Craft Warehouse Scrapbooking Blog Party: Scraplifting Challenge

My next layout was for the Scraplifting challenge.  I had a hard time finding three pics to work together like Elizabeth Wiederspohn's original so I ended up using only one. 

Here's the original

Here's mine

Paper and embellishments are from K&Co.

Craft Warehouse Blog Party - It's A White Out!

Wow, I can't believe how many layouts I've gotten done in the last few days.  I need more of these challenges and deadlines to keep me going.  Here's my latest layout which I made for the "It's A White Out!" challenge.  I've done one other layout that was monochromatic and really enjoy these challenges.  Luckily I had some black and white pics on hand to choose from.  Here is my all white layout.

I used textured white cardstock for the base and punched all those flowers using a retro flower punch.  I then placed each flower on a foam mat and used an embossing tool to create a more 3 dimensional flower.  I created the wreath around the photo and added a rhinestone center to each flower.  The title is Thickers letters.

Craft Warehouse Scrapbooking Blog Party: A Sketch Challenge

I'm not a big sketch user.  I see them in magazines and don't really pay much attention to them.  So for me this was a challenge to see what I would come up with.  This challenge was to create a layout or a card using this sketch.

Here's what I came up with.

I used paper from DCWV Cotton Bloom Stack, American Crafts ribbon and stickers, paper flowers, rosette ribbon from the Dear Lizzy line, and a little bling from Kaiser Craft.

Craft Warehouse Blog Party - Handmade Flower Challenge

Here is a layout I made last year.  The flowers were made using the 3 different size punches for the I-Top tool.  I layered each flower with a large base, medium and small on top.  I then created matching brads using the smallest brads for the I-Top tool and used my fingers to slightly bend the petals up to add more dimension.  I then added Ribbon leaves to each flower. 

Scrapbooking Blog Party: Card Exchange

Okay, here are a couple cards that I'd like to share in the card exchange.

This first card I made last year for my Craft Warehouse Design Team Submission.  I have not brought myself to give it away, it's one of my favorites. This is a tri-fold shutter card using Bo Bunny paper (forgive me I don't remember the name).  The flowers are handmade rolled flowers with a touch of glimmer mist and I used the metal leaf embellishments from Tim Holtz. I also hand stitched the cross stitch designs on the top and bottom center. 

I made this card for my mom for Mother's Day.  I love how it turned out after I finally got the stitches straight.  The papers are from My Mind's Eye Lost and Found collection.  I trimmed all the squares 1" x 1" and hand stitched the stitching.
