S2L Challenge 7/28-8/4

This week's challenge was to scrap pictures that are more than a year old. Well that was easy for me since I am a chronological scrapper (except when it comes to the challenges). Plus I am at least a year and a half behind. The other part was to use Alphabet stamps or stickers on your page. I have plenty of alpha stickers, but there was no way I could use them on this page as the title is way too long to do the whole thing in them! lol So I am just sticking to the "pics over a year old" part of the challenge. These are from December 31, 2006.

Pages done by a great scrapper! (unfortunately it's not me! lol)

I have a great SparkPeople friend named Karrilee, she is a professional scrapper...yes she charges people to do scrapbooks for them. But since she is so kind and is always saying she is "caught up" (Hate her!! lol), I threatened to send her some of my pictures (a couple of times). She said I wouldn't do it, so I DID IT just to spite her!! lol jk Anyway, she created these BEAUTIFUL pages for me!! I am in awe of her work and so grateful she actually did them! (Without charging me. Gonna have to pay up next time! lol) It is no wonder she can charge for her pages because they are amazing. I just love them! THANKS KARRILEE!!! Oh and here is a link to her design website in case you are in need of a professional scrapper! http://www.karrilee.com/

S2L Challenge 6/19-6/26

The challenge for this particular week was to scrap the great outdoors. Or something in 30 minutes. Well for me that is impossible. Also I know this one is late, but I have a valid excuse, I was actually on vacation during this time. So the layouts are from picture of the vacation. The great outdoors!!! WOOHOO!! We went to Park City, UT. It was beautiful! A great summer place too since I don't ski it works for me! (Much cheaper now too!! lol)

Maze Book Online Crop 07/29/08

At the online crop we had on Tuesday, Alicia showed us how to make a maze book. First let me say it is harder to figure out when you are typing instead of being actually shown how to do it. It took me probably 4 hours to figure out the first one (that does NOT include pics or embellishments! lol That is JUST folding it!) The other three I did (which 2 are exactly the same and 1 is close but different paper, all the pics and embellies are the same) took me only about 10 minutes to complete each. MUCH easier once you know what you are doing!! lol

So here is pictures of two of them. I put the two fronts together because they are different colors. Then I used just the inside of one book (except on one I did the other book because the wording showed up better in the picture).

Then I had DS sign the final page. Too cute! Thanks again Alicia! I love them and I am thinking about making 2 more!

S2L Challenge 7/20-7/27

This week's challenge was to scrap a summer activity (swimming, hiking, camping, etc.). Use 5 photos in your layout. Or scrap anything. Well, it looks like I accomplished all! lol I was not trying to use only 5 pictures, didn't even really remember that was the other part of the challenge, but I happened to do it anyway! I had originally planned on scrapping swimming from Jan 2007, even though it wasn't actually during the summer it was still a normal summer activity and if nothing else it would fall into the scrap anything category. However, I remembered I had these pics from our recent trip and the CD that they are on was still out, so I could do a digital layout instead! I still am planning on doing the Jan 2007 pages this week too. I will add them on when I get them done.

Scrap to Lose Challenge 7/12-7/19

This week's challenge was to use pink and orange on your page. Since I have a boy, it is a bit difficult to come up with pink and orange layouts! lol But luckily we had just spent vacation in Park City, UT with my siblings and their kids. My sister has an adorable little girl who happened to wear a pink and orange outfit. The colors fit perfectly and I think the layouts turned out cute. Hope you enjoy them.

Scrap to Lose Challenge 7/4-7/11

This week's challenge was to use red, white and blue. Or to use sparkles (fireworks sparkle). So I used some of everything! I was on vacation when the challenge was issued, but I knew I needed to go back and do it especially so I could get some current pages done. I actually ended up doing 4 pages!! WOOHOO!!! Go me!! lol
