Saturday Scrapbook Challenge #19

Hello Folks..Time seems to be flying. It is already Mid May :) It is Saturday and time for our Saturday Scrapbook Challenge.

For this week, the challenge is to create a birthday layout - any birthday related layout and in addition you need to use a stamped image on your layout. It is not so hard..We always have plenty of birthday photos that we need to scrapbook.

Here is my layout that I created for my nephew's birthday. This page is part of his birthday album.

I wanted to show case his birthday cake. I used the cake image from SU Birthday Whimsy stamp set.



Please leave a direct link to your post or layout with Mr. Linky below. If you upload to public galleries, please use the keyword inspiredsketch19. There is no time limit for our challenges. Waiting to see the awesome creations for this challenge.

Saturday Scrapbook Challenge #18

It is Saturday and time for another Scrapbook challenge from Inspired Crafters. I have created a sketch for us to use.

Please create either a 12x12 or 8x8 layout. Please feel free to change the elements of the page to suit your photographs. As long as we can still make out the sketch, that should be good enough. Please remember there is no time limit to play with our challenges. Would love to see what you create with this sketch,

Here is the sketch,



Here is my sample. I used the American Crafts Dear Lizzy Paper collection for this layout. I also used one of the Adhesive backed fabric paper for this LO. It was kind of hard to cut the fabric paper, but I loved the texture of it. Title was done using American Crafts Thicker. Stickers are all from the same collection from AC. Sorry for the bad picture of my LO.



These are our pictures from our recent visit to the Dallas Arboretum. It was an absolutely beautiful day and we had lots of fun admiring the beautiful flowers and greenery.

i have decided since only 2 of you did all 4 of my sketches, {shame on the rest of you!!} which was tina and sara....i am going to bring you both back something from convention. tina is not a scrapper, so for her to do them, i am most impressed! BTW, i talk to tina online all the time, but am finally going to meet her today at convention!! wahoo!! and my dear friend sara, who doesn't have internet right now...i sent her the challenges so that she could play along, she got all 4 done too...so you both deserve something good in the mail this week!

scrapbook challenge 16...

well, this will be my last challenge for my "convention RAK" giveaway. i used another sketch from Studio Calico. go here to see the original post and another inspiration lo. i really like this sketch and it could easliy be turned into 2-3 pictures instead of just the one. but this is the only picture i had of quinn and avery jane for this occasion. this was taken on quinn's first day of pre-k.
supplies: bazzill dot cs, mme be loved dp & heart & scallop border, pti aqua mist buttons, k & co wood like alpha, random alpha, and jenni bowlin journal circle. once again i used my typewriter for the journaling and then just cut it apart. i always sand my photos and i always shred the edges of the cs i use and then i ink everything with antique linen and walnut ink. i use a steak knife to run along the cs to create the "worn" effect.

you have until april 30th at midnight EST, to get all 4 of the sketch challenges done i have given you. i will then pick a name and pick you up something while i am shopping at the CK convention on may 1st. so get busy!
