SOME LO'S FOR SKETCHES 4 ALL

I'm back!!! LOL! just a couple of LO's to share. i've had this LO's done earlier this month. this first one was for the Valentine blog hop we had over at SKETCHES4ALL. just something simple using my stash of BASICGREY papers. i remember the challenge was to use 14 hearts in your LO. i had fun cutting all the hearts and making my own corrugated alpha the letter "i" using starbucks coffee sleeve/holder. this next one was for the DT sketch reveal. Fia provided us with one of Liz Qualman's beautiful sketch. this was a mix of bits and pieces of whats left on my November NOOK kit filled with COSMO CRICKET and i was ale to use some of my old stash including the beautiful vintage paper i used as my base and the felt flowers are MARTHA STEWART that i bought at Big Lots for a dollar a set. that is it for me tonight because i have tons and tons of LO's i need to finish. it is going to be another sleepless night LOL! speaking of sleepless , i feel like watching my all time fave movie Sleepless in Seattle. Goodnight friends! thanks again for stopping by.

MY GOAL- NIKKI SIVILS JANUARY & ARTASTIC FEBRUARY challenge

hi there it's me again! i'm back with a new LO inspired by NIKKI SIVIL'S January challenge- to do projects about goals or resolutions. this LO is also for ARTASTIC February challenge with this months inspiration coming from Venus at her Toilet by Pieter Paul Rubens with diva demand for an extra 6 bonus points- the LO must be about YOU!, add wings somewhere on your layout (i made the wings on my heart on the left corner of my photo), use a mirror image or use the same picture of YOU multiple times which i think i got all of them in my LO. i also submitted this LO to my co-DT MITSUE for her February cahllenge over at SKETCHES4ALL. click HERE for the full challenge detail. i made this LO about my goal this year which is to love myself more- like taking care of my health, believing in myself more, accept me as me and try to stay true to myself. i just realized that it's becoming more often now that i take myself for granted. so hopefully this year will be different. here is my LO using NIKKI SIVIL's Sugar Cookie collection- another great collection of papers and embellishment from NIKKI SIVIL's. i love how whimsical and fun this collection is. believe me i am not a big fan of color pink but with the mix of purples and browns i enjoyed creating with this papers. i'm back to work today and later tonight when i get home i need to finish up some DT assignment. it's the last week of the month so it's going to be a busy, busy week with lots of scrapping fun.
have a wonderful day and God bless. thanks for stopping by.
