Stunning - Creative Scrappers

I just fell in love with this sketch from Creative Scrappers.

To be honest, I haven't participated in many challenges lately.  Basically, I've been just performing my DT duties and of course, running Color Me Scrappy.  But now that I've given up the reigns at CMS, I am going to have more time to create the pages I want to create.

Life is pretty busy right now.  We just bought a fixer upper cabin, so the DIY projects there alone will keep me busy too.  If you would like to follow along on our cabin re-do, I'm blogging about that to.  You can find the blog HERE.

Now, onto my page for Creative Scrappers.

Ok, so the first thing I'd like to mention is that my sewing machine was being very temperamental on this day!  It kept knotting up on me and just would not sew, so I just doodled the black frame around the page.  Not my ideal way to do it, but sometimes you just have to improvise. 

Sometimes, I struggle with randomness.  I'm more of a uniform type of person, so for me to "randomly" place bling and stars is a stretch.  I'm never happy with this!

Well, thanks for stopping by!

Commuter Train - Creative Scrappers #262

I have the afternoon to scrapbook!  I'm excited for this time to be creative, even though I keep getting interrupted by my 2 boys who are home from school today.  I guess I'll take it when I can get it.

As I was browsing the challenge sites I normally visit, I came to Creative Scrappers.  They have an interesting sketch this time around.  It is below...

I loved the chevrons, so I kind of went for it.  I'm working on an album from our trip to Chicago and I didn't have 3 pictures I wanted to put on the same page, so I simplified it and only used one.

I also added a few other strips of paper instead of only the chevrons.  That's what I like about scrapbooking.  There really is no right or wrong way and hey, even if there was, I'm a rule breaker...always have been!

Anyway, here is my take on the sketch...

The BG and the chevron pieces came from Echo Park "Brothers" line.

Thanks for stopping by!
