wednesday's inspiration......

Good morning my Scraptastic friends!

Happy hump day!

I'm just popping in to share a couple of layouts from DT Heather Landry. Things have been crazy around here with the kids back at school and football and cheerleading, plus the new September kits coming out! I feel like I'm spinning in circles, I just hope that I don't get too dizzy! Enough about be, and onto some inspiration.

This first one is Heather's last layout from the Summer Star Kit.

Love the journaling on this one!

The second layout is from the Pyrus kit from last October!

monday's inspiration......

Good morning my Scraptastic friends!

I got a chance to scrap over the weekend, yay!!!! I don't know about you, but when I haven't scrapped in a couple of weeks, it takes me a bit to get back in the groove! I still haven't found my groove, but here's my new layout using the A Walk in the Garden kit and add-on (the September kits will be available for purchase on Thursday).......

the only thing that I added that was not in the kit is the flourish, I used my I-rock for that.

I also wanted to share my new wall art from What's Scrapping?

I used some of the October Afternoon Rocket Age line for this one!

I hope that you all have a wonderful day!

Color Challenge

Happy Thursday!! This week, I thought I would do a color challenge. I love color.. all different color. I don't have a favorite or not so favorite when it comes to scrapbooking. It is equal opportunity here. I let my photos dictate and go from there. You probably already noticed that my photos and paper match really well. A little OCD, I have been told I am!! Ha!

Both kits this month are full of color but very different color schemes. I went looking around on the net for more info and different color schemes than the standard and not do a specific grouping of colors. Here is one I found. I thought it would work well with what I wanted to do.Here is my take on it. 

I also thought I would play along with one of Heather's sketches this time 'round. I love how well the papers go with these photos of my sweet boy. I also incorporated some of the paint in the kit and painted my foam letters and a star.

So, my challenge to use is to try this tetradic color scheme of using four colors. I can't wait to see what you come up with.

Here are the other two challenges and some other links for you!

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.....

a little wednesday inspiration.....

Good morning my Scraptastic friends!

Happy hump day! I'm just popping in to share a couple of layouts I finished with the Summer Star kit and add-on.

As I was finishing this one up......my son came over to see what I was working on, and told me that it wasn't nice to say that he was from another planet......now he says that he really likes it because it's funny! Kids........

This is a picture of my hubby and my daughter last year at the Willy Wonka Christmas party at the Ritz Carlton.....the kids were so excited because they finally got to go......it sells out so fast every year.

That's all I got today, I hope that you all have a wonderful day!

Be sure to check back in tomorrow for the 2nd of the August weekly challenges!

Good morning my Scraptastic friends!

It's Sunday, a lazy day here today! I'm just popping in to share my new wall art from What's Scrapping?

It's a name plaque for my son.....like the one I made for my daughter!

I love the blues and greens....that was his only request!

Well, I'm off to get some housework done so that I can justify the scrapping that will for sure be happening here today!

brighter than sunshine challenge and a winner.....

Good morning my Scraptastic friends!

I hope that your week is going great so far.....my son has started football practice, poor guy. He loves it so much, but it's crazy hot outside. 

My daughter has been doing cheer-leading for the past few weeks, and she really seems to like it, except for the fact that she gets "really sweaty" her words!

I'd like to announce the winner for the July Challenges before I get to the first of the August Challenges.

Congratulations Linda you were chosen by random.org as the winner of our July Challenges.

Please send me your address to contest@scraptasticclub.com

Now let's get to the new challenge.

I was looking up an album to a movie that I like.....and when I saw the actual album cover, I wanted to do a layout based on it. Last Friday I picked up the pictures from our trip to the Charleston Aquarium, and when I was looking through the pictures...I was so excited to find some to "scraplift" the album cover. I even used one of the songs from the album as my title!

Here's my page.....

and here's my inspiration......

Your challenge, should you choose to accept it, is to take inspiration from this album cover and make your own album cover layout. For an extra entry into this month's drawing....use either one of the band's names or one of the song titles as the title of your page.

You will have until August 31st at midnight to submit your entries using the inlinkz tool below.

And here's the fabulous prize that you'll be playing for this month.....is the brand new Happy Day Collection Kit from Simple Stories.....I thought this was an appropriate prize since this month Scraptastic Club is officially 1 year old!
