week 20 @ FTS

More Camping pics, to go with my last challenge. I haven't had time at all to scrap lately and that's a hard thing to live without! Only off one day this weekend and then back to work again so I'm sure I won't get much done this weekend either :/. Anyway, here is my week 20 challenge on yahoo group Friends That Scrap! Great group come check it out if you like scrappin' or chatting or both! I used a sketch plus distressing, 6+ flowers, 4+ pattern papers and hand journalling. 

SYAO 55!

Here is the challenge we had to follow this week! Another CSI Challenge :) I loved the colors but found the overall case file a bit challenging! For the Evidence I used metal brads and twine, as well as some jewels up in the corner. I used the word " Escape " both in my title and in my journaling for the Testimony. I followed the sketch and stretched it a bit to work with a second page that I will share tomorrow. All colors can be found in my flowers.

Wasn't quite sure I'd get this finished today! It's been a crazy busy week and this was again a little out of my comfort zone. A few minutes of thinking outside of the box and well here it is! 

New Blog = New Challenges - YEAH :) !

Promoting another new blog which I hope will bring some new inspiration to my scrappin' ....
Scrap Your Story Challenges Blog  will be up and running soon on March 1st 2013 with some new ideas and challenges etc.. Stop on by and check out their site and try some fun stuff with me!

Just a few ...

Layouts today. Considering I worked though, I feel I got a lot done. Still a page or two to go to complete the current subject I'm scrapping. These pics will look familiar as they are doubles of previous layouts I've made. These set of layouts will be for my dd or ds's albums. 

Thank U Mick for all of your GREAT Paper Piecings I used on these layouts!

I entered this layout on an ACOT challenge for Die Cuts. Again thanks Mick for the great page! 

This page will be added to IASST challenge for the year as it was one of 52 sketches given to work on until next NYE crop! One down 51 to go! 

I made this page for my books and used a sketch on Colorful Creations and entered it into the "Twisted Blueprints" Challenge in which I had to use the sketch, brads and chipboard! 

Thanks for looking :) 

SYAO54 - turned 2 pager!

Here is week 54 of SYAO 2 ! I had a bit of a challenge with the color option being as most of my pics are boy related now to scrap. BUT it all worked out. :) So in my color scheme you will see Teal, a dreamy green, white, pale pink and a darker pink. I used flowers and a solid background as well as a large heart in the center of my page as "evidence". I also used a heart shaped journal box and doodled little hearts as I journalled as well for the "testimony". 

The challenge was taken from CSI blog so I will be entering it there as well.

 My layout was not complete though as I had many pictures from this day and I needed to add page 2 which I tried to make similar to page one but in it's own unique way. Meaning I couldn't keep up with so much pink lol. 

Thanks for looking!   

Washi - Washi !

And so was the challenge to use only washi tape with one piece of cardstock and one other embellie (although I did add a journal/title ticket - I needed someplace to write the memories?! ). This is the result! Not a bad page, but not sure I would do that again LOL. This challenge was for A Cherry On Top. 

101 pages!

I had hoped to hit 100 pages by the end of the weekend and I did just that. Then worked on another after the kiddo went to bed. It went together quickly as it was a challenge with a sketch provided and those are always easy once the pics/papers are pulled. 

So this page was for Acot's sketch 31 challenge. 

And this page was made using parts from IASST  group, page kit swaps!
