Twisted Cards 9

Too many late nights lately.  I'm soooo tired. But I decided to make a quick card using the Twisted Cards Sketch.  They are called "twisted" because there's an added twist to each sketch..  For example, this sketch's twist was to use rub ons, which I did for the sentiment.

Happy Memorial Day.

Finished With Alyssa's Album!

It took six Tombow refills, but I did it!  Alyssa's album is finished...now I can clean my house and grocery shop before my dad and stepmom arrive tomorrow evening. Forty pages.  Done.
On an "oops" note...I have had my days "off" all week this week and managed to miss my last physical therapy session today . It wasn't that I needed it - even with all of the crafting I've been doing this week I feel great - but I feel awful to have wasted my therapist's time when she could have scheduled someone else.  Ugh.  Anyway...the last two pages:

Couldn't possibly get any more pages in here even if I wanted to!

ALMOST DONE!!! (with Alyssa's album...)

After completing these two layouts, I have only ONE (2 page) LAYOUT LEFT!!
For this first one, titled waiting for her tattoo I used the Practical Scrappers Friday Sketch to make the second page (which I did first : -) )  If you make it through all of these photos, please check out my request at the end of this post...

Page 2 (which utilizes the PS sketch)

Even though I received a craft sewing machine for mother's day, I didn't have time to fiddle with it...so I'm still using faux stitching.  

This next layout (which makes 38 pages!!) is titled Mock Trial and I confess the base pages were premade...I just embellished.  I'm not sure why two of the phots flipped when I posted them. Rebelling against the premade bit?

This one shows the second page and below is the same page with two photos that are "hidden" under CTMH flip flaps.

Again...the photo flipped??? I LOVE Tim Holtz products and used his method of altering metal with paint to give it a more aged look.

For the request...would you please check out my 14 year old daughter's BLOG and take her thirty second movie poll. Also, she's trying to motivate herself to write more and decided to write book reviews. Read her first one (another 60 seconds...) and let her know how she's doing. Thanks! Marie with a : )

And another one down...(Alyssa's Album; FTL 92 and FBW 111)

I'm not sure if the Fall to LOs are intended for cards only, but I opted to use this weeks sketch for another LO for Alyss'as scrapbook.  I love the Clean and Simple challenges!  This also meets the Flutter By Wednesday challenge. (I so love butterflies : ) )

I thought I only had five pages left, but forgot about doing a Mock Trial LO...so I'm back to six more pages...and I don't think her scrapbook can possibly fit any more than that!
Thanks for stopping by.  Have a beautiful Memorial Day weekend!

ABC (Another Alyssa Layout)

The times that I have participated in ABC Challenge I have created a card.  Since I'm still plugging away at Alyssa's album, I used the "V is for vintage" to make a vintage-ish layout.  I only have 3 more (2-page) layouts and then I am done, since the book is already bursting at the seams!

I'm sure that I'll go back and fiddle with this page because it doesn't seem quite right.  

Thanks for stopping by,
