Nothing Can Seperate Us

I love this picture.  I had it printed in 5x7 and then have held it not knowing what to do with it, until today...

This day was an important day in motherhood for me.  It was the first day that I took an all day outing with my boys without my husband.  And when I say, all day outing, I mean exactly that.  I think I was feeling a little brave that day because I took them to an amusement park.  It really was a test for both the boys AND for me!  We passed.

Anyway, inspiration for this page came from multiple sources.

• Sketch # 17 by Get Picky
• Inspiration by Scrapbookers Anonymouse
• Color by Color Comos Galore

The page came together much easier than my last.  I need to stop second guessing myself and just go with it.

Thanks for stopping

Dreamy Destination

Oh how I struggled with this challenge.  I combined 2 challenges in one and I struggled with both the sketch and the inspiration.

The sketch came from Stuck! Sketches and the inspiration from Scrapbookers Anonymous, both fabulous sites in their own right!

Scrapbookers Anonymouse wanted us to use mist, paint, or ink and masking...  well, I used all three mediums.  The background was first painted with copper stars, but when I put my pic on, the stars were to overpowering.  Next, I misted a template on top of those (which you can't really pick up in the photo).  That just wasn't enough, so I then used black ink to dull the stars.  The result...

Oh, and I just noticed my Nikon strap is hanging in 2 of my pics.  Oops...  it's been one of those days!

Enjoy

Remember our Day at Sea

Wow!  I need to pat myself on the back.  Two pages in just as many days.  Look out, I'm on a roll now!

The inspiration this time came from White With 1 and Bird is the Word.  This may be against the rules for WW1, but I had to add just a splash of color with the turquoise embellie.  It was too perfect not to put on there and I'm currently on a kick for using up old stuff.

Thanks for stopping and have a joyous day!

Joyful Memories

Wow, it's been a while since I've posted anything here.  I needed a much deserved break.  I haven't really scrapped since early November.  I went on a wonderful weekend with a couple girlfriends and managed quite a few pages.  When time allows, I will photograph and post them.

This page was inspired by Sketch #191 from Creative Scrappers as well as color and title inspiration from 123 Challenge.

I was surprised at how quickly this page came together.  I guess scrapbooking is a lot like riding a bike, you just never forget.

Boys will be Boys

Another... this sketch and stitching was the inspiration.


In mine, I had to rotate it.  Another one that I am completely pleased with.  I like that I can use some of my old supplies and mix it with some new finds and create this.  I guess that is why my scrapbooking room looks the way it does.  I refuse to get rid of something...  I might need it to make a fabulous LO!

Comments always appreciated!

Here's another from MS&M...  this sketch-a-thon is almost complete...

We had to use this sketch in addition to paint or mist.



Now, this one I'm in love with.  I love the way it turned out.  If I am to change anything, I might go back and add some journaling.

Thanks for stopping by!

Ok, if you've been following me, you know by now that I'm doing a sketch-a-thon at My Scraps & More, so here's another one.
