My Creative Time ~ Scrappy Monday Layout Challenge!

Hello Everyone!

And a happy Monday to you!  I hope you all had a wonderful weekend!  Mine was busy and relaxing at the same time.  I got a lot of things done, but also did somethings for myself!  I'm not going to keep you too long with my stuff since there is alot to see and this is my first of two posts today!

This week's challenge at My Creative Time is a sketch challenge and to incorporate any type of "Fibers" onto our layout! example: jute, burlap, twine, hemp etc...Good thing I just happen to know where I can get some fibers and trims! :)

I hope you don't get tired of see layouts without photos.  I made this for a wedding we will be going to this weekend!  It will be the first time I've had my girls together since Christmas. As they get older, it's harder to get a family picture!  So I'm planning ahead!

Howdy Ho!

I hope you're enjoying your week so far...mine is so busy, but that's what make life fun!  Welcome to the Terrific Tuesday Challenge with Scrappy Moms Stamps, this week we are using Paisley cartridge.  Well guess what, that's a cartridge I don't have!  I can hardly believe it myself!  So I decided to use Nate's ABC's because it had a similar pair of rain boots.  That's what's awesome about their challenge, if you don't have a cartridge they're using just pick a similar cut from another cartridge!  Now on to my card...

Nate's ABC's Cricut Cartridge

rain boots scene cut at 3.90 x 3.12

I cut the umbrella off and the scene twice and did some paper piecing
