ScrapLovers December Reveals

Used up some of my stash I've purchased from the ScrapLovers store over the past few months for these.

Ocean Vacation featuring Making Memories Passport collection


Go Jump In A Lake featuring Cosmo Cricket's Mr. Campy collection


and Holiday Daily Grind featuring a hodge podge from Fancy Pants, Jenni Bowlin, and Maya Road


And I finally managed to complete this layout for the 12 Days of Christmas challenge I issued at both ScrapLovers and TS....took me 2 weeks to complete....must have been more challenging than I thought

Beauty Queen


More scrapping to do before the new year hits......thanks for looking.

All I Want for Christmas.....

Just a quick post to show off this fun layout I did for the last Scrapping the Music challenge for the year!!!! Loved cutting into this fun new Sass Lass I got.

In My Life....

I love you more.....that was this week's lyric challenge at Scrapping the Music.....and it was the only layout I managed to complete this week.....but I love the way it turned out!!!

I Love You More



Can't wait to see what the next challenge will be....if you've never checked them out....check out the link on my sidebar!!

I've decided.....

that I must get this blog up and going again.....no better day to start than the first of a new month. I've been scrapping away over my 5 day holiday break.....so without further ado.......here are some new creations of mine.

The December kit from 2 Croppin' Cousinz this month features the holiday line from Bo Bunny.....very well put together kit....and would be excellent for the upcoming holiday photos I'm sure you will be snapping....check it out here.

And here's what I did with it.....

Making Spirits Bright


Good To Have You Home


The Most Wonderful Time of the Year


You Are the Gift (an altered clothespin)


And Leslie has outdone herself with this month's Treasured Scrapbooking's kit.....both of which feature new Jenni Bowlin amongst many other goodies.....check the new December kits out here.

And my first layout I did using a mixture of both kits....

Ponder


And don't forget to check out the sketch gallery at TS....with new sketches posted the first of every month.

I've also been having fun participating in the challenges over at Scrapping the Music- see my sidebar for a link- and if you complete a challenge this week your name will go in a drawing to win a November kit from 2 Croppin' Cousinz.....another must have.

Here's my two layouts for the past two weeks.....

Just a Girl


My 5 o'clock World


Off to work now.......but hope to post some more stuff I've been working on later this week....and keep to a regular posting schedule again.....as always thanks for stopping by and happy scrapping!!!

Scrap4Life Reveal

This month at Scrap4Life, we were lucky to get to work with Scenic Route's new Sonoma collection.......which is full of deep, rich colors and gorgeous patterns. Here is a heritage page I completed with a photo of my grandparent's 50th wedding anniversary taken about 25 years ago.

50 Years


And here's a layout where I mixed the Sonoma with some Basic Grey Recess.....the challenge here was to use song lyrics as the journaling....so I chose Trace Adkin's song You're Gonna Miss This.....if you haven't heard this song yet, it is awesome.

You're Gonna Miss This


And for Round 2 in the So You Think You Scrap contest at Scrap for a Cure, we had to lift a DT member.....so I chose to lift this one by Danielle......and here's my version

Who's a funny boy?



Now to wait and see if I make it to the final round. Nothing more to share today....hope to get to more scrapping this weekend.....have a great rest of the week!

It's About Time

Well......it's about time I got back into blogdom........things are slowly (and I mean slowly) beginning to settle in our world.......and very soon I should be getting my own scraproom again which should really boost my creativity and productivity.

Check out the Vintage Moon in this month's kit 1 from Treasured Scrapbooking.


And Kit 2 is just as awesome with new Dream Street and Pink Paislee in it. Here is my first layout for the month.....

Leaf Monster


Did this layout for a sketch challenge over at ScrapLovers this month....

A Princess Can Have Her Cake


And completed this one for my monthly challenge at TS and Scrap4Life.....

I'm One Today


On a fun note, check out these exclusive stamps at 2 Croppin' Cousinz this month designed by yours truly....


And last, but certainly not least, since this layout was what broke me out of the creative slump I've been in the last two months.......I did this as part of the So You Think You Can Scrap contest going on over at Scrap for a Cure.

The Night Time Stood Still

Journaling reads- and you flew away home, we could have neer prepared for. A phone call we would have never thought to receive this soon...with the news that the lifeblood of this family was gone. From that moment on, all our lives were forever changed. And an inner strength would prevail. It's been almost two months...filled with many trying moments, much sorrow, and the beginning of the rebuilding process. One thing is certain, we will go on because you taught us well and we were all blessed to have known you. Tere is no doubt that you have received your wings and that we have a guardian angel watching from above.

Thanks for stopping by!!!
