be awesome - Soul Scrappers

Hello my scrappy friends!  Happy 3 day weekend in honor of Presidents Day!  We actually had a 4 day weekend since school was closed to students on Friday.  My high schoolers are loving not much homework and being able to stay up late each night and sleep late each morning!

Today I finished a layout I started the other day.  My two kids, of course since I don't scrap about many others, at the lake in 2014.  Here they are just laying on their surf boards, chatting.  So happy they still are such good friends!

This layout will be entered in Soul Scrappers challenge, Tic-Tac-Toe #56.  I used the top row of washi tape-arrows-stamping.   This challenge lasts until March 6 so you have plenty of time to join!!

Cool Kids - Soul Scrappers

Hello my scrappy friends!!!  On this cold and rainy day, I decided to scraps some summer pictures of my kids!!  I pulled out some neglected supplies to create this...some buttons, glitter dots, stickers and vellum!

This LO was inspired by Soul Scrappers Survivor February challenge.  This month we are challenged to scrap a page referencing water.  I think being in the lake water qualifies for this challenge!!  To make our LO more "watery" we had options....

Waves - paper

Raindrops

Bubbles (Bubble wrap)

Steam (misting)

Splashing (Splatters)

Paint or ink drips

Smooching (paint or ink)

I used the twine to replicate waves;  misting, sparkling glitter dots and ink splatters for water droplets.

Thanks for taking a look and commenting!!

Birth Minute - 16 years old

Hello my scrappy friends!

I finished this LO a week or so ago but never posted, not sure why?!?  Anyway here is it!  My son's 16th birth minute!  Since he was born in August, I get to take these birth minute pictures often.  My poor daughter isn't so lucky...her birthday is in May, most often she is in school.

I grabbed a stencil from STAMPlorations Dots and Dashes  and a stamp from SU! Balloon Adventures.  My papers are all scraps and PL cards.  I used Lily Bee Design letter stickers for the title, and a little bit of thread from my grandmother's house.

I'll be entering my layout into the Lasting Memories blog challenge #478 - Anything Goes.   You have a few more day s to enter as Saturday 2/1/20 is the deadline.

STAMPlorations is also hosting a challenge this month using stencils.   Use any of their stencils on your project and enter it here to win!  You can also enter your project into their Never Ending Anything Goes Challenge.

Promises

Hello my scrappy friends!  I hope the beginning of 2020 is being kind to you.  So far so good for me!  

Here is a layout I created being inspired by Lasting Memories challenge #479, using a new technique, tool or product.  I used new to me letter stickers and stamps.  This challenge lasts until the end of the month she you have plenty of time to enter!!

I'm also jumping into the challenge at Festive Friday #FF0050, using at least three items from the inspiration list.  I've used rainbow (different colored circle stamps), button (on car), and die cuts (circles, zebra, car and title).

Here is my daughter a few years ago after we recently pulled onto the driveway.  Apparently it was a beautiful day and she wanted to finish her book!  Maybe we were going to go to the library to get her another book, rather then just coming home, since it looks like she is almost finished reading the book!  Doesn't really matter, I just love that she loved to read all of the time.  At 15 years old currently, I did she her reading a book yesterday after she finished her homework.  A snack and a book, doesn't get much better!!
