I'm on a scrappy kick it seems

I wonder what will happen to my stitching now :p The funny thing is Pratchett tried to take off with the LO I did of him with the plastic bag!

Here's one I did for a 70's TV show title challenge, a hybrid challenge and a sketch challenge.
My friends and I went to the free 'donations appreciated' Shakespeare in the Park last September. I used some Wilderness paper I won from Colorbok and by the time I got all the pictures on there it looked to busy with anything else.

Page Maps Challenge Basic Grey Sketch

Ok finally got a better picture of this LO before the deadline was completely up. I used American Crafts Shabby Chic papers, buttons, 'the' Remarks stickers and 'sky' Thickers. The yellow scalloped card stock is DCWV. The other scalloped border is done with a Fiskars border punch with some tape on some scrap paper. The butterfly transparency is Colorbok. I think the pearls might be Kaiser Craft and the 'in' is Making Memories. Felt butterfly from ? Quote is a sheet of stickers who's brand name escapes me now but they do a lot of sticker quotes in themes. (Not Quick Quotes I know that)
Picture is me from 1984.

For wanting to win Basic Grey I sure used a lot of American Crafts!

February Crush

I was too late for the January Crazy challenge so yesterday I remembered to start for February. I'm calling it February Crush Challenge but it's just me :p so just work on what you started in January or if you missed out like me you can start now and just start a new project until Valentine's Day :)

I bought these patterns and fabric back in 2004 when I first started stitching. I finally got most of the over dyed floss around my B-day when a friend game me a gift certificate.



Here is my first pattern. I need to dig out my first piece ever to show just how much I Like the bunnies ;)

This is what I did last night watching Hockey (I did stitch a little of my Hockey stitch since I got in the floss I needed from Dimensions)



Look Words! and not some blobby bit of a snow covered tree!

Tonight's pattern.


I see these are numbered or in a series so now I'm wondering if I started with one or two.



More words! 3 words seems to be it for a hockey game though last night I did stitch some of the Hockey stitch but the game went into a shoot out so I had more time to stitch!

While I'm at it since I believe New Moon is tonight or tomorrow the TUSAL!

This is Jim in the making ;)


Isn't he adorable! LOL. George is still sitting under my monitor if anyone is wondering. I need to carefully take him to a friends house and see if she has some spray adhesive I can use to set him.

And just because I scrapped today! This was for the Let's Scrap sketch challenge. The pictures are from my Aunt Ouida's 100th B-day. She passed last year at 101 1/2.
Most of the papers are by Colorbok Woodhaven. The gray papers sticking out of the photos are something else. The stamp that says Family is Colorbok Woodhaven, too.

scrappy Squee

I'm a Fiskateer, even though it's been ages since I visited the forum!, and when Fiskars was still carrying paper lines I signed up for surveys to say what I liked and didn't. They also have them for their tools. Then Fiskars dropped the paper lines to just focus on tools so the paper lines went to Color Bok and now I do their surveys. If you do the survey within a time period are in the first 50 or 100 whatever requirement they give you they send you stuff! I had actually gotten a box a while ago and I have some of it to a friend and kept some stickers and stamps for myself. However this is all MINE!



It's an album kit with papers and punch-outs. I remember when this came out and I wanted it so bad but I kept myself from buying it because I couldn't think of anything I would scrap with it. Now I'm going to take pictures to scrap with it! Or make cards, or just make something for the heck of it!

Unknown Underwear Soldier

I used the September Sketch from Julie at Let's Scrap. She probably didn't think she'd get a LO about an unknown underwear soldier!

I also did this for the Scrap U Assignment at Scrap Friendzy I printed off the music sheets and tea stained them. I had done some random music notes so I punched and made some pleated flowers. Then I knew what pics I wanted so I printed another sheet and wrote out the lyrics to God Bless My Underwear. (Again poor challenge makers probably didn't think they'd be getting this.) The papers were BoBunny MamaRazzi and the cardstock is DCWV. The button on the flower was in my stash from my Granny's buttons. The journaling says If Pictures Could Talk...they could tell me who this unknown underwear soldier is from my Grandfather's photos. Oh and I have a vellum quote Armed & Dangerous on there from Colorbok. I used Tim Holtz photo negative die cut for the black cardstock.
