High Energy - CMS # 72

I seemed to have lost a day...

This was supposed to posted yesterday, but sometimes life gets in the way.

These were some great colors to work with at Color Me Scrappy.  Very fall-ish and muted, which is right up my alley.

Have fun with it!

Thanks for stopping in!

Never Quit - Challenge Yourself #11

Challenge YOUrself did it again.  This month, you REALLY have to CHALLENGE YOURSELF!

I love that with this challenge, really have to think about what you are scrapping.  Finding the picture is the easy part.  Putting together a page with a title that goes along with this theme is a bit more challenging.  I loved every minute of it.

Challenge YOUrself #11: Scrap An Affirmation

Scrap an affirmation that YOU would like to attract into your life.
(Remember to include YOU in the layout)

We also have a great sponsor this month, so be sure to join in on the fun.

Thank You Paper Issues!!

So, here is what I came up with...

I knew I wanted to start with a white BG.  All the arrows are made of a bunch of scraps.  They were not popping the way that I wanted, so I inked them all.

And a few close-ups.

Added a little stitching and some embellies...

Another embellie and some thread on the other side...

Thanks for stopping by!

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!

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!
