Dreams Come True - CMS #71

Check out these great Fall colors from Color Me Scrappy!  And combined with the sketch from Stuck? Sketches...  Let the creative juices flow!



Here is what I came up with...

We purchased a cabin earlier this year and it's a dream.  My husband can ride around on his tractor and make trails all day throughout our 80 acres!  He loves it!

I used my silhouette to cut out the circle with the wood grain.  I've been using it more and more and loving it!

Thanks for stopping by!

Share A Cup - Color Me Scrappy #70

My favorite time of the year.  It's hot chocolate season!!

Granted, I made this cup just for this picture, but when I asked my son if he wanted cocoa, he came running!  Apparently, it's his favorite time of the year too!

These color this month at Color Me Scrappy are scrumptious!  So warm and inviting!  Be sure to take some time, since the kiddos are back in school, and join in on the fun!

I've been searching and searching for a "cup ring" stamp, but have not been successful.  I guess paint on the bottom of my Mike's Hard Lemonade bottle works sufficiently enough! 

;-)

I've had this big ole flower FOREVER.  Using up my stash!

Thanks for stopping by!

Now, fix yourself a cup of cocoa and join in on the challenge!

Cool - CMS #69

I love these colors this time around at Color Me Scrappy.  Maybe because they are deep.  I struggle with pastels, so this is a nice change.

My page doesn't necessarily go along with the "Back to School" theme, but the colors are there...

We were at Epcot here in China.  I wanted to capture the tile work that existed on the walls and ceiling, but of course, my camera wouldn't allow for such an angle.  So, I took 2 separate pictures and pieced them together.

Thanks for stopping by!

Amazing - Challenge Yourself

I loved, loved, loved this challenge at Challenge YOUrself.

Challenge #9: Celebrate YOUr Age

  Scrap your age, right now, today!

{remember to include YOU in the photo}

Isn't it challenging enough to have to include yourself in the layout, but now we have to include your age...  really?  My tip for you, just go for it!

To be honest, I didn't know exaclty how I wanted to go about this challenge, so I sat on it for a month or so.  Then, last weekend, as I was scrapping with my friend Pam, an idea popped in and I just ran with it!

Here is what I came up with...

I love all the colors.  It makes it feel like a happy page.

Just the facts!

This was the hardest part of the page.  This is chipboard covered with paper.  The skinny parts are very flimsy and they just wanted to come apart so easily.  Filing the nooks and crannies took FOREVER!

Just another close-up!

Hope you enjoy it and find some inspiration.

Thanks for stopping by.

XOXOXO - Color Me Scrappy

Excuse me, but if someone could please help me find my mojo, I'd greatly appreciate it!

I'm not sure if it's summer or because we didn't travel anywhere exciting...  We've made multiple trips to the cabin, but that will be a before and after type album when we finally finish it.

You should check out the color challenge at Color Me Scrappy.



These colors are great, but to be honest, it was the picture that drew me in!  Ha!  A yummy margarita!  Maybe that will help with my lack of mojo!

CMS also has a great prize that is up for grabs this month. Definatley worth it!

You heard me right, so stop over and get your scrappy on!

Discover Michigan - Challenge Yourself

This was a great color palette to work with at Challenge YOUrself!.  To be honest, on my first look at it, I thought "YIKES".  All I could focus on was that lavender.  Lisa doesn't do lavender!

After I took a minute to breath, I started to focus more on the red and teal...  I also noticed how the photo was very soft and airy, so I thought that would be look I'm going for.

As a result, I came up with the following page!

This photo was taken on the shores of Lake Erie.  My mother-in-law rode our bikes across Michigan during the summer of 2013.

It was an awesome journey!  I saw parts of Michigan I've never seen and probably will never be able to find again!

Thanks for stopping by and leaving some love.

Wishes & Dreams - CMS # 64

Check out the latest challenge at Color Me Scrappy.  The twist this time around is to use a floral patterned paper.  Mine is a bit on the minimal side...

This color combo really reminded me of fall, but since it's June here in Michigan, I decided to go a different route.

This was in Toronto last summer.  Sawyer has a dream to see The Great Wall of China.  As we were walking the streets of Toronto, we came across this shop.

Needless to say, we got a bit of a laugh!

Thanks for stopping by.
