Card

Tonight, instead of a layout, I created this card. I am not a card person and it took me a while to finish it. Choosing papers took me the most. I made this card using Card Positioning Systems sketch 121 for Adrienne's My Sentiments Exactly.

Fun Day

I discovered a new scrapping blog called Candy Shoppe Designs over the weekend. I thought it was such a cute name and looked into it. Although their launch will be about 2 months away on 9/1/09, they are having a pre-challenge that is due tomorrow. I picked out these photos last night and scrapped this page tonight. This challenge is to use the sketch provided by Jennifer (something borrowed) as well as to use something new, something old, and something blue. I used Prima flowers for new thing, California patterned paper for old thing, and pearls, Mickey button, ribbon for blue things.

Ingredients: Patterned papers: MME, Basic Grey, Flowers: Prima, Chipboard letters: Doodlebug, Ribbon: American Craft, Journalling spot: K & Co., Pearls: Queen & Co., Buttons: EK Success, and others. About this page: Our dd had her birthday earlier in the month and instead of having a party, we decided to go to Disneyland. They were having 2 for 1 specials for Southern California residents at that time. We went to Disneyland first (st regular admission price) and got free tickets to California Adventures. 2 weeks after we went to Disneyland, we went to California Advantures. These photos were taken at the entrance. That was our first time going to the park and we had such a fun day. Since I am creating multiple pages for this day, I didn't add journaling on this page.

Candy Shoppe Designs

Candy Shoppe Designs is a brand new scrappin blog that will debut on 9/1/09. It says they there will be bi-weekly challenges and sounds like there will be lots of fun to look forward to. They are in search of design team members right now but they are already offering the readers some fun. They are having a pre-challenge till tomorrow. You can leave comments for a chance to win blog candy, too :)

Full House & Play Time

I finished 2 today. The first one was done for Cafe Mojo's tearing challenge. These photos were taken a little over a month after we moved in. We don't live there anymore and I miss it so much. On the second page, I used up some left overs from the pages I created last week or so.

Let's Capture Our Memories

There is a brand new sketch blog. Capture Our Memories just launched a new sketch blog, Capture These Sketches. I love working with sketches. They eliminate a great deal of my frustrations :) They have selected a design team and I can't wait for the first sketch!!

4 Layouts

Here are some pages I created this week. The first one was done based on a sketch from Page Maps. The 2nd one was done last night. This was made inspired by Scrapping the Music's song of the week, "because of you" by Kelly Clarkson. Isn't there another "because of you" ?? Anyway this phrase on my page is what came up to me... a little different from Kelly's song. The last one "grin" was scrapped using a sketch from DUS.
