My Scrapbook Nook - Virtual Crop

I had so much fun scrapping this weekend. My Scrapbook Nook was having a crop with tons and tons of fun challenges. I hate it that I only got 3 done. There where so many more that I wanted to do...there just aren't enough hours in the weekend.

This is my first page...Challenge #11 - Getting to know you.

Talk about hard! What a great challenge. The challenge was to interview a family memeber. Then where the hard part comes in...you had to use 4 pps(target $ spot pp, BG, MLYB and CI), at least 2 different alphas(AC, MM and Dyno tape) and 5 different types of embellies (buttons, flowers, bling, puff ball ribbon, and a journal tag).







Second is #3-Old Stash

All the talk of vintage photos really got me wanting to scrap and old photo! This was me when I was 3. I used some ancient Daisy D pp that I've had since, well, forever! It was waiting just for this picture I think. I also used some old Prima flowers and bling from last year that I just can never bare to use. Just too darn cute to use up!





Then last was Challenge #7 - Scraplift

I am so in love with this designeers work! It was just an honor to get to scraplift LG Balarmino. I lifted her Winter Funland page.



Here is my lift:

Back Porch Memories

Can you believe it has been nearly a month since my last post? Yikes! There just isn't enough hours in the days.

I am so excited to be posting this today. I was lucky enough to get to scrap as a guest designer for Back Porch Memories this month! Yay! What a privilege it has been! The January Solo kit is absolutely gorgeous! It's filled with My Mind's Eye, Fine & Dandy goodness!! I am so excited about this kit, I don't know which page to show first!

Let's see, the first page I did was Welcome to Kindergarten.





This is Chloe on the first day of school. She was so very excited! On this page I used the Fancy Pants, Love Birds alpha stickers, I used a bunch of the MME Fine & Dandy Layered Stickers, those things are just too cute!! I also used some of the Fine & Dandy MME Ribbon, I loved that too! So gorgeous! The pps I used are Tickled Pink: Adorned, Cheery and Pretty. I also used the Fine & Dandy Jewels from the add-on embellishment kit.

The second page I did was Snow Fun! More Chloe...she is my camera hog!






I used a lot of the same goodies on this page as my first, the Fine & Dandy ribbons, the jewels, and the layered stickers. I also used both the Fancy Pants Alphas and the Bumble Thickers in my title. I did add a few buttons from my stash as I have a button addiction. lol The papers are all Tickled Pink pps, Radiant, Pretty and Cheery.

The third page, Our very Own Sunshine, I did for the January sketch.






I thought it would be fun to follow along with Danielle P.'s Single/Double challenge with this sketch! More gorgeous jewels, more yummy ribbon. I used the Bumble Thickers for my title. I also had fun with some fussy cutting with the little birds and circles from the Adorned pp. I also used Cheery and Radiant pps.

Then last but not least...this was such a fun project! And what a way to use up scraps. I used nearly all of the rest of my kit on this flower pot.






I finally got to use the gorgeous aqua and Orange Jillibean Soup Sugar Picks and I also used all 6 ppps from the kit in this project. I also finished off the rest of my ribbon too. :-( I want some more! Of course I added some buttons from my stash.

And that's all! I so hope you enjoy this kit as much as I did! I really tried to do those gorgeous papers and goodies justice.

Good afternoon!

I did this page for one of Back Porch Memories monthly challenges. Michelle's Thankful/Grateful recipe challenge. The ingredients were the word "grateful or thankful" a button, floss, and a die cut. I used The girls paperie pp, half of a MME diecut, a prima flower, bobunny and my little shoebox letter stickers...and Colossians 3:15 for journaling.









Isn't she just the prettiest thing?? This was 5 minutes before she snuck off the dock and went for a swim. It was 60* out, but she sure didn't care! The pps are adornit with some K & Co. and Bo Bunny border pieces.

Another fun back to school page. I used Basic Grey and October Afternoon papers. Some Pink Paislee Back to School rubons, and Bayberry Cottage clear stickers. The letter stickers are Thickers, Hiedi Swapp CB and Target $ spot letters.

I'm finally starting to get my scrapping mojo back. I don't know what happened there for a little while but I just couldn't get in the mood to scrap!

This was with some scraps left over from my October SO PP and BB kit! These papers are so much fun.





Taylor's pretty face is just covered in freckles. Chloe has always called them sprinkles and it's kind of just caught on...now we all call them sprinkles. I used Green at Heart Basic Grey pps.







And then this last one I've done was the end of the first day of school. Taylor was so happy and Chloe was so exhausted! OA pps in this page!

Scrap that Vacation

This was my first page for this weekend's Scrap that Vacation crop that's happening at Simply Obsessed!! So much fun. I don't have ANY vacation pictures...so I'm just making do. :-( The challenge was to use predominately primary colors. Easy enough! I used some scraps from July's SO Lilybee - Hello Sunshine kit and also some American Crafts Abode.

Simply Obsessed - Happy Birthday Blog Hop!

Happy Birthday Simply Obsessed! Celebrating 3 years of Scrappy Awesomeness! I hope you are enjoying our Blog Hop this morning! You should have come to me from Brianna's blog, Jill of all Tradez ?? If you didn't and you just got supper lucky to stumble on all of our birthday fun, you can start at the beginning of the hop at the Simply Obsessed Blog!!!

I wanted to make something special for the blog hop. Something birthday related that might be a little unique? I racked my brain until I finally desided I needed to make a Perpetual Birthday Calendar! After I put it all together I decided that, well...now that I will Remember WHEN I need to make my peeps some cards, I also need to know WHERE to mail them. lol So I added an address book too! It was so simple. It spent more time typing up the calendar and address pages than it did to make the book. It's made with October Afternoon papers and letter stickers, some American Craft Thickers and Foofala buttons. Oh, and the font for the tabs is one of my favorites, it's called Digs my Heart. (Thank you Ronda)











Well there you have it! I hope you have been inspired. Happy Scrapping and off you go to Shana's place! I hope you enjoy our Birthday Blog Hop! Happy Scrapping!
