I've been hangin' in the Scrap City!

So there's this kick-butt message board called TheScrapCity.com, and it's become my new home away from home. This past weekend there was an online crop, and I was busy! Here's some snapshots of some of the challenges I completed.

Challenge #2 was to use the ScrapCity kit I got in the mail to make 4 cards. I'd like to thank Wendy & Jen for that kit-it was AWESOME. SO many goodies in a pretty little box!

The kit that came in the mail:

And here are my 4 cards:

Challenge #3 was to use the sketch that Wendy posted to make a layout. I decided to use pictures of my friend Chelsea and I from over the years. When I first saw Wendy's sketch I thought it would be a great way to make some sort of timeline-therefore I chose the title "Then & Now". The first picture is us on our High School graduation. The middle is of us a couple years later in my aunt's pool at like, midnight! The last picture is us a couple months ago. I love that girl!

Challenge #10 was to use a Black & White photo on a layout. I took it one step farther, and wanted to make the WHOLE layout B&W...but..I had to use a little red, too! Again, Chelsea & I. And I really don't like the way it turned out. I wish I hadn't already used glue dots to put down the thickers crooked...I liked them at first...now I wish I could move them :(

Happy 4th!

Hey y'all! I've been really busy lately with changing jobs, my tonsil issues, etc...but all is falling into place, and I'm back to scrappin! Here's a quick little Blackboard album I did with all the 4th of July pictures. The 4th of July is totally my favorite holiday ever, always has been, but I've never actually scrapped it before. So I challenged myself-and this is the result. My other challenge was doodling. I've never, ever, ever had the guts to actually take a marker to a scrapbook project, but I did it-and again, this is the result. The pictures are a little out of order due to a photobucket malfunction, but, you get the idea! Thanks for looking!!

Designing for the LSS

Has been quite fun! I'm so blessed to have been given the opportunity to design for a local store here. The owner has given me such yummy products to use, it's really made me step out of my comfort zone and try new things. I've become quite proud of the things I've tried recently!! This is a BoBunny word book (PARTY) that I covered in the new Nana's Nursery pp, and using Bazzill bling cardstock. My idea behind this book was to make it for a Baby boy shower. I used my cricut to cut out "you're invited" and "it's a boy" and used lots of Queen & Co Felt shapes-LOVE those things!
Thanks for looking!!
