If there's any family that starts some good ones it can be ours, from our contest to our party themes we think up.
These were just some fun pictures from Christmas Day last year with the crazy glasses. I wish my pictures from our Minute to Win it Game would have come out better.
So here's the song layout for I started a Joke.
Just a fun layout of our last visit at Disney with Rebecca - now we spent the majority if time with her and Chris at the Wine and Food Festival but we did get to a character breakfast at the Floridian one morning. It sure bring back a lot of memories of her being at Disney when she was small and how much she loved Mary Poppins and all the characters, as long as it wasn't the villains.
This makes me think when I did this challenge about doing a album with Rebecca and some of the characters through the years. Check and see what the other designers created with this idea at Child's Play. Designing with the ideas at this blog has been wonderful for me getting so many fun pictures and memories scrapped.
Scrapbook Challenges - I love the sketches we get to do for this site, they are amazing and have really helped me get so many great layouts completed.
This one is a little busy but I've always loved this paper line so much. I choose to do a square frame with a circle in the middle rather than cut my photo down.
It's a really fun one to create with.
It's a photo from our visit to the zoo in DC a couple of years ago.
They all are pretty sunny over at the blog - Sunny Side Up Creations .
Wow were these colors ever a stretch for me to use since I'm usually scrapping with a lot lighter color selection. Once I found the right pictures I remembered some pp that I had from a couple of years ago that would work perfect with them.
Now this was a challenge- I'm happy with the results of the page - Mathew had around 3 years when he was at the ER so much I thought they were going to put his name on a door there.
Check out he blog - I'm sure this color combination has brought out some amazing art projects.
I'm not sure if I have the answer to that one - but it's a great song choice to scrap this challenge at Scrap it with a Song. Of course I used a picture of Rebecca and Chris - they have so many fun pictures that I can always find a good one.
Check out the lyrics to the song- there are some great words and ideas from it.
It's an amazing site and I feel really blessed to be among the amazing group of talented ladies on this team. You'll find inspiration from every area of art, paining, needlework, baking, scrap-booking and jewelry. Check it out every week they have a different color pallet to work with Sunnyside Up Creations.
I've posted to their creations on the side bar but this is my first official post as part of the design team. It goes without saying I'm very excited to be part of the group, some of these ladies are also on the Scrapbook Challenges team and also design on Kitchen keepsakes, which means it gives us even more chances to create together.
It's unusual when I'm not journaling but I wanted to keep the layout focused on the grandmothers in my life, it's going in a book for my daughter about her grandparents. I have written about all of them in there. I used original photos so I really do treasure these small pictures.
I have Bob this time captured in a Disney picture. The Mad hatter always has a great time with everyone and of course Bob happened to be the one at our table that he enjoyed giving a hard time to.
Fun photo for my 6 x 12 book of fun pictures. It's for the challenge on Scrapbook challenges - sketch # 337 - really fun sketch to do.
The variety on the design team this week is great : Scrapbook Challenges.
Now for some reason this layout was just fun to create- it was easy a little humor and of course I got to play with the Washi tape for it. The challenge is Duct tape but since I'm not the home repair person - I turned to Washi Tape which I have repaired a few things with.
Check out the other designs the group came up with for this one - then go have some fun creating.
First of all it's great because we have Jeff, Karen and the boys here - so it's going to be fantatic, we have a lot of fun things planned. Lego Land yesterday - baseball game tomorrow !
Second for this week is the two new teams I'm designing with - both are great and completely opposite which I love.
First is Sunny Side Up challenges - they are based in the Netherlands and I design with two of the people at scrapbook Challenges and one at Kitchen keepsakes. With help I'm getting through the translations and learning my way around the blog. They have amazing color challenges and the artistic levels of everyone on there are amazing.
Then a brand new challenge blog - which is just the most adorable site and the team looks like it's going to be amazing from the work I have already seen. The challenges will be sketches, quotes, stash, technigues and other assorted things. It has a nice community also.
My home base though is Kitchen Keepsakes which I have been a part of the community here for a long time, I do the sketch challenges and am the design team coordinator. Also I've developed a great fun friendship with Suzanne that owns the site, I have to stay friends with her, now she knows to much about me.,LOL
Then my other favorite place to be and create for it Scrapbook Challenges, I'm in my second term on the design team there , sketches, number, technique, wildcard, colors and techniques are all challenge they do pus it's a great community of scrappers.
Then two sites that have been unbelievable in helping me get layouts done and giving me wonderful ideas to create with are.
Child's play has been a fantastic sourse for me personally to get a lot of pictures scrapped of the grandchildren and Rebecca- love the ideas they have.
Then the mind stretcher and the site that has given me the best ideas to create a book (well I'm on book number 2 now) for Rebecca and Chris - to keep the memories of their dating years for them.
So if this won't keep me busy I guess nothing will between this , the house, the condos to manage and everything in between, I feel so blessed to have a family that I enjoy and I'm able to keep the present memories captured for them and go back and tell about my childhood and record heritage.
