another happy adventure.....

Good afternoon my Scraptastic friends!

I hope that you are all having a wonderful 4th of July weekend so far! I'm trying to catch up on some housework and also trying to fit in some scrapping. Why do I always feel like like I'm catching up with my housework? Anyhoo.....I'd like to share a layout that I just finished using the new Sweet Summertime kit and Add-On and Pencil Lines Sketch #242 . (I'm almost sold out of these new July kits, only 4 left!)

another happy adventure with beans

 

I also wanted to share some close-ups so that you could see the dimension....

Thanks for letting me share with you today! Have a great weekend! 

Check out the post below for the listing of the June Challenges, you have until this Wednesday to upload your entries!

sassy and cute......

Good morning my Scraptastic friends!

TGIF!!!! I'm so looking forward to this long weekend.....what are your plans for the weekend? I will just be hanging with the kids and on Monday we'll go to Hilton Head to see the fireworks, I'll have to pick up some ear plugs for the Beans because she hates loud noises, so fireworks are always a treat with her!

I finished up a new layout last night using the "Sweet Summertime" kit. I think this kit is my favorite so far, I just love all the fun and bright colors!

The pictures are from a couple of weekends ago when we were in Orlando for my niece's 2nd Birthday. The only things on the page that are not included in the kit are the buttons and my I-Rock gems.

Don't forget that you have until Wednesday at midnight to link up your submissions for the June Challenges. One lucky person will be chosen by random.org to win one of Echo Park's Splash Collection kits.

Happy Thursday everyone Janie here today. I hope you are enjoying your week. Tomorrow is a holiday here in Canada. It's Canada Day yippee. Anyway wanted to wish you all a Happy 4th of July as well.

Onto my challenge this week my challenge for you is to break out of your comfort zone and alter something. You can alter anything you like I am not picky as long as it's not a card or a layout we are good :). So I am going to show you my example for this challenge I adore this little box I altered I think it's very cute.

Anyway here it is MY WOODY

I took the Surf's up Kit and went nuts on my Woody.. I used the Distress ink and coated my project in it I love how it looks I added a star stitched using my sew easy products which i bought through the Scraptastic store. I used Modge Podge to seal my project. If you are wondering yes I removed the metal findings, altered the box and then put the findings back on..

So get cracking everyone. I can't wait to see what you come up with. Have a safe and Happy holiday Hugs.Make sure to share your project using the in linkz tool below to win this month's prize, Echo Park's Splash Collection.

The Shear fun of it!!

Hello everyone!! Michelle here today. Happy Thursday!!! How can that be already??!!! The week is whizzing by! With that being said, Thursday is also the day the new challenge is given!! I am excited to be issuing my first challenge for Scraptastic Club!!

So, let's get to it!! We all have them. They are the old forgotten tool. The tool that was there before any of the fancy cutting systems came out! We are talking about our decorative scissors. I know everyone has them. I certainly do! So, let's dig those decorative scissors out. Pull them out of your kids art bin!! Let's see what you can do with them!! Here is my example. I made this with the Birthday Wishes kit. I dug out the pinking shears (did ya guess that from the title?? LOL) and cut around my big circle. I wanted a decorative edge, but didn't want the tradition scallop and such that I can get with my punches.Now, it is your turn!! I can't wait to see what you create. Make sure to share your project using the linkz below to win this month's prize, Echo Park's Splash Collection.

The more times you play along with the challenges, the more chances to win!!! You have until July 6th at Midnight to submit your projects. To get an extra entry into the drawing, become a follower of this blog and post a comment here letting me know that you did this.

water balloons???

Good morning my Scraptastic friends!

I had planned on finishing up some projects last night that I started, but the kids had a couple of friends over for dinner, and after dinner, the boys went outside to have a water balloon fight. When I went outside to check on the them, the 2 turned into 6, which later turned into about 8-10 kids. Needless to say I had to join in on the water balloon fun! By 8:00, we ran out of water balloons, so I started spraying all the kids with the hose which turned into tug of war! At 8:30, we were all pretty tired, soaked and dirty....and the kids have all planned to come back today for another fun evening filled with water balloons. I wish I had taken some pictures last night, I'll try to tonight! By the time I got my kids washed and into bed it was creeping on 10:00 and I went to bed, so no time was spent last night on my projects, I will finish them up this weekend!

I do have a couple of projects from DT Juliann Marchant to share, she used the Birthday Wishes kit and Add-On.....
