Great Job!

Hi there friends! Today I've got a new layout to share with you that I did for...myself! Most of my recent pages have been for DT assignments and I looooove those, but I also love it when I get the chance to make something just because I feel like it. ;) This one was inspired by the awesome sketch over at Artful Delight this month...








Supplies: Simple Stories Elementary Collection - Bookworm, Spelling Bee, Flash Cards; Tim Holtz Distress Ink - Walnut Stain; Tim Holtz Distress Marker - Walnut Stain; Studio Calico Mister Huey - Classic Calico, Overdue, Estate Green; Paper Smooches Stamps - Good Gab; Studio Calico Alpha Border Stamp; EK Success Embossed Curve Border Punch; Fiskars Round & Round Punch; Fiskars Twinkle Twinkle Punch; EK Success Photo Corner Punch; My Mind's Eye Celebrate Brad

How cute is that?? I took these pics of Madison doing her homework right after she started Kindergarten. She LOVED homework (don't ask me why, lol!) and she was always ready to get it done. It continued through first grade last year and we're hoping the trend goes on for second grade also. ;)

So there you go! I'll be back in a couple of days with a new layout for Sketches In Thyme and then at the beginning of September with a project for the newest challenge at Scrap It Girl. And if I feel crafty the next couple of days, I may see you even sooner that that. :) Have an awesome day!

Hi friends! I've got a new layout to share with you today. :) In my scrapbooking group (Scrappin-N-Chattin) I host a challenge each month called the 24 Hour Challenge. The way it works is that you have a collection (you choose 3 from your stash that you're ok working with) and sketch (I choose 3 different ones) chosen for you by other players for you to work with, and then you have 24 hours to complete a layout with them and be entered to win a yummy prize! I used to play along with the other ladies every month but lately haven't been able to. Well yesterday I was and I'm so glad!




Supplies: Simple Stories Happy Day Paper - Make A Wish & Flash Cards; Bazzill Cardstock - Kraft; Tim Holtz Distress Ink - Walnut Stain; Ali Edwards Stamp Set - Sentimentally Ali; Studio Calico Mister Huey's Color Mists - Classic Calico & Calico Cream; Fiskars Star Punches; Making Memories Star Brads

The group as a whole chose the Simple Stories Happy Day collection for me and an amazing sketch posted on the Write Click Scrapbook blog (which you can see here). It can be a challenge sometimes to work with things that you had no control over picking, but it can also be alot of fun! Sometimes I end up with pages I probably never would've made otherwise and I absolutly love that. ;)

If the 24 hour challenge is something you'd like to try and an amazing group of fun (and very chatty, lol!!) scrapbooking loving women sounds like something you'd like to be a part of, we'd love to have you join our group anytime! We're all very close and love welcoming new people. :)

Thanks for stopping by today...I'll be back soon with some new cards to share. Yesterday was very productive for me!
