I tripled dipped on this layout...yippee!  My subject is the silliest puppy I have ever seen...she loves to roll around and chase her tail.
First was FTS week 26.
I had to use the sketch (see below for the original).  I used a paper piecing (the dog house) and I stitched (the journal strips have "x" stitches in the ends, with real stitches by hand), Then I used all cardstock, although I did alter each to make it look like patterned paper, I used stickers (the dog bones) and I hand journalled.

Second was my ABC challenge for scrappiestdisneyswaps letter F - faux stitches...where you stitch by poking holes and thread it...which is what I did.

Third was my sytycs week 14 layout (see below for original) and I did all of them. :)

Here are the originals:

So I'm a little behind in posting to my blog...this was my SYTYCS challenge week 12.  We HAD to use paste...well since this isn't something I normally keep on hand or use...I first had to make some...which was lucky for me I had everything in the house.

 Jerzey LOVES the snow...and hates when anybody tries to shovel it off the deck in the back.  First she will try to distract the person by chasing her tail, when that doesn't work, she tries sitting like a good girl hoping that will work...when all else fails...she will sulk and just follow you around.  It is funny to watch her.

As for the challenge:

4 Photos (can be colored or b&w)  (I used 4 photos of Jerzey doing her stuff to prevent snow from being shoveled)

Black & White ONLY (yep, everything including Jerzey and the snow is black or white)

Quilling (I attempted this, but without a quilling tool...it wasn't the easiest of tasks...but I did it...my swirl is quilled)

Masking (I used my hexagon Mister Huey mask)

Paint (I used Ranger's paint dabbers and the mask)

Swirls (my quilled one)

6 Brads (can you see them...left page has 3 (one white in the black star, and 2 snowflakes), right page also has 3 (2 black ones in the white stars and a snowflake)

Fussy cutting - I cut a snowflake out of the patterned paper and used it on my journal block
Distressing - I used inks and distressed my white doily to match the colors in the patterned paoers

This week's sytycs we had to use a sketch, primary colors, hand stitching, misting and fussy cutting.  Photo is of Bryan in 5th grade when he presented his school project on Neil Armstrong.  He was smart enough to think to use Mark's motorcycle helmet for a space suit helmet.  We cut vinyl letters and attached them (and after presented...removed, Mark didn't want to ride with NASA on his helmet...can't imagine why)

Here is the original challenge: colorfulcreations

Use the sketch below to create a layout. You MUST stay true to the sketch. You MUST use ALL of the following items on your pages:

here is my so you think you can scrap challenge for week 6.  I followed the rules...and yes I used flowers and pink...oh my
Here is the original:

Use the sketch below to create a MONOCHROMATIC layout. You can pick your color.  You may use black or white letters for journaling or titles only.  Layout MUST be double page just like the sketch. You MUST stay true to the sketch. You MUST useALL of the following items on your pages:

Die cut

Border punch

Flowers (at least TWO MUST be handmade)

Bling

Butterflies

For those of you who do not know what a monochromatic layout is it a page done in the same color scheme, only ONE color.  So pick a color of your choice and stay within that family of colors.  The papers can be cardstock OR pattern or a combination of both.  You can use black or white letters for your title/journaling only.  You can also use clear bling.

I double-dipped challenges for this layout.
First I did my C, from the abc challenge on Scrappiestdisneyswaps by using chevron paper.

I then used the sketch and challenge from colorful creations for the sytycs week 5 challenge.  I used the sketch, distressed all paper with Tim's distress ink, tore the left side of the patterned paper, and recycled a punch from a package of scrapping stuff I bought for the date tab.

Here is the original sytycs challenge:
