ANOTHER FRIDAY NIGHT!

I was blessed to join my friend Maraline for another Friday night of dinner and scrapping.  I struggled with my mojo and was only able to complete one layout.  But, it is the answer to my previous post - so why was Robin crying...

I used Scrapbook Challenges 

Flashback Friday Sketch #232 - 

and my layout - 

The reason for Robin's tears was that during the crop as a surprise she was gifted with a wonderful cart of food and a beautiful mixed media canvas signed by everyone.

 and now few close-ups-

I am struggling with packing for my move and will be needing to get my scrapbooking area thoroughly cleaned up very soon so my posts may be even less than they have been lately but please do keep watch as I love hearing what you think of my creations!

Hope you are having an awesome weekend and a blessed restful Sunday!

BEAUTIFUL COUNTRYSIDE!

In order to post all my layouts I had to separate my posts as I used 2 sketches from 

Scrapbook Challenges...

Here I used 

Scrapbook Challenges Sketch #456.

And my layout-

and now...finally off to bed for me!

MORE FROM THE BEE!

In this post I am going to share 3 more pages from my April trip to Ohio Amish Country 
for the Bee Happy Bee Scrappy Crop 

with Robin's Scrap Nest!

The first uses an Overlay that I bought at the crop from Original Overlays- 

Isn't this ribbon adorable?

(YIKES!!!  a friend just pointed out my poor spelling! How did I miss that "H"?! 

Must get that fixed ASAP!)

For my second layout I used 

Scrapbook Challenges 

Flashback Friday Sketch #303

and my layout - 

 I am ENJOYING LIFE

Be yourself. EVERYONE ELSE IS TAKEN.

And my third layout uses The Memory Nest 

Make It Monday #48

and a fun tag I created using a Julie Nutting doll and a 

C-thru the Woods doll.

For some reason I thought there was a 

pink & black doll challenge but I can't seem to figure out which site I had seen it on!

And now...off to bed!

Sweet Dreams to all!

HOPEFULLY I WILL BE ABLE TO SHARE THEM ALL...

I completed the album the morning of the wedding!  I managed to get photos of all the pages but I am not even sure what challenges they all went to as I was working so fast.  So I will share what I have as best as I can!

First up-

From ScrapMuch?! Sketchy Friday 8/21

and my layout-

Next from Turtle Soup Monday Sketch 8/3-

Scrapbook Challenges #10

Scrapbook Challenges #452

and mine-

and of course the back page-

I just loved this paper and never knew exactly what I was going to do with it.  As soon as I saw it in my stash I knew the back cover would be perfect as I could leave it just as it was. All I added was the little 'Made With Love By:  Paula' to the bottom.

Somehow there should be 4 more pages. Hopefully I will find the photos and the challenges they go with for a future post.

I hope you have enjoyed seeing most of the rest of the wedding book. You will get to see the last of the pages on my post for the Scrapping Everyday Miracles September challenge.

THE BRIDGE

Today I have a layout to share with you.  I was able to enter it in several different challenges...  It starts with the challenge about Michigan on Soul Scrappers.  The challenge shared all sorts of information about the state of Michigan and ended with this -

"I hope after learning a bit about my state, you are inspired to scrap about scenery, wildlife, automobiles, lakes, a bridge..." 

I took several bridge photos on my way home from Ohio last September so I knew this would give me the opportunity to share a few of them.

I chose Sketch #425 from Scrapbook Challenges.

I rotated the sketch 1/4 turn clockwise.

 

I chose the color inspiration from the 2/12 Color Challenge on Scrap Much?

 

The February Stash challenge W-A-S-H-I over at

Scrap Our Stash.

My items are:

W - Wooden Alphas

A - Arrow

S - Sticker Alphas

H - Hexagons

I - Ink

 

and Giorgia's February challenge over at

Sketches4All for using an arrow.

 

and finally here is my layout -

 

and a close up of my wooden alphas and arrow!

 

I hope you have enjoyed all the little details!  I'll be back tomorrow to share something new!  In the meantime, have a wonderful evening and a may no bad luck befall you this Friday the 13th! 

 

 

 

 

BACK AGAIN WITH MORE FROM THE CIVIL WAR DAYS!

Today I have another layout to share from our visit to Rupp House Historical Museum in Gettysburg, PA when we were there for the 140th Reenactment of the Battle of Gettysburg back in 2003.

I used sketch #381 from Scrapbook Challenges which I somehow mistakenly thought was the current sketch...which it is not.  :(

 

I turned the sketch upside down to accommodate my photos.

 

I am also entering this in Lasting Memories challenge #224 - Captured Memories, and Soul Scrappers Movie Marathon MM8 Thelma & Louise. 

 

 

For this challenge you needed to create a layout or card with this
criteria:

*   the colors blue and white must be predominant; and
*   I want you to use brads

And here is my layout:

and a close up of my brads -

Thank you for visiting my blog.  I hope that you have enjoyed my latest creation.  I will have some special things to share on February 1 also so please keep coming back!
