We Will Walk We Will Remember Relay

We have a lot happening over at Scrapdango with a month of sketches starting today. Come on over to play along.  Below is our first sketch provided by MSW created by the talented Lucy Chesna. You have until June 9th at Midnight EST to post your take on the sketch, for a chance to win a $15 GC to the store.

Here is my take on this awesome sketch. Ok, I have to brag a little. These letter I made turned out AMAZING!!! I really need to take a close up of them.

We participate in the ACS Relay for Life every year. My big sister created a team 6 years ago when my mom was battling cancer. We have since lost my mom but my sister each year continues to be apart of the committee and the caption of our relay team. Each year we attend and I will help do the registration with my sister and our friend Crystal. It's a 24 hour event so we stay the night and my kiddos get to walk around the track and play on the football field.  I had these pictures printed along with a stack of others.  I was flipping through my newly printed photos and stopped in my tracks.  The very top picture is my 3 year old son Luke.  I haven't figured out yet why but this picture reminds me so much of my Mom. 

Reveal Day - June Spice Kit

Hooray it's reveal day!!!  This month it's the Spice Kit for me and I'm loving the washi tape and these chipboard house embellishments are adorable.  I love how versatile chipboard can be.  I used one of my new marker pens to color this little house.  :)

Talent Competition

This part of the competition will be the talent segment.  You can create an embellishment, emboss, ink, paint, etc...it's all up to you.

Here is my example: I made the flower from fabric on this card with the May Sugar Kit.  

 
Come on over to Scrapdando to check out what's new.

Alter Something?!?

It's been a while since I've altered anything.  Trinity and I went to the store and I let her pick out a gift for her preschool teacher.  She picked out a jar candle.  I had already made a card and thought it would be fun to alter the candle to match.

Show Me Your Castle

I'm host this weeks game at Scrapdango.  I'm calling it "Show Me Your Castle".  I just love to see where other people craft.  Crowned is more themed toward pageants but I'm going the princess/castle route. 

Here are a few pictures of my space.  I would love to see yours.  Post a link in the comment section or better yet come on over and show the whole board.

 

Sunday Funday

I'm having an awesome Sunday.  Thanks to some help from my big sister and our friend Crystal.  I invite my friends over for a yearly tea party which was today.  After everyone left and the kiddos went down for naps I hung out on the couch with my hubby for 2 hours.  Then I thought I really should get something accomplished I came in my scrap room and made my MIL a mothers day card.   My husband will BBQ tonight, gotta love the spring weather.  Hope you all are having a awesome Sunday.

May Sugar Kit Reveal

I just love that even though this is the May Sugar Kit which tends to be more girly there is always something for the boys.  I made this card for my SIL baby shower, they are pregnant with baby number 2.  I love these clothes pins that come in the May Kit.  Instead of putting my card in an envie I decided to clip it to the bag.

You'll see from my next few projects you will see my use of the fiber that came in this kit. I don't normally use fabric on my projects.  Let's just say I think I found a new love.  :)

I love the gray, yellow and reddish color combo for this card.

I made this card for my DD preschool teacher, who by the way totally rocks.  It says on the outside, "We Really" and the inside "Appreciate You".   

I also completed a double layout.

 A single layout.

Stay tuned because I have a few more projects in store for the Crowned Challenges that start today.
