The colors I chose are blue, red and orange.

I am very happy with how this layout turned out.

I was a bit uncertain when I read the challenge

and checked out the colors, these are not

colors I normally use. Hence, that is why

it is a challenge. LOL

And with a picture of Jake, any layout will

be cute. :)

My layout is also based on a sketch they provided.

"Thank You" to the girls at Scrapping Out Loud

for the challenge to do this. :)

Lori's Weekly Challenge #6 at LIITD

This weeks challenge was to combine old and new products.

As you can tell, my pp is VERY old and the light pink squares

are CM stickers. The rest is newer stuff. :)

I am really happy to be getting pages done for

my daughters baby album. I mean, she is

16 and I don't have this done. Shame on me. LOL

Cdn. Scrap-n-Chat - card sketch challenge

I love the card sketch challenges that Gloria posts bi-weekly.

She always pick out really nice sketches. :)

This card was inspired by a card from SplitcoastStampers,

that Tammy had posted on the board. I loved

the idea of using metalic rub on paints on the

embossed images. Very cool. And a

wonderful effect.

Altered coaster swap

at Cdn. Scrap-n-chat. This coaster is

now a fridge magnet.

I painted both sides white and used

stickles around the edge. :)

I may just make one for myself. :)

What I've been doing for the past few weeks ....

Moving. What a process, even though it is one I am used to. I only moved about 10 minutes from where I was originally but it was a move for the best. :) Moving day went smoothly except for hauling all my stuff up 30 steps .... talk about jelly legs by the time we were done. It was crazy. My legs still are not used to all those steps ... lol. Hopefully soon.
I am now for the most part finished ... I'll still find things to do here and there for awhile. I'm not 100% satisfied with it yet. But, at least now I can take some time to sit down and scrap. I've missed some fun challenges :( but I am ready to go now. Hopefully tonight or tomorrow. :)

The u-haul i rented and filled. Crazy what a person has.

My bedroom - before

my bedroom - after. I still have lots of re-organizing to do.

the kitchen - after & before.

Gee's room ... not done yet.

Scrapping Out Loud blog challenge

This weeks challenge was Amazing Moments.

Well, EVERY moment with my daughter is amazing. :)

They also provided a sketch which I used some

of the design elements from and their word of the week:

LOVE

Happy Valentine's Day!

I LOVE this little box. This was a challenge posted on

LIITD by Amber. She gave the directions to make this

cute little box. It is so adaptable, it could be changed to

make various types of boxes.

I couldn't find my transparency (to cover the cut out circle area),

so I used the plastic packaging that paper, stickers, etc. come in. Worked

just as good and is a good way to use that clear packaging

instead of throwing it out. :)

Mix It Up Blog challenge - Mixer #5

For this challenge you had to use bling in a

original fashion on your LO. For mine

I cut a bling circle in half and placed the pieces at

the top corner of each picture and put some of the

pieces on my flowers and heart. I also separated the

letters of the bling word "fabulous" and placed

the letters on circles ... made for a bigger title too. :)

It's hard to tell in the picture but my background

cs is dark grey.

Also, my LO is based on a sketch provided by them.
