....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)

Mr Man

For the 2 Broke Girls Cooking Class 101 challenge for April was to emboss. I broke out my embossing powders and heat gun that have been collecting dust to add the arrows in the top right corner of my layout.I've forgotten how much fun it was to use!

New Suit

I dug deep into my photo stash for this picture of my oldest from 2011 and paired it with ScrapbookSteals MWM Amber # 7. The papers and buttons have also been hanging around for a few years as well. 

I will be entering this layout in the following challenges:
SWAT Drill # 5 : Dig Deep
Scrap It Girl : Arrows or Angels
Scrap your Story : Stitching
2 Broke Girls : April Stir this Up

You Rock

I am following the new challenge site 2 Broke Girls. And found their Cupcakes by Design Sketch # 2 perfect for this picture of my oldest playing with his guitar.
