One color layout challenge

This challenge was to make a complete layout with only one color! I chose grey for these cute pictures I had. I had grey ribbon & buttons & some paper that I covered the chipboard swirls with. Then I put grey chalk onto white silk flowers & onto white lace. So it is all one color. Then I printed my title in grey onto vellum.

I just love the pictures of my now 6 yr. old. The big lab/ret. passed away shortly after this was taken so she doesn't really remember him, he was 10. & the heeler/shep. just passed away last Feb. at age 15 so she does know her. So these pics are more special to me than for her. :)

Altered photo challenge

This was for a challenge to alter your photo. This was such a fun photo. Her hair gets so electric on this couch it just cracks me up. I cut the edges of the photo with decorative scissors & then just cut it into 1 inch strips. I am also trying to use up my stuff so this is pretty simple with scrap paper & ribbon & I just printed the font onto more scrap paper.

NSD

What did you do for National Scrapbook Day last Saturday?

I went to Austin to my aunts & scrapped all day. I actually got 6 pages done!

I sat in on the scrapbook.com live crop. It was a blast even though I didn't win anything! I completed all of the challenges I had signed up for & even a couple that they threw in there during the day.

You can click on my gallery link to see the other 2 layouts that were for their challenges.

Let me see what you did!

SHOT anniversary crop

I am a member of a meet up group called SHOT-scrap happy ones together, they are a year old & had an anniversary crop last Saturday all day & I managed to actually get some pages done!

One I can't show you yet because I submitted it in a contest. But I made one for a 'Slang' challenge at scrapbook.com. I had the perfect pictures I took last year. Then I made one of my newest daycare baby-Jackson, he is just the sweetest little boy! I really like these 2 layouts.

I had a thought!

Can you believe it? I was cleaning up my scraproom & kept looking at my shelves with stamps on them, all my poor little lonely dusty stamps & it dawned on me---I don't like to stamp! I don't have a ton but even the ones I do have I NEVER use, I bought them on sale or someone gave them to me or I traded or who knows where I got them? But I finally gave myself permission to say it "I don't stamp" Is that part of the scrapaholic step program? I don't have to do or try or like everything that has to do with scrapbooking, although I seem to at least try it. So I am freeing upi my shelve space for something that I do use & like, who knows what just yet but I bet I can find something real soon! :)
