Lawn Fanatics Challenge #41

Hello!

I am playing along with the latest Lawn Fanatics challenge, shaped cards. I decided to make a shadow box/shaker card.

I added Nuvo glimmer paste to the tops of the hills and also added a 3rd hill. The very back panel holds a shaker window. 

I've used images from the Lawn Fawn For you Deer, Winter Village and Simple Celebrate Winter stamp sets.

Thanks for taking a look!

Wednesday Challenge-Red, White and Blue 07/04

Hello!

It's my first time playing along with the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge. I'm on vacation and brought along some yet to be used SSS card kits and a few crafting supplies.

I stamped the SSS Floral Bliss large image in the corners of this square piece of card stock using the Gina K wreath builder stencil and Altenew Permanent Black Crisp Ink. I filled in areas with the bud stamp and circle stamp from the set as well.

The images are then coloured with the challenge colours, red and blue; leaving some white-space as well, with Altenew Artist Markers.

The sentiment is stamped with the Ranger Archival Ink and heat embossed with clear embossing powder. Unfortunately I forgot to bring along my stash of gems and sequins so I'll have to add those to the card when I return home.

Thanks for taking a look!

**New** SOUS Project Life Challenge

Welcome to the latest and also the last Project Life Challenge from Stuck On U Sketches. 

WOODGRAIN

Here's my week 34 Project Life layout:

You can't tell by the photo but the white 4x6 card is woodgrain card stock. I've also used a strip of woodgrain paper behind the 34 and created a 3x4 filler card with woodgrain paper as well.

Thank you so much for stopping by and thank you to SOUS for all the PL challenges! Although the challenges will not continue, I will still be working on my 2014 version of Project Life and posting the pages here. I hope you'll continue to pop in and check out my PL.

**New SOUS** Project Life Challenge

Hello Everyone!
So glad to have you stop by for the latest Stuck On U Sketches Project Life challenge:

I must admit I was feeling a bit challenged with this, thinking these are Halloween colours but I would be using them for summer photos.

As you can see see I opted to use charcoal instead of black, lots of white elements and a happy orange with a small touch of sky blue so this page feels bright and not theme-y.

Remember with a challenge of any kind, you can interpret it in a way that works for you, especially with a colour challenge, there are many different shades of these colours you can use to make them fit with your photos.

Please link us up with your take on this challenge over at Stuck On U Sketches, thanks for stopping by!

**New SOUS Project Life Challenge**

Another super fun Project Life Challenge brought to you by Stuck On U Sketches

I did a search and Pinterest and there are LOTS of "keep calm..." card ideas. I wanted to use a Yoda card but it didn't work with this week's spread so here's what I chose instead:

{supplies: PL Midnight core kit; stickers, chipboard Teresa Collins "Hello My Name Is" quote card printed from Pinterest}

Link up your "Keep Calm and..." project over at SOUS. I'd love to see what you come up with!

Thanks for stopping by :)

Now, on to the latest Project Life Challege!!!

There are so many ways to incorporate this challenge in to your Project Life spread or if you're like me and were a bit shy on the photos for the week, it gave me a great jumping off point to fill my pockets ;)).

One of my favourite techniques is heat embossing and so I pulled out a couple of stamps and embossing ink and powder to add metallic gold to this spread. I stamped 'hello life' and 'the facts', both Ali Edwards stamps for Technique Tuesday and gold heat embossed. The 4x6 sheet with 'the facts' embossed is a snippet of one of my "to-do" lists.

Here's a close up of the 'hello life' card which is a 3x4 Project Life blank card that I stamped with embossing ink then covered with gold detailed embossing powder and heat set.

The top and bottom right pockets contain cuts from WRMK Metallic Sheets. The top left card was cut from Studio Calico "All that Glitters" paper. The numbers are Thicker Chit Chat glitter letter stickers, small alphas/numbers are Teresa Collins Basically Essential Alpha Stickers.

That's my PL layout for this challenge, I hope you'll join myself and the entire SOUS Project Life Design Team in this challenge! I'm looking forward to reading your comments and feel free to ask any questions regarding my process or layout as well!!

**New** Stuck On U Sketches Project Life Challenge!

Hello and welcome to the latest Project Life Challenge from SOUS:

and here is my page:

you can see I've used twin in a couple of places, one as a border around a note my son brought home from kindergarten and the second on my "title" card for the page itself. You can see I only had one photo from the week so the note from my son and an info letter for my other son became part of this page to fill in.

Participate in this challenge or any of the other SOUS challenges for a chance to win a prize from our August Sponsor

**New**Project Life Challenge from Stuck On U Sketches!!

Hi Everyone!

Welcome to the latest SOUS Project Life challenge. This is another fun and easy challenge:

I had lots of quote cards to choose from in my stash but you can make your own as well!

Here is my PL layout:

{Project Life Seafoam Core Kit; Teresa Collins Albums Made Easy for WRMK}

Isn't the 4x6 card sweet? I just love the glittered word! It reads "It's A Wonderful Life".

I was light on photos for this week so I added a tag from an item of clothing I purchased in the far left pocket.

I hope you'll play with this week's challenge as it's a super easy one! Link us up to your project at SOUS and you'll be entered in a draw for this fabulous prize from our August sponsor

**New** Stuck On U Sketches Project Life Challenge!!!

Hello and welcome to the latest Project Life Challenge from SOUS!

This is a fun challenge and if you don't have Stickles you can use any sort of glitter glue.

Here is my spread for this challenge:

*New* SOUS Project Life Challenge

Hello and thanks for dropping in for another Stuck On U Sketches Project Life Challenge.

Your challenge this week is to add TEXTURE.

{PL design A page protectors, SN@P Cards, American Crafts Clementine Core Kit}

The upper left hand card has 2 examples of texture. I mixed Teresa Collins Basically Essential Modeling Paste with AC Wow Extra Fine Aqua Glitter and applied to a 4x6 piece of light aqua card stock using a Teresa Collins stencil. I've added more texture by embossing the blue cardstock flag and layering that on the stencilled cardstock.
I really like that these challenges provide a great opportunity to play with some techniques that I don't use a bunch on a small scale. It's not so stressful working with a little used on a small scale ;))

I hope you'll play along with this PL challenge or any of the June SOUS challenges to be entered to win some blog candy from our June sponsor

any 3 sets from the store

Once again, thanks for stopping by :)
