Magazine Challenge - Feb Mag

Ok, so I really want to get back into doing my scrapping and am doing whatever I can to motivate myself. I had a hard time with this one since I haven't had my Gypsy and have a limited number of carts at the moment. The first image I loved was from the magazine, page 9:

This is what I came up with, but it was just not coming together like I wanted to and I didn't like the finished product:

So...I scrapped it and started a new one yesterday. =) This was a love of labor for me - literally - since it was from Valentine's Day last year and I pretty much didn't have any of the carts I wanted to use or any embossing folders since they are at my scrapfriend's house and she's OOT. SO....I made do with what I did have! I based if off the sketch from page 34 in the magazine. I did turn the sketch to fit my photos, so hopefully it's not too loosely basing it. I did take some artistic license!

The sketch I based it off of:

And here it is!

I was excited to get out and use Letter Envy for both projects and I used Jubilee for the first time on the heart banners! I like how it turned out! Thanks for looking!

Blogiversary Challenges

Yay for the Circle Blog Anniversary!!! It's been a great year and while I've been totally bummed about not winning the banner contest, I am excited about these! So, here's what I've got!

The first one is the Sketch Challenge for the Imagine giveaway. I made a card for my cousin's son using Robotz (love this cart!)

The second card is is for the Circle Cart challenge. Since I have never used Shall We Dance, I pulled it out for this one! I made an anniversary card for my cousins.

The 3rd one I made for the Cuttlebug challenge, but I thought it was use 2 cuttlebug folders and it was 2 cricut cuts, which I did not do, which stinks cause I love the simplicity of it!
