Love to Scrap! Challenge Blog We're Turning Two Hop

We're Turning Two!!

The Love To Scrap! Challenge Blog is turning TWO this month! To celebrate, we're excited to bring you our "We're Turning Two" Blog Hop! We're being sponsored byAuroraWings! Come hop with us for a chance to win a $20 gift certificate to the AuroraWings Etsy Shop!



As you hop, collect letters at each stop and be sure to leave each designer some love. Once you have collected all the letters, unscramble them and email your guess to ltscb@mail.com - then all the correct guesses will be entered into the drawing for the Aurora Wings gift certificate!

All of the LTSCB designers are using 'two of something' on our inspiration projects. Everyone participating in the blog hop is invited to link up a project using 'two of something' for an EXTRA entry into the drawing! **Be sure to use the same email address to email your guess and to link up your project so we can make sure you're given two entries into the drawing!**

For this blog hop I got to use the image Marie Antoinette Big Hair.  I decided to make 2 projects since we are turning two.

My first project is a tag.  I used 2 die-cuts, 2 pearls, 2 shades of blue paper, 2 ribbons, and the lace only has 2 scallops.  Because the image was so small, it was hard for me to watercolor it first, so it's just regular color pencils.


Of course Marie Antoinette needed a crown and some feathers.


I sponged some ink around the image.  Some Liquid Pearls were applied on her pearls with a toothpick and a very steady hand.  There is a lot of detail in this small image!


For my second project I made a gift bag, complete with a crown topper.  This image was colored with water color and regular color pencils.  My twos are 2 charms (crown and the cupcake on top), 2 layers of 2 different pieces of lace, 2 pearls, 2 shades of blue paper and the number 2.


Here's the cupcake charm on top.


Just like the tag, I applied Liquid Pearls to her pearls.  If this counts, I used 2 different colors of Liquid Pearls; silver and gold.

thanks for looking and reading :o)

My letters are N and A.

Here are your blog hop stops:

Scrapping4fun Challenge #38 Spring/Easter

Hello crafty followers!  I hope everyone is enjoying their weather.  It's still a little crazy here, some days it's warm and others days it's too cool to play outside, but Spring is around the corner :o)  For our next challenge at Scrapping4fun we want to see Spring/Easter projects.


Here's my Spring/Easter card.

Just in case you need an inspiration photo to get the juices flowing.


I've had this stamp sitting around for a LONG while (the package say 2009), it was time to be used.  It's Easter Flower Corner by Serendipity Stamps.  The image was colored by my water color and regular color pencils, if you haven't noticed, they are my favorite to use.  Being Easter and Spring inspiration, pastel colors are a must.  The lace is from my stash, I've had it since 2001 from my sewing days.  The cross brad seem fitting and it has a dove on it. 


Here's the inside of the card.  The sentiment is from Stampin' Up Well Scripted.

thanks for looking and reading :o)  Hope to see you in the challenge.

stamps used: Serendipity Stamps-Easter Flower Corner, SU-Well Scripted
paper used: discounted paper (purples), the Paper Studio white
die cuts used: Spellbinders romantic rectangles, MFT leaf-filled flourish & fancy flourish
embellishments: lace, Recollections cross brads, Diamond Dots, Fiskars heritage corner punch

Love to Scrap! Challenge Blog - #50 Anything Goes

Good Monday morning!  Thank you once again for all the sweet comments that you leave, it really makes my day. 

I hope you are ready for another challenge at Love to Scrap! Challenge Blog.  It a favorite once again.... Anything Goes.  Just remember we want to see stamping, either rubber, clear and/or digital on your project.

All Dressed Up winner will receive 2 images of choice

Love to Scrap! winner will receive a special grab bag

It's about that time for St.Patrick's Day, so I thought this card would be appropriate.  I used the digital image from Bugaboo Stamps called Happy St Patricks Day to Ewe.  I love the goofy look on this sheep, it reminds me of my dogs.  I will admit that green is my favorite color.  The image was colored with water color and regular color pencils.


Here's the inside.  Sending you a little Irish good luck :o)

Scrapping4fun #37 Anything Goes

Hello crafty friends!  It's hard to believe it's already March.  Ethan, one of the middle boys, is celebrating his 10th birthday on March 6th.  So, for this Anything Goes challenge at Scrapping4fun, I decided the little gift card bag I decorated would be perfect.


Since he likes magical things, I used this image from Just Ink Lined called Wizzbook.  I colored it with my watercolor and regular color pencils.  Then, I fussy cut the image out.  The ribbon I used is a deep purple on one side and black on the other.  A little tag was needed and aged to perfection, since it's a birthday gift .


Some Stickles were added to the staff globe, I'm sure there is a technical name for it.  


I got this little burlap bag at Hobby Lobby.  As you can see (the little bit of hot pink card peering through), it's the perfect size for a gift card.  A little metal present was added to the back flap and some pearls to finish up where the ribbon came together.  Simple and easy :o)

thanks for looking and reading :o)

I would like to enter this bag into the following challenges:
stamps used: Just Ink Lined-Wizzbook (digital), SU-Short & Sweet (rubber)
paper used: the Paper Studio-white
die-cut used: MFT-Traditional Tag Stax
embellishments used: RRR Ribbon, metal present (from Michaels), Recollections pearl stickers, Stickles, jute
