Blog Hop WINNERS!!!!!

Hello Everyone!

Just want to say thank you for all of you who participated in the 

Scrap Our Stash ABC ~123 Blog Hop 

this past weekend!   I hope you all get a chance to participate in the ABC~123 Blog Challenge!   you have until October 4, 2013 11:59PM (PST) to link up your entries.   Click HERE for details!

I originally was going to have one prize drawing for those of you who follow my blog, hopped with us this past weekend and left a comment.  However, when I did the first draw using random.org the name that came up was a Design Team member at Scrap Our Stash, so I decided since the SOS Design Team did an amazing job creating inspiration for the hop, I would add a second draw and hopefully the second name would be one of my blog followers.  With that being said, the winners of the $10 gift certificates to Creative Embellishments are......

# 11 ~ Carol Peixoto

(SOS Design Team)

and....

#7 ~ Amanda Jane

Congratualtions ladies!!!!

Email me at msbrags@gmail.com with Hop Winner in the subject line.  I will just need your email address so that when I purchase your gift cards Creative Embellishments can email them to you!

Thanks again everyone for participating in the hop!!!

The October Stash Challenge at Scrap Our Stash as well as my October Sketch, will be revealed tomorrow!  Make sure you stop by both blogs to check out the new challenges!!!

"Happy Looks Good On You!" Layout

Good Morning!

Today I am sharing a layout I created inspired by the 

September Sketch with Stash Challenge at 

Scrap Our Stash

This sketch gave me the perfect opportunity to use up some of my 6x6 stash.   Each sunray was backed with a thin layer of raw chipboard and then lined with a pen to add a little dimension.

Also entering this layout into 

Use It Tueday's

"Two Hoarded Items" Challenge

Here is my layout inspired by Sketch #3 and using stash items:
(I ~ J) Inking and Jewels

I lightly inked the edges and also used a black ink pen to outline my patterned papers.  I also created my large circle using the pen.  For the jewels, I added three goosebumps:
