Priceless

There is a new challenge blog. It's called Ad This. You will create a layout based on an ad. Sounded like a fun challenge and I jumped right on it.

I'm a famer!!

I got 15 minutes of fame over at UnPubbed :) I am so excited to be a famer there. I love the styles of DTs and it is a great place to get inspired. Scraplifting is a wonderful way to create a page. You take an already pretty someone's layout and make it your own. Tonight I scrapped another simple layout. This cardstock was already out. I mean I got it out of the drawer a few days ago. In my scrap pile were these L shaped papers. I cut 2 'L's from inside of big 'L'. I did this on 2 different papers. Even some letters came from my scraps. When I cut out letters and if I don't use them because the colors don't match, I keep them. As I mentioned before these photos were in the old album and were already cropped this way. I with I kept them in the original size....This is for the song of the week on Scrapping the Music.

Grateful

Here is a simple page I scrapped tonight. I did it for Stash Diet. As it has been, the papers were the scraps.

Joy

We took this photo when we went to "breakfast with Minnie" in holiday season. The restaurant was decorated with Christmas stuff and we had a breakfast in festive atmosphere. Minnie and her friends came to our table to say hi. She didn't know what to think of all this at first. But by the time we were through eating, she gave a big hug to Daisy. The current challenge on Method Playground is paper pleating. Beside the strip above the photo and 2 corners, the flowers were also made by pleating paper strips. Also all the papers other than the blue cardstock are all from scrap pile:)

Always Fun

This layout came together fairly quickly. I wish every page is like that. This was done based on 52 Sketches...52 Weeks #44. I started participating Julie's weekly sketch challenge from sketch #4. I was just thinking maybe I would go check sketches #1 to 3. No promises, I was just thinking. And I am excited to say " I'm a winner!" I won on Vanessa's lift hosted by Unpubbed. I really like the DTs' styles there and it's a great place to visit for inspiration.

Halloween & Zoo layouts

I did these 2 layouts based on a same sketch, Pink Sketch #12. I did Halloween one first. I had such a hard time picking papers and this turned out kind of disaster. Matching scraps on this one was hard.... So I decided to try on another layout. 2nd one turned out not much better. But I like the paper combination used for the horizontal band below the photos.

2 layouts

I totally forgot to post these yesterday. I finished 2 layouts yesterday. The top one is a lift of Vanessa's pretty layout on Unpubbed. The bottom one is done with Rough Draft sketch #4. The pink princess paper I used for jounalling was found at the bottom of my scrap box. These photos were taken at a park nearby. It's a big park with a pond, picnic area, etc. I wish we went more often to this playground area. A little piece of red ribbon on the second layout is a left over from the first one. I used this ribbon all up now. I have started on the next layout this morning. But matching scrap papers is getting harder....
