Again  over  at Cookin' Up Creations we're going Around the World in 30 Days. I am trying to fill up my passport with as many stamps as possible.

Next stop- Was map reading (using a Sketch)

This the sketch given

Here is the layout I created. I turned the sketch and added a thing or two. I used Scraptastic Kit Everything I Am (March). Amy Tangerine Stitch Templates for the heart and arrows. 

Some close-ups of all the details. I handstitched the heart and arrows under the title.

Sharing a layout I created for the challenges over at Cookin' Up Creations. I will be add a few more soon.

Doing my best to earn more stamps in my passport.

Lake Hillier, Western Australia
This is the layout I created for this challenge. We had to use a negative somewhere in the layout and the color pink. I cut out the heart and back it with a watercolor pink ombre heart I created. I also used a stencil for the wings and painted with Heidi Swapp Teal Color Shine to highlight them. Then hand stitiched around the heart.

All the details close-ups.

Be sure to play along with us.  Leave me a comment.

Place: Santorini, Greece

A Lovebird named Phoenix

Journaling reads:  Phoenix came to us, we didn't go out and buy him. He flew into our front screen door and almost knocked himself out. Rowynn spoke to him in hopes he wouldn't fly away, He didn't. Then she , Liam and Fran brought him into the house and took care of him. No one has claimed him. So, now he is all ours. Welcome to the family.

The Doctor Is In...Cookin' Up Creations Design Team Work Share

This month over at Cookin' Up Creations we are traveling around the world in 30 days. Each DT member is issuing challenges influenced by different countries. Today was my turn to offer a challenge based on a country - the country I chose was England.

I chose it because of my daughter Kaitlyn - she loves Beatles and Dr. Who. She watches the television show Dr. Who faithfully (on BBC America). She recently attended MegaCon and made sure to take pictures with the other attendees dressed like the cast of Dr. Who and of course the Police Box.

This is the layout I create to honor her love for the Good Dr. Who. (Please note that the sub-title is correct - You see the doctor has 2 hearts. So, in keeping with the theme of all things Dr. Who - the sub-title reads: My hearts belong to the doctor)

The items used to create this layout are: Bazzill Cardstock, Silver, Red & White, Number, and newsprint, Blue dot Washi Tape, Wood Veneers - Freckle Fawn, Mistable Stars - Studio Calico,  White & Silver (Heidi Swapp Tinsel) mist, Red - DMC Floss , Red & white letters Basic Grey, Blue Foam letters - Target, Digital Freebie -papers by DIGITAL FREEBIES™ here: http://geekcrafts.com/dr-who-scrapbook-kit/ , Digital printable The weeping angel here:   http://franticallysimple.com/2012/02/dr-who-free-printable-valentines/

I hope you will join us for some fun.
