Scrappy Weekend

I had another fabulous scrappy weekend on Saturday. The guys decided to go to the poker room and left us to do our own thing...... so what did we do, we scrapped!!!! I'm so excited since I scrapped my first sketch layout for Creative Scrappers!!! Stay tuned for the Big new DT reveal on September 1st!! I can't do any sneak peeks just yet, but soon!!!

Had to do this sketch.....

I really thought I needed to do this one. I used Abby's pictures from the first day of school this year. I really like the way it turned out even though the picture turned out a little blurry. :( It's raining with the possiblilty of Tropical Storm Fay hitting us tonight and I had to do all my pics outside on the porch! Yuk!! Check out all the sketches on the Creative Scrappers forum. This is sketch 13 by Becky Fleck.

Layouts I completed this weekend

Only 2 but better than none, right? Actually I get a lot of layouts that don't get finished when I start them. Is that common?? This one took a month to get a title for!!! And the second took 15 hours!!! WTH?? So sad.

Remember... Thank you to a friend

This past Saturday night I spent the last night of cropping with a very special ;) friend of mine. She left Monday night on a 700 mile move to West Virginia.

Saturday evening when 3 of us were spending some crop time, all of her scrapstuff was packed away... :( but she really wanted to scrap. So I handed over my stash of papers and said have at it. She scrapped this page for me..... she even took the photo back in February at a Valentines party! Now I will always have something in my scrapbook to remember her by.....

I made it!!

WOOHOO!! I was chosen to be one of the DT members over at Creative Scrappers!! I am so excited! It is a wonderful opportunity to work with some truely talented ladies! I can't wait to get started! You should go on over to their site, check out everything they have to offer! I'm sure you will be impressed!

Here are the layouts that I submitted for this DT call. I'm very impressed with them and just love how they all turned out!

******Still reeling from the excitement****** :)

Gettin' Sketchy Challenge Entry

So I have stepped into the world of contests and challenges. I visited a blog by Gettin' Sketchy and my '1,825 days' layout is my version of the sketch they provided. These pictures were taken at the reception following my vow renewal on mine & my hubby's 5th anniversary. I am very excited as this is my first ever challenge or contest entry!! Wish me luck! Below is the sketch they provided.
