Scrap & Play Challenge #10

Lists....I'm a list person for sure.  No question.  Which is why this Lo Challenge was perfect!  It was all about the top 10 list of anything you choose!  

So, since Little Mr. S turned 5 recently, I thought it was fitting to list his top 10 things that are his favorite at this time!  Here is my take on the challenge....

I used some Bella Blvd paper, stickers and pieces from the candid pack.  I also added some miscellaneous items that I thought matched up well.  This picture is his 5 year picture that I took of him this summer near a path close to our home.  He is such a character therefore I only caught a few good ones of him!

Link up your projects here for a chance to win a prize package from Paper Bakery!  Good luck everyone - can't wait to see what you create for your top 10 lists!

Cardabilities Sketch #101 Reveal

For this wonderful sketch, I decided to create a tag instead of a card.  I usually add these to gift bags instead of including a card.  Sometimes I write a few shorts notes to the special friend on the back and use it just like a card.

Here is the sketch...

And here is my take...

I created the background by distressing a cream colored tag using Tim Holtz Distress inks.  I stamped the image on the background using brown Staz On and then flicked some water droplets on it.  I used the cap to one of my mists to create the small circles, dipping it in Heidi Swapp Color Shine (my fav for sure!).  I used a few pieces of patterned paper from my scraps and then some October Afternoon wood frame and chipboard.  The frame sits quite high as I used clear pop dots on each corner.  This allows the chipboard pieces to fit under it without issue.  

It's nice to change it up once in a while from just cards.  The sketches can be used for all kinds of projects not only tags and cards!  Make sure to link up your card or tag over at the Cardabilities blog for your chance to be featured!
