Before sharing my layout today, I want to share with you some exciting news. 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 never anticipated that my page would have the antique or distressed look when I started.  It's just strange how the layout starts out and where it ends up.  So this is my interpretation of the sketch.

I usually have a question for my visitors, please help me by posting a comment below:

QUESTION: Do you have a particular scrapbook style you stick to?  Do you use mixed media or do you stick to traditional scrapbooking.  Are there names for the different styles? I'm fairly new at the scrapbooking so want to learn more from other scrapbookers.  I feel like I am all over the place when I scrapbook.  LOL. 

Thanks for stopping by!

    Beautiful layout, Nancy! Such a fun take on the sketch and it sounds like you had a great scrappy month in February! Congrats! As for your question - I generally stick to clean and simple layouts and I tend to stay away from mixed media - I love it on other people's layouts - just not that great at it myself! Thanks so much for sharing with us at Lasting Memories! -Lori DT

    Your layout is adorable. To answer your question: I'm kind of all over the place. I'm a sucker for a great sketc and have been turning to those lately so it definately has influnced my style but I also have started trying mixed media a bit more.

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

 Hi Everyone, It's been awhile since I have had a chance to scrapbook. It is busy season at work so I have not had time to scrapbook as much as I would have loved to.  I was able to work on two layouts this weekend!   The first layout here is using a Scrap Your Stash sketch.  I played along with the sketch and used the Challenge YOUrself theme to create the layout.  At Challenge YOURself, the theme was "put your best face forward", meaning to show off your best side. To me the best side of me is when I am with my better half.   My kids always say I am the homework mom and dad is the fun dad.  My husband is the one that shows me how to live my life in a most youthful way. I am so thankful that we complement each other.  I do need that balance between being serious and having fun.  So my best face forward is with my husband! Thanks for stopping by!  I am entering the layout to the following challenges: Scrap Our Stash:   May Sketch Challenge Challenge YOUrself:  Challenge #

Hello All, Today I am posting a layout created using the Lasting Memories Challenge LM#584 and Disney Creative Company February Colors of Magic Challenge.  I just love when I have a vision as soon as I see a challenge, it just makes things so much easier!  When I saw the color challenge, I knew right away which photos I had wanted to scrap.  Looking at the Lasting Memories sketch just completed my layout idea. The final touch was when I saw the border on the LM sketch and I thought of the Queen of Hearts like a deck of cards!  This is my final creation!  Thanks for stopping by!  Question for my visitors: Do you scrap based on the colors of a photo to match with the papers you use?  I am entering this layout to the following challenges:  LM #584 Colors of Magic
