Layouts # 5 -8 2011 Challenge ***Swap Spoiler***

I always participate is this fun little swap organized by Tina, one of my CTMH sisters. We build a double page layout, then make all the pieces for 5 more people. We send everything except the 12x12 base, making it more economical to mail....sometimes! My pieces for one of the layouts were 11x11 anyway! We have 6 categories this time and I participated in four of them. So in order, these are layouts for Spring (first two photos....one showing flip flap open) titled "Spring Rain", Male Child category titled "Party Animal(s)", Adult Male category titled "My Guy", and Home category (doing something at home) titled "Dinner Party". All material used are Close To My Heart with the exception of a couple of Martha Stewart punches and my Cricut.

Layouts - 8

Cards - 3

Helen O's - 1 (Party Animals - SC96 - Magic Backstage)

Layout # 101 & 102 2010 Layout Challenge

Wow, there's only a few more days left in the month - which means only a few more days until I draw the winner for my blog candy. Welcome to all my new followers, I hope you enjoy being here! You still have some time to increase your chances of winning by sending your friends to my blog! (see original post for details) But now, on to another couple of layouts for our 2010 layout challenge. The first layout was my October hostess club layout, I still need to find some photos for this one! The second I did at a crop a few weeks ago. The photos are 22 years old now but it seems like they were taken only a few years ago.

Materials used: 1st layout is all CTMH except the googly eyes! Hooligans level 2 paper pak, My Acrylix "The Boo Crew" & "Party Animal", watercolour pencils, black ink, liquid glass, markers. Title was cut with Lyrical Letters with my Cricut. "Santa Baby" has paper and letter stickers from a Christmas slab from Michaels (old!) and cardstock from my stash, ribbon, metal embellishments (unknown brand) and dimensional stickers from the dollar store.
