippy Goo border punches and had to buy it. I felt compelled. Like a hidden force...can't explain it.

So first I thought I would offer it for sale since it is so hard to find, but then I realized....it is WAY MORE FUN TO GIVE IT AWAY...SO HERE WE GO AGAIN....

If you'd like this punch just become a follower of my blog and leave a comment under this post. If you are already a follower...thank you so much. Just leave a comment and you are entered.

I'll select the winner on Saturday by that random number thingy.

Please, Please leave me a way of contacting you if you win...I am still waiting to hear from Cheri-who won the last RAK. It is still sitting here waiting for her address.

Have an awesome day...I am off to work.

Hugs,

Marcy

You're Invited

This week over at The Cuttlebug Spot, we are designing invitations. I made this one for my neice to give out to her son's pre-school class for his Halloween party. Kelly will fill it with some wrapped candy when she gives out the invites.

I cut the shopping bag with TBBM. Again, I used Martha's Drippy Goo punch. (I love that punch!) The spider web is from PDDU. The little ghost is from those Dress Up button packages.

Go on over and check out the other invites...you'll get some great ideas from those talented gals.
