The Perfect Day

This was such a fun layout to put together. I was really excited to start using my June MemoryWorks Express kit. There is some really awesome paper in there! I love the little tree!!

Challenges: (they are old ones, but still fun!!!)
Snapdragons- This was a challenge from earlier this month that I didn't get to. The challenge was to scraplift one of the layouts previously created by the Snapdragons design team. This is the layout that I choose to scraplift by Jennifer.

Scrapping the Music- This is another old challenge from the end of May. The title for this layout was inspired by the song "Perfect Day" by Hoku.

Me

Since I'm not in very many photos, I thought I'd do another layout about me!

Challenges:
Itty Bitty Scrap Shack: this layout is based on this sketch-Scrappy Girl Designs: May 3rd challenge- create a layout using this quote "Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself."

Moments to Remember: Janet's May challenge- create a layout of featuring "you".

Snapdragons Challenge Blog: create a layout using 4 of 10 different elements. Elements I picked: stamped image ("Genuine"), Clear element ("Me"), Photo of Me, and Metal (brads on flowers).

Can anyone say challenge queen??? Really I just love trying to tie lots of elements together. I've found that it makes for quicker pages. It's also FUN!!! For this one I had a sketch, journaling, topic, and embellishments! Ready, set, go!!!

The Amazing Race

Do you ever have those moments where you have a layout all planned out in your head, you start putting it together, and it bombs??!! Well, that's what this layout was. After cutting up 2 sheets of beautiful Rusty Pickle paper I decided it just wasn't working out. So, I had to go back to the drawing board and try to salvage some of my patterned paper. Here's what I came up with. I also got to play with some of my new Glimmer Mist on the chipboard numbers. Fun stuff! If you've never heard of this you'll have to check it out. It's like spray paint with glitter!

Of coarse I can't do a layout anymore without a challenge!

Dreamgirls Challenge Blog-Challenge #2: Get Real!--this challenge was to create a layout with the title from a reality show. With the insane number of reality shows out there, this wasn't much of a challenge. Other requirements were to use felt and stamping somewhere in the layout.

Snapdragons Challenge Blog-Challenge #15: Modern Paper Piecing--this was kinda fun. The layout must include some sort of paper piecing. I found this great template for a turtle online and used that to make my turtle. Isn't he cute??

Don't be Fooled....

I know...2 posts in one day??!! What can I say, I'm on a roll! I received my April MemoryWorks Express Kit yesterday and tore right into it! This layout was again combining a couple different challenges into one. It was a really fun one to create.

Snapdragons Challenge #14- Foolin' Around: I just found this site by clicking around different blogs. I thought this challenge sounded really fun. The challenge this month is to create a layout with the word "fool" somewhere in the layout (title or journaling). The title "Don't be fooled" keep popping in my head. Finally this layout came to me!

MemoryWorks April Challenge #3- Write a Recipe: Another challenge from the MemoryWorks consultant message board. For this challenge we were to create a layout with the focus on journaling. I am not typically a big on journaling, so this was a stretch for me.

Sketch This Designer Call: Again, another challenge blog that I stumbled upon while browsing the net. They just happened to be doing a design call and thought I'd give it a whirl. This layout was based on the sketch for the DT call.

Ok, what challenges can I combine for tomorrow???? I'm a sucker for a challenge......hey, at least it gets me thinking and scrappin'!
