I made this lo of my dd and dh , this was a pic from last year at Idlewild...my dd had to ride the farriswheel about 3 times in a row..she loved it..and she kept saying lets go higher...this is where I got the title..so I used this lo for the occ challenge...they are having a color challenge..see top pic for colors...or check out their blog @ http://ourcreativecorner6.blogspot.com/

carts I used = Pooh font for the clouds, OA for the title, I used swiss dots , and hounds tooth cb folders, used a rough sanding file for the blue paper with the swiss dots to distress (didn't show up well) ,

I also inked the clouds, journaled on bottom of paper in white gel pen (one of my favorite tools) , then I also doodled around page...and staggered the pics , used a corner punch...I think that is all.

Brand spankin new Gear / SOUS Challenge!

Hello everyone....I did this sketch for the SOUS Challenge @ http://stuckonusketches.blogspot.com/ They wanted you to use pattern papers and do something out of your comfort zone...well I usually don't use alot of pattern papers all together, and I also don't use black, whites and pinks together...but love how this turned out..I used 3 different pattern papers...They other thing I usually do that I did not do on here was I use alot of flowers and flourishes so doing this one without it was a little challenging but I enjoyed making this today...I did change the sketch alittle.

This lo is of my beautiful 4 year old dd...she had been asking me to play soccer since last year but last year I could not sign her up since it was already in the season...so this year she asked me again and I said sure why not....she needed all the gear...so we went out today and got her the pink / black shoes, pink / black shinguards, the socks and the package included a ball so I let her pick it out and she picked purple...her favorite color.She can not wait to play.

Layout recipe:

SB = Marquee2 cut @ 7"

GS = Image 45-s (with journaling on it) cut @ 4 1/2"
Title brand spanking new cut @ 2"
Arrows (2 different ones) black and white cut @ 3 1/4"

I also used Mickey font for "GEAR" cut @ 2"

I doodled the lo pink mat, the arrows, the title, journaled and used ricrac (which I usually don't use that either....) thanks for looking and I loved playing along with the Sous challenge...thanks for getting my mojo back...needed that!!!
