Eureka Anything Goes Challenge

Hey ladies!

Head on over to the Eureka blog and check out and enter the fabulous challenge to win 5 digis!!

I made up a little Eureka project for the challenge post:

I was a little scared of this digi but I challenged myself to use it. Added some Stickles all over the place to add some dimension to the snow and some life to the stained glass windows.

For the background I used tin foil to add to the shiny, wintry feel.

Now head on over and enter a project of your own!

QKR Summer Fun Challenge

Its awesome visiting the QKR blog! Today there is a challenge up - cards with a Summer Fun theme!

I made a card for this one:

I used the Floating Gator - isn't he cute!! I was really excited to practice my blacks on the innertube here, I think I did ok? The greens of course are my faves and blended fabulously! I use the YG1- grouping for this gator.

Mini what? Mini album!!!

So I've started a mini album. First, I designed the pages on my Silhouette and cut them out of cereal boxes. Note: the big family size boxes are a little tougher than the regular size ones. Use those instead. I'm talking like the jumbo diabetes in a bag box of Reese's cereal. Seriously. That was the ultimate box. Or just use some stiff card if you have some :)

The album is about my trip to Nova Scotia in May (I know, I'm kinda working on something recent, how wierd!). The 6 pages I originally made for it were not enough, so I added some basic rectangle pages in this weekend to get it all to fit.

The first page I completed is of our first day driving from Halifax to Caledonia. We stopped in Mahone Bay where the picturesque three churches are. I was more interested in the mallards and hence this page was born:

I really played with the photos for this album in Picasa so I could bring some diversity. You will see what I mean as more and more of this album gets exposed.

The digi I used is from Eureka Stamps called Mallard (36601). I colored it with Copics and then did some sort of fussy cutting.

The entire album is done with papers from Momenta. I used both the Great Outdoors stack PA-0925 (for the Nature accent and the mat paper on this page) and then I used the new travel stack for covering each page. I absolutely love how well this all works together.

The second page I completed for the mini this weekend was for a challenge at the Two Scrapbook Friends forum. Jayne challenged us to use a Polaroid. I had used Picasa to make this cute little Polaroid, then I printed it out too big. My album is only 3" tall :(  So I re-made the Polaroid by hand:

These photos were taken in Peggy's Cove. The born to fish tag is from the Momenta pack mentioned above, and both other tags on this page and the top one are from Making Memories. Finally, the lobster sticker and starfish are from K&Co. I looked everywhere for lobster stickers... everyone has the crabs... who cares? lol. Finally we found them from K&Co and I have to say, they coordinate pretty well.

Thanks for visiting and get out there and make your own mini!

More Christmas Album

Here is another page completed for MIL's Christmas album. This one has room for two photos for her to add. I just used some Bo Bunny double dot, some American Crafts trim I think and a MME banner, plus some bling.

Then, the fabulous title is a digi from QKR Stamps called Joy.  

I colored the digi very simply with my Copics, and then added some red Festive Berries stickles and some Evergreen stickles. That wasn't enough so I added some Glossy Accents to jazz it up a bit.

This digi would also look great on a card as the whole front. It would be nice and simple.
