Some crafty creations and a quest to be crowned Queen

Hello friends! I've been pretty busy participating in the Queen of Paradise challenge at Croppin Paradise. My sweet and talented friend Lisa (you might have seen her layout in the new issue of Scrapbooks Etc) invited me on this lovely cruise that suddenly shipwrecked us all on a beautiful island. Thankfully all our scrappy stuff washed ashore and we've been keeping ourselves quite busy!

We found ourselves quite hungry so our first challenge was to scrap a layout about our favorite place to eat

For this challenge I chose to scrap our favorite Kauai eatery with an amazing view, SCOTTY'S. I chose to do a multi-photo layout to share a few pics from different visits to this delicious restaurant known for it's amazing BBQ ribs. I did not win immunity in this challenge so the next challenge we were given to survive was to create a tag and the polls would be open for friends and family to vote. If you didn't get enough votes sadly you would be voted off the island.

here's my tag I created with Hero Arts stamps

and another shot tied on a gift. A special shout out to all my friends who voted me to the next round!!! I made it!! Thanks!

Challenge 2 was to create a layout using at least 2 colors from a beautiful island picture

Here's my take on the challenge. The voting began and I'm thrilled that I won immunity for this challenge!!!! Now onto challenge 3 to stay in the game....

This is a simple but sweet friendship card I made for a very special friend who is so supportive of my creative journey and makes me feel good about myself and my abilities as an artist. The sentiment couldn't say anything more about the way I feel. Thanks so much friend!!!

And finally, I told you I've been busy! Here's a little something I created for the sketch challenge happening over at the Hero Arts blog this week! I got 5 new sets and the clouds Design block I've been wanting forever thanks to free shipping at Two Peas and a free set from Hero for ordering!!!

Oh and don't forget Get Sketchy kicks off this Friday and they'll be prizes!!! We've got sponsors lining up for our fabulous sketch blog and you won't want to miss the first sketch challenge!!!
