Scrapbook kit

So I had started this back in October... and I have loved it. I got it each month from Heartfelt Creations in Sandy, and had to make a 2 page layout with what was given to me. I have kinda been slacking on posting pictures... but here a few.

All Scrapbook Steals Challenge

This contest was extended, so my sister and I entered it, it had some great prizes... so wish us luck. (Something to keep me busy)

NaNoWriMo

Here it is my writing blog. I am starting this blog for NaNoWriMo. What is that you ask? Well if you can see this here blog odds are you already know, cause you are doing it too. If not it just means you were curious about this other new blog of mine and wanted to check it out... So NaNoWriMo is National Novel Writing Month. It happens each November and you sign up and try to write a novel, 50,000, in 30 days. Sound hard, it is, I have tried it for 3 years now and have yet to accomplish this.

I am once again going to attempt to accomplish, and start anew with a big goal in mind and a desire to get it done! After this I am going to transfer all my writing onto this blog and cut out my extra writing blog on my former class site...

Wish me luck and if you would like to attempt NaNoWriMo Click on this here link and sign up, and add me as a buddy!

Another night out with girls...

I am loving scrapbook weekends, I get a few things done, and I do it with friends I love! So I only got like 2 pages done, but that is better than nothing right?

Layout kit

There is this great scrapbook store that started this great kit club, where you get all the things you need to create a great two page layout each month. I found it was even more of a challenge, because you could not add and extras to it. I was struggling at first, but then had fun with it. I usually struggle with my own writing for titles, but decided I liked that personal touch. I made lots of the water distressed flowers to make it have that "garden" feel (see previous post for link to a tutorial on these flowers). I am very pleased with how it turned out, and I can't wait for the next one. Let me know what you think, and then check out Heartfelt creations

Scraps= Cards

So I heard of a good way to use up scraps right a way, and cut down storage of usable pieces, too. After making a layout or two with the matching papers from the line you are using, make a few cards with the rest. Then you can toss the scraps with out the guilt... I still need to be better about it, I have a couple of bags of scraps I plan on using to make cards... I just haven't gotten to it yet. But here I tried out a technique I saw on the Bo Bunny blog for making flowers... I tried it with this big one...

Night out with girls...

It has been a while since I have gotten my stuff dug out and worked on any kind of scrapbook pages, but tonight my sister got together some old friends, and I dragged a couple of my dance family and we all scrapbooked for a while. While pathetic me only squeaked out a couple page layouts, I was able to catch up with friends and have a yummy dinner. So here are the layouts I got done...
