LOAD Day 1

Hello Friends!

I have decided to do the LOAD (Layout A Day) challenge over at Scraphappy during the month of February.  (LOAD219)

Here is Day 1.  

Everyday we are given two prompts and this prompt was to scrap a Dream Come True and/or use rainbow colors on your layout.  I scrapped a Dream Come True.  I actually started off doing a rainbow page but didn't really like the direction it was going so changed over to using the Dream Come True prompt.

I always wanted to be a mother and it is a dream come true to have these 5 beautiful children!

I like how the page came out and I'm excited to be doing the LOAD219 challenge.  I hope I get all 28 pages done this month.  I've done day 1 and 2 already (it's day 2 right now) and the day 3 prompt will show up at 9pm PST tonight.  I can't wait to see what it is!!

I'll share the layout I made for day 2 tomorrow.  Hope to see you here for that.

Until next time...happy scrapping!

Best Present Ever!

Hi guys!

Welcome back to the blog!  Look at me blogging again!!  (smile)  I was at a crop last weekend and made 16 layouts.  I'm not the fastest scrapper but I was feeling pretty good about that number.  I actually made myself a bunch of kits with paper, embellishments, photos and sketches!  So that made it much easier to get this much done.

Here is one I made using a Laura Whitaker sketch.  I love her sketches!!  

The layout is about my dog, Frannie, that I got for Christmas in 2017.  She is such a sweet, loving dog.  She has these big ears and she literally hops across our yard.  We should have named her Bunny!! lol  She's the BEST PRESENT EVER!!  I tell her that all the time!

I think this Bo Bunny Collection with bunnies on it was just the most perfect paper!

I hope you like it too!

Thanks for coming by here today.  Until next time...happy scrapping!

The ScrapRoom February Jump Start Challenge

Hello everyone!

I'm back!  I told you I was planning to post more...  Today I have made a layout, well I didn't make it today, I made it last weekend but I'm posting it today.  Anyway, I was inspired by the February Jump Start Sketch over at The ScrapRoom.  I LOVE my kits I get from the ScrapRoom and the fun challenges over there too!!  

The inspiration was a sketch challenge.  Look at this beauty by Rochelle Spears!

Here is my layout:

This is a photo of my son and one of our dogs driving to Oklahoma from Nevada.  I don't use a lot of travel themed patterned paper so it was nice to use this fun collection.

You should go check out the fun challenges at The ScrapRoom.  You don't have to be a kit subscriber to participate but the kits are yummy and affordable so take a look while you are there! (wink, wink)

Thanks for dropping in to see me today.  Until next time...happy scrapping!

Saturday Morning Cartoon - Scrap Our Stash

Hello guys!

I've been scrapping a lot lately and am going to try to post them on my blog more regularly....what??  lol  I know.  That sounds like crazy talk right?  Well, here goes...

I made a layout using the Saturday Morning Cartoon Inspired Stash Challenge at Scrap Our Stash.  That's quite a mouthful, isn't it?  It has a long name and it's fun challenge. 

I was required to be inspired by the Popeye and Olivia cartoon and use the sketch and I needed to either use heart paper or use 3 hearts on my layout.  I used heart paper and was inspired by the "love" I saw in the cartoon.

Here is a layout of me and my sweet, Christmas present, Frannie, giving me a smooch.

The photo of the layout is a bit wacky.  It looks like I didn't crop the bottom very well but there is a piece of washi tape down there that sort of fades away but looks good in real life.

Anyhoo, here you go.  Layout posted!  Prepare for more because I am doing the LOAD219 Challenge   at Scraphappy and my plan is to try to do a layout a day for the whole month of February!  2 down!  And this isn't even one of them!

Thanks for visiting today.  Hope to see you here again soon.  If you have a chance, I would love for you to check out my Scrappy Friends Challenge this month and maybe play along!  There is a fab prize for a randomly drawn winner!!

Until next time...happy scrapping!
