Crafty Pastime

Hi All! Scrapbooking has slowed down for me as we get into busy season at work.  Today I am sharing a challenge that I have been working on. I created this layout for the ChallengeYOUrself March Challenge. I absolutely loved this challenge because it allowed me to showcase everything that I love and who I am.  I was able to have fun with just throwing things on that I love.  Can you tell how much I love bright colors???  The sunflower gave me trouble and seems to be out of place, but I couldn't help but add it on since it is my favorite flower.  Thanks for stopping by!  Question for my visitors: Do you scrapbook one page at a time or do you scrapbook multiple pages at a time? I seem to be the type that can't move on to another page until my current page is done.    I am entering this layout to the following Challenges: Challenge YOUrself  #87 Mixed Media Academy  using this mood board

I think in February I may have been on fire with my scrapbooking.  I was pumping those pages out, in the end, hard work pays off.  First, I was selected as Top 3 over at Lasting Memories . YAY! So happy and grateful. I was also the random winner for two challenges, Challenge YOUrself and Scrap with Stacy .  YAY! More goodies to play with and techniques to try.  Today's layout is a page of my two buddies and me. Love hanging out with them, lots of laugh and enjoyable moments.  This layout is based on the sketch over at Lasting Memories.  I had made paper kits last week with my stash and this was what was in my kit so I stuck to it. I had no idea what I was going to do at first but as I looked at my papers in the kit. I saw this paper with the squares and rectangles and it reminded me of the sketch.   The paper had some distressed look on it so, I went with that.  I n...
