When I saw Christina's new kit Professor Atom I instantly knew what I wanted to do with it. Here is what I came up with.
It also uses the OWH sketch #32.

Bad bad blogger

Wow, I have been a bad bad blogger lately. So much has been going on with getting the boys ready for back to school. That day has finally come (and gone) so I am back to share a few of my recent projects now.

Here is the small back to school gift that I made for my son's second grade teacher.

And finally there is this one. I went to a speed scrap last week and found that I really had no pictures that fit the criteria of the challenge. One of the ladies jokingly offered me some of hers to work with and I took her up on it. This was the resulting layout. I am rather pleased with how it turned out.

Non-traditional Christmas Colors

I found this kit last month and absolutely love it. It is very non traditional in colors, but that can be a good thing. It is like a breath of fresh air, and it is just so elegant as well. Check out this card that I made with it.
The kit is Wishes from By Becca , with the Wishes masks as well.

USA card

Well, I didn't make it back earlier this week, sorry about that. Had some printer issues and was really busy as well.

Today I have a card to share that was done for the IITC challenge over at SM. There have been so many great patriotic kits released this month that it was my first thought for a theme when I saw the template. The one that I decided to use was Celebrate Independence by WM[squared] Designs. I just love Wendy's kits. She packs them full of such neat elements and papers. And here is what I came up with. I thought the template was perfect to showcase some of the well known American icons.

I miss ewe!

I am back today with another card made for OWH. This week they have issues a challenge for cards made for the heroes to send home to their children. As soon as I saw that challenge I had something in mind. I used the Wild Oats kit, which is a collaboration between Chelle's Creations and Designs by Sarah Bennett.
Here is what I came up with, the barn and the small cloud is raised up with glue dots and the barn with pop dots to give it two different levels of dimension.
Well, thank you for looking and check back tomorrow for another scrap layout!

Because of the Brave

I found this card sketch over on the OWH Stars and Stamps blog that I decided to give a shot. Since I am still totally in love with the Old Glory kit (link is to the bundle) I thought I would use this kit to play. Here is what I came up with...What do you think?
