Scrapbooksteals.com Birthday Bash 4th Birthday


Welcome to the first stop on the ScrapbookSTEALS Birthday Blog Hop!!

They are having four challenges, in which each challenge has prizes attached. Not only that but there's an online crop and lots of great deals going on so make sure you click on the link above for details.

Challenge #1 - happy 4th birthday – use 4 items
My four items were patterned paper, enamel dots, pop dots and stickers. Can you find my journalling...

Challenge #2 – 2009
Well, in 2009 I went to New York and Florida.  I did things on a whim and lived life spontaneously.  I still do but I now have two children and I try to be as responsible as I can. :)  This photo of my brother and sister and I reminds me how silly I am.  And to remind my children that I can be just as crazy as they are... (Maybe they already know that)
Challenge #3 – Favorite Vendor
I adore Mr. Hueys and now own multiple bottles. On this layout, I used a mask to create an ombre effect using Mr Huey`s Taxi and Sunshine colors.  First, I took the Taxi color and prayed heavy on the bottom and lighter as I went up the page.  I then took the Sunshine color and sprayed at the bottom.  I took a roll of paper towels and rolled upwards to get the ombre effect. I also did splatts of Opaque White and Honor Society.   

Challenge #4 – Washi Fever
Well, I used a set of tags for this challenge - You can seriously make some quick tags and cards with washi so go nuts!
