Long Distance Scrap Challenge #2

Ok, we had fun with the first challenge so we decided to do it again! I think we said, "Now what?" at the same time! lol! So, my challenge this time was to use ribbon and an embossing folder. I hope the lace counts. I used it to frame the picture. Then, I used the CB butterfly die and embossing folder.

The pp and floral vine are from the latest Swirly kit. One of our very own Swirly sisters made the floral vine. You can check out her etsy shop here. I added some other Prima's to the vine and then Prima's SIIP. That's about it since my one hour was about over and it was time to post! This is a picture of me on Easter way back in 2000! Don't miss the hair but would like to be that thin again (workin' on it).

In such a hurry to post I forgot to reveal my challenge to Sheri. She had to use alcohol inks and three things from her Clip It Up. See what she did here.

Let Us Love One Another

Quick! We had one hour and two challenges to include on a new 12 x 12 lo. Sheri and I couldn't scrap together in the same room so we scrapped long distance. She gave me two challenges and I gave her two challenges. Then we had one hour to complete a lo. Well, the pizza delivery guy came and then Cody ran out the door. My dd and her friend caught Cody and we ate pizza. THEN, I got to finish the challenge (a little late). Ok, my challenge was to use my Cricut and one of my 12" Quikutz strips.

I used the latest Swirlydoos kit for this pic of my niece and nephew. The crackle paint is not quite dry on the cb bird yet! The other bird was cut with the Cricut and the swirly was cut with the E6 using a QK strip.

Now, I challenged her to use a stamp that she hadn't used in awhile and she had to make her own flowers. Go check out her challenge lo here.

Jan-Jan

Here's another lo created with Summer Serenity from Swirlydoos. It was for a challenge being hosted by Robin and is called "I'm a little bit vintage." The idea of the challenge is to scrap a baby picture of yourself and include what you were called as a baby.

When I was little people apparently thought my name was too short. My name is Jan. But people would call me Janet, Jane, or Janice when I first introduced myself. yuk! I was called Jan-Jan or Miss Jan by my family. Those names stuck and I liked them because that's what my Dad would call me. I am still a Daddy's girl; so Jan-Jan it is.

So, here's my take on it. I used pp from the kit and the Kaiser flowers. I layered the flat Kaiser flowers to make the pink buds. I used the TH pen to alter the color of bling so it matched the lo. Then I used TH crackle paint to alter the picket fence that I picked up at Joanne's. The Prima butterfly vine (minus the butterflies) was from a past kit. The doilie, vintage tag, and TH bookplate were from my stash.

It's official, I am now a "city girl"

To do List:

So, then it's time to scrap! Yay! I was working on my third lo when the neighbor rang my doorbell. I thought little Brenner must have gotten out but she didn't have him when I answered the door. hmmmm.... She was a little upset and shaking. What is up? She told me "my boys" (a 9 lb. Bichon and 5 lb. Yorkie) were in the back yard killing a bunny. I pretty much shut the door in her face to run out the back door.

Sure enough! They were playing with a tiny bunny. The poor thing was squeaking. I grabbed him up and half the fur on his back was gone. My boys were trying to remove his squeaker, which is what they do to all of their toys. I wrapped the poor guy in a towel and ran over to another neighbor's house because she volunteers at the Wildlife Rescue Center. We took the little guy to the Rescue Center and I hoped he would be alright.

I got a tour of the place and by the time we were ready to leave I found out they were putting the poor little guy to sleep. Too much of his skin was missing and they said he wouldn't make it. ***sniff, sniff*** Poor guy. I guess I am no longer a country girl because growing up in the country we would never have considered rushing a bunny to the Rescue Center. He would have been put out of his misery on the spot curtesy of one of my brother's rifles. I am still sorry the little guy didn't make it.

Another heritage layout

Here's another lo using pictures from my Grandma's scrapbook.

I used papers from the July Swirlydoos kit for this. The doily that was included in the kit was used as a mask around the outer edge of the cardstock. I added a 7G card from a past kit as well as some Prima buds and other flowers. The large flower is made from the tissue paper of a shirt pattern. I added some Prima leaves from my stash. The BG journaling block was included in the kit. This is Graham Bishop playing with Grandpa and Grandpa Bishop's dog, Butch.
