I did it!!

I finally did the "Get More Pages Done" Challenge at The ScrapRoom !! Something I have not accomplished in months! Yes, I am very proud of myself at the moment. Here is my last entry:


YAY ME!!

Godspeed

Two more in the books!

I love participating in challenges with time limits because it really gets me motivated to get my layouts done! Willow Traders has a "scraplift tag" challenge and a "challenge tag" challenge for the past few weeks and this week I joined in. What fun! They have a wide array of scrappers and its such a joy to see the different variations.

My "scraplift tag" challenge using the Fancy Pants Its The Little Things:


And my "challenge tag" challenge using LillyBee Designs Hello Sunshine. The challenge given to me was to use three different types of embellishments. I used ribbon, buttons, and a brad. My challenge that I issued was to use polka dots and strips pattern papers, and some stitching.


Hopefully they'll continue this because my desire to scrap is back!!

Ahhh.....

This is one Happy Momma & equally Happy Gramma once again! The kids are back home where they belong and settled into their place. As life is starting to get back to some form of normalcy, if that's possible, I have found the desire to get back to my favorite pastime, scrapbooking. :-)

I dug right into my kit from The ScrapRoom and created these two layouts. The first one is using Pink Paislee's Hometown Summer. My grandaughter is such a ham in front of the camera and she demonstrated for me "how to eat the perfect popsicle!" Her favorite at the moment is the cotton candy one she has here:


As you can see, I tend to keep it rather simple and let the photos tell the story and this second one demonstrates that as well. My grandaughter and I were making critters with the Cricut for her, and I couldn't help but make these diecuts for this layout using the Lily Bee This & That collection:


Here I am with the grandbabies trying relentlessly to get that perfect photo of the three of us. Well, it didn't quite happen, but we had so much fun trying that I just had to scrap these anyways! After all, life isn't perfect, so why should all our photos be! ;-)

They're HOME!!!

Tonight my family will once again be complete! Although I've had the grandbabies since Sunday night, the kids will be here in a few hours with the moving van with their belongings! It has been a horrendous time for us all and so glad this chapter is coming to a close.

They will be staying here with us for a bit, Michelle will have to find herself a job, but we can do anything as long as we're together!

Godspeed
