Oh, what a beautiful morning!!
The sun is shining ever so bright thru my window and you can just feel the "happiness" throughout the house!! Love my sunny days and savor every moment of them since I know that the doom and gloom of the PNW winter is just too long sometimes. So again today, I plan on spending as much time in the sunny outdoors and let my troubles fade away. :-)
But first, I want to share with you the layouts I put together this past week. These are of our local county fair. As a family, we hit the gates before they open and shut the place down at night! We have such fun times and share such great memories!! Those paper doll images from October Afternoon were so fitting for these first two layouts!
Thanks for stopping by!

TSR Sketch Challenge!
Every month on the ScrapRoom Blog, they have a sketch contest which is open to anyone who subscribes to their blog. Enter for your chance to win a $10 gift certificate to the ScrapRoom Store! Here is my interpretation of that sketch for August:
Still chipping away at the never ending stash I've acquired!

Attacking that stash!
Yep, been using up some older kits to make room for the new ones coming! Using sketches by Allison Davis and it makes it so fast and easy with her measurements and placement instructions!
Went ahead and premade some others for when I get those photos finally printed. :-)
If you haven't checked out her site, you really should. She has some wonderful ideas on handmade embellies that you can make from papers that you already have! Money is tight nowadays and I don't want to give up my favorite pastime - besides my grandbabies that is! - so without cutting corners, I can still come up with some nice looking layouts without alot of fluff!
Have a great scrappy day!

Great Scrapping Weekend!
I know I'm a tad bit late, but last saturday, August 6th, we had a member hosted crop at The ScrapRoom and I managed to get some things done. First up, here is the challenge I issued:
OOPS! Challenge
We’ve all had it happen, the perfect photo op where you’re all ready, you only get one chance, and oops! You didn’t check the setting on your camera and the color is HORRIBLE! What to do?? Your chance is now a thing of the past …..
For this challenge, grab those off-color photos and change them to black and white! And while you’re at it, make those photos two different sizes and follow this recipe for that perfect layout!
Your Ingredients:
* at least 3 pattern papers
* a banner
* buttons
* mix up your alphabets
* journal strips
If you want to use several photos, please feel free, but there must be at least two different sizes. If you’re daring and want to expand it into a double page layout, go for it!!
I will say that this is something I don't do enough of, but watch out! I think the black & white look is AWESOME!!
For this next one, we were given a sketch and had to complete it in one hour. I followed the sketch to a tee and was done in 45 minutes! That doesn't happen very often. Makayla is so darn cute in that catcher's gear!!
And for this final challenge, we were to do a simple layout, not alot of fluff or too many papers, just simple and focus on the photos:
It was alot of fun and the games were a hoot, and an all around good way to spend a day of scrapping with your "cyber friends". :-)

Hello AUGUST!!
What a beautiful way to start out this month - the sun is shining bright, a slight breeze in the air, and in the low 80's during the day. Gotta love the summer months in the Pacific NW! And to think we wanted to moved away from this slice of heaven?! Glad we got over THAT!!
Before diving into this week's WT Tag Challenge, I noticed I forgot last week's, OOPSIE! I really like how these two came out. This first one I was challenged to use some type of fabric or equivalent (crocheted flowers), metal (brads), and five pattern papers (Basic Grey Lemonade collection).
Since school will be starting again in four weeks, I thought it was time to scrap Makayla's kindergarten portrait. Better late than never, right?!
And my Scraplift Challenge was to incorporate the "whimsy" feel and doodling of the person ahead of me. In it I used Fancy Pants Rough & Tough and gave it a "girlie" twist!
And since I was in a scrappy mood, I went ahead and got a few more layouts completed. Have I mentioned it feels GREAT to scrap again?!?
Thanks for stopping by!
