A Three-fer!

Speaking of combining challenges! I scrapped yesterday and was able to combine the Zany Zinnea Summer Sketch Club sketches with a challenge issued by Terry at The ScrapRoom called Simple Scrapping, AND Willow Trader's Use Up Those Kits challenge! PHEW!!

For the first two, I took a photo of my scraps before I started and then the finished layout::




The "bungee! woo-hoo!" layout is also my entry at Paper Secrets  for their August "I Love Echo Park" contest!

As I mentioned, these we are kept pretty simple, chipboard stickers, alpha, and pretty simple focusing on the photos and not the foo-foo.



The one thing I have discovered in "shopping" thru my older stash, it may have come out two, three, four, or even five years ago, but its all new to me again! And honestly, I'm so glad I didn't use up all of the above papers before because these photos are PERFECT for them!

Thanks for stopping by!

 Godspeed

August 10 - "rings"

August 9 - "messy"

One day I need to get totally organized so I can actually use this table. In the meantime, its one big messy eyesore!

August 8 - "8 o'clock"

At work on my lunch break tonight, glanced at the clock and wishing it was already 10:30pm and time to go home!


August 7 - "glasses"

Part of my antique glass collection we like to get out and fill with a yummy milkshake every now and then. ;-)

August 6 - "handwriting"

I made this layout tonight and VIOLA! My handwriting is in a few spots!


Every year we have a town carnival and this year's included a mechanical bull small enough for the kids. Makayla was having a blast trying to see how long she could last without losing her grip!

August 5 - "logo"

When I get to work, the first stop is at Starbucks for my morning pick me up! This particular morning it was their new Lime Refresher. WOW! Is it ever tasty!


August 4 - "somewhere I sat today"

Until I got booted from this recliner, I was enjoying my cup of coffee! Look who decided they wanted my chair while I made breakfast:


They are kinda cute sitting like that though!

August 3 - "coin"

hmmmm.........

August 2 - "One"

This is ONE gorgeous forecast! Living in the PNW we don't get the extreme heat and humidity others do, but just a touch of 90 degree weather before it heads back to normal. My kind of summer!


Godspeed

August 1 - "Outside"

Jennifer over at The ScrapRoom has issued a challenge of taking a photo every day for the month of August. She is even so kind as to offer the "prompt" for the day - YAY!!! - and with camera in hand,  I'm ready to take on this challenge! And since I may end up scrapping these photos, might as well blog them and get that journaling started!

We had such a late start to our warmer weather but my pole beans didn't give up and my granddaughter  discovered these two "teenie beanies" yesterday. Look closely, they are there!


I'll be back tomorrow with that day's photo!

Godspeed
