<br />
Hi all, as you can see it's been some time since I've actually blogged about anything. I have an exciting project to share with you all. I am a new member of the <a href="http://2craftygirlschallenges.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">2 Crafty Girls </a>Design Team and this is my project for their August challenge! I had to use this adorable crab from Bugaboo Stamps and go with the beach theme. I have a crazy paper collection so I went with Cosmo Cricket's Salt Air Collection. Please visit 2 Crafty Girls and join in on the summer fun. When you post your project please link it back to the blog so we can give it some love! Enjoy summer!<br />
<br />
Here is the challenge<br />

Case File #111-First day of 4thI had just enough time this afternoon to work up this layout. <a href="http://csicolorstoriesinspiration.ning.com/" target="_blank"> Case File #111</a> has a perfect girly color palette to use for Viv's first day of 4th grade picture. To solve the case I used polka dots, stickers and a border. For the journaling challenge I sprinkled journaling words around the top portion of the page and also used the inspiration words enjoy and friends. I am enjoying using my stash, especially the Sass Lass papers, they are so delish! This sketch is from<a href="http://creativescrappers.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"> Creative Scrappers</a>, I would venture to say several years back, I always love how my pages turn out when I use this sketch, plus, it's a great way to use up paper scraps. Thanks for looking. <br />

I love that I am actually excited about creating with paper again. I hope my excitement sticks and I continue to make time to take pictures of my kids and capture their memories in scrapbooking. At any rate, here is Creative Scrappers sketch #262...<br />

I found this layout to be challenging, as I didn't have an easy resource for chevrons. I found some fun Sassafras Lass paper, Nerdy Bird, in my stash and began cutting. Also, both my sewing machines are faulty, so I drew pencil lines instead of sewing. Overall, I'm happy with it and glad I took on the challenge! </div>

Finally, I've been inspired to scrapbook again! Maybe it's the weather and having one too many snow days! At any rate, I was inspired by this cool sketch from Creative Scrappers. Creative Scrappers is a place where I used to always draw inspiration from, so I jumped in and here it is...a nice summer layout of Sylvia! </div>

I taped around the bottom and top of the box, covered in white paper and then wrapped around with white crepe paper.

Aside from the fantastic papers, there is high-end chipboard-I kept this natural and love how it works on the page.

The possibilities with this are endless, you could use it as a sketch to create a layout/card or you could use the colors, swirls, ribbon as embellishing inspiration! Get creative and make something inspired by this banner. I chose to create a card purse using a template from <a href="http://shop.scrapmatters.com/">Krisis Kreations</a>. Here's a teaser for it! What a great idea for all of those beautiful cards! It's also a perfect gift box if you create a lovely card set for someone. <br />

I decided to make 3 cards. I had a busy schedule earlier this month and I was able to create these THREE beautiful cards quickly. This is what makes these Graphic 45 papers and this kit so great-you can take time and work in a multitude of details or you can create a quick set of cards using their versatile die-cuts and beautiful papers and it looks like you spent a lot of time on them. <br />

There are some projects posted on the blog, debuting <a href="http://leaveapapertrail.com/zencart/">March's Paper Kit</a> that will put a spring in your step without a doubt. Imagine a world full of pixies and gardens and you will be delighted to find this month's kit. A sure cure for the winter blues! For my first project I created a recipe box diorama. I was inspired to alter a recipe box into a spring time decoration. I fussy cut some of the pixies, butterflies and book. Using a pop-up idea, I added dimension. It was a fun project that I will use for decoration in one of my daughter's bedrooms. </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">The challenge for <a href="http://trailmakers.blogspot.com/">Trail Makers</a> this round is to use the lyrics from <em>Endless Love</em> by Lionel Ritchie. You can use as much of the song or a little as you like. You could use it as a title, as journaling, or just a side note. I used the lyric "I can't resist your charm" and chose to use "Your Charm" as the title. I journaled around the paper block and photo. I used February's Kit which is full of Pink Paislee goodness! The only items I used aside from the kit are the Pink Paislee alphabet stickers and the American Crafts Alphabet stickers. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj39krlBUfbPn5ag23s8JpmoYn9oczHfT3RDiCXM-WNprL2KQqh2TRXJ1chgdRGi2W1bofnMWXGy2RRnogMiY0UMEZ370SMcG9b1XprtLkk8nEqzwOb7bSBbduCHOcAZD8-PotB5Rnh003A/s1600/your+charm+trail+makers.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br />

It certainly had me thinking outside the "box". I decided to alter a small, $1.00 Valentine chocolate heart box using February's kit-which as I had mentioned before, is fabulous! This altered heart box could be used to house a mini album, an accordian heart card, or to hold a gift card. Aside for using it for Valentine's Day, it could also be used for a wedding gift or for Mother's Day-another example of this kit's versatility. At any rate, here's how I followed the recipe: Lace, Ribbon, Tag, and Stamp. I decided to emphasize the word "love" by stamping it multiple times on the tag. The stamps were provided by this month's sponsor <a href="http://www.mypinkstamper.com/">My Pink Stamper</a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_4GOFigidmaQ/TULrQmnkt7I/AAAAAAAAAnU/el64kP_8F0I/s1600/MPSBlinkie.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" s5="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_4GOFigidmaQ/TULrQmnkt7I/AAAAAAAAAnU/el64kP_8F0I/s1600/MPSBlinkie.gif" /></a></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"></div>Along with February's kit I used a small Valentine chocolate box, pearls, Glimmermist and platinum Stickles. <br />

I found it to be the perfect fit for this photo of my middle daughter-who is our girly girl. It is chock full of floral Pink Paislee goodness with beautiful coordinating embellishments ranging from Prima, ribbons, buttons, badges, and more! It was an added bonus to get to use the stamps from our February sponsor, <a href="http://www.mypinkstamper.com/">My Pink Stamper</a>. The sentiments work with this kit perfectly. Aside from kit materials, I used an extra piece of ribbon, alphabet stickers and ink. <br />

<br />
And here's the sketch that I created. If you go through all the blogs you will be able to see everyone else's sketch. Better yet go to the <a href="http://www.letscaptureourmemories.com/forum/index.php">forum</a> and see them all in one place!<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
And my card to go with my sketch. Can you guess what my secret element is? If you guess my secret element and use it on your card or layout, you will get an extra point. Check out the forum or the other blogs and see who else used it. That will give you some help!<br />

It was to get creative and create your own embellishments! Perfect for tightening the purse strings after Christmas. For this challenge I created pleated flowers using coordinating paper from Basic Grey's Green at Heart line. Plus, another penny pinching piece on my layout is using poor photos. I printed these pictures and once printed, I realized I was out of several colors of ink-and they printed with a pink tint, then the pink ink ran out and faded into yellow. Instead of throwing them away, I used them on this page. I think they worked with the silly theme of the layout. <br />
<br />
Have a look...<br />
