Things I Like In 2014

I apologize for the wonky look of this blog post, Blogger hates me today...

Hello everyone! My pals Erin and JJ are on the DT for this cool challenge blog called Challenge YOUrself. It's a scrapbooking blog that challenges you to create layouts with YOU in the photo! Great concept, right? We tend to forget about ourselves. I promised my friends I'd take part in the challenges :)

This month, they have a colour challenge. Here's the awesome colour combo: 

And here is my interpretation. I was hoping the plum would show up more (splatters), but it still works.

Thank you so much for dropping by!

Zoey & Coralie

 

Hello There! Sharing a layout I made with Scrapbook Circle's latest main kit called, quite appropriately,  Hello There.

This is a picture I took a couple of weeks ago of Zoey and her friend, Coralie. They always have a lot of fun together, it's so sweet to see :)

I used Let Get Sketchy's June Week 2 sketch as a base for this layout. The papers were also perfect for Scrapbook Challenges' June Mood Board Challenge. Thanks for the inspiration!

Happy Feet - SWAT drill #34

Hello everyone! This week's challenge over at SWAT is all about feet, with or without shoes! 

I decided to do a layout with this picture of my muddy shoes after the awesome Mud Hero run I did on June 14th! This was one of the hardest things I did in my life, but so rewarding! You can bet I'll soon share a layout of myself all muddy!

Make sure you share your layouts for this challenge on the SWAT blog to be entered for a drawing of a 20$ GC from Creative Embellishments!!

I used Sketch #271 from Creative Scrappers as a base for this layout. I also used the colour combo from Life. Paper. Scrapbook's Mood Board for June. I also used the words "Adventure Awaits" for my title because I thought it was incredibly appropriate. After all, this race showed me that I can do anything. The best is yet to come!

Practical Scrappers - Colour Challenge

I don't know about where you live, but over here the temperature is minus-oh-my-goodness-I'm-staying-inside. I think my brain froze from my craft room because I totally misread this challenge from Practical Scrappers. You see, I saw it was a colour challenge and didn't bother to read any further. We were supposed to make a card; I made a layout. Typical of me.  But Kristine told me to post it anyway because she is awesome!

First of, let me show you the colour combo that inspired it all, courtesy of Design Seeds:

Pretty, right? Now here's my layout. Notice the pink on a boy's page. Love it!

Looking back over the past few years, I'd say using two similar 3x4 pictures on one layout has kind of become a trademark for me. I love the look of it. However, I think the awesome Creative Embellishments chipboard (#boys) might make people think these are pictures of twins rather than just 2 of the same adorable little boy (these pics are from January 2013, btw). But I don't care. I love it!

Life is not a race. Take it slower. Hear the music before the song is over.♥
