gray and 2 color challenge

We are having a weekend online crop today with some of the SnC members.   One of the challenges was to make a layout with the color gray and only 2 other colors.    Plus use the word SPECIAL in your title.

I chose pics of Kai from Christmas 2008 and used gray ornament paper and my 2 colors were green and red.

Authentique Sketch Challenge

I loved this sketch and different from anything I have made before.
Its very hard to tell in this picture, but every other circle I set up with pop dots and also the
matted picture is set up on pop dots for some dimension to the layout.

I used papers from the Authentique Splendid collection:
The background paper is Magnificence
The circles are one side of the Brilliance paper and the matting is the other side of
the Brilliance paper.   Same is the banner with the title.
I used Thickers for the Title and then a pale yellow ribbon from my stash to
tie the 3 flowers from my stash to the circles.

Let's Sketch latest challenge

We just got back yesterday from our trip to Orlando and got to see our granddaughter Avery for the first time.    So this sketch was perfect to use some of pictures I took.

I found a new challenge site

Just 2 weeks ago I joined a new scrapbooking challenge site and I love it.   They have weekly challenges with double page layouts.   It seems I can never find a double page layout I like, but I have entered the last 2 and love them both so now look forward to seeing what they will have each week.

The latest challenge started 4-4-12 and since that is my b'day I decided I had to make a layout of pictures from my b'day that day.   So here is the layout.

Fun at the Lake

Went for a walk last night around the lake with Jason, Susan, Kai and Mylan.   Forgot my camera but I did get a few pics on my phone.    I used the March sketch from My Creative Sketches.
