Scrapbooking: MOM

What a surprise and honor! My layout of my MOM was chosen as inspiration of the week at Let's Scrap http://letsscrap.ning.com/.  It is International Scrapbooking Month. there have been so many wonderful challenges over at Let's Scrap.  This challenge was to scrap your mom using a Let's Scrap sketch and a punched out element.  I used my border punch to create the blue strip near the bottom of the page.

Look no Hands

INSM#4

I had so much fun doing this LO. I knew I what I wanted to use and knew which drawers to look for the items. The cardboard gird is from discarded parts of game board pieces. My children laugh at me, but I eventually do use them. The pieces include: two flatten bottle caps, two plastic paper clips and two plastic tab looking things are the hook things I broke off sugar cookie cutters.The banners and the title are cutup paint chips. The strip on the banner is a strip of corragated cardboard. The "eyes" is a sock holder. I stamped the background with bubble wrap using silver and copper paint by makingmemories. I used the right side of sketch.The pictures are almost 15 years old.

It's National Scrapbooking Month. I am looking forward scrapbooking the challenges on Let's Scrap this month.  They have one challenge that helps you identify your scrapbooking style.  I figured out that my style is Cutsey. The challenge is to scrap a layout with in a different style.
I hope to post my completed challenges.

Scrapbooking-First Born and Sweet Joy

This is my first attempt at Let's Scrap Use your Stash Challenge #317. I was so excited about the lion paper I forgot I needed to use 3 pattern papers.  I love how it turned out.

I finally finished.  This is my second double layout.  I was so excited about the paper I found I forgot to use more patterned paper.  So here it is.  3  patterned paper-striped, numbers and background  20 brads exactly around the scalloped circle.
