Creative Corner Challenges - All White + One Other Color

Hi all! Welcome to another fabulous week of creations found over at Creative Corner Challenges! The theme for this week is All White + One Other Color. I'm not gonna lie...this.was.tough. I spent a great deal of time thinking on what I should do for this project. I went through THREE images because I added one extra color that I shouldn't have!

I am loving the anchor image (found at Michaels in the clearance bin!), and I always associate it with the word hope -->see Hebrews 6:19.

Here is my card that I created!

I hope you will join us and create something fabulous!

Atlantic Hearts Sketch #140

Okay, so just one more post for 2015! :D I couldn't resist!

I'm entering this sketch today from Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge as a fun little end of year page! I love it! It is my fifth child's First Christmas, and I love how the photos from his photoshoot turned out! 

I picked up a gold Recollections paper pack from Michaels at the beginning of December and the gold backdrop works well with the shine! (I love shiny things!) The sentiment is from a Project Life pack (and we all know how I love to keep packaging right? *insert sarcasm*) 

Here it is!

~happy crafting and a many blessings and adventures in the New Year!~

Creative Corner Challenges - BOOOOO!

October?! Wow! Welcome to another challenge with Team Jess over at Creative Corner Challenges
Today's challenge is a Boo-ti-ful one! Our theme is BOOOO! and anything goes!

I found inspiration for my project here at One Krafty Kat.

I made this into a piece of wall art that I will post in my front hall this month. Lots of fun Graphic45 paper used on this one today! 'Steampunk Spells' As well as some Tim Holtz Distress Inks and Stickles. The owl stamp image is from Michaels many years ago!

Some of my weekend finds!

I took a trip to the "big city" this past weekend....SASKATOON! ooh, ahhh! 

I was able to spend the entire day to myself! No kids to chase, or to listen to wining! (Thanks Mom!!) I had a great visit with my sister and her family! (Love you guys!) And did some shopping of course! Here are some of the treasures I picked up along the way!

Winners find #1! I saw this beauty and my automatic thought kicks in and says, "hey, you can totally make that!" And then reality kicks in and says, "mmmm, ya, no!" So I picked this beauty up for $20!! It will be a beautiful addition to my Master Bedroom Makeover! (Spring 2015 project!)

Winners find #2! There were 2 of these boxes on the clearance racks; 1 was $15 and full of scratches, rips, and stains :( and this one was $12 and in pretty great condition! :D 

THIS. Love this! The photo does not do justice to the color of this treasure! :D My Mom-in-law's next door neighbour saw on Facebook that I was looking for old suitcases, she called me up to come see her before I left, and put this in my hand! THANK YOU SYLVIA!! :D

"Betty" & "Priscilla" Picked these fabulous doll stamps up from Bri's Scrapbook Therapy
