Yahoo, I got some time this morning to play with the Dollies! I combined all three challenges for this week. First I loved that wonderful sketch by Kristy, then the colors were monochromatic blue, and the element was birthday! This just came together!
Here's the sketch:

Good Evening,
I've got a layout to share this evening. I wanted to hit the other two challenges for the Design Dollies this week, so I did a "twofer". The first is to craft about resolutions and the second is this fabby little sketch.

And this is my take on the sketch. You can click the photo for a better view at some of my goals/resolutions. I'm also entering this one in The Scrap Room Blog challenge for this week, to share your goals for the new year.

Good Morning,

Are you staying warm? Is it snowing where you live? We are expecting 8-10 inches through today and tomorrow. That is in addition to the 8 inches we currently have! I'm not worried about this storm, as the snow is going to be dry and fluffy. It is the heavy wet stuff that got us before. Wherever you are, stay warm and scrap!

I got to play all day yesterday and the first card I'm sharing is one for my Dollies! It has been far too long since I've been able to play with Leah and the other Dollies. Their color challenge is red, yellow, and blue. I had this CTMH pp that was perfect for that! I need to send some congrats to a friend on her recent accomplishment. I really love how this looks in the end.

Good Frosty Morning,
I have lots to share this morning... Today is the last day for the online crop at Practical Scrappers. I do hope that you've been visiting and playing. Kerri has lots of fun challenges and games going on. I'm currently fighting for a bottle of Strawberry Stickles, lol. Anyways, her second challenge is feast or football. Although I am a HUGE football fan, I chose to do one about the feast. I used the fabby sketch over at the Design Dollies this week for my inspiration.

While I was using the sketch, I thought, why not go for the color challenge as well. This was a challenge. I had both colors in Bazzill, but a pattern paper was had to find (believe it or not-in my huge stash)

And this is the finished layout. The element challenge at the Dollies was to use flowers, lots of them, I used eleven. In the end I was really happy with the results. I have one flower that is photographing darker. It blends very nicely irl. I do hope you get a chance to play with the Dollies this week and don't forget you still have ALL DAY to play in the online crop at Practical Scrappers!

Tea Time....

Yay, it is Saturday!
I have the Little Kids coming to visit today, so I'm going to make this a quick post. I decided to combine the three challenges this week at Design Dollies. The first one is to use peach and burgundy colors. The second is to use some type of stitching. I used my good ole Bazzill stitches template and stitched down my peach border.

The final challenge is to use this fabby sketch by Kristy.

And here is what I came up with! My paper is a light peach, not really the color I needed, but it was all I had. The Prima flowers are more the peachy color I wanted. I like how it turned out. I've just been waiting for that something special to do with this photo, now thanks to Kristy's sketch and my Dollies, Leah, and Adina, I scrapped it! Yay!

Good Saturday Morning,
I have finally got a chance to use Kristy's sketch for the final challenge at Design Dollies for the week. I loved the sketch Kristy! At first I wanted this to be a layout, then I changed my mind and decided to make a card instead. I used a image from Reece Designs at Digital-Ink Co. The pattern paper is all scraps! I love how this one turned out! Head on over to Design Dollies and play before you run out to time! Great prizes to be won! I hope you are all enjoying your weekend thus far!

Here is Kristy's sketch, isn't it great?
