Scrapbooking Challenge # 24

"Use products from a blind grab

into your stash"

 This was an unusual challenge for me!

I tend to spend the most time trying to 

match everything carefully and planning

out my layout with all my embellishments and

paper in an arranged pile...

This you just grab and go! 

But it was actually a lot of fun to try to make it

 look like something I would want in my 

scrapbook:)

Sketch #2 Stripes of Gold

I'm continuing on with my fun

fashion sketches...

and this character has kind of become

my alter ego...she's me but not...

and I like her:)

You may be seeing more of her in the weeks to come!

Scrapbooking Challenge #10

"Finish a Page in 30 minutes"

I had no idea how long it took me to do a page, but

I had no problem finishing in 30 minutes...

sometimes it pays to just lay it out and get it done!

I like it just as much as some I spend an hour on...

Applesauce Donuts

Recipe from All Recipes

I made them Gluten Free by simply 

using GF flour, no other substitutions were needed.

Reuse, Recycled Wedding to Great Room

In reusing some of the wedding purchases, I

was able to add some lighter touches

in this room too. 

I also used a technique from Pottery Barn

and turned all my books with the spines

in and the page side out.

This gives a lighter and more uniform appearance to 

the shelves...however if you are a book lover like me

it creates a problem as I have to turn 5 books

around to find the right one...so it may not stay this

way for too long!

"Design a layout using children's artwork" 

I used a painting that Brielle did and cut out a tree 

from the paper. 

A great way to use one of her many 

pictures and keep a memory from it too.
