Hats off!

As you may have noted, our daughter graduated from college this past April. A couple of weeks ago, in preparation for the next leg of her life-journey, she decided to start scrapping all her memories from her Italian semester. I decided to scrap alongside her and do up her graduation scrapbook. The next several layouts are of graduation 2012!

We had a fabulously fun photo session of R and her two best friends after all the ceremonies were over. I hope you enjoy the results!

September at Sisterhood of Scrap meant a new month of challenges. Our Olympic adventure had come to an end and a new season began. Each of the DT were asked to provide a challenge to the membership - the theme appropriately enough is "Back to School"

My challenge:
The summer has passed us and left us all with unique memories and opportunities to scrap. You know the stereotypical writing assignment we all received in school answering the statement "What I did this summer", well we're doing that with a TWIST. I know that in our family we had some pretty big goings on so my challenge to you is to scrap a summer memory but make it BIG!


Big event, big photo, big embellishment, big journaling, big ??? whatever BIG means to you! I also challenge you to use ONLY cardstock! If you are up for a further challenge, let's see you work with ONLY cardstock. If you do, I'll put your name into a draw for a RAK from moi at the end of the month.

Enter as many times as you'd like for a chance to win a gift certificate from The Paper Passion.


That's right, folks! If you want to come over and play with us this month, we have a sponsor for our monthly prize! Of course there are the usual RAK and other "regular" contests, but do come and play with us for YOUR chance to win!

Have a scrap happy day!

Hmm... blogger seems to have changed its features since I've been away. I'll try to figure things out but in the meantime, here's a layout I did using the colorful Imaginisce Hello Cupcake collection from Tina's Scrapbooking store. What fun papers to scrap all those fabulous birthday memories!

This is my grandson enjoying his first birthday cake. Actually it wasn't "really" his birthday, he'd already had that at home but it was his first birthday at Nana's house!

This layout was part of a tag at SSZ. I always get inspired by this game! Let me know what you think. I'll try to be back more often now. I have a lot of projects to show you!

Good Clean Fun

I hope you like today's post! I used Sketch 12-12 from Sketches: Creatively Yours! This sketch was drawn by Ali - our fearless leader... I hope you enjoy my interpretation of it. This is the right side page of a two pager - the other page can be found here:

Have a scrap-happy day!

In case you were missing them

here's another layout featuring the two cutest grandkids in the world!  Saturday night I participated in a one-hour crop over at Sisterhood of Scrap. It was so much fun! I'm glad I was able to stay awake for it. :-)

The entire month of January, these two delighted in dumping the dog's toys out of this basket. Their mom finally decided enough was enough, put them in the basket and we took their picture!

Have a scrap-happy day!

Another graduation layout

Rebecca is not the first of my kids to graduate. The first one to have an "official" graduation is my oldest son. He graduated high school in 2002. My husband just remarked that it was 10 years ago... wow. You don't think of someone who graduated 10 years ago as a kid.. but he's our kid!

Using Reminisce graduation papers from Tina's Scrapbooking, some Bazzil cardstock and a few other goodies, it's great to finally get this photo and his original invitation out of the frame and into safekeeping in my scrapbook.

Have a scrap-happy day!
