Simple Lovely Weekend

It had been such a busy week for me. I didn't even have time to watch my favorite show Real Housewife of BH lol

but I still get to squeeze a little bit of my time to scrap booking.

First layout using all of Amy Tan collection scrap paper that I have leftover from my minialbum project

2nd Layout bright and colorful scrap paper from sassafras and foam Thicker. It's look kinda messy to me but I like it.

Layout #3 scrap paper from October Afternoon and Mr.Huey studio calico sprayink

Last layout using scrap paper from sassafras and corrugated paper. 

It's very simple and come out really cute just the way I like it! I'm frugal scrapbooker so I always use up my scrap papers and what ever left in my scrapbook.

It's getting cold here in Colorado and there are leaves all over my front yard.

Since it was really cold I didn't want to spend anytime outside so last weekend I was sitting at home and browsing around scrapbooking world the came across Tara Anderson's Blog I spent roughly 5 hours read, look and pinned her blog to Pinterest. Love her style and how creative she is. Every little project she has on her blog just blew me away by how pretty they are and all the detail.. she's so talented !!

Where creative people get inspired.

I'm a very busy person even thought I don't have a job or kids but I'm always busy creating and learn new crafting techniques .

So many times I ran out of inspiration and have no idea what I should create.

I used to search and surf on the blog and I gotta said there are so many of creative talented people out there but I really hate spent too much time on computer.

Finally god heard mine pray for a place that I can look through and get inspired before I have to read all the words since photos are mean a lot. ( I still like to read some of the blogs tho lol )

PINTEREST my favorite place to hang out on on cyber world it so addicted and I get inspired by so many pins and a lot of time I discovered good tutorials of crafting that I can learn how to make things that's totally gorgeous but so easy to make.

I have pinterest app on my iphone4 that it make my addiction on my phone is worth than it was.

I just can't stop pinning !!

Sunny Day Flowers Card

It had been really sunny outside for the pass few day. Instead of going outside I'm staying in to crate a lot of bright color cards and layout. I still consider that as enjoying the sunshine tho because I just starring outside my window while I'm crafting lol

I this sunny day there is nothing better than working on colorful pretty pattern paper from October Afternoon Sidewalks. I have cam across a challenge on Scrapbook Trend's Blog as usual they have a challenge that I can actually challenge myself with card making.

The challenge for this week is using  at least 3 boarder punches on the card. It's really tough for me since I'm not really use punch and this challenge required you to use at least 3 !! ( somebody help me plz )

Well then I sit and think and think and sit which take me a while to figured what I'm going to do.

And here is what I came up with

Punch No.1 EK Success Binding Edge Edger Punch

Punch No.2 Martha Stewart Lace Heart Edge Punch

And for this little card I just couldn't think of anywhere I could put another piece of  paper that was punched with pretty boarder punch on so I made a rosette again! Instead of just a plain rosette I punched it with Punch No.3 Martha Stewart Doily Lace Edge Punch

I added couple more rosettes and buttons.

It's really bright color card and it's turned out just the way I wanted it !

Sketchy me

Did I mentioned how much I love sketch challange ? Soooo much.

I just love how you can use your creativity with sketches. What I love to do everyday when I turned on my laptop is serching for sketch challenge. Sometimes I submit lay out in the challenge sometimes I just looking around to get some inspiration.

But for Sassy Lil Sketches when I see their sketches I just can't help not using it right away. So of course I finish my lay out before their challenges are over lol

Here is what I use their love ly sketch for

Fall for you Card

This simple card using their sketch and Studio Calico Paper and October Afternoon Clear Stamp

It's very very simple use Fall color scheme

I really love this Studio Calico collection the color are perfect for fall season.

This is lay out using Sassy Lil' Sketches

I've been crazy about making rosette lately so you can pretty much see them on all of my layout for the past few week.I just love it so much how it turned out and make my pages pop.

About this layout I use JilliBean Soup pattern paper as photomat and all the elements and those banners from Crate paper Farmhouse collection.

Itchy for Sketchy Thursday.

I 've heard about Sketchy Thursday for quite awhile about how cute and creative their sketch are. I'm so into sketch and definitely will not miss out there new sketch. It's so cute and very simple just the way I like to scrapbooking.

This is layout that I made using their sketch. I use Crate Paper Randon & Farm House line.

Cut several circle in different sizes and layer them with foam adhesive. I made a rosette and add button on the top of it.

Added film stripe and some chipboard elements.

Very simple and quick to me except the part of cutting all those circle and try to think of color scheme.
