May Flowers

I was kind of excited to do the challenge over at Once upon a sketch Journalling Theme: "My favorite month" since we have snow and its so darn cold it was a pleasure to think about my favorite month...which just happens to be May....all the thoughts of pretty flowers and warmer weather....just perfect! I also played along with 123 get scrappy....

here is what I came up with....

 there is hidden journaling on the rt the greenish journal tag pulls out...I just explained what makes May my favorite month.

 I need to learn how to hold the camera straight LOL

Good morning my scrappy friends...I wanted to share a layout I finished last night...I kind of combined a couple challenges so bare with me...first I used all the ingredients from the A2ZScapplets challenge-

The ingredients are-the colour red-material or felt-sewing, (machine, hand, or faux)-more than 1 photo

-paint or mist -an A2Z scraplet (Chipboard). Then I used a bottle cap for the challenge over at Scrap for Help.....finally I used the tic tac toe board from 123 get scrappy... here is what I came up with...

 Not so much a real smile just a smirk!

 I used a circle stencil for my texture paste and a smaller circle stencil with ink....the chipboard piece is in the upper rt hand corner..I used a pearl painter dabber and red paint I used my heat gun to make it bubble ..love that effect!

Don't you just love the butterflies...I am proud to say I did those LOL I actually made those for a crafty game on one of the FB groups I belong to and I had no idea what I was going to do with them after since I made them on a piece of scrap canvas....I thought they went pretty well with this page so I stitched them right to the layout!

Love walks on the beach

Happy Monday...I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend...mine was a crafty weekend since I was all alone... Anyway ....even though its not my week I still decided to use (as inspiration only not to participate in their challenge) the new sketch that was revealed this morning over at Lets Get Sketchy.....make sure you head over there and check out what the wonderful design team has come up with!

now I had other inspiration for this layout...while I was looking through friends blogs I stumbled upon the ARTastic challenge blog and they had such a cool watercolor for inspiration...Criteria – Raid the kids craft cupboard or pull out those old watercolour pencils you have had forever - let’s try a little paint and water on our page!  If you don't have specific watercolour paints then by all means use the normal variety but please water these down so the look is more wishy washy.

and then over at the New 123 Get scrappy Challenge blog they have a tic tac toe board

 I used paint,free spot and brads
