do you ever feel like a Plastic Bag

I was working on this page for Tally Scrapper's Baby You're a Firework Challenge. When I just couldn't get the elements moved around to my liking. So I went looking for a sketch and found Page Maps! This is a sketch for their Webster Pages Challenge. It even had clouds on it :)

Here's my Page. I wanted the first lyric 'Do you ever feel like a plastic bag?' Because I knew I had pictures of Pratchett in a plastic bag. I dug through the plastic bag and found one like he was in and Modge Podged it to some card stock. I used the letters from my Tim Holtz's Grunge Board to trace the letters. Then I cut out the rest for the background.

House Mouse and Dirty Scraps

House Mouse Blog Hop and Challenge to do a goodbye card. I thought of making my friend a card who's going on vak and I'm taking care of the dog. She gave me these cool papers and ribbons so I decided to use those and grabbed my mouse and camera stamp. I used a Becky Fleck Card Map March 2010.



Next up a 2 page 8.5X11 LO for Dirty Scraps Serenity Challenge. Usually I take a walk on the Greenway because it's more peacefull to look at than my neighboorhood. However on my Birthday they were doing a clean up so I went for an hour to help. I made myself a little sticker too. On the clean up I met a turtle. While resting there was a bug and a ladybug so I put some thickers around them or pointing to them so you can see them in the picture. I inked the circle aroudn the turtle with Brick Red Distress Ink and the other two I used cranberry alchol ink. I used Cosmo Cricket Get Campy for the papers, flowers and ribbon were from my friend and I used my Glue Arts ribbon adehesive for the green ribbon. The green dots are Peeled Paint Distress Stickles. Double Page Map from Becky Fleck that I turned to do a top to bottom LO.

Becky Fleck scrapbook kit club LO contest

I saw the sketch for this and thought it was cute. I had 4 wallet pics of Steve from 8th grade. I was looking for pics of me in 8th grade but remembered we were 8 years apart so I found one of me about kindergarten age. I had pulled out the Cosmo Cricket Boy Friend papers that I had won to go w/school pics and liked the little thought bubble so I cut out my pic and put it in. The 8 is a Fabric Thicker.

Dirty Scraps Challenge #2 and card

I finally finished a card with a faux grid I made by scoring lines on the paper and then filing to show them up. Yes I used PINK! It's a b-day card so it's not for me ;) This was for the House Mouse Challenge.


For the #2 Dirty Scraps challenge. To scrapbook a pivotal point in your life. So I chose my parent's house. I didn't have a photo of the front so I had to get a Google Map shot! Funny enough my car is the red one in the drive way. The other photos are from my 20th B-day of my friends and one pic has Steve. The papers are Cosmo Cricket and I used thickers for my letters. Thanks to @sarahei for picking number 4 and helping me decide on the Cosmo Cricket ;) The letters are Thickers and the punch says Susan something I can't read because the clearance sticker won't come off ;) I used a Page Map from Jan 2010.

Journaling reads In the 5th grade my family decided to move from our little house on 4th ave. We went house hunting and toured several homes. The 1 I liked best had a basement room for me and lots of stairs. Mom didn't like the stairs so we moved to this home. This home decided my school zone which would have been differnt in the other home. Int he other house I may have never taken Drama or Child development. I wouldn't meet the friends tha would become C.A.S.C and take me to Laser Tag where I would meet my husband.

Cuttlebug Challenge

The challenge over at Cuttlebug Challenge was to make a red pocket card. I found this tutorial at Splitcoaststampers and found some Cosmo Cricket Paper.
When making cards make sure you don't put the adhesive too far up ;)

I used the swiss dots cuttlebug folder on the tag and a scalloped corner rounder I had from Creative Memories. The stamps and punch are fiskars and I had happend to cut the shapes before hand and were in my stash bag :D Sticker is from Cosmo Cricket and the buttons were in my stash and was my random number item for the day :D Just happend to be putting away the paper when I saw one of the titles was camp sweet camp so I cut out the word sweet to put on the front of the card.

Scrap Fit Calendar Challenge

I went over to Scrap Fit for their Winter Crop and decided to start on the calendar challenge. I was a wee bit distracted when I'd go over to the Zachary Quinto Community and ask for particular pictures that I remembered but didn't have :D Thanks to the people who found the shirt pic, spock smily pic and other smily pics to help me complete the calendar :D

I used a Cloud Nine Board book that I had won and it worked out perfect :D The papers are all Cosmo Cricket Boyfriend except for October which is Haunted. The photo on October is by Tyler Shields
The embelishments are from Cosmo Cricket, Thickers and some American Crafts Flair. I used Love Elsie doodle stamps on August. The stamp on October is Cosmo Cricket Haunted and paper was inked in Orange Marmalade Distress Ink and stamped in Black Soot Distress Ink by Tim Holt.
