<br />
Oh my, am I glad to have school starting this week. My summer has been a bit insane! I know, I know, I say this every summer, but this summer, I'm really telling the truth.<br />
<br />
On multiple occasions, I've used my house as a laundromat. Literally, coming home one night, washing what is needed and leaving the next morning.<br />
<br />
As I look back at my summer calendar, I left in mid July and for 2 months straight, I've been on the road or at our cabin. Maybe I should print and actually scrapbook the calendar itself because it truly is a memory!<br />
<br />
Anyway, I missed last months Challenge Yourself challenge because I was out of town and just could not get a page done, but we had many great participants! Great job ladies.<br />
<br />
This month's challenge is a sketch. A sketch with layers, my favorite!<br />
<br />

On this challenge, I started with my BG. And to be honest, I changed it 4 times. I wasn't happy with my choices, maybe because they were too bold. I settled for this muted wood grain. Don't ask me what line it is from... I don't know. I don't organize my paper by manufacturer.</div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I knew that I wanted some texture on this page, so I started with modeling paste and a stencil. As that was drying, I searched for what colors I wanted to play with and came up with this teal/yellow combo and loved it. I knew the photo would pop off the page against it.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Started with a little bit of misting and then started layering the scraps over it until I was pleased with the look.</span></div>

Are you kidding me? Well, waiting for it to warm up to get outside I thought I'd scrap a page... got to keep that mojo flowing! I have a hard time scrapping during the summer, just because the nice months are so limited here in Michigan. But, I'm committed to our sport. LOL</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I was really drawn to the BG paper. The big gray and white stripes yelled to me. Then, I was flipping through a new paper pack I found at Michael's, the sunburst was screaming too. I thought maybe I should just combine the two.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Let's continue on with the pages that I completed on my scrap weekend a few weeks back.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> If you've noticed, I do not scrap in chronological order? Do you?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I think it all depends on what inspires me at the time. Sometimes, I first dig through my scraps box and find a color combination that I want to work with. There has been times I've designed pages with no picture in mind figuring I would find the perfect match later.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As a matter of fact, I attended an crop for an entire weekend with NO pictures. I forgot them at home. Most of the pages that were completed that weekend mainly consisted of only 1 photo.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It was difficult, but not impossible. And to be honest, once I got over the shock of not having photos, it was downright fun. Everyone should give it a try!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As for these pages, I had photos...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This was last summer. My brother has a powerboat and belongs to LEOPA (Lake Erie Offshore Performance Association). Each year, they have a poker run on there boats... It's truly quite amazing to see that many boats literally fly (at times) across the lake. And yes, we really went 90 MPH on the water! Yikes!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I knew I wanted to do a strip of embellies up the page and last time I tried this, I was not thrilled with the outcome. This one on the other hand turned out better. Also, go me! I used pink!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Sometimes, you just can't love ALL of your pages... which is the case with this next one. We traveled to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan last summer. I hadn't been there since my college days over 20 years ago. We used to cliff dive into Lake Superior and I wanted to show my son where we used to do that (if I could remember how to get there). You never know what the weather will give you in Michigan, so be prepared for anything. Middle of July and the temperature of the lake was 46 degrees and the wind was whipping like it was a blizzard.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">My youngest son, Sawyer, is quite adventurous. He is game for anything you through at him. Looking at this, I wish I had lightened up the photo before scrapping it. Sometimes, you just have to glue it and move on.</span></div>

I was super excited to host my first Girls' Weekend at our new cabin. We've been working on it for a year now trying to get it ready for guests... since it was vacant for 20 years when we bought it, there was a TON to do. If you are interested in seeing what we've done, you can check out my other blog of the before and afters at <a href="http://styleforyourhome.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Style for Your Home</a>. I know that I need to update that blog too, so that will be next... LOL<br />
<br />
Anyway, I managed 27 pages over the weekend, so I took a few snapshots of them and will be posting them throughout the week, so sit back and enjoy my labor of love!<br />

This photo is of our old dog, Dakota. We had to put him down some time ago, but I'm slowly working on an album of him. It makes my sad, so I can only do a page every so often. His is missed so much my our family. Here, he is hiking with us through the Smokey Mountains in Tennessee.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Not only is the dog old, but the BG paper must be close to vintage. My paper supply is ridiculous. I think I have a hoarding problem with paper. Just saying... I thought it fit perfectly for this page.</div>

To add a little dimension, I added the wood chippies, the corrugated clouds, and the frame over the picture. You can't tell, but I used liquid glass on some of the dots on the BG.</div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Oooh, how I love me some color challenges... until I saw PINK... I'll be the first to admit that I am not a pink kinda girl, but I really loved taking part in the challenge. I love the deep, saturated colors in this challenge. It was muted and full of pastels. (Which, BTW, I have very few of.)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I'll be the first to admit, the BG paper looks a little crazy on my computer screen. Don't stare at it too long, it will appear to be moving on you. Yikes! It's really not that bad in person! LOL.

After choosing my photo, I searched for a BG paper. That's usually my jumping off point. My next stop is my paper scraps bin. I'm not one to waste, so I have bits and pieces of paper that I would almost consider vintage... you never know when they could come into play.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My husband and I had only been dating a month when our first Christmas rolled around... what do you get someone when the relationship is so new? I don't remember what I got him, but he bought be a beautiful crystal dove ornament. I treasure this gift and it is the FIRST ornament that goes on the tree every year. We've added to the tradition by getting a "Baby's First Christmas" ornament for each of my boys and these are the 2nd and 3rd ornaments to go on the tree.

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">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.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">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!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">This was a great color palette to work with at <a href="http://scrap-challenge-yourself.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank">Challenge YOUrself</a>!. 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!</span></div>

The twist this time around is to use a floral patterned paper. Mine is a bit on the minimal side...<br />
<br />
This color combo really reminded me of fall, but since it's June here in Michigan, I decided to go a different route.<br />

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.</div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Since June contains Father's Day, I thought I would create a layout with my dad in it. This is one of my favorite photos of us together. We were at Kentucky Speedway not too long after my mom passed away. He came to visit us at our new house and my boys were thrilled!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I used quite a bit of scraps on this LO. It's kind of fun to look for pieces of papers that you don't have to trim or modify in any way. For example, the star (which is really 1/2 a star) was just buried in the bottom of my scrap box... same with the orange strip.</span></div>
