Sketchy Challenge

Good Morning!  Good Morning!

It's another Design Team Challenge Day!

Today's Challenge is a super-cute sketch

 from Liz at The Scrappiest.

This is the page that I submitted to ScrapFit  for the challenge

about my favorite little helper

 This cute little kitty came from the Cricut Lite Meow cartridge.  I've just been looking for an excuse to use it!

Supplies: PP:Colorbok, Cardstock: DCWV, Letter Stickers: Story Tellers Club, Yarn: Retail, inc.

This page was so quick & easy using the sketch that I had time to make a couple more. 

I decided to use the same sketch for all of them.

Supplies: PP, Stickers, Flowers: Cloud Nine Designs

 

This page was another challenge all together. 
 In the moving process, I discovered a stash of monthly page kits from Story Tellers Club. 
I belonged to them for a year or so in 2008, but hardly ever used my supplies. 
No idea why- they're as cute as can be!

I guess because they were stored out of sight, so I never thought to pull them out.

Well, they're out now!!

On this page, I challenged myself to not only use the sketch, but to use one of these kits-- and ONLY the kit. 

Every single item on this page (even the bling!) is out of the April 2008 kit.
And I LOVE it. 

 

The cardstock is hard to see in the photo, but it has a fabulous texture to it that I'm totally in love with.

Supplies: Story Tellers Club

You will definitely be seeing more pages using these kits coming soon!

My last page is my favorite.  

I wanted to do something for St. Patrick's Day and these photos were perfect!

 This happy little guy is from the Cricut Simply Charmed Cartridge.  He was just so cute I couldn't resist him!  He's the reason I wanted to do a St. Pat's page!

These little shamrocks made me so happy!  

I used a punch that I've had for so long that I don't even know who made it. 

(I think it's a Fiskar's but I'm not sure)

I can't remember the last time I used one of these little punches, so the fact that I had the opportunity, remembered that I had it & knew where it was, all at the same time has to be some sort of St. Patrick's Day miracle.

Supplies: Cardstock & P:DCWV, Letter Stickers: Colorbok, Punches: Fiskars & ?, Other: Stickles

4 pages in just a couple hours has got to be some sort of record for me. 

I will definitely be visiting Liz for more sketches soon!

Don't forget to visit ScrapFit (linked above) to see what a great job the other Fit Girls did with this one. 

Lots of inspiration there -- and an opportunity to win a great prize package from The Paper Trail.

Hope you all have a very happy Tuesday.

Closing Time!!

It''s DONE!!!  

Our closing is over, funding is final & the house is ours!

I'm so excited & so relieved that it's done.

I have to say, our realtor was amazing!  

(If you're in the DFW area, you can find Kamie HERE  

She's awesome to work with & we highly recommend her!)

She has been so helpful & honest and just delightful to work with.  

(The seller's agent, on the other hand....  

Well, maybe let's not even get started on that subject.)

Kamie was so helpful to us through this whole process that I just had to make her a Thank You card.

(The wobbly-looking line there on the left is an opening for a gift-card pocket)

Supplies: Card Base: DCWV, PP: Making Memories, Cardstock, DCWV, Ric Rac: Wrights, 

Cricut Cartridges: Paper Doll Dress Up, Old West, Other: Wiggle Eye

I have to give Steve credit for the idea.  

He wanted to give Kamie a Thank You that was in keeping with her sense of humor & ours, and this seemed to be just the thing.

We started working with Kamie back before Christmas & included her & her family on our Christmas list.  

Her little girl Berclee liked our Christmas card (seen here ) so much that she claimed it for her very own & wouldn't give it back to Mom.  

So we decided that Berclee needed a card of her own this time.

Supplies: Card Base: DCWV, Cardstock: Scraps-unknown, PP-DCWV, Cricut Cartridges: Simply Charmed, Winter Woodland, Other: Stickles

 It's always fun to make projects for people that have been so sweet to you!

Hope you have a very happy Wednesday.

Off to do some packing!
