Happy Memorial Day! Here is my project showing the faux tea rose technique for Compendium of Curiosities 3, Challenge 3 from Linda Ledbetter. All the products used except for the tag base are from Stampin' Up! The flowers were cut using "Secret Garden" framelits and the butterflies are from the "Beautiful Butterflies" Bigz Die.
Thanks to everyone that participated in the blog hop yesterday. I really enjoyed seeing all the variations on red, white and blue. For this week's card for Operation Write Home's sketch #226 I used one of the new stamps from SU called "Life's Adventure."
Happy Memorial Day Weekend and welcome to the Operation Write Home Blog Hop! For my card I used sketch #9 ... although I did deviate quite a bit. The focal point for this card is a stamp from the SU "Liberty For All" set (retired). For the sentiment(s) I used ChitChat stickers from Tim Holtz.

Here is my digital layout for Scrapbook Challenges sketch #393. These pictures were taken last Friday at Amgen's Tour of California. The bicycle chalk graphic was a free download from Persnickety.
Happy Sunday! Here is my card for Operation Write Home's sketch #225. This week I'm using a new 2014-2015 hostess stamp from Stampin' Up called "Hello Love".
Here is my layout for a this week's challenge posted by Relly on Shimelle's page. Although I have tons of paper strips and scraps of paper hoarded away in the "real world", I decided to stay digital for this layout. I used Stampin' Up's designer series paper called Cottage Wall. Enjoy!
Happy Mother's Day! Here is my card for Operation Write Home's sketch #224. Almost all the products used including the butterfly punch are from Stampin' Up! The rhinestones are the exception.
Happy Saturday! Here is my layout for Scrapbook Challenges' sketch #392. These pictures were taken in Japan at the Sagano Bamboo forest near Kyoto. The layout was made using Stampin' Up's MDS software.
Last Saturday was National Scrapbook Day and Scrapbook Challenges put out a special sketch to celebrate the day. Here is my take on their sketch. I used a photo of my niece and her friend at her school district's 24 Game tournament as the focal point for my layout.
Here is this month's tag for Tim Holtz's 12 Tags of 2014 challenge. To me this was quite a departure from Tim's previous tags and even more of a challenge for me since I did not have the shadowpress folder or a wide selection of embellishments. So with that I had to do some improvising. I started by cutting the word "beautiful" with my silhouette in two colors of cardstock with the idea that one would be placed in the background to create the shadow effect and it actually worked.
Happy May! Here is this week's card for Operation Write Home's sketch #223. I created the image by stamping with bleach on espresso cardstock and applied gold ink with the Stampin' Up! air spritzer. I cut the image about 2/3 of the way down and layered it on several pieces of cardstock. The ribbon was tied using the bow maker.
I hope you're having a great day scrapbooking! Here is my second layout for the day using sketch #390 from Scrapbook Challenges. These are photos of my nephew at his first track meet.
Happy National Scrapbooking Day! Here is my page for Shimelle's weekly challenge. The photos are from a rattlesnake aversion training class that we took both of our dogs to a few weeks ago. The page was created using MDS software and most of the supplies used are from Stampin' Up!
