A couple of LOs and a card to share!

I've been participating in the Glee Club challenge over at Soul Scrappers.  So far the challenges have been to create a LO based on Classic Rock for Week 1 challenge where we had to use a Beatles' title and have a feel of the 60s in your LO.  This week is alternative rock and you had to build your LO around a Train title with a funky or grunge feeling to it.  There are also mini challenges and this is where my card comes in.  Please visit Soul Scrappers and join in on the fun the DT has cooked up for you!

The above is based on the Beatles song, Ain't she Sweet.  In keeping with the feel of the 60s, I created the patchwork which is reminiscent of the patchwork skirts worn by women at that time.  Temple was trying on these hats at her favorite store, Justice, which looked pretty retro to me and I thought would work well for this challenge.

 The above is the mini challenge based on the above Beatles challenge where you had to make a card and incorporate some part of the title you used in the main challenge, and it was an easy choice to use Sweetness as it's a nickname that I already called Temple.

The above is based on this week's challenge which is Alternative Rock and you had to choose a song by the Rock Band, Train which happens to be one of my favorite bands.  I chose their song, Ordinary and there's a line in the song that says, "I'm anything but Ordinary," and it was the perfect title for me to use for this LO of Temple!  She recently earned her 1st qtr Academic Excellence award at school, which she has earned every qtr for the last 2 yrs (she's in 2nd grade)!  The big surprise though was she also earned the Principle's Award for best all around student!  Needless to say, she was totally thrilled and we were bursting with pride which is what I expressed in my journaling above.  So I named this LO, You're anything but Ordinary which this proud mommy feels for this child!

So, please visit Soul Scrappers and join in on the fun!

Happy Scrapping!

Saturday LOs!

I just posted a LO at Soul Scrappers where the challenge was to use a B&W photo.  Since I love B&W photos, this was not a hard challenge:

I also scrapped a LO from a sketch that I got at Scrapbook etc.'s website.

I've been digging the 8 1/2 x 11 LOs lately, and I plan to do more--I think they're cool even though it still takes me as long to do this size as it does the 12x12!

Have a Blessed Evening!

A Couple of LOs

Here are a couple of LOs I posted over at Soul Scrappers--the Challenge was to create a LO of Fall.

I created the above LO with October Kit from SEI.  I love everything in this kit!

I used Stampin' Up PPs and PP scraps from my stash to create the above.

Have a Blessed Evening!

Bossom Buddies

Hello All!  I hope you are having a wonderful evening.  I've once again joined in on a challenge over at Soul Scrappers.  It was a color challenge to use blue, brown and off-white in your project.  I did this LO of Charles and Temple when we were down in Daytona Beach this summer.

You see, you can get away with adding flowers to a LO with a picture of a man! 

Ah, to be so carefree as my Girl! It only comes with childhood!!!

Happy Scrapping!

Walk

I participated in Soul Scrappers, Soul Quest Challenge.  Each entrant was mailed the same embellies to use in a LO which had to be based on this quote, "If we are facing in the right direction, all we have to do is keep on walking."

I managed to use all of the embellies in this LO.  Of course I didn't take a pic of the goodies before I used them, but a few of them were the arrows, the stamped boots, the word stickers, acrylic beads, brads, and that little tag that I stamped the leaf on.  I took that photo from our hotel balcony when we were down in Daytona Beach this summer, and I thought it would work well with this LO's theme.  The little flowers that started out yellow and then were shimmerzed and misted by me, came in the goodie package and so did the yellow and brown ribbon.

Here are some close-ups:

Well, my eyelids are getting very heavy, so I'll say goodnight to you, and as always, Happy Scrapping!

Summertime - Epcot

I was introduced to a scrapping website called Soul Scrappers.  It's a cool site with scrappy challenges.  I decided to do their sketch challenge #18.  I decided to do a Disney page since we went to Disney World several times this summer and I had not yet scrapped a LO.  Here is my LO:

This page is soooo bright and happy--just like Disney World!

Here are some closeups:

When you have a moment why don't you pay Soul Scrappers a visit!

Happy Scrapping!
