When the weather is bad....

...all you can do it scrap! :D I prepared way too many kits last week when I went to that crop. So now I'm on a roll to get them done.

SJ kit - Blur

Used photos of the day our sweet little Elizabeth Nicole was born. I LOVED the rub-ons inthis kit. They were fun to add just the right touch.

SJ kit - Westminster

From Disneyland when we discovered our new favorite snack. The BEST chocolate chips cookies EVER!!!

SJ kit - Jubilee

These are pre-packing and on the plane pics. You'd think we were a bit excited on the plane?!

I Went to an "official" crop!

I've NEVER been to a crop at a store before. Oh, sure I've got together with friends at homes and church but not at a scrapbook store. So my friend Diane and I drove down to Everett and scrapbooked from 4:00 pm - 9:30pm. The crop went longer but with the long drive we knew we needed to leave early. We had a BLAST!!

Here's what I finished that night (a 3rd one needs to be finished)

ScrapJammies Kit - Silver Lining

ScrapJammies Kit - Photographie

This one I finished the night before since I was gathering kits and "needed" to do it at home since there was painting involved.

ScrapJammies Kit - Never Forget

I also got to meet my ScrapJammies mb friend Bev in person. She's such a sweetie!! We all had too much fun.

Entry #3

Here's the layout I completed for the challenge I'm in over at Scrappy Arts. I'm getting my entry in a bit late (blame it on that stupid migraine) so I'm not up for winning anything. But here's the challenge guidelines:

Create a paper layout (8 X 8 or larger) with a topic of "FOOD."

Your favorite foods to cook, your family's favorite foods, restaurants you've visited, food in foreign countries, horrible food experiences, family recipes, etc. The choice is yours!! Your layout MUST also include these elements that are made from the letters of the word "City"

C- chipboard (my arrows)

I- ink (around the outside edge of the paper and tag)

T- tag (yep!)

Y- your favorite embellishment-- be sure to identify it and tell us WHY it's your favorite! (The "bling" heart and the brads. Just LOVE 'em)

And here are your race challenges:

Use a picture of food! (5 points) - The heart cookies & pizza

Use one or more arrows (5 points) - 2 of them

Use the name of a type of food in your title (not the word "food") (10 points) - "Treats"

Use paint on your layout (10 points) - nope
