Detroit Zoo Day

As a small child my son LOVED the Zoo. He could never get enough of watching the snow monkeys play or roaring at the lions. I found these Old pictures the other day and thought they'd work perfect for one of the challenges over at Scrap Sisters Studio. Our October Memorial Crop is going strong. In Memory of our Friends Leslie and Chris, did you- "Feel your Boobies today"?

Our challenge was to use a sketch from Sketch Support, specifically Sketch #8. Our friend Chris used it and made this layout:

As you can see I changed things up a bit. Where the journaling was on the original I put the cute little snake on the branch. He's from Little scraps of Heaven Designs. I tucked the journaling in above the banners.

Here's a few close ups:

It feels so good to complete a challenge. It also feels good to scrap OLD photos. One more down. I entered this layout over at Scrapbookers Anonymous. The October Challenge was to use die cuts. I think this qualifies.

I hope your feeling crafty today. I am! Lets see what else I can create this weekend.

Yoda!

When Galaxies collide

You have to have Bad Guys to keep the universe even. So here are my Death Star warriors.

You have the Dark Lord:

Darth Vader:

And their Storm Troopers:

Tomorrow I bring you Yoda!

You can find these wonderful patterns over at Little Scraps of Heaven Designs. The set is called Galactical Adventures Bad Guys.

Enjoy your Friday night and get Crafty!!

Galactic Good Guys!

The force is STRONG in this group. Tricia over at Little Scraps of Heaven Designs out did herself with this crowd. They are The Galactical Adventures- Good Guys. So you know she created the Bad Guys too. Yep bought that file this morning and I will be playing with some Star Wars images again today.

Now you need to see close ups of each one. So up first Princess Leia:

Her brother Luck Skywalker:

My favorite Han Solo:

Han's sidekick Chewy:

And the robotic connection C-3PO and R2D2:

Such fun to make. The file was adorable and when they started to come to life on my workspace I was giddy. Cant' wait to go make the "Bad Guys".

Happy Crafting today and "May the Force be with you!!"

Cindy

Hayride Fun!

I found this super cute file over at Designs on Cloud 9- Hayride. And I just had to make something.

So here is what I came up with:

I added a couple other files to it. I used The Pumpkin stand for the crows and corn and the Happy Harvest title for the hay bales and pumpkins. 

Here's a few close ups so you can see the details.

I wanted a place for a few more photos so I tucked an extra photo mat behind the last photo and gave it a cute pull tab. 

I'm thinking I'm going to start an Etsy store. Stay tuned for more information. This could be the first item I list. I'd love to hear your thoughts on Etsy shops. 

Thank and Happy Crafting!

Cindy

I'm in LOVE!

My friend Tricia over at Little Scraps of Heaven Designs has been a busy beaver lately. She has created some fantastic patterns in the last few days. So I wanted to share a couple of my favorites with you right now.

#1. Galactic Adventures

#2. Think Pink

Tricia has stated that 25% of the proceeds from the sale of "Think Pink", in the month of October, will go towards Breast Cancer Research. It's a win win for everyone! Be sure to stop by and if you're a Facebook person go "Like" their fan page. 

I hope you're having a crafty day. I am. Can't wait to show you what I've been working on. Stay tuned.
