Olympic Wrestling

I knew I had until August 31 at midnight to finish all the challenges for Sisterhood of Scrap's London Olympic crop so kept working right till the last minute!

This photo of my sweet little Hugo was scrapped for the wrestling challenge at the site. Isn't he just a doll? I am using more bright colors this summer again because he's kind of a "bright color" kid! The Bo Bunny Ad Lib papers aren't easy to work with but they sure make an impact!

Let me know what you think! Have a scrap-happy day!

One Cent Day

Over at Sisterhood of Scrap, Helen has been informing us of all sorts of random holiday. April 1 was One Cent Day and in honor of that esteemed day, and the fact that our federal budget came down and they are going to eliminate this little coin, I felt that I had to do a layout with pennies on it.

The other day we were at Michael's and saw some "grab bags". My hubby couldn't resist the $2 price tag and I have to admit that we got more than $2 worth in each of our 3 bags. I had all the paper laid out on the dining room table today when he walked by and started to look at it. He really admired this one random piece of paper in the pile so I used it for him. Father's Day 2011 was worth at least a penny or two..

The scrap room is almost done! I'll share photos soon. :-)

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!

Our little "country girl"

We had a nice little blizzard here today so what better way to spend my time than at my craft desk? Today I chose some adorable new Kaisercraft Farm Collection that Tina gave me recently.  I chose some photos of Gabby last Spring the day she discovered the boys' tractor next door. She had a blast!

It's hard to believe how different she looks today! She's growing up so fast.

I also used some of the Tim Holtz Core'dinations paper, a Prima flower, Thickers, misc wood embellishment, clip art rooster from my favourite vintage image site - Graphics Fairy.

Enjoy!
