Sunday Scrapping!

I was productive this weekend!

 I did a layout based on Shimelle's  latest Starting Point. I love the idea of keeping all the action of a 12x12 page at the top.

I used Scraptastic's July Kit on here. It's about time I busted into it! Thanks for stopping by!

Color Me Scrappy Challenge #12

I am loving THIS challenge website. I have been so inspired to create. This week's color challenge is some bright and happy colors that look like a bowl of Froot Loops!

Here's my layout

 So much fun using up some Cocoa Daisy kit stuff which went with the color scheme perfectly!!

I also used the exclusive stamp that comes in the kit. Very cool looking!

I cut a little Starbucks label off a cup sleeve to add to my layout and punched some clouds to make the Amy Tangerine diecut.

Thanks for stopping by and make sure you check out the fun challenge over at Color Me Scrappy!

BIG IDEA FESTIVAL DAY13

All the prompts have been given for the BPS Big Idea Festival but I am just getting down to creating a few things.

Day 13: Scrap an imperfect part of your life.

I chose to do a layout about my home. In a neighborhood of McMansions, it's easy to get caught up in having the latest and greatest. That's just not what makes me happy.

I used some OA Sasparilla on here plus lots of little bits. To further the whole "imperfection" theme, I happened to have gotten a big droplet of water right onto my journaling (insert expletive)!!!!!

 Oh well, that's the way it goes. Thanks for stopping by!!

Learn Something New!

Another 6x6 page done for Shimelle's class.

Color Me Scrappy Challenge

I played along over at Color Me Scrappy for this week's color challenge.

I really loved this combo of red, gray and blue. Not normally colors I pick to scrap with, mainly because I have 2 girls.

I went through my stash picking old and new product and paired it with a photo of me and my dad from 1975.  This layout has extensive journaling on it which is a rarity for me. I guess since my father's passing I felt it important to write down specific memories I had of my dad.

I used a vintage patterned piece of October Afternoon (Cherry Hill)/some 9 to 5 OA Tidbits, Crate Paper and LYB patterned paper, Echo Park Note to Self (viewmaster), American Crafts Thickers and Remark sticker letters, MS loopy punch.

Simon Says Stamp and Show!

The latest challenge at Simon Says Stamp and Show the challenge was to create something to do with text.  I covered a 6x6 chipboard mini album with tissue paper and paint and ink and an old encyclopedia page. I stamped and used rubons and made some pretty watercolored butterflies, which I then embossed with a text plate in my Cuttlebug. What fun I had!

 All my Learn Something New class pages will live in here.

. Thanks for looking!

Learn Something New!

I just started Shimelle's newest class........Learn Something New Everyday. So today is my day 1. I'm using an old Heidi Swapp 6x6 album.

I used Crate Storyteller and some AC Thickers. I used a camera pin and little glassine envie.... both of which came from a Studio Calico kit.

So literally, I enter the city at Penn Station....hence "you are here." (SC stamp set)

and I just had to add a few sprinkles of confetti.

I've also been playing along at BPS's Big Idea Festival. Day one is about sending cards to show folks you care. I have a bunch of thank you's to make and a pile of scraps to get rid of.

So these happened....

I added some interest to the butterfly punches by stamping them with THESE pretty MME stamps. TFL!
