Smoochable

Last week i won the challenge at Scrapbooker's Paradise and was asked to be a Guest Designer for this week's challenge!! The prompt was "stitching", which is right up my alley. I got out the sewing machine and stitched the blocks and all around the paper and title. So much fun! This blog is from a group of stores here in Alberta where I live. They also have an on-line store too (love this). So, come by and check out the challenge, have some fun and you have a chance to win a great prize! I'm also going to enter this at Scrapbookers Anonymous where they are having a heart/stitching challenge. Oh..I've got hearts on this one..and I was stitching up a storm, lol.

Thanks so much for stopping by. I love reading your comments and I appreciate your scrappy support! Have a wonderfully happy scrappy day! Lynn

Boots

Last night I was browsing around and I found this wonderful site with such beautiful people. So warm and welcoming! The challenge at Soul Scrappers was a quote! "You pray for rain, you gotta deal with the mud too. That's a part of it"... Love it! When I saw that quote, my brain went to the photo of me at the lake with my new rubber boots. We have alot of people out at the cabin, and our boots kept getting confused. So my sister and I went out and bought the most colorful boots we could find. Now the boys stay away from them, lol. I love my pink boots. The inspiration for the design came from the latest Frosted Designs sketch. I flipped it, but I really love how this turned out. I also entered this in the misting challenge at Scrapbookers Anonymous .I'm starting to do my "creative" scrapping after midnight. Not sure how to fit in sleep and scrapping, lol. Have a wonderful day my friends!

Et Cetera Mini Album

Today was a cold and snowy day here so what better thing to do than scrap right? I had this line from Bo Bunny and was saving part of it for a mini album. Today was the day. You should see my desk right now...yikes! At Scrap Your Crap the challenge is to use 50% old product and 50% new product. I have old and new in this book. My miscellaneous draw was all over my floor last night, lol.

The photos are all of our trip to Banff last fall. It was such a memorable holiday that I wanted to do an album just for my husband and I to remember our journey together that weekend. I'm entering this at ScrapFit where the challenge is the simple things in life. That's what this album is about...the simple things. Our family has had a rough few years and we went away to reconnect and enjoy the simple things. To let go and just live in the moment. When I saw this challenge I cried remembering our journey. The last page reads:

Enjoy the little things in life.....

for one day you'll look back and realize they were the big things.

At Scrapbookers Anonymous the challenge is the letter "F"....Fall, Flowers, Family, Fiskars, Fabric, Fiber... love this! You can put alot of "F" in a mini album!

Imagine the Possibilities

This layout is for a challenge at Color Combo Galore. The inspiration was to document your goals for the New Year. My hidden journaling talks about my goals and what I want to learn as well in the New Year. As soon as I saw the photo my eye was drawn to the clock. It seems that time is ticking away so quickly some days. I stenciled a clock on my layout and also used a chipboard clock to remind me to slow down and  relax and enjoy life more often. I loved the soft color scheme of this and really loved using that burst of champagne.

I used this sketch from Stuck On U Sketches to inspire my design. It's a New Year, so let's see if I can attain the goals I've set for myself.

The challenge at Scrapbookers Anonymous is to use ink, mist or paint on your project. I misted my flowers, I masked and inked the clocks, I inked around my papers. I misted and inked the doily. I'm on a mist and ink craze right now I guess you would say, lol

Zoo Day Fun

So this is what I call a "double header" lol. I found the idea for the layout on scrapbookers-anonymous. It was to use holiday paper for a non-holiday layout! I thought that my halloween paper would be great to use for a photo of a tiger we saw at the zoo. Now I had to come up with a layout idea! I went to creative scrappers and used sketch #129. This was almost too much fun! It's wild...but it was fun!
