Living In The Positive

A New Challenge Blog and a DT Call!

2012-01-22T21:30:00.000-06:00

"Child's Play" challenge blog (http://childsplaychallenges.blogspot.com/2011/12/new-challenge-blog-and-dt-call.html) is going to have challenges using toys and games as inspiration. I have an 8 y/o boy soon to be 9 y/o on March 27th. This blog is right up my alley. For example, this toy inspired a robot layout:

Here is what I created called "Programmed To Love":

Christmas In July: Unscripted Sketches

2011-07-28T05:00:00.013-05:00

Thanks for participating with the Christmas in July celebration at Unscipted Sketches. And thanks for stopping by my blog. I have prepared some Christmas cards to show off for this celebration. Here they are:

Take care and have a blessed day.

Gimme a "S".

2011-07-08T22:12:00.000-05:00

Gimme a "S" for sweetness. Pink Paislee sure embodied some sweetness when they created the Sweetness line (http://stores.ebay.com/Flamingo-Scraps/Pink-Paislee-/_i.html?_fsub=712517012&_sid=80746702&_trksid=p4634.c0.m322).
This line inspired me to make a mother and son creation with some wood, a Sweetness heart die cut, ribbon and flowers.

Here is what I started out with........

Are you ready for some sweetness?

====================================

supplies: misc flowers won from Tara Orr, Ashland spring floral bushes # 164617, sheer ribbon, Greenbrier Intl wood word "Family" # 947529, Studio 18 rhinestone strass # 164617, Pink Paislee "Love Lettters" 12x12 # 00378 (Sweetness line), Pink Paislee "Canvas Borders" # 00388 (Sweetness line), Pink Paislee "Paper Heart" die cut # 00382 (Sweetness line). http://cgi.ebay.com/Pink-Paislee-SWEETNESS-Collection-PAPER-HEART-DIE-CUT-/150504588068?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item230ac5c324

Pink Paislee papers sure are "Fetching".

2011-07-08T22:09:00.000-05:00

When I think of Pink Paislee, I think "fetching". Their patterned papers are so "fetching" that I bought the last of the "Fetching" line from the "Flamingo Scraps" ebay store. They do have lot of other Pink Paislee lines though (http://stores.ebay.com/Flamingo-Scraps/Pink-Paislee-/_i.html?_fsub=712517012&_sid=80746702&_trksid=p4634.c0.m322).

Here is a card and layout I made with the Pink Paislee "Charming" and "Appealing" patterened paper from the Fetching line.

============================================

card supplies: Halcraft blank white card, sheer ribbon, Studio G stamp "Happy Everything" # 1075950, Pink Paislee "Appealing" 12x12 # 00175, Prima Flower "Love Letter Roses Jude" # 542726

The Great American Scrapbook Convention: 6-24-2011 to 6-25-2011

2011-06-25T20:34:00.000-05:00

I am having an awesome weekend. I am hanging out in Chantilly, VA doing some cropping and shopping at the Great American Scrapbook Convention (GASC) (https://www.eiseverywhere.com/ehome/index.php?eventid=20168&). I got to see some old scrappin buddies, lots of vendors, and goodies. To top it off today, I won a door prize from Scrapbook Fun Addicts (http://www/scrapbookfunaddicts.com) and $100 worth of products from Quick Quotes (http://www.shopquickquotes.com). I was taking some pictures at the front of the Dulles Expo Center. A lady came up to me. She said "did you know that Quick Quotes is giving away $100 worth of products". I said "yes I knew". She said "here you are." I gave her a big hug. She took my pick and got my buiness card so she can put me on the Quick Quotes site. Whooohoooo! I am still excited. Anyway!

I also got to meet Jen Chesnick (an awesome SB designer and Facebook friend).

And guess what else? Northridge Publishing was having an awesome sale the last few minutes of the convention. I got 3 magazines for $5. Whoooohooo!

Here are a couple of pics I took......

Unscripted Sketches: Sketch # 107

2011-05-26T15:17:00.000-05:00

It’s time for our monthly PIGGYBACK CHALLENGE! If you haven’t played along with us before on a piggyback week, it is simply an additional, optional challenge that gives you an opportunity to further exercise your creativity! Whether you choose to add the piggyback challenge element to your project will in no way effect consideration for Top 3 or other prizes.

The piggyback challenge this time is to USE METAL on your project. Now would be a good time to pull out all those brads, eyelets, etc. that you bought because they were “just so cute!” and never used. Perhaps you aren’t a paper crafter and choose to alter a paint bucket, beach pail, lunch box or other item! They make for fun and unusual graduation gift packaging! I know I’ve got a lot of great metal embellishments that I’ve never used, too, so good luck and have fun with it!

Before and After

This week is Teacher Appreciation Week. I got my sons Teacher a bag of goodies (post it notes, post it flags, pens, notepads, a CD, a card, and other goodies). I also altered a clipboard. Somebody put these clipboards on a swap table at a crop that I went to. I immediately grabbed them up. Anyway, here is the before and after:

PIGGYBACK CHALLENGE

http://unscriptedsketches.com/2011/04/unscripted-sketches-102-piggyback/

It’s time for our monthly PIGGYBACK CHALLENGE! If you haven’t played along with us before on a piggyback week, it is simply an additional, optional challenge. Whether you choose to add the piggyback challenge element to your project will in no way effect consideration for Top 3 or other prizes.

Earth Day this coming Friday, so, in recognition of that, the piggyback is to USE SOMETHING RECYCLED in your project. You could use a craft item in a unique way, or use something that you’ve had forever (use it in a new, fresh way instead of throwing it away), but also, you could use something that isn’t normally used as a craft item. Cardboard from a cereal box as the base for the cover of a mini album, crepe paper or tissue paper from your last birthday to make a flower to decorate another gift or card, etc. You get the idea. Have fun with it! Good luck and have fun with it!

Unscripted Sketches: sketch # 102

2011-04-16T08:00:00.010-05:00

To promote *Earth Day* that is the Friday before this sketch goes live, the DT was to recycle something. I used the insert of some Prima flowers (#716424 Summer Mix) to stamp *Happy Everything*.

Welcome to Paper Tree House Studio's Friends, Love, and Faith Blog Hop. Today, we're out in force on the internet -- showing our faith and giving the glory to God. United, we stand as Christian paper crafters and blog owners to make a presence on the internet for all to see.

We're celebrating the theme of faith and we're happy to share our projects with you based on the verse:

Once you gather all of the words, you will have another special Scripture to inspire you to create while leaving His legacy. Then send us an email at mypapertreehousedt@gmail.com listing each of the staff members who participated in today's hop and the completed Scripture. It's that easy. All entries must be received by Monday, February 28, 2011 at 12 noon, EST and seven winners will be randomly chosen to win.

Here is a layout called "PAWS"itively Sweet that was inspired by a layout by Tonya Dirk.

2010-11-15T12:14:00.000-06:00

Scrapbooks Trends published a layout in the Oct 2010 issue on page 119 by Tonya Dirk called "Every Day You Blossom A Little More". A lady sitting next to me at a crop this past weekend actually tore out the page and gave it to me. She said this looks like something that I would do. When I saw it I immediately wanted to do it. Thanks Tonya and the lady next to me for the inspiration!
