Scrapping With the Oldies~Week 5

Week 5 asks for
  • Cosmo Cricket papers older than 2009...I used "Wanted"...the paper I'm using throughout my Texas Album.
  • Tim Holtz Grungeboard...I used letters and spritzed them with the "mystery item"
  • Basic Grey Rub Ons

I waited last minute to do this one, the glue is still wet and it's pretty simple....but it's one more page in my album! The journaling reads, "Happiness is when friends fly from miles away for a visit! I was so happy to see my best friend. April 25, 1997" The pic of me was taken in the car just after DH and I went to the airport to pick her up! That was a wonderful visit....more than 12 years ago....she's still one of my very best friends but unfortunately still miles away! Love ya Kym!

Week 4 of Scrapping with the Oldies at AF

I am having a blast Scrapping with the Oldies over at Art Freckles! It's nice to use up some older stuff, sorting through my stash and finding stuff I forgot I even had! This is my layout for Week 4. Includes 7 gypsies paper, flowers, maya road chipboard and of course the mystery item which took me a while to unscramble (the decorative pin)....the first time I've ever used a pin on a layout.

A Project & NSD Challenge Layout to Share

Much of these new Goodies were bought from LoveBugScrapbooking....on of my favorite online stores and kit clubs! Put them all together on a blank chipboard canvas given to me by my friend Mandi and a lovely gift for my friend Colette was created! Here it is! I gave it to her with her scrappy goodies for her birthday! She loved it!
Another NSD challenge, this one is by Kelli at Art Freckles! I managed to complete this one in less than 45 minutes! Whew, made it in just in time!

NSD Challenges Completed~ Loads of LB Pages

A spring layout for a Lovebug challenge this past NSD! A Mothers' Day layout....well MIL layout!!!
My Moms' card for this years' Mothers day!
This next very sparkly page was made for the Scrappin' With the Oldies challenge over at AF. I have some older Autumn Leaves paper and buttons, Queen & Co. Felt Fusion, and a 'mystery' item of the week. Fun challenges!
A GDT Recipe Challenge from the Art Freckles Forum.
Just a page with some new papers! Love these cuts from Prima!
Lastly, the pages I created with my amazing Lovebug Scrapbooking April/09 kit! I added a few cardstock backrounds when I was running low on pp, and a few flowers here and there...but most of it came from either the kit or the add-ons! Wonderful value in these kits!!! Denise does a great job coordinating them!





This page was designed using the 52 sketches sketch #17~
And this one remains blank...for a photo to be taken next weekend!
