I Left My Heart in San Francisco

I made this for Frosted Design's Songs of Our Life **Song Lyric Challenge** and Sketches in Thyme Challenge 7 sketch!  Obviously, I used "I left my heart in San Francisco" as the song! :-)

My Niece Julie and Her Boyfriend Eric

I did this for the Pages in Time Thur Sketch of the Week July 22.  I used some of the things my Fiskateers Secret Sister sent me! What fun!  When I first saw the sketch, I was a little intimidated by it, but I thought by adding the different textures with the Magic Mesh and funky wired ribbon, etc., that it worked out ok!

I'm also going to enter it to http://scrapourstash.blogspot.com/, a new challenge site I just found recently!

Stuart's 4th Birthday - 2010

7/28/2010:  I felt like something was missing here. So, I added some mist and stamping on the yellow background! I don't know if it's better or worse, but I can't change it now!

BEFORE:

I made this layout of my nephew (on my husband's side) Stuart's 4th Birthday using Sketch #134 from Sketch Inspiration!  I used the new Birthday Bash collection from Imaginisce. I also used the new I-Rock tool--first time so I didn't go too crazy with it! Green paper with dots is DCWV, green ribbon with dots is American Crafts. I don't know who made the yellow scalloped paper!

Checkers

I made this for Practical Scrappers Sketch Friday for the July 23 week.   I added some brads to enter it into Stacy's challenge at Sketches 4 All.

St. Joseph, Michigan-Lighthouse in the Fog

I made this for My Sketch World's July challenge. The crochet stars were made for me by my friend Mary!

1999 Steve's first trip to the Ocean - Take 2

7/25/2010 I changed it a little:

BEFORE:

This is for Practical Scrappers monthly challenge for July. The challenge was to use something real from the beach. I chose to add a few shells (two around the beautiful flower found in my Courage kit) to serve kind of as leaves and three more on the other side between the two pictures! I'm surprised I hadn't scrapped these pictures before, but I think it is because this was "real" film and the exposure wasn't very good. Anyway, I was glad I had them for the challenge.  The patterned paper is old--2007 Flair Designs (I won it earlier this year in a Scrapfit blog hop--pretty close to when I first opened my blog.) I also found a new site called The Latte Lounge-and this fit the challenge--so I shared it there also!

Pinwheel Card

I was really excited that my card was one of the cards Paige picked to display on Cards Magazine's blog today! Our challenge was to use pinwheel/s on a card! I don't submit very often, because I'm not that confident about my work, but I'm glad I did this week!! :-)
