Year in Review Challenge at The Studio

Hi everyone,

I'm here to share my layout for the latest challenge at The Studio Challenges. I hope you can stop by and join in the fun! I looked back over photos from the year and one kept jumping out at me. I realized I hadn't scrapped it for some reason. We had a very snowy winter last year. On this day in particular, my son had the time of his life playing out in the snow. He and his furry friend (Flash, the dog) were so excited about the snow. Well, actually Caleb was excited. Flash wasn't impressed with the white stuff that made his paws cold but he would follow Caleb anywhere. Here's my layout:

 

There are a few things I just adore about this layout.

1. It gave me an excuse to play with my new India Ink. My sweet mother in law gave me a gift card and this is what I bought. Yay!

2. This photo just makes me smile in general. I mean, happy kid, happy pup, what could be better!

3. It came together without as much fuss as usual. My layout making process tends to be epic. This one was fairly easy! 

Thanks for stopping by! 

Happy, Scrappy News!

Hi everyone! I am so excited to be able to say that I am officially designing for two great companies! I was asked to be a part of the design team for Scraps of Darkness. I am intimidated by the talent on this team but I'm taking a deep breath and hoping I don't blow it! :) You can meet the rest of the team here.

 

I was also completely shocked that I was chosen to be on the team for UmWow Studio! Again, the talent level is unreal. I hope I can hang with these ladies! You can see the rest of the team here. 

Wowsers, that's a whole lotta my face there. lol. Thanks for stopping by! Hope you'll stay tuned for my newest scrappy adventures! Will this mild mannered scrap-a-holic be able to run with the big dogs? Or will she fall flat on her face and have to go into hiding forever? Stay tuned!

Daily Routine Challenge at The Studio

I just realized that my layout for The Studio's new challenge didn't get posted somehow. Don't ya just love it when auto post doesn't auto post? Lol

Anyway, the new challenge at The Studio Challenges is to document your daily routine. I chose to focus on one routine moment from my day. I love those everyday moments with my son! Here's my layout:

Mixed Media Challenge at The Studio!

Hi everyone! I'm here to share a new layout that I did for the mixed media challenge at The Studio Challenges. The challenge was to use mixed media. Since I tend to slop paint all over most every layout I create, this challenge was perfect for me! Here's my layout:

 

I took this photo of our yard the other day and it inspired me to create something for fall. I love the yellow and gold colors together. 

Thanks for stopping by and be sure to play along with this new challenge! 

Big Photo Challenge at a The Studio!

Hi everyone. I'm just stopping by to share my layout for the big photo challenge at The Studio. This challenge scared the daylights out of me! I am accustomed to using much smaller photos, and it was super hard for me to decide how to place everything on my layout. I am happy with the results, but it was definitely a big challenge! Here's my layout:
