July 4th layouts

I can't believe the 4th of July is just around the corner. Kadoodle Bug Designs has a contest over on their facebook page: Create a 1 or 2 page scrapbook page showcasing a 4th of July family tradition.
For this challenge I created both a traditional scrapbook page and a digital scrapbook page. 


Scrappy Moms Stamps has a Patriotic challenge going on at their blog. 


For this layout I mixed pieces from 6 different KaDoodle Bug Designs sets.  I used Coolin' and Chillin', A Blasting 4^th , Popsicles and Fireworks, Cool Treats, Monkey with cupcake and Baking with mommy   

For the digital layout I used A Blasting 4th from KaDoodle Bug Designs and pieces from a blog train called Country Pride.

Hope everyone has a safe and Happy 4th of July! 

popping by to wish you a happy birthday

Sweet Sketch Wednesday's sketch this week was an easy one to play along with.


For my card I used a white card base and inked the edges with SU!'s Marina Mist. I printed off some digital pages from Mags Graphics collection called Lakehouse.
The challenge this week on Kadoodle Bug Designs facebook page is to mix and match at least 2Kadoodle Bug Designs paper peicing patterns to create a new pattern so I mixed up two past freebies, Bubble Blowing Fun and Christmas dog peeker pattern sets to create the little doggie. The little bones are brads I had in my stash.  

Mother to be

Little Scraps of Heaven had a cute sketch this week. So I played along. 

I used Mother to be, Be my baby babies and Lace circle. To create my card 

flowers for you

I've had a project in mind for the last 3 challenges Little Scraps of Heaven has hosted but time slipped away each week. This week I was determined to play along with this sketch.

Here is my take on the sketch

I used 3 different files to create this card. The Turtle is from Turtle Valentine, the flower petals and leaves are from Daisy and the stem and bee is from Spring has Sprung.
