Ceremony ~ A Wedding Layout!

Happy Saturday!

Any plans for the weekend?  We are going to my parents' today along with 2 of my sisters and their kids. I hope to take lots of pictures of all the little ones :)

I created this page last night for two challenges: Creative Scrappers Sketch #208 and Frosted Designs Fabulous Friday Challenge - Weddings.

I wrote the journaling right on the paper and it's a little hard to see unless you enlarge the picture. It simply reads "Ceremony pictures taken by our guests".  I really love this sketch and plan to do a mirrored 2nd page with more photos from our ceremony.  The paper and embellishments (except the bling and Thickers) are all from the Basic Grey Capella collection.

Have a great day!

52 Week Challenge - Week #5 & 24 Hour Challenge!

Well lookie here, it's only Saturday and my 52 Week layout is DONE! Whatever will I do with myself on Friday night now? LOL!

We had our monthly 24 Hour Challenge on SNC, I missed the deadline to get my layout entered for it but I still wanted to get mine done since I loved the collection and sketch picked for me by Amanda. She picked Echo Park Country Drive and this sketch from Creative Scrappers:

I've had this collection on my 24 Hour list a few times now and this is the first time it got picked. I've been saving it to use for pictures from my day trip to meet Sue!

I started off with inking the edges of all the papers with Tea Dye distress ink. I think it helped the papers not blend in together since they are a bit on the busy side. The thickers are from a kit I took apart and I used some flowers from Recollections and the blue one is one I've been hoarding from Precocious Paper! The butterflies were punched from a few of my Martha Stewart punches.

I can't wait to scrap more pictures from this day now that I finally started :)

TFL!

24 Hr. Challenge

Click HERE for my Birthday Sundaes Blog Hop Post!

During the last weekend of each month, a yahoo group I belong to, Scrappin-N-Chattin, has a 24 hour challenge where we each select 3 collections to work with and someone else selects the collection and sketch we are to use.  I haven't played along in several months and almost backed out within the last hour lol.  I'm glad I powered through and got my page done, it was the first page I've scrapped in over a month! After finally deciding to make the page and finding the stuff I needed, it only took me about 20 minutes to put together.

Abby chose this Creative Scrappers sketch for me along with the Bo Bunny Barefoot & Bliss Collection.

I flipped the sketch so I didn't cover up the pier on the paper.  The edges were inked with Colorbox Chestnut Roan.  The picture is of my husband and our dog on the boardwalk at a beach in the next city over from us.  Everything is from the collection except for the cardstock.  I {heart} how it came out!

Let's hope I can get scrappy again this month!

TFL!

Lasting Memories Challenge #28

Sigh...the weekend is almost over :(

But the good news is I have a new Lasting Memories challenge to share with you! 

"You're the Boss"

Please show us your unique style!

And........we have a sponsor for you!!

You can win one of three prizes, check out all the details HERE 

and see how the design team used images generously provided by our sponsor!

Here is my take on the challenge.  I really loved using the Journal Set #2 from Tiffany's Doodles! You can see 2 of the photo corners on each picture and well as the journaling spot.  How fun to be able to color it to match anything you are working on! Now that I noticed it, I should have colored the photo corners too. 

 I took these pics the day we adopted Amber.  

We had to wait for a vet to check her out before we could leave. To me that means photo op!

I used last week's Creative Scrappers sketch, however I did rotate it to suit my pictures.

Now show us how 'You're the Boss"!!

Layout Details: Basic Grey Max & Whiskers paper, bloomers, chipboard; Cosmo Cricket Tiny Type letters, misc. letter stickers, Storybook Cricut cartridge (for the scalloped circle), Journal Set #2 from Tiffany's Doodles
