Recipe Challenge #37

8:00 pm in Scrapbook Ideas by Traci

These challenges can be used on cards or layouts.

I will give a list of three items that must be used on a card or layout. You are not limited to only the three items listed. You can use as many items on your layout or cards as you wish. But the minimum on it must be what is listed in the recipe.

This weeks Recipe came from Tracy, one of the Recipe Design Team Members.

Create a card or layout using the following items:
  • Flowers
  • Buttons
  • Stickles or Glitter


Check out what the Design Team did with this recipe.

As usual, if you would like to share your take on this challenge, link it up in the comment section. Your layout or card could be featured here on the Sketches!...

Comfort, Hope and Peace – Monday Challenge #15

1:00 am in Scrapbook Ideas by Traci


HELLO! I hope you had a wonderful weekend! I personally had an extremely busy weekend and look forward to this week being fairly quiet. That means, I get LOTS of stamping time! :)


With illness hitting our home the past two weeks, I have had very little energy to do a whole lot, so I must apologize for not having much time to hop to your blogs and see YOUR work!...

Cinema Saturday Creative Challenge – #20- The Curious Case of Benjamin Buttons

10:17 pm in Scrapbook Ideas by Traci

Welcome Everyone to our Oscar Celebration! This idea was inspired by Ann from Creative Antics, who reminded us about the Oscars and so in keeping with that, we thought that we would do something different this saturday and do one of the movies that has been nominated for an Oscar this year: The Curious Case of Benjamin Buttons. This is a little different because it is a current movie and we know, that maybe some of you might not have seen it yet, but that’s okay – we would love you to play along because the theme of this card is to go vintage.Can you believe that this is our 20th movie challenge!! Whoa! How time flies…. This scrapbook challenge courtesy
