september's member spotlight......

Good morning my Scraptastic friends!

TGIF!!!!

I'm super excited today to share with you something new that we've started this month!

It's time to announce, share and reveal the Members Spotlight for September!

Our member spotlight for September is.......

 

Rebecca VanDyke

I was one of those people who said there was no way I would ever spend time with all those little snippets of paper and stickers and scrapbook. Why would I want to do that when the pictures looked just as good stuck on one of those vinyl adhesive albums, and besides that I was too busy quilting. Well, someone talked me into going to a CM demo and I quietly laid my quilting needle down and picked up my scissors and hundreds and hundreds of layouts later I'm still happily scrapping away! And of course along with scrapbooking as come the love of taking pictures. Sigh....life IS good!

 

Rebecca chose the Too Cool For School Kit and Add-On this month.

Here's what she did so far (I believe that she has more in store for us later this month).....

The journaling reads:

I may not be the #1 girl in your life anymore, but just remember Buddy, I WAS the first that you asked to marry you, never mind that you were only three at the time…..  (The #1 and the journaling are done on transparency)

 

 

 

 

 

What an awesome job!!!!! Thanks Rebecca for sharing your work with us this month.....I can't wait to see what else you do with the kit!!!

First up is the one that I finished yesterday using the A Walk in the Garden Kit and And-On.

Next up is a layout from DT Juliann Marchant also using the A Walk in the Garden Kit and Add-On.

scrappin" with Shimelle part 3

Good morning my Scraptastic friends!

Happy Monday! Well, it's official......the kids went back to school today. I've been up since 6:30 getting everything ready, and then I walked them up to the crossing guard......

There they are.....the start of another school year!

Over the weekend I was working on the challenges from over at Shimelle's blog.....I've already posted 4 of the layouts that I did, and today I'm here to share 2 more....

This layout was done for Shimelle's Colour Story Challenge.....the colors were red, white and aqua...

This layout, when all was said and done, also turned into 3 more of her challenges, but I've decided to try to get a layout done for each challenge.....the more stash I use up and the more pages I get done the better......

So this last layout was done for Shimelle's Half Page Challenge.....

I so want to title this one "Mike Tyson Who?". I still might....it just seems fitting!

Anyway.....I hope that you all have a wonderful day!

Don't forget that today is the last day to submit your entries for the GDT call! I'll be posting the new GDT line up on Wednesday!

One more thing......don't forget to go and check out the new blog that I will be launching in September....right now we're doing a giveaway.....I'll pick a winner once we reach 100 followers.....
