Good afternoon my Scraptastic friends!

I'm home today with 2 sick kiddos....they haven't moved from the couch except to eat. : (

But, on the bright side.....I'm getting my housework done! I'm not so sure how much of a bright side that is.....

Well, I have one last layout with the Sweet Summertime kit to share with you today. These are pictures of my niece from her 2nd birthday party.

Challenge time!!

It's Thursday again!!!! How can that be?? My July is slipping away!!! Yes, Michelle here again with my challenge for you. It's an easy one too. I know the summer is keeping us all busy. So, my challenge is.....

...to use stamps on your LO. Sounds easy, right? Well, there is a twist - use paint to stamp with. A great way to use those daubers we got in our fun kits! I know there are alot of us that have them and are addicted to them. If you don't have any paint, no worries. Just stamp on your LO.

  I used an Ali Edwards Technique Tuesday stamp and stamped on the journal cards with the paint in our kit. I love that stamp, and my sweet girl still does make me smile. These are old photos from about 9 years ago. I also used one of Trish's sketches from Sketch Inspiration.

So.. go get messy!!! Have some fun with paints and stamps!! I can't wait to see yours!! Make sure to link it up below for a chance to win this months prize - Simple Stories Life Documented Collection kit.

You also can find the previous challenges here and here.

Happy Scrapping!

July Challenge Two

Hi everyone! It's Heather, and I'm here to challenge you this week. I know you all know by now that I love creating sketches. This week is no exception! The challenge is to make a layout based on the sketch below. Feel free to flip it or rotate it. Just as long as we can tell that your page was inspired by the sketch it'll work!

Looking for a little inspiration? Here's the layout I made based on the sketch. Of course, I  used the fabulous July Scraptastic Club "Sweet Summertime" kit! 

Jessica also made a layout with the sketch and she used the same kit! I sent my sketch to her earlier this month and I just love the page she created. The way she matted the tiny letters really makes the title stand out. Thanks for your help Jessica!

You will have until Wednesday, August 3rd at midnight to upload your entries to the inlinkz tool below! We will have the same rules as last time. For every challenge you take part in, you'll receive an entry into the random drawing. Here's what you'll be playing for this month...... a Simple Stories Life Documented Collection Kit.

Please link your images below. Good luck! 

If you're looking for the first July Challenge, you can find it here.

inspired by a mini........

Good morning my Scraptastic friends!

It's Monday........and I woke up super early for some reason. I really want to stay home and hang with the family, but, I can't....lots of work to do at the office!

 

Remember Juliann's mini book that she did with the Sweet Summertime kit? Well, it totally inspired to do my own mini album with the kit. All of the pictures are from our recent day trip over to Pinckney Island.

And that's my mini.....

If you're looking for our first July Challenge, you can find it here.
