November IAR Sketch #2 Challenge - "Thankful"

There's a new IAR Sketch Challenge over at the I Am Roses Challenge Blog. If you want to play along and enter to win some IAR flowers get on over to the blog for all the rules/details. Check out the new sketch above.

Here is my take of the sketch. The picture I used is of myself (left) and my friend Rina (right). This was taken at a crop that I hosted at my place. We had so much fun with our scrappy friends. I kept the layout pretty simple and clean in my opinion. I only used 1 12x12 sheet of paper and a tiny piece to mat the photo.

I hope you guys can join us in this month's challenge. Make sure to read all the requirements on how to enter.

I also wanted to thank everyone for all the sweet and beautiful comments left on my IAR Blog Hop project. Also a huge HELLO! to all my new followers of this blog. THANK YOU THANK YOU, I hope I don't disappoint. There was a secret blog candy hidden in one of the DT's Blogs and unfortunately it wasn't in mine =( Maybe next time. If you commented on all the blogs then you might still have a chance to win, check out the winner here.

GOOD LUCK to you all for this month's IAR Sketch Challenge!

Here's the amazing prize package to one lucky winner:

Okay stop drooling, let's get to my project. I created this mini Halloween wreath. The wreath measures approx. 8.5" x 8.5" and it was originally brown so I decided to paint it black. The paper collection I used is an older collection from Graphic 45 - Halloween in Wonderland. I fussy cut several of the images and layered them on dimensional foam adhesive. The banner is attached with black glitter brads.

August IAR Color Challenge "Back to School"

There's a new IAR Color Challenge just posted over at the I Am Roses Challenge Blog. If you want to win some beautiful flowers check it out and create to win.

The theme for this month's challenge is "Back to School". I decided to dress up a paper lunch bag. Fill it up with snacks or some school supplies for your kid. That big gardenia is new to I Am Roses, it measures at 4". I used some two tone yellow roses and added some red roses as well.

The calendar month "august" is embossed on acetate with white embossing powder. I draped some banner border stickers at the fold. The letter "A" is the initial for the receiver of this paper bag. The yellow ruler ribbon was perfect for the school theme.

Thanks for stopping by and I can't wait to see all the submissions created by you guys. GOOD LUCK everyone!!

IAR Sketch #1 - Sunshine

There is a NEW challenge over at the I Am Roses Challenge Blog. If you like sketches head on over there for more details on how to enter to win some I Am Roses products.

Here is my take on the sketch. I decided to flip it clockwise and interpret it into a card.

I love working with kraft cardstock. The card measures 5.5" x 5.5". The doily stamp is embossed with white embossing powder. I used my scraps of ephemera and corrugated cardboard. The little pink splatters in the background is from Lindy's Stamp Gang - Hottie Patottie Hot Pink Starburst Spray. The leaves were die cut from vellum and the word "Sunshine" is a rub-on. The pink rose (R77) is sprayed with Lindy's Stamp Gang - Saltwater Taffy Starburst Spray. I added some rosebuds and a gardenia flower as well.

So there is my card and I hope you liked it. All products used is listed below. Make sure to check out the other projects from the IAR Design Team over at the IAR Challenge Blog. Good Luck!
