Scrapbooking A Lot These Days

I have been scrapbooking a lot lately. But, I haven't been sharing them here. I am not really sure why--maybe because I'm not entering challenges; maybe because I don't know if anyone is looking, maybe because I'm focusing on putting a lot of photos on my layouts so there isn't much interesting going on; maybe because I clearly don't have my camera setup to take a decent photo.  I don't know.

Today, I decided to make some layouts of some older photos (from 2011). My motivation probably had something to do with all of the snow we have been getting here in the Midwest lately!!!  I don't love getting out in the snow, but the day these photos were taken, we all decided to play in the snow--EVEN ME!!! I was surprised (as you can see by the photos) that they talked me into sledding down that HUGE hill at our old house!!!

I decided to make this layout for my friend Stacy's challenge! She's the best. You should go check out her challenge.

Thanks for looking. If any of you are actually still out there, pop in and say hi!! I'll try to get around to you soon!!!!

Echo Park NSD Challenge #4: 10X the Love

Here is Charlie on the day that we had a blizzard. It was his first "big" snow! He hated it and wanted in! I made this for Echo Park's NSD Challenge #4: 10X the Love using an older collection that I love! In case you are wondering "what are the 10 things?", they are the 10 snowflakes with a jewel in each at the top!  I hope you like it! I wanted to do so much more scrapbooking today, but I am happy I got a chance to create a few layouts! Maybe I'll get more time tomorrow!

Thanks for looking!

Charlie in the Snow

Here is Charlie in the "snow."  Little did we know that we would have several blizzards after that and well into March!  Hopefully, spring will poke its head out soon seeing how today is the first day of APRIL!  Anyway, I made this for Simon Says Stamp Anything Goes. It is my third entry!

First Day of Spring Break and it's been snowing all day!

So, I got inspired to make this Snowy layout.  You'll have to use your imagination to place these two pages together side by side as I'm technologically ignorant in how to do it! It is based on Scrapbook & Cards Today Project 12 February 2011 sketch for Scrapfit's #39 - Glitter and Glam challenge.  Since our snowman was a girl named "Frenchie" I thought this would be perfect for the challenge.  You can't tell from the photos, but I sprayed the blue background paper with Tattered Angels chalkboard mist in white!  I also added jewels to the snow embellies from Crate Paper!  I did a little sanding and distressing on the papers also. 


Hope you are enjoying your day!
