Card Crop!

During this last weekend of September 2012 I'm participating in a card crop over at The ScrapRoom! Some cute challenges and I've managed SEVEN cards so far and quite impressed with myself! Some are pretty simple, other aren't but I think I came up with some pretty cute ones to share in the coming months.

First up was my color challenge using this photo for inspiration:

my sample

monochromatic color challenge

 initials challenge: B = bird, J = journal spot, F = flower

 layout inspiration

 recipe challenge using chipboard and ribbon

 keep it simple challenge

 Washi tape challenge

There are a few more I'd like to take on, but first the sun has come out and I'm wanting to catch some warm rays before the rains reappear for the Fall and Winter months.

Not a total slacker!

CRAZY month!! Between school back in session, watching the babies when my son was so very illl, and now trying to get over "this lingering for weeks" cough, I did managed a bit of "me time" and scrapped!

I've been helping out over at The ScrapRoom, filling in for one of the MOD's who was unable to be with us, and issued a couple challenges. Here are my sample layouts ....

Back To School Challenge

 Lessons Learned Challenge

 And this next group is just using up some of my older stash with the help of sketches from Zany Zinnea's sketch class and some I've saved from the web from various blogs .....

So although I wasn't posting them, I was creating layouts in my "spare moments" these past few months! Thanks for taking the time to look!

Basic Grey Blog Sketch entry!

Oh how I have missed playing with paper! Been reorganizing my scrap area and its finally DONE and now I give myself permission to play once again!

First up is a challenge from Basic Grey using the card sketch posted on September 10th.

I used some older papers that  I discovered in my reorganizing, Lemonade from 2009. Loved it then and still love it today!

Thanks for dropping by. Godspeed
