Creative Scrappers teamed up with the White with One challenge Blog for a wonderful reveal!
Using Creative Scrappers sketch #255, we were to ONLY use the color Blueberry along with White! Ack! I never realized how little dark blue I had in my stash! It certainly was a challenge for me, but I loved it! It forced me out of my comfort zone of colors, and I really enjoyed the process.
I thought I'd try posting a short video of my cats playing "Cat Paint" on my iPad... Not sure if this will work, but it's only a short clip... fingers crossed!
This app is like crack to Ralphie and Roxy, every time they see my iPad in hand they come running, asking to play a "canvas" or two ;-)
Here is my take on this weeks Creative Scrappers sketch #254! It has a mixture of a lot of products, and I think that is what I like most about it (besides the super adorable photo of my Ralphie of course).
There is a bit of American Crafts, October afternoon, Heidi Swapp, Studio Calico, Amy Tangerine, Echo Park, Freckled Fawn and even a few BH Project life cards added for layering! (I used an exacto knife and cut out half of the heart on a PL card so I could layer it with my journaling card).
I'm so happy that I captured this photo showing Ralphie's bright blue kitten eyes, as it wasn't long after that they faded into a muted grayish color.
It's no secret. I love owls! I'm not sure when it began, but it slowly crept up on me around the time I began My Little Bit of Whimsy and I started making them out of polymer clay. Fast forward to a few years later, and our house is filled with owl images and figurines!
I adore them, and have always loved the idea of painting my own wall art... so when I came across Juliette Crane's "How to Paint an Owl" class, it seemed like a perfect fit!
Here is my first painted owl (no mixed media, straight up paint!) I'm loving this class and her technique!
Thanks for stopping by!

Another wonderful sketch to share with you today from Creative Scrappers! Here is my take on the sketch, using a mix of Hambly, American Crafts and Studio Calico. I tend to stick with entire lines of product, thus ensuring that everything matches etc... but every now and again I like to create my own little kit to work with and just pull from my stash as needed! I love the end results, and really need to do this more often :)
Good Morning!
Here is the latest sketch from Creative Scrappers! I loved working with this sketch this week. The vertical strips of paper really got me out of my head space, as it isn't something I would do on my own normally. I used some of my hoarded Hambly woodgrain stash to really give it a good pop of color.
I've really been trying to use up my current supplies before buying new... "Stashbusting 2013" continues!
Here are a couple layouts I worked on last weekend, using mostly Studio Calico kits.
I ended up killing two entire kits (yay!).
I'd love to be able to use up my monthly Studio Calico kit before the next one arrives and not have anything sit unused for a length of time. *Sigh* I'll get there one of these days.... ;-)
Just a quick note today,
Hope you are all well

I am thrilled to show you my take on the Scrapbook and Cards Today Color Suite September Challenge! I've never done a color challenge before, so it was new and exciting for me to stretch my creative muscle this way. I really enjoyed the process, and look forward to following the SCT color challenges going forward. (If you would like to be inspired by previous challenges, go HERE)
Here is the Color Suite that Summer Fullerton put together for us to use as inspiration:
