The ScrapRoom Challenges

Her's one layout I created for the ScrapRoom challenges.  This first challenge was the Jump Start Sketch.


And here is my take on it using some new Simple Stories.  I just loved this color combo!!

Thanks for stopping by!  I'll post my other creations in a separate post.  Happy Scrapping!

Scrappy Friends February Challenge

I finally got a chance to spend the weekend creating. Yay!  It felt good to create again.  This first challenge is always one of my favorites to participate in if I have time.  It's the Scrappy Friend's February Challenge.  Rochelle's Challenge was to use this sketch:

And Brenda's challenge is this;

Plus, over at the ScrapRoom Facebook group, ,there is a challenge to use flowers.  So I opted to add a few to my layout. 

Here is my take on these challenges using a photo of Micah and I a few years ago taken while we were on vacation in San Diego.  

Thanks for stopping by!  Happy Scrapping!

Dear Santa

 As my husband was watching football yesterday, I decided I could finally make some time to scrapbook. I looked around for a few challenges and found these two fun ones:

This first one is from the Challenge Yourself Blog

You have to scrapbook about yourself which is always a good challenge for me. So I found  this vintage photo of me in 1981. I also learned through this process that I am in very few Christmas photos.  Guess I need to take a few more with me in them.

 I also found this adorable sketch for a guest design team position for Lets Get Sketchy

And here is my take on it using the December The Scraproom Kit

Be sure and check out the GDT Call over at Let's Get Sketchy. It looks like lots of fun! Hope you have a very Happy New Year!!

The Scrap Room Flavor of the Month Kit

Hi!  Hope your week is going well!  I finally took the plunge and decided to subscribe to The Scrap Room Flavor of the month Kit.  I have been longingly looked at them since January and decided it was time to subscribe, even though I shouldn't be buying a single sheet of paper LOL.  I have sooo many papers!  But I {heart} patterned paper!  Plus on the facebook group and blog they offer challenges.  Next to patterned paper, challenges are my next favorite.

Here is this month's kit.  LOVE IT!!
             

Here is the sketch from the blog:
                  

And here is my take on it using the Crate Paper Cute Girl Line:

Loved this cute floral paper!  I did add the small dotted paper from my stash as well as the flowers but otherwise it's from my kit.  I love that I can get 2-3 layouts done and not add to my stash(or least I'm hoping to conquer them each month :)

I've also created a few others from the kit using challenges on the Facebook Group.

This one I created first...I loved this Echo Park I Love Family Line!  I also added a few items from a Simple Stories fall line from a few years ago.  They matched perfectly!  This is a photo of me, my mom and 2 sisters on Thanksgiving.  I used a Throwback Sketch from the Facebook Group:

Here's the sketch

And here's one I created for the Freaky Fast Challenge using the Simple Stories Posh line.  This is me and my mom on Mother's day last year.  Love this FFF challenge each month!

Here's the challenge: 

Be sure and check out the Kits at The Scrap Room.  I'm totally loving mine and am so happy I joined their club!  Thanks for stopping by!  

            

The Memory Nest - Let's Party

Hello!  Today I'm sharing a layout created with a sketch by Leslie at The Memory Nest for Make It Monday Challenge 73.  I enjoyed playing with this sketch and loved using up some old Jillibean Soup papers.

Here's the sketch:

And here is my take on it.  Thanks for the inspiration Leslie!

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a fabulous rest of the week!

Scrap Our Stash

So this last challenge I created was for Scrap Our Stash.  They had a Book Inspire challenge with this cover.  I chose to be inspired by the school theme and even tried to use similar colors though the shades are a bit different.

Lastly...here is a layout I created just because.  This is my same son last year after he got his license.  Look at the difference in his hair?!  

Thanks for your patience with the sharing of all my latest scrappy creations.  Thanks for all the inspiration for those that take the time to create sketches and challenges!  I do love this hobby!

The Memory Nest

I love Leslie over at The Memory Nest.  She's one of the nicest people you'll meet!  Years ago I designed for her so I always try and see what challenges she has going on.  This is the sketch challenge she issued earlier this month:

With the photos I used,  I couldn't quite make it work this way so I turned it to create my layout.  Again..I pulled out some old Fancy Pants products (let's be honest it's been so long since I scrapped regularly that all my stash is old).  I remember when this line came out and I just LOVED it but have found that it's not as easy to use as you'd think.  But still, it seemed perfect for these photos of my sister, my daughter and I getting pedicures for my daughter's 21st birthday.  It was the first summer she didn't come home so I went to see her to celebrate with her.  

Oh, and I love patterned paper so much that I added more than the sketch called for so hopefully that's ok.  

Happy Tuesday everyone!
