Amazing Giveaway

Head over to Erika's blog before January 5th and become a follower for a chance to win over $900 worth of scrapping goodies.

Color Challenge

I'd forgotten how hard this time of year is working retail. I work at work (help customers, clean store), I work at home (cleaning, decorating, baking) I shop and I sleep.  Finally claimed an hour for scrapping while the laundry was washing. These layouts are for the color challenge at Scrappin-n-chattin. Challenge was to use mostly brown and blue. The pictures are for my husband, 2 daughters and oldest grandson, taken at my daughter's house.

Newest Layouts

Wow - it's been nearly two weeks since I've added any layouts. This first is for the scenic challenge at Scrappin-n-chattin. You can't tell from the picture but the photos are of the Mackinac bridge taken from the fort on Mackinac Island.

This second layout is also for Scrappin-n-chattin for both the sketch challenge and the button challenge. Our town has a "Friday Night Live" on the main downtown street during the month of August. My son and grandson are part of a break dance crew.

Fair Food

The challenge at The (Paper) Trail Makers is food. So what's the fair without food? This layout is of my daughter and grandson eating at the fair. Don't worry my family also ate french fries, ice cream, a turkey leg, elephant ear, a pastry called fat balls, roasted ears of corn,  lemonade and pop. Thanks goodness it's only once a year.

Bo Bunny Giveaway at the Scrapbooking Cottage

Stacy at The Scrapbooking Cottage is hosting a giveaway for Bo Bunny's Noel papers. Head on over before Thursday for the details and a chance to win.

Spooky Book

Unibind Photobook Creator on facebook had a contest last week - several people including me won a book cover and some dinotalk paper.  The winners were asked to create a spooky book by noon on Friday.

I recorded my spooky sounds and attached the dinotalk paper to the front of the album. 

 
I covered the dinotalk with a sheet of patterned paper and put a purple square over the play button.

I used pictures I had on hand from my grandsons' trip to the pumpkin patch last year. I can add more pages after halloween when I get this year's pictures.

My finished book.

Fall

This layout of my grandsons' visit to the pumpkin patch in 2009 is based on the sketch at Sketchy Thursdays and the inspiration challenge at Papercraft Star. The pumpkin embellishment is for the curled paper challenge at Scrappin-N-Chattin.
