Dog Gone Tired

I had some extra time to play around with my scrapbooking this weekend and was able to complete a few LOs!! Gotta love a lazy weekend!! (Although I wouldn't say it was too lazy... I managed to get all the walls and trim washed down in about 7 rooms and touched up the trim with fresh paint!! That's productive, right?!) So this LO was done from a sketch I found at Practical Scrappers. It is of my daughter, Lauren, and our dog Jasmine... who seems to be totally enjoying herself!!  LOL!! So, I decided to stitch the flower which I thought was a great idea until I was only half way done and realized how rediculously long it was taking!! To add a little extra, I strung on a few beads... really like the way that looks!!

Cartridges are Graphically Speaking and All Mixed UP
Paper is DCVW and American Crafts

As always, thank you for stopping by my blog and looking at my LO!! Have a fabulous Sunday!

The Hunt is On!

Well... I barely got this done on time, but I did get a LO done for this weeks Stuck On U Sketches!! Whew... nothing like waiting until the last minute!

So, over at Stuck On You Sketches, Liz Qualman designed a sketch specifically for this weeks challenge! How fun!! I decided to do a LO from last Easter of my youngest daughter doing the Easter egg hunt! I know... she looks so sweet and innocent... but believe me, you do not want to get between her and a new found Easter egg!! She WILL win!!

I know, I know... this page looks like it was attacked by Stickles... and it was!! LOL!! I decided I wasn't going to chalk or ink any of the edges so I had to use something else!! Actually this is so Lauren... the more sparkles the better!! The Easter eggs were made with printed paper that I embossed with my cuttlebug and then outlined the designs with stickles.... I love the way they turned out!! I just wish the colors showed up better in the photos... they are so much more vibrant in person!

I also did something fun with the title... I used Glossy Accents to cover the letters that I had detailed with a Souffle pen!! Aren't they so cool?!! This is my new favorite product to play with... you will also see it on my Frosted Designs LO that will be posted in the morning!!

I wanted to join in on the fun over at Stuck on U Sketches again this week... but time seemed to be working against me! (I am trying to paint rooms, clean closets and all the other things you do before you sell your house!) Anyway... I did a get a LO done, and after a few revisions, I have one I can post... but I know I will still make changes to it. After adding some Stickles and some hand stitching using Souffle pens, I like it a little better... Oh well, here it is!
