The PlayDate Cafe..PDCC36

There is a new challenge up for The PlayDate Cafe.. challenge PPCC36 this is my second time doing the challenges.. I was invited to post one of my canvas projects for the last playdate PDCC35 and got on for the Fabulous 4.. oh exciting.. well this week they have a challenge with this in mind.. colour combo's courtesy of Marthastewart.com



Beautiful selection of colours .. and some of the design team members used birdcages so if you have any and I was lucky to find one ,but had to search and search.. then realized I had this fabulous Melody Ross Image from the Unity Stamp Company kit that I got last month.. I love it in pink.. perfect for this challenge.


Using some old Scenic route stickers and that very pretty in pink Maya Road flower and some bling.. this is what I did.. I wanted some spots of pink.. but had no misting spray.. so I just used the end of a paint brush and some pink acrylic paint and dabbed it on.. easy and effective .. love how it turned out.


A fun challenges Julie.. I love it!! you can see the DT creations and link yours HERE..
Happy 4th of July my friends!!

I decided to do it in a frame for this canvas art.. using Unity stamps and with Copic Markers for a challenge over in the Copic Group Lesson 12 at Simply Scrapping Crafts. I love how it turned out and the colouring with the copics on a different surface other than paper.. IF you go check out the group you will see what the other designers came up with as well.. it's HERE. As you all know I love Using my Unity stamps and this was a fun project to do and the colouring in the copics made it look like a painted surface to me.. very cool.. and this is one of my favourite single stamps... He who Plants A Tree...you can find it HERE.. for purchase. I have used this alot on different project and cards.. love it so much!!

The Greeting Farm.. Lynda's Sketch!!

Hello Thursday... Today at the Greeting Farm we have this great sketch by our very own Lynda.. isn't is great.. I love it!! Thanks Lynda.



I decided to do a Male theme layout.. seeing that I have a growing boy.. well he is a Man really, he will be 15 years old on the 9th.. where did the time go!! I think I need to scrap him more.. if he would only let me take his photo .. these days I have to sneak up on him to capture a shot. Teenagers.. but he is a good one I know I am very blessed to have him around. So I will be happy with the back of his head or a pillow in front of his face or shots of him running fast away from the camera.. hehe.. honestly this is what he does! But on to my layout.

Using some papers for the Road Trip OA papers and some of the stickers as well this is what I did..

Jump.. Sweet Memories.

The Details.. I used the Sweet Memories stamp.. in black ink and then outlined the paper..

for the stamped stitch parts.. I used the stitch criss cross stamp.. in white I stamped it and on another sheet of scrap paper I stamped it out this way I was left with a faded image.. you see it but I didn't want it to really stand out .. almost like a watermark look.. I love how it turned out..

very male .

Now it is time to go check out the other Scrapbooking Design Team Greeting Farm Girls..

Creative Promplt.. My Turn to Challenge You!!

HI Everyone.. I have a challenge over on the Creative Prompts 4U blog today!! Make sure you make it over there to check out all the designers and what they came up with.

Here is the photo inspiration challenge.. can you tell I am in the mood for Beaches , water and sand.. a dream holiday would be great.. but for now I settle for the Beaches and Parks around my area.. a little piece of heaven I say..

So my challenge is to use this photo to inspire you.. it can be the colours, the beach theme , even the photo itself.. I can't wait to see what you all come up with.

Here is my layout..

Love this view

Using alot of Different Sassafrass Lass paper and stickers I came up with this layout.. I used the photo as my inspiration.. as I go to the parks at the beach I love taking pictures of the views I see.. not only the kids.. and this is just one of the places I love to go.. Frenchman's Bay in Ajax, Ontario.. it is like going to a different world.. just 10 minute drive away from the house I couldn't ask for more.. I grab a coffee and go for a long morning walk.. just staring at the view in front of me.. it is glorious.. I love where I live and this is just one reason why.

Here are some of the Details

Now you will have to go check out the Design team and what they came up with for this challenge.. I can't wait to see what talented layouts were inspired by this photo.. Creative Prompts 4U has an amazing Creative Crew with lots to share... go check it out HERE.
