Winter LO

I've been doing scrapbook LO's for the past couple of days.  I planned to scrap 2011 as it happened.  HA!  I just finished February! 

This is a snow LO.  We had so much snow last winter!!  (And sadly, hardly any this year! Sob!)  I'm beginning to learn my camera a little more so I hope this winter's pics will be better, but no matter how bad the pic, I think snow is beautiful!!!

I'm submitting this to Sketchy Thursdays challenge.  I like this sketch.  I actually did a couple of other pages with it, but they include people that I've not asked for permission to post their faces on my blog, so they'll just go right into the scrapbook.

"splash" LO

I don't have a lot of water pics for this year yet, so I went looking through my pics from last year.  In July '10, we celebrated my parents 50th anniversary with a week of family activities.  We started with a couple of days at their cottage.  It was sooooo much fun!!!  Swimming, boating, food, fun, and unfortunately, sunburn!   Last fall, I got my pics printed from that week, but I didn't do much with them then.  This has me inspired to get at them and make a scrapbook for that special time!

These pics fit the sketch from Sketchy Thursdays this week and a water theme fit the criteria over at Fantabulous Cricut.   I'm submitting this to Getting Cricky with K Andrew's summer fun challenge, too.

(All the colors look a little 'dull' in the pic.  They are much better IRL!)

Red, White, and Blue LO's

We always have a picnic at our house on July 4th and invite our whole church family.  It is so much fun and I love to scrap the pics (when I remember to bring the camera out!!)!

This year, I am trying to scrap our year as we go.  I'm a little behind in that but these pages will help... they are for July 4th so all I need to do is put the pics in after that day.  

Challenges...

Fantabulous Cricut - use red, white, and blue

Celebrate the Occasion - July 4th: use red, white, and blue

Sketchy Thursdays - sketch (I did both pages of the sketch)

Bible Charade fun LO

Even though I am trying to keep up with this year's events in my scrapping, I am still working on January.  One Sunday night, we had a teen afterglow at our house and played Bible Charades... teens vs. parents.  

I forgot to put my camera on the sport setting, so some of the pics aren't totally in focus, but we had so much fun that I wanted to do a LO anyway.  I followed the sketch from and am submitting this to Sketchy Thursdays.

I used Colorbok paper for the background, Bazzill for the mats, and some Bible words paper I've had awhile.  "Bible Charades" is Sybil Green font and shadowed in MTC.  Flowers are from some scrap paper that matched.

And just in case you can't read it... the last journal tag says "Parents won!!!!!"  :-D

Christmas cards in Feb??? Yep!

Sketchy Thursdays has a Second Chance challenge with Jingle Belles.  The idea is to make one card each week, so when Christmas comes, we're ready!!  Sounded fun to me!!

This first one is for the challenge....

It includes MS cardstock, DCWV Christmas premium paper, a border cut made in MTC, scallop and circles cut in MTC, a little stamp I found in a Crafts 2000 discount bin, and some ribbon.

 ~~~~~~~~~

 Then I just kept messing around and tried some other paper.  The colors of this really do match, but my lighting obviously was not the best! 

Thanks for looking!!!

A scrapbook LO for a change! :D

I have not scrapped for several months but am determined to scrap this year as it happens.  I'm a little behind since it is Feb and I only have 3 pgs done, but that's better than nothing, isn't it?!? :D

This LO was inspired by Sketchy Thursday.

What I used:
*Basic Grey granola paper
*DCWV cardstock
*Shape and photo corners cut in MTC
*Musicals font cut in MTC
*pre-made label and ribbon from my stash
