After this past Christmas I am pretty sure that my son, Connor, does! For months, I mean literally months, he has been talking non-stop about the X-Box One. That is all that he wanted for Christmas. One day he even told me that if he didn't get that, he wouldn't even have a Christmas because that is all that he wanted! I knew he would love this gift so I pre-ordered it months ago but of course, like the good Mom that I am, I couldn't tell him that I gotten it for him! I had to torture him ( and myself because I had to keep hearing about it daily) and tell him that I was having a hard time finding it anywhere because they were all sold out! HA!! It was so worth it on Christmas morning when he ripped open this present!! And yes...he LOVES it!!!
I was inspired to create this page by the color challenge here on Kelly's page, which is part of the scrap friends challenges as well as the awesome sketch challenge at Let's Capture our Memories and the current challenge at Scrap our Stash, which was to use 5 (enamel dots), 4 (patterned papers), 3 (stickers), 2 (photo frames) and 1 rub-on.
I also created this layout in record time! It just seemed to come together so quickly! It is a Steal from the Saturday challenge at My Scraps & More and I was also inspired by the challenge at Twisted Tuesdays to use washi tape AND something on my page that started with one of the letters in the word "tape". I used enamel dots!
Thanks for looking!!
...with paper, NOT snow! It is way too cold outside to be doing any kind of playing out there but I have had a great time inside playing along with some fun challenges!! The other day I stumbled across a blog post about the challenges of the "scrap friends" so I went and checked it out. So Fun!!! I created this layout based upon the sketch on Brenda's blog, used the word "celebrate" as part of my title for
Kristi's word challenge and used the diagonal row (flowers, mini alphas and Mist) from Rochelle's
tic-tac-toe challenge. I also incorporated My Scraps & More's 1/16 Thursday Throwback challenge of using a large circle, Southern girls Challenge blog plus SnC's New Year challenge! Wheew...that's a lot of challenges in one little 'ole layout!! LOVE it!!
Thanks for stopping by!
I finally played with one of the mini collections from October Afternoon's Daily Flash Vol. 1, Milk Money! I used one of the patterned papers and cut out the books and lined them up at the bottom of my page. This page worked perfectly for the Mix it Up Monday challenge at My Scraps & More which was to have "3 of 3" on your layout. My three are 3 different patterned papers, 3 enamel dots and 3 die cuts!! Challenges always make scrappin' that much more fun for me!
I also used a fun sketch from a great scrapbook group that I am a part of. Love when pages come together so easily!!!
Enjoy your day!
My daughter Taylor, and her friend Amanda have been great friends since kindergarten. They are now both out of high school and starting their own lives. I hope that their friendship lasts a lifetime!!! For this page I used the Pebbles "From Me to You" collection. I just LOVE the colors in it. If you are a card make then this line is a must!! Such cute, cute embellishments to go along with it that would make awesome cards. Too bad I don't make cards :/ I created my layout based on this fun sketch that I found over at Stuck? Sketches...
Thanks for stopping by to check out what I have been up too. Now off to go play with some more paper...
Luckily though, there is no snow, but it is freezing!!! Well, after the two hour delay followed by a bomb threat and waiting out in the cold for over an hour to find my son (true story - so scary!!) I got a little time to scrap!! I play along with a scrapbook challenge called "Mad Dash" in which you were challenged to create a layout in 60 minutes or less! Things were flyin' everywhere I tell ya but I did get to create this page...
It is not my best by any means, but not too bad for being in a hurry!!!! I was also inspired by the fun challenges they post on the site 1 2 3 Get Scrappy! I love tic tac toe scrap challenges and they do that every month! How fun!! They are also having a design team call so go and check them out here!!
Have a great Friday!!
It has been 1 1/2 years since he has been gone yet sometimes...it feels like yesterday. My Dad was my everything! I was his only daughter so I was the typical Daddy's girl. After I grew up and had my own family, we weren't as close or we didn't see each other often but I knew, just ALWAYS knew, that my Dad was there! I miss his voice, his hugs, his talks, just everything! I don't think it really ever gets easier losing someone, you just learn how to deal with it better. I have had this picture in my stack to scrap since the summer he passed away. I took it of his place as I left town. I want to always remember it the way it was when it was his.
I was invited to join the team at a brand new challenge blog!! Check out the announcement here and make sure you become a follower so you don't miss out on any of the upcoming fun!!
