Scrapbook Challenge #3 on ICR

Happy Wednesday Friends. Half of the week is over or so feels like it. I am back to post on the 3rd Scrapbook Challenge that is live on ICR right now.

It is a simple Sketch challenge this time. So, please do stop by ICR to check out the sketch and to play along with us.

Here is my layout. This is a two page layout of our pictures from the trip to Space Needle in Seattle. I just flipped the sketch for my right hand side page. I created a mirror image.

I used a bunch of travel papers from Stash (Mamma Razzi, making memories etc). I also used two of Emily Merritt Designs on my Layout - Journaling Cards from Headed That Way Collection and also of course Thumbs Way Up (Which has become my favorite collection).

Here are a few close up's:

I loved using the Circle Accents and the journaling card. The Alphabet Stickers are form Stash and I also used Ali Edwards Photo Love Stamp set on this Layout.

Thanks for stopping by,.
Supplies:
Stamp - Ali Edwards Photo Love
Paper - Pattern Paper from Stash

ICR Holi Blog Hop

Welcome to Pichkari Holi Blog Hop by ICR Team. You can start at ICR Forum and get all the deets on the Blog Hop.

Here is some info about Holi On Wikipedia. Holi is also called the Spring Festival - as it marks the arrival of spring the season of hope and joy. The gloom of the winter goes as Holi promises of bright summer days. Nature too, it seems rejoices at the arrival of Holi and wears its best clothes. Fields get filled with crops promising a good harvest to the farmers and flowers bloom colouring the surroundings and filling fragrance in the air.

I always have associated Holi with bright colors and awesome get together with Family and Friends (and of course yummy food and sweets).

So to document the awesome Holi Party that we had at our friend's place just this last weekend, I created this scrapbook Layout using the March Sketch from ICR. Fun Sketch isn't it? There is plenty of time left to play along if you are interested.

I drew inspiration from our clothing colors and used some Blues and pinks on the layout and of course I had to use the bright Alphabet Stickers to celebrate Holi.

And I for sure wanted to create a card as well and again I did a card for this month's ICR Challenge #27 - One Layered card with Repeated Stamping.

Again, there is still time for you to play along, we would love to see your card creations. I did my own template in Word for this card and placed the text (using text box) and then printed it out and then stamped the PTI Mehendi Medallion Stamps over the card base. I would redo this card again and probably add some sequins or gem stones to add some more glitter.

I hope you enjoyed the projects and would love to hear from you and also see your creations in ICR.

2013 Scrapbook Challenge Series on ICR

Hello Friends, Happy Saturday. We are re launching the scrapbook challenges on ICR forum for 2013. It is going to be lots of fun and inspiration and of course some gift for sure. One person who completes all the challenges for the 2013 Scrapbook challenge series will win a box of scrapbook goodies. YAY.

Without further ado here is the Layout that I made for our very first challenge which is a Sketch Challenge. Please stop by at ICR forum to see the Sketch (to become a member if you are not already) and to play along.

These are our pictures from Seattle Trip - at Pikes Place market. The pattern paper on the left is from American Crafts Travel Collection (an older one). I used some Alphabet Thickers and stickers for the Title and of course Flair. A girl Gotta have her Flair :))

I used some scrap papers left over from an old travel kit for the banners on the right hand side. This sketch is perfect for using up all these small scraps of paper
.
I really liked how this Layout turned out and would love to do another one with maybe two horizontal 4x6 pictures. Possibilities are endless. Again, please stop by at ICR forum and check out the sketch and hope you will play along with us.
