Rockband!

So, I have challenged myself to try and keep up with my 2010 scrapbooking. So far I haven't done too bad. Here is a quick and easy swap layout. I changed a few things, added the chipboard circle and added the photos.... took all of about 10 minutes.. most of the time looking for the chipboard that I knew I had just didn't know where!

These are from my darling teenager's thirteenth sleep over party!

Smores!!

Who doesn't love S'Mores when you are camping?!?

Used some more of the 1000s of LOTWS that I have.. for the title of this one.

Doing this layout really made me want to go camping. While I was working on it my DH walked in and I made him set a date when we are going.... come on August! :)

Carsyn at the Pumpkin Patch

Here is another border set I received in a swap. This was created by Natalie (SCS: mysweetsix).

It was perfect for some of Carsyn's 2009 pumpkin patch pictures.

CCBG Challenge #20

Here is my entry into my blog groups challenge.

We were challenged to go green.

Here are the rules:
Are you "green with envy"?
Do you Reduce, Reuse, Recycle?
Or maybe, you have "the Luck o'the Irish"?
The specifics of this challenge are simple: show us how you go green!

I chose the "Recycle" aspect of the challenge. The ribbon I used came off a gift set I received a couple of years ago. I was even saving ribbon BEFORE I started scrapbooking!



As most of the elements of this card came from a card kit... here's what I know that I used..

Image - Geisha Anya .... coloured with my Bic Mark-Its
The orange DP is Stampin Up - don't know the specific colour name tho.
The yellow card base is Coredinations
All of the embellishments were from my stash.

Entered in the following challenges:
Mojo Monday - Sketch
Lexi's Creations - Anything Goes
Your Next Stamp Challenges - Spring Colours

Brayden at the Pumpkin Patch

These pics are from our visit to the pumpkin patch in 2009. It is always such a fun day!

The border set came from a swap. I only used one of the borders, but I think it works. If you made this border set, let me know so I can give you credit.

Yet another Snow Day Layout

So... can you tell what I've been working on?!? Haha... hope you aren't too bored of all my snowy pictures!

These page came from a swap, but I totally changed it around. The embellishment didn't work for this page, so I used my UnDu... have I mentioned how much I LOVE this stuff... took the embelly off, saved it for another layout and added pretty much all of my own stuff. The only thing that was left of the original page was the strip of patterned paper across the middle. I added the journal box, photo mats and the little deco squares came from a swap from a group that I'm no longer in.

I love how this turned out!




Same pictures.. different swap layout!
