My Sweet Earth - Create to Live February Challenge

I discovered a new blog called My Sweet Earth, if you haven't heard about them before definitely check them out. They can be found at: http://mysweetearth.blogspot.ca/

The challenge was to use the following as inspiration:


Here is my take:

I used a sketch from Miss Melissa's blog. My inspiration was the letters: I misted the background using the different colours and then used chipboard letters for the title.These pictures are from my first mother's day, we took our son to the park and put him in the swing for the first time. Supplies used:

• perfect pearls mist - turquoise
• perfect pearls mist - pink gumball
• perfect pearls mist - heirloom gold
• tattered angels glimmer mist - moss
• tattered angels glimmer mist - indian corn
• distress stain - peeled paint
• sticko - funhouse pink metallic

February DCWV Stack-a-holic template Challenge

As you may or may not know, DCWV is my absolute favorite paper company. DCWV (aka Die Cuts With a View) has paper stacks and the greatest thing is that every paper in the stack goes together. Every month they post a template and you create a layout based on that sketch. This month's challenge is found here:
http://dcwvinc.blogspot.ca/2013/02/february-stack-holic-template-challenge.html

Here is my take (layout 58):

Supplies used:

• DCWV Vintage stack as this picture is from my parents' 1977 wedding reception
• K&Company border (que cera cera)
• letters: thickers

I have to say I am pretty excited since we are only on day 44 today and I already have 57 layouts done (makes me happy when I am ahead of schedule).

I am not sure how much scrapping I'm going to get done in the next couple of days since right now I am defrosting my fridge since it decided to quit working (but the freezer on the bottom is still working) so I'm hoping it's just a matter of the fan being frozen and needing to defrost. Unfortunately, this means that the condiments that were in the fridge are now on the counter (my crafting space). Hoping I can put the fridge back together tomorrow and get some done before I go away this weekend.
