I was the Challenge #19 winner at <a href="http://scrapping4funchallenges.blogspot.com/2014/09/voting-grand-prize-winner-challenge.html" target="_blank">Scrapping4Fun Challenges</a> this summer. Now all the winners since May are taking part in the Grand Prize Challenge. I was given the sketch below and made a layout from a trip to North Carolina earlier this month. It was the first time I saw the Atlantic.<br />
<br />

I used the sketch from <a href="http://colorfulcreations2014.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Colorful Creations</a> and the challenge (3 patterned papers, 1 sentiment/title, 2 buttons and twine) from <a href="http://letsscrapsketches.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Let's Scrap Sketches</a> for this layout of my son. In case you can't tell, I am extremely proud of him.<br />

Challenge #202 at <a href="http://kcclayoutchallenges.blogspot.com/2014/08/lm-202-its-heat-wave-use-photo-inspired.html" target="_blank">Lasting Memories</a> is to use the hot summer colors from the above photo in a layout. Monday my daughter and I took two of my grandsons to Michigan Adventures amusement park. Those crazy teens rode the Thunderhawk coaster 3 times. I don't even like to watch all the twists, turns and upside down stuff. My cardstock is the same red as the buttons I used. Sorry it looks more rose (as does the bright red coaster in the photos).</div>

The Project Life challenge at <a href="http://stuckonusketches.blogspot.fi/2014/07/project-life-challenge-summer.html" target="_blank">Stuck on U Sketches</a> is summer. Well in Traverse City summer means National Cherry Festival. Work always manages to get in the way (especially this year when the company decided to do inventory again) but I did manage to see the Blue Angels, a movie at the Bijou, the Lego exhibit at the History Center and lunch at Chili's.</div>

There was nothing else noteworthy for the week but the 4th of July made up for that. <a href="http://stuckonusketches.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Stuck On U Sketches</a> PL challenge is to use buttons. I found some red star buttons that made perfect accents for this week. </div>

I made this 4th of July layout for <a href="http://thepapergirlschallenge.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">The Paper Girls</a> red, white and blue challenge. My phone can be set to take six quick pictures and I love how the photos turned out. I captured launch, explosion and fade with one touch of the button. The sketch I used called for flourishes but I used twisted twine and star buttons instead.</div>

My grandson's birthday, a new haircut and some crazy daisies growing in the driveway were the high points of this week. I am entering this at <a href="http://stuckonusketches.blogspot.fi/2014/06/project-life-challenge-stickles.html" target="_blank">Stuck On U Sketches</a> for the stickles/project life challenge. The centers of the yellow flowers was made with green/gold stickles. </div>

The June 8th challenge at<a href="http://kcclayoutchallenges.blogspot.com/2014/06/lasting-memories-194.html" target="_blank"> Lasting Memories</a> is "Wishing You Blue Skies" - to use blue and white. Fortunately the challenge doesn't end until July 4th because while I made the layout for father's day I forgot to do my blog post and enter until today. Oh how I wish there were as many pictures from then as we can take today. But I did find this photo of my dad and I taken while on vacation.</div>

Time for another challenge at <a href="http://sketchesinthyme.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Sketches in Thyme</a>. For challenge #127 I turned the sketch sideways to match the pictures I had. My grandson received an award for having a 3.5 or above average. Love how little brother photo bombed the picture.<br />

The latest challenge at <a href="http://scrapping4funchallenges.blogspot.com/2014/06/challenge-19-black-and-white.html" target="_blank">Scrapping 4 Fun</a> is black and white. My daughter posted some older pictures on facebook the other day in honor of her son's 10th birthday so I printed this picture and made a baby layout. (Better late than never right?) I love adding lace and flowers and butterflies but can't usually on a boy layout.<br />

Followed the sketch at <a href="http://stuckonusketches.blogspot.fi/2014/06/sketch-reveal-june-6th.html" target="_blank">Stuck On U Sketches</a> for this layout of my daughter (finally) receiving her certification. She had to take multiple classes across the country, but all that travel has paid off. I'm so proud of her. My pictures are too large to fit the 5 in the sketch so I modified a little and made it my own. The background is made with a stencil. Used liquid pearls and water instead of paint. The cardstock is a muted red, not the rose it appears in the photo. Too much light and the colors don't look right, too little light and the photos don't show right. Maybe someday I'll get a perfect picture.</div>

And open up my eyes<br />

If you will take me heart<br />
If you will teach me all these things<br />
You’re giving me the gift of wings<br />

Show me all the beauty<br />
Everywhere to see<br />
Open up the gate<br />
Set my imagination free<br />
Teach me to express myself<br />
In many different ways<br />
Build my sense of worthiness<br />
For all of my days<br />
<br />
Help me find my colours<br />
Help me bring them to the light<br />
So that I may paint my dreams<br />
Strong and beautiful and bright<br />
Teach the joy of learning<br />
To make the magic last<br />
I’ll take into the future<br />
All the love in my past</div>

<strong>"Let's Hear It For The Boy"</strong><br />
<br />
My baby, he don't talk sweet<br />
He ain't got much to say<br />
But he loves me, loves me, loves me<br />
I know that he loves me anyway<br />
And maybe he don't dress fine<br />
But I don't really mind<br />
'Cause every time he pulls me near<br />
I just wanna cheer<br />
Let's hear it for the boy<br />
Oh, let's give the boy a hand<br />
Let's hear it for my baby<br />
You know you gotta understand<br />
Oh, maybe he's no Romeo<br />
But he's my lovin' one-man show<br />
Oh, whoa, let's hear it for the boy<br />
My baby may not be rich<br />
He's watchin' every dime<br />
But he loves me, loves me, loves me<br />
We always have a real good time<br />
And maybe he sings off-key<br />
But that's alright by me, yeah<br />
'Cause what he does, he does so well<br />
Makes me wanna yell<br />
Let's hear it for the boy<br />
Oh, let's give the boy a hand<br />
Let's hear it for my baby<br />
You know you gotta understand<br />
Oh, maybe he's no Romeo<br />

Oh, whoa, let's hear it for the boy<br />
'Cause every time he pulls me near<br />
I just wanna cheer<br />
Let's hear it for the boy<br />
Oh, let's give the boy a hand<br />
Let's hear it for my baby<br />
You know you gotta understand<br />
Oh, maybe he's no Romeo<br />
But he's my lovin' one-man show<br />
Oh, whoa, let's hear it for the boy<br />
(Let's hear it for the boy)<br />
Let's hear it for my man<br />

Let's hear it for my man, yeah...<br />

Pull yourself together<br />

The song for this time's challenge at <a href="http://asonginyourart.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank">A Song In Your He{ART}</a> is Great Day to Be Alive by Travis Trill. For my layout I took the lyrics<br />
<br />
"And it's a great day to be alive<br />
I know the sun's still shinin when I close my eyes<br />
There's some hard times in the neigborhood<br />
But why can't every day be just this good?"<br />

A cousin and his wife are commercial fishers. Lake Michigan froze
over in the past winter that seemed to never end. His wife took this
picture on the day they could finally get back out on the water. For
them it was truly a great day.<br />

Great Day to be Alive lyrics (Travis Tritt)</h2>
</div>
I got rice cooking in the microwave<br />
Got a three day beard I don't plan to shave<br />
And it's a goofy thing but I just gotta say<br />
Hey I'm doing alright<br />
Yeah I think I'll make me some homemade soup<br />
<br />
Feelin pretty good and that's the truth<br />
It's neither drink nor drug induced<br />
No I'm just doin alright<br />
And it's a great day to be alive<br />
I know the sun's still shinin when I close my eyes<br />
There's some hard times in the neigborhood<br />
But why can't every day be just this good?<br />
It's been fifteen years since I left home<br />
Said good luck to every seed I'd sown<br />
Give it my best and then I left it alone<br />
Oh...I hope their doin alright<br />
Now I look in the mirror and what do I see?<br />
A lone wolf there starin back at me<br />
Long in the tooth but harmless as can be<br />
Lord I guess he's doin alright<br />
<br />
And it's a great day to be alive<br />
I know the sun's still shinin when I close my eyes<br />
There's some hard times in the neigborhood<br />
But why can't every day be just this good?<br />
Sometimes it's lonely<br />
Sometimes it's only me<br />
And the shadows that fill this room<br />
Sometimes I'm fallin<br />
Desperately callin<br />
Howlin at the moon...<br />
Ahwoo!<br />
Ahwoo!<br />
Well I might go get me a new tattoo<br />
Or take my old Harley for a three day cruise<br />
Might even grow me a Fu Man Chu...<br />
Oh Aww!<br />
And it's a great day to be alive<br />
I know the sun's still shinin when I close my eyes<br />
There's some hard times in the neigborhood<br />
But why can't every day be just this good?<br />
And it's a great day to be alive<br />
I know the sun's still shinin when I close my eyes<br />
There's some hard times in the neigborhood<br />
But why can't every day be just this good?</div>

His cousins couldn't help teasing tribal council candidate Mark when he was caught on camera kissing a cousin's new baby. I used the April 25th sketch from <a href="http://stuckonusketches.blogspot.com/2014/04/sketch-challenge-april-25th-2014.html" target="_blank">Stuck On U Sketches</a>.<br />

The challenge at <a href="http://gloriadesignschallenge.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Craft Hoarders Anonymous</a> is to use the sketch with a twist - use one old item and one new item. My oldest item is the doily - it takes a long time to use an entire package of 20. The newest item is the fence. I bought that die a couple weeks ago and LOVE it. The papers and flowers are Recollections from Michaels. The washi tape is from the dollar store.<br />

I was so excited to find this photo online - my father-in-law's uncle, niece and grandmother. I used the sketch from <a href="http://colorfulcreations2014.blogspot.com/2014/04/april-15-sketch-challenge.html" target="_blank">Colorful Creations </a>and the challenges from <a href="http://conniecancrop.blogspot.com/2014/04/monthly-challenge-21-pastels-and-polka.html" target="_blank">Connie Can Crop </a>(pastels and polka dots - the pink paper), <a href="http://redcarpetstudiochallenge.blogspot.com/2014/04/rcs-67-hop.html" target="_blank">Red Carpet Studios </a>(Easter or pastels) and <a href="http://scrapourstash.blogspot.com/2014/04/stash-challenge-13-spring-colors.html" target="_blank">Scrap Our Stash</a> (spring colors). I'm happy to say that both the lace and flower ribbon have only tiny pieces left which I will use or toss this week. Feels good to finally use all of something.<br />
