SOCCER CHICKS

This is my latest project for Creative Inspiration using the following sketch.  For this Sunday's challenge, I decided to use one of my favorite pics from my daughter's past soccer season.  We were killing time between games and went to a farm store where we found a giant stuffed chicken.  My dog loves all stuffed animals, and we thought this would be the perfect gift for him.  So we bought it and it sat lovingly between my daughter and her best friend all the way back to the soccer field.  I decided that farm themed paper would be the perfect pairing for this project along with a few shout outs to soccer, so I used Doodlebug design "Down on the Farm" collection along with a few Doodlebug design soccer embellishments from their "Goal" collection.

WASHINGTON DC

This is my latest project for Let's Scrap using the following sketch.  For this challenge, I decided to feature pictures of my daughter and her best friends during her Washington DC Trip.  She was living her best life while there sightseeing and hanging with her girls.  To pull this project together, I used a variety of papers from Authentique's "Liberty" collection and a Washington DC sticker from Karen Foster's Washington DC Destination Stickers.

ADVENTURE

This is my latest project for Creative Inspiration Design team using the following sketch.  For this project, I decided to use two of my favorite pictures my daughter took in New York City last month; one of her on a boat with the skyline in the background and another one of the Statue of Liberty.  Even a month since the trip, she can not stop talking about how much she loved the city and is planning a return with me sometime in the future.  To pull this project together, I used a variety of papers from Kaisercraft's "Let's Go" collection.

AMOUR

This is my latest project for Use Your Stuff where we were asked to create something with a "vintage" theme.  I decided to use a vintage picture of myself at the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, France in 1998.  I'm not a big one on having my picture taken, so I'm extremely grateful, especially after the fire in April, that I got this snapshot of myself.  To pull this project together, I used a variety of papers with a vintage feel from Carta Bella's "Amour" line.  I was also inspired by the following sketch from my former design team "2 Broke Girls."

BIG ADVENTURE

This is my latest project for Creative Inspiration using the following sketch.  My daughter graduated from High School two weeks ago.  Needless to say, not only have I been unbelievably emotional, but also crazy busy the past few weeks.  So with this being one of my first trips back into my scrapbook room to create this project, I decided to make graduation my theme.  To pull this project together, I used polka dot paper from Doodlebug Design and also cardstock stickers and a strip of paper from Doodlebug Design's "Dragon Tails" collection since my daughter's former school mascot was a Viking.

SUN FUN

This is my latest project for Sketchy Board Challenges using the following sketch.  This month's featured item to use somewhere on our project was the flamingo.  I decided to reach into my picture archives and use two pics of my niece and nephew playing with a flamingo inflatable toy in my pool a few summer's ago.  To pull this project together, I used a variety of papers from Echo Park's "Summer Fun" collection.

LOVE...

This is my latest project for Use Your Stuff using the following mood board as inspiration.  My daughter took a variety of pictures of herself in her new favorite outfit on Easter a few weeks back.  I featured a black and white version of the picture in a previous project.  For this project, I decided to use the color version.  The aqua of the pool and orange and pink of the patio furniture reminded me of elements found in the mood board.  To pull this project together, I used a variety of papers from Scrapbook Customs's "Tribal" collection along with buttons and butterflies from my stash of embellishments.  I also used a sketch from my former design team 2 Broke Girls as inspiration as well.
