It's about Time!

Life has kept me way too busy the last year or so and I found myself letting my scrapbook time slip away.  I recently was able to go to a semi-annual scrapbook retreat and had a fabulous time creating.  It reminded me why I love to scrapbook and I've realized how important it is for me to make time to create each week.  So hopefully I'll be having more blog posts to share what I'm creating.

I thought I'd split up my posts and share a little each day so as to not overwhelm you.  First up:

Here one of my son's graduation announcement.  This is for the 3 Scrappy Friends March Challenge, which involves 3 challenges.  The first challenge is from Rochelle Spears to use either Chevrons or Polka Dots.  The 2nd challenge from Brenda Ragsdale is to use her sketch

 

The third challenge by Kelly is to be inspired by this cute inspiration board.

I chose to use polka dots and from the inspiration board I chose to use the green, blue, white color combo, hearts, and twine.   Here is what I created:

Here's one more using a fun double sketch by Laura Whitaker(truly one of my favorite sketch artists) for ScrapMuch? Isn't this sketch great?  I like a double layout for vacation and big event photos.  

And here is my take on it using photos from an Oregon Coast Vacation a few years ago.  I was proud of myself too for using some very old papers from MME.  It always feels good to use up my stash!

I'll be back soon with more from my scrapbook retreat.  Thanks for stopping by!
