Party Day S-N-S

Welcome to a late revel of the bonus sketch over at Sketch - N- Scrap. You can find the sketch here.
It is our special Christmas gift to our scrappy friends.

This page is of my mom when she was about five. I love how this came out.
Most of the supplies are from American Crafts and Pebbles.
Have a Merry Chrismas everybody and I hope you find time to play along with this sketch and link it to our site here so you can be entered in a prize. 

Black at ABAC- Challenge 5

    Welcome back to another fun and inspiring challenge brought to you by ABAC. This week incorporate the color black into your project, the whole thing does not have to be just black but should be the main color.
     First, I have a confession to make. When I saw this challenge it really stumped me since Halloween is over and I didn't want to share anything for a holiday that past so I came up with this stunning project at the last minute.
     This time I decorated a plain spiral notebook, that I got free at Meijer at a special event a month ago.

 I use this how-to to make these beautiful flowers. I forgot to do the center so I added a pearl bead.

I also added a ribbon bookmark t the inside so I don't lose my place.
I love how this came out and it only ended up costing about a dollar since all the stuff came out of my stash.
Stop by ABAC and link your black projects.
          p.s. I LOVE decorative notebooks and I have a nice collection in my bedroom. 

ABAC Challenge #4

Welcome back. Sorry for the lack of posting this month. I have been very busy. I will catch everyone up about that Monday.
Right now, I would  like to show you what I did for this Fall/ Halloween challenge over at ABAC.
I created some spooky Halloween name place tags.
Here is the before.

Here is the after.

I first covered the tags in black cardstock. Added a distress and punched book page. ( Yes, I use a real sheet of book paper that I tore out of one of my books. It was from a book that was misprinted. ) Then
I then added ribbon, spider die cut, metal charms (that I colored), baker's twine, brads, red Stickles and letter stickers.
Stop by ABAC to link up your projects. I would love to see them.
Thanks for stopping by. I see you tomorrow.
