Play & Sweet Dreams

I signed up for Studio Calico Pop of the Page 2 online class, and am loving it. It has helped me expand my scrapbooking style. Here are 2 of the layouts I have done for my "homework".

Week 1 Challenge : was to create a layout inspired by an example given

 

Week 2 Challenge : was to use mixed media. I used Gesso and watercolors for the 1st time and loved it!

I am loving Basic Grey Bowties that I picked up at the Orlando Scrapbook Expo. The papers really went well with this picture of my oldest with his beloved VW Bus. I was super excited to see that there was a car pattern sheet that included a VW Bus and Bug!

I used Kiwi Lane DT Doodles 2013 week 18 sketch and paired it with The Paper Girls Challenge Blog : Challenge # 31 : Doodle Time.

Vroom! Vroom!

I came across Kristine Davidson's blog "Just Being Creative" and fell in love with her sketches. The sketch I used comes from her latest book Creating with Sketches Vol. 2.

 

The layout also qualifies for the following challenges:

About A Boy  :  For this challenge we had to create a layout of our child being a typical boy.  

"Lasting Memories" : We had to create a layout using only 1 photo.

....at the Beach

With the beginning of the month comes many new challenges on some of me favorite scrappy blogs.

For this picture of my boys at the beach I've decided to use The Paper Bakery May Sketch Challenge # 1.

 

I will be entering this layout in the following challenges as well:

SWAT Drill # 7 :  Tic Tac Toe - I used row 1 down; 3 buttons, stitching, and 3 different manufactures (Fancy Pants Park Bench and The Good Life, My Minds Eye Indie Chic, and Teresa Collins Carolina Breeze)

Scrap Your Story Challenge # 10 : Favorites

Red Carpet Studio # 35 : Black Swan - create a layout using black as the prominent color!

2 Broke Girls Cupcake Special # 3 : Photo inspiration - I've pulled the yellow/gold and turquoise  colors

Scrap Our Stash Challenge # 3 : Pattern Paper Party - 3 different manufactures (Fancy Pants Park Bench and The Good Life, My Minds Eye Indie Chic, and Teresa Collins Carolina Breeze) and a rubon (at the Beach)
