My Constant

Well, obviously one of the constants in my life is scrapping....here are a few layouts I've managed to scrap in the past few days.

This one was for the challenge over at The Design Experiment blog.....to do a layout about a constant in your life....I was so inspired I managed to finish this layout in about 30 minutes.

My Constant


I also found time to participate in the Sisterhood of Scrap blog challenge this past week- to use one of their sketches. Photos are of my parent's wedding.

I Thee Wed


These next two layouts I did as part of the DT call contest I'm in over at Addicted Scrappers. The first challenge was to do a layout all in brown. I tried a photo technique I saw in an old magazine.....layering the photo to make a portion of it stand out in color...I tried to make it look like mud splats.

No Mud About It


And the next challenge was to scrap a 6x12 layout...my first....I actually turned this one into a wall hanging I have up in my scraproom.

The Road Not Taken


And one I did a few weeks ago with this year's Mother's Day photos....just because.

My Darling


And don't forget the Guest Sweetheart call going on at ScrapLovers (see my previous post)....would love to see some of you enter.....and we also have the August GDT call going on at Treasured Scrapbooking....check out the details here.

Thanks for stopping by...and hope you had a great weekend!!

Cybercrops, chats, and layouts too!

I want to start this post with Treasured Scrapbooking....Treasured Scrapbooking was down for five days due to server issues. The good news is that the site is back up and running. The bad news is that everything has been reset to the last available back up from December, 2007. If you registered after that point, you will need to register again. Leslie is devastated by all of this and is working very hard to get everything reorganized. In the meantime, we have a new BLOG to keep members updated in addition to the forums. And if you are wanting to order one of the AWESOME June kits, please send Leslie an email at Leslie.Hammill@comcast.net.

And here are 2 layouts I made using the June kits.

Who doesn't love Bazzill?

This month at Scrap4Life, our sponsor is none other than the yummy Bazzill. At first, doing layouts with pretty much just cardstock was a little intimidating. But I'm very pleased with the way my first two layouts turned out.

I also got two more layouts done with the yummy 7 Gypsies products we were given at ScrapLovers to work with for April...just forgot to post them here.
