Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge 123

At the moment I'm a bit obsessed with the Cosmo Cricket line "Early Bird" & I used it again for the Sweet Sunday Sketch.

I loved how simple this card design was. It came together very quickly!

Materials:

Stamps: n/a

Paper: Bo Bunny, Bazzill, Basic Grey

Ink: n/a

Accessories: Cosmo Cricket cardstock elements, Sharpie pen, brads

I loved this card design so much I whipped out another one. I got my inspiration from this card. Again, I only used the cardstock stickers & elements, so it was super easy.

Materials:

Stamps: n/a

Paper: Stampin' Up, We R Memory Keepers, My Mind's Eye

Ink: n/a

Accessories: We R Memory Keepers cardstock stickers, Uniball Signo pen, brads

Gettin' Crafty!

Woo hoo! I was feeling some artistic motivation the other day! (After seeing this inspiring post.) I've been thinking about some new art projects to try out in second grade... and I had the girls test out this one with me. We started out by painting colored paper (instead of tissue paper... I was just using what we had on hand.)

We added different designs and patterns using materials from around the house... see the potato masher in the photo above?

Of course, Miss Meri ended up with quite a bit of paint on her...

After letting the paint dry over night, we started cutting out shapes and pieces. We glued those to a sheet of white paper in random designs.

This is Alison's finished "painted paper masterpiece".

Here is Merilyn's finished product...

Here is what I came up with as I tried to recreate this idea. I will definitely try this project in the classroom... and I will use a combination of tissue paper and cardstock for the different dimensions, textures, etc. Check out this website; it's full of wonderful crafty ideas!

Mojo Monday Week 197

I used all of the scraps and left-overs from this layout to create the Mojo Monday card. There wasn't any stamping involved... but I love the ease of chipboard elements. :)

Materials:

Stamps: n/a

Paper: Bazzill, Cosmo Cricket

Ink: n/a

Accessories: Cosmo Cricket "Early Bird" cardstock & paper elements, ribbon

Finally...

a layout! Why is it that now, when I have the time & freedom to scrap, I am lacking any motivation?! Argh! This layout took me at least a week to finish. It stayed on my desk and I would come back to it... slowly.

All supplies are from Cosmo Cricket's "Early Bird" line. I got my sketch/layout ideas from this one and this one.
