New ad up on Ad This

The new ad is up over at the Ad This blog... I am so excited that my little challenge blog has been going strong for a year now and this month it has been featured in Scrap Street magazine. So excited about it and will be keeping my fingers crossed for another amazing year. Be sure to go to Ad This to see all the layouts and for links to Scrap Street.

The twist is to have fun with the ad and to use at least 2 photos, journaling and your favorite embellishments.

Products used:
Heidi Swapp pattern paper
Bazzill Cardstock
Anna Griffin Journaling square
Prima chipboard alphas
Cosmo Cricket rub-ons
Magic Mesh
Love Elsie buttons

Ad This challenge and photoshop step by step

This weeks Ad at Ad This is a fun one... Challenge ends Saturday July 11th...


The twist this week is to change the color or colors of your photo or photos. Rather it be done in photo shop or by inking, painting, chalking etc.

Here is my take on the ad.


I changed one of my photos to black and white while keeping all of my kido's tongues red.

In photo shop elements here is the step by step.

• Open your photo and go to layer and click on duplicate layer.

• A box will open up asking to save as... You want to save as background copy.

• Making sure your background copy is highlighted to the right you want to click on enhance and then adjust color and then click on remove color.

• In your tool box that should be opened you will see an icon of an eraser. You want to click on the magic eraser and then move over to your photo and click where you want the original color to show through. Keep doing this until your photo is how you want it.

• Once done you need to click on Layer and go down to flatten image.

• Then save it

I also decided to do a digital layout since my computer was out of commission for a few weeks. I found this free "Happy go Lucky" digi kit at Shabby Princess. I also mixed in some embellishments from a free Scrap N Art Victorian kit "You don't say" by Angel Pruitt and a fun digital brush from 2 peas in a bucket Queen of Quirk "Give Freely Accents"

Thanks for looking and have a great day.

Happy b-day to me & This weeks ad...

Well today is my day... I am officially 36 today. I feel every bit of it as well. lol I have enough grey hair to last me a life time. This morning my 4 amazing kido's & 2 puppies thought it would be amazing to bust out in song and dance at 6am in my room and on my bed along with tooting on a trumpet. They went all out Cosby style. LOL It was great and my ears are still ringing but I'm still chuckling at little Joshua puckering up and blasting with all his hot air on that trumpet while Lola and Rocky howel along with all the amazing music. You gotta love kids. They even called hubby so he could take part as well. I think the only thing he did was crack up laughing. LOL I plan on having a great day. We are making a run later to Costco for pizza and I am in the process of making my own cake. It's a black and white cake from the amazing Barefoot Contessa. It is the most amazing cake. I will for sure take photos to share. I did want to say thanks for all the e-mails and cards wishing me a Happy Birthday. Yall sure do know how to make a girl feel good. hehe Yall are awesome. Ok so enough of me. LOL

This weeks ad at Ad This is amazing. The twist this week is handmade. You must make your own pattern paper as well as your embellishments. You can use any alphas you like for the title but everything else must be made by you or stamped etc.

Here is my layout. I recycled a piece of 12x12 chipboard and cut out all the shapes on my cricut machine. I inked up some magic mesh and stamped on my cardstock along with a Inkadinkado stamp. Added some Tim Holtz ink and Ranger dimensional pearls. I also used a couple stamps from Unity Stamp company.

Here is this weeks ad... I totally love it.

Thanks for stoping by and have a happy hump day. Hugs
