BLING IT ON BLOP HOP!!!!

We are doing a blog hop right here.... right now!!!

Our term for the APOS! Inspiration team has quickly come to a close and we thought it would be fun to do a little blog hop to wrap up. So between the 6 of us we came up with the theme

BLING IT ON!

Each of the  Inspiration Team members were tasked with creating a canvas using buttons, ribbon/lace and bling. I sure hope you take a moment and check them out.

This is my first canvas so I started simple with some items I’m familiar with. I decided to glue some cardstock to the canvas and work from there layering on different inks, paints, lace, bling and buttons!  Hope you enjoy the rest of the HOP!

The bog hop started with Diana and will continue on through the following order:

Diana

Jen

Kelsey (Me)

Megan
Michelle

Tams

Please feel free to hop on through and leave a comment. Comment on each site and your name will be put into a draw for a BLING IT ON prize!!

Thanks for stopping by!

This week at A PILE OF SCRAP! Jenn posted a great challenge: use some packaging for a scrappy product on a LO!  This is super neat to see, I love these kind of LOs. Please come and visit us and participate!

I have some LOs to share with you:

LO 1: This was done for Diana's Inspiration Color Challenge to use cream, black and brown!  I loved it!

Crop for the Cure Weekend LOs

Hello my scrappy friends!

I'm here to share with you the LOs that I made while attending the Crop for the Cure at A PILE OF SCRAP! last weekend.

There was lots of fun to be had with the ladies on that Saturday.

This first LO was done for the Online Crop I'm hosting this weekend. It is for the Geography Challenge.

For the next LO we were given a sketch created by Vicki from A PILE OF SKETCHES. I also decided to thow in some pink for Tams challenge over at APOS! for us to use pink on any creation and she will donate 50 cents to the Run for the Cure team.

 I did Michelle's September Inspiration Challenge which was to use the colors Green, Brown and Cream in a LO.

 This final LO that I am able to share is for the Online Crop as well. For the Recess Challenge!

Come on over to APOS! Forum and join us for the Crop this weekend. You have until Monday night at midnight to post your LOs!  Please come and visit!!

Sneak Peak

I had an amazing time at the Crop on Saturday at A PILE OF SCRAP! It was the Crop for the Cure which I'm  participating in with a group of girls from the Forum. I got lots accomplished but am only going to share card with ou for now. Most of the others are for the upcoming Online Crop for this weekend Sept 16th to 18th over at APOS! Come join us for some Challenges, Bingo and some more goodies along the way! 

Here is the card and then a group shot of the cropping ladies:

Creative Juices

...have made a return!  I got scrappy yesterday and made 2 cards and 1 LO! I felt so accomplished once I was done. Haven't made some things in a long time!
This LO I made using a sketch from A Pile of Sketches. An awesome new sketch site! I also did Scrapinmamas July Inspiration Challenge to use some stitching on the LO.

A card I made for my Dad for his Birthday.

The Anniversary card was made using Tam's Sept. Inspiration Challenge from A PILE OF SCRAP! It was to use the colors Brown, Cream and Blue. I also was inspired by Tams' August Highlight to use Glubers for the first time to make the flower! They are so much fun to use. I recommend picking some up!

That's all for now ladies and gents! Hope you are having a great holiday weekend!

Completed a new LO

I did Diana's Challenge from the A PILE OF SCRAP! Weekly challenge. I used the Glimmermist chalkboard products on my Riff Raff Heart and on my flowers to change their color.

Tomorrow (Sept 2nd) there will be a new challenge posted and we can't wait for you to join us for the month of September!  It's ALL about COLOR!! And we want to see lots of it. Each week a different Inspiration Team member will give you a color palatte that we would like to see you work with!  Pop on over starting on Friday and check it out.

New LOs

So I was fairly productive on Sunday for the online Crop over at A PILE OF SCRAP!  I got 3 LOs done for Tams' challenges.

This was the Guess Who Challenge, we were challenge to do some form of hidden journalling.

This was the Pictionary Challenge. We were challenge to do some doodling or drawing on our LO.

This was the first Challenge I did. It was a Boggle Challenge. We took A PILE OF SCRAP ROCKS and had to create a title for our LO out of these letters.

This crop was a lot of fun and there was soooo much inspiration there. I will still be using some of the challenges to create more LOs.

Hope you pop over and visit us at APOS! there are weekly Inspiration challenges that are posted and I will be posting the next one on Friday! :D

Busy week!

This past week has been busy busy! I finished up the Album I had been working on for my Minister who is retiring. I'm happy with the way it turned out and was glad to have the help of my cousin who is a fellow church member and fellow scrapper! It was a great project, lots of fun!. I didn't take pics of all the LOs but hope to share a few. I also posted this Month's Tutorial over at A PILE OF SCRAP!

All these pages are the album I worked on.

Please visit us over at APOS! and you can see the June Tutorial I posted about making Stamps using Foam and your Cuttlebug. My idea came from a video I saw on Youtube.

Jenn is hosting an online crop over the weekend and you have until Monday night at midnight to complete the challenges. She is doing it to the theme of Harry Potter.

Almost the weekend!

Before I head out of town for the weekend I thought I'd update you on a few LOs. I am working on a special project right now for my Minister and have a few LOs done for you to have a peak at!

All things Scrappy

It's been kind of blah here lately. Lots of rain and dreary days, today I think the sun is trying to peak out though! I'll hope for the best on my day off. Lots of things going on today, hoping to get a few LOs done and to also get 2 cards finished. Wish me luck!

Since I last posted, I attended National Scrapbooking Day with APOS! at Gibson Memorial United Church. It was so much fun with lots of great ladies to visit with, chat with and have a great time! I got a few projects done!

This first project is one of my new fave Layouts! I love the colors and those flowers are to just BEAUTIFUL!!! :D



My SIL is having a Birthday later in the month so I though it was a great time to get a card made early, seeing how we have to mail it to Halifax! Hubby is now in charge in writing in the card and getting it mailed off...it's still sitting on the coffee table! lol


Tam's over at APOS! posted the first Inspiration Challenge. It was a theme around the Royal Wedding! Something Borrowed (I still have to creat my borrowed LO), Something Blue (pretty obvious..lol), Something Old (Some of the buttons have been around for awhile, they belonged to my Grandmother) Something New (New travel embellies). Please pop over for a visit to the forum to check out all the other GREAT LOs for this challenge!



For about two weeks there was a challenge posted on the A PILE OF SCRAP! Forum to do a LO with 90% of the supplies being Girl's Paperie! I loved these papers and cute lil number brads!




The next 2 days will be quite busy trying to get some more LOs done! Can't wait to share them with you all! Don't froget to pop over to the APOS! Forum and join the ladies Friday night for a new Inspiration Challenge, and also on Saturday May 15th I will be revealing the Scrapper of the Month for May!!

Cards!

I've got lots of cards to be making this month. I started today and made 2 Mother's Day cards with Pinwheels, but sadly forgot to take my pics :( I really have to learn to take pics of my projects. I have a few more Birthday cards to make so I'll be taking some pics of those. Over at A PILE OF SCRAP! they have great card ideas on the forum, if you need any inspiration, that is the place to go.

National Scrapbooking Day is coming up really fast! I can't wait for 12 hours of Scrapping with my APOS! Buddies. I have to get some planning done, I know of 2 LOs already that I would like to get done. Also I love to have some sketches printed off to take with me so I have ideas with me at all times. I will need to make sure everything is packed and in order for my outing too, don't want to forget anything. Although APOS! will be on site for me to buy anything I forget.

Happy Scrapping in the days ahead!

The Secret is out!

All has been revealed over at APOS! The Inspirational Team has been announced and your truly has been chosen. I feel very honoured to be on this wonderful team of very talented ladies! There are 6 of us on the team for a 6 month term. I'm so excited to get started and for us to have lots of fun inspiring! It is always great to see all of their work, such a diverse group we are! Please pop over to A PILE OF SCRAP! to and check out the forum where we will be posting some inspiration shortly!
