Do NOt Enter




I made this layout for the Monday challenge over at Sisterhood of Scrap.
The challenge is an easy one.... make a layout using mainly 2 colors,
and using a photo that has no people of animals in it.

I had this photo that my ds took when he was in NYC last spring and have wanted to scrap it for some time, but never knew what to do with it! Now I do!!!

Come on over and join us if you want!!!!

Thanks for taking a peek!

I'm not sure how the weather is where you live, but in Southern Ontario we have had our fair share of cloudy days! Time to let a little sun shine!!

I did this layout to remind myself that it will get hotter soon!!!

I used a sketch from Chris at Sisterhood of Scrap, and also, for the challenge at Scrap Our Stash this month!!

S:CY Reveal Today!

Sketches: Creatively Yours has it's second reveal up today and you MUST checkout what the DT did with Ali's awesome sketch!!

Here is Ali's sketch....



And here is my take on it....




For a little added incentive to do this sketch and post it to the site, Ali is giving away a "PAK"... Here is what she said...


Hey everyone, I am going to have some fun today!!!

Be sure to make use of the new sketch (Sketch 02-11) and include a link to your LO, altered item, ANY hand-crafted item or card in our "Comments" section, below.

We will visit and leave you some "loves," PLUS, I will number each person as 1, 2, etc... as you post your link(s). Your name (changed to a number) will then go into the "hat" via Random.org to win a Ribbon PAK! (PAK= Playful Act of Kindness.)

YES! You can enter this part of the PAK fun more than once!! Each creation using Sketch 02-11 as inspiration nets you ONE ballot.

Hmmmm.... OK: Let's make it a bit MORE fun! Wanna earn another ballot toward winning this ribbon PAK?

YES? FIRST: Be sure you've created a LO or any other crafty item using our Sketch as inspiration. Leave us a link.

THAT gets you one ballot for every item you create using the sketch.

THEN: Earn another ballot by doing all of the following things:

A) Post on your Facebook page about the S:CY Blog. SHARE our link: http://creativelyyourssketches.blogspot.com/

B) Then "LIKE" the S:CY FB page HERE ( just tell me if you already have done so, I know u will be honest.)

C) Become a "Follower" here at S:CY. (Look on the right in the sidebar.)

D) Post here in "Comments" letting us know you did these things.

I will draw a name, (ie- a number,) using Random.org on Thursday, April 14, 2011 at about 1 PM Atlantic Time.


The PAK winner will receive a ribbon-treat in the mail. Wanna play? You're very welcome to join in.


So be sure to join in on the fun and have a great scrappy day!!

A Little Altered Something!!

Tabitha challenged us last Monday at Sisterhood of Scrap, to alter something!

I had this jewelry box insert lying about, and deceided to turn it into a wee shadow box for my scrappy space!!




The little box of scissors on the bottom right, was actually my Grandnma's and it does have the scissors in it!

The stamps were ones I have collected from the girls from SOS who have sent me stuff over the years!!

This was so fun to do!

If you want to alter a little something, do so, and then post it at Sisterhood of Scrap!!
