Crafty Pastime

Last minute layout to get in before January ends.  I created this layout for the Rochelle Spears Sketch Challenge and the Scrap with Stacy Tic Tac Toe Challenge .   I used Banner, Date Stamp and Twine on my layout for the Tic Tac Toe Challenge.   

I created this layout for the challenge over at Rochelle Spears and Scrap with Stacy blogs. The inspiration for my layout is Bob Ross! Found the perfect Vicki Boutin ephemeras and a light bulb just turned on. Of course the vision in my head and the reality was slightly different. The layout took longer than I expected because I had no idea how to work the water colors but this is the best that I can do.   Thanks for stopping by!    Entering this layout to the following challenges: Rochelle Spears - Sketch Challenge Scrap with Stacy - I used square photos, I used a ticket punch for the fortune from the fortune cookie, I used stitching in my layout. 

Hi, thanks for stopping by, it's been awhile since I have updated my blog.  I was able to get some scrapbooking time in this weekend.  Today's layout is created for Challenge YOUrself blog #107. This month's challenge is to show some handwritten journaling. It was a bit of challenge I don't like my handwriting. LOL.  I didn't have much time to create the layout because October had been a very busy month but it came together fairly quickly.  I think it was because even though I didn't have much time to work on it, I was envisioning it in my head.  I took some inspiration from a magazine I saw awhile back.  The first photo is my inspiration, I wanted to create a tear across effect as if you are unfolding a secret word. I attempted to do that with my title.   In case you cannot read my handwriting, the photo was from an orienteering event with my son's Boy Scout troop.  My son needed to attend the even to complete his requirement for Boy Scout,...

I have been itching to scrapbook this entire month but with the move, I was not able to.  Finally got some time today to complete a layout for a Challenge!   I am entering this layout to Scrap with Stacy I used two photos, numbers and patterned paper with words on it. 

 Hi Everyone!  Today's layout is a for a photo of my daughter and her team at a twirling competition.  Here they are at the North East Regionals!  They did an awesome job, so proud of my daughter for persisting to do what she loves!

For this layout I used a sketch from Rochelle Spears: I have entered this layout to the following challenges: Rochelle Spears Scrap with Stacy's Tic Tac Toe Challenge - I used Twine, Two Photos and Frame Scrap Your Stash - S- Sketch (Rochelle Spears) C - Chipboard (pink Heart on the "Real Life Right Now banner) R- Red color A- Adhesive P- Paper Clip (thumbs up clip)

Hi All, thanks for stopping by!  Today's layout is created for the Challenge YOUrself challenge #102 and the challenge was to use a mood board.  The mood was a beachy vibe and it reminded me of a girl's trip to Cancun. The layout was simple, just grabbed a bunch of travel embellishments and lined my page and it all just came together!  This was super easy, everyone should give it a try! Join us over at Challenge YOUrself for  some fun!   

 This is another layout made this past weekend. Super quick to put together thanks to the awesome sketch from the Scrap Our Stash Challenge ! I was looking forward to scrapping some more this weekend but it looks like I may not have time.  =(     Here in this photo my husband who is super excited to be with his nephew!  For the challenge I added some stamping on the page, not very good at stamping or mixed media so I keep it at a minimal.  Will be more adventurous hopefully this summer! I am also entering this layout to the Lasting Memories Challenge and the challenge is "Something Blue".  I have used different hues of blue in my layout.  Thanks for stopping by, please drop me a comment!
