ScRaP SiStaZ Challenge 15

Phew~ I was getting into the groove of cleaning up/cleaning out and I almost forgot to post the Challenges tonight! I need a week to get things in order here at home... file papers, clean out old files, dust off my summer clothes and shoes, scrapbook, etc. Not going to happen anytime soon! Hope you all are doing well with whatever goals or initiatives you are taking on right now... keep on keeping on... squeeze in some scrap time!

CHALLENGE 15 - EVENT(S)* Dig out the sports pictures... either yours, your significant other, or your child's... could be any sport... baseball, soccer, gymnastics, cheerleading, football... you name it - it could fit with this page...
* Love the enlarged pictures... not sure about the wavy title... those of you that know my scrapbook 'isms (crooked anything), so it may force me out of my element, but I'm pretty sure the title will end up straight on my page... but those of you that are daring--- take out those wavy rulers from Creative Memories and go to town with the wavy title!

CHALLENGE 15 - FEELINGS
* My first thought is to have someone take a picture(s) of YOU at work... whether it is at an office building or at the kitchen sink (SAHMs)... doing the thing that puts you in your element... may be the pride you get from a freshly cleaned shower or newly vacummed floors (with the lines in the carpet)... figure out where you are in your element (at your best!) and scrap it! This ones about YOU... :)

Mega-Meet is next week... hope to see most of you sometime during or after the big day!! Happy Scrapping!

P.S. I'll get the links to everyone's pages done soon... didn't forget!!

ScRaP SiStaZ Challenge 14

Hello SiStaZ!! Sorry for the day-delay in posting the challenge~ I had one hell-of-an-assignment that is due this week in my class and a classmate and I worked exceptionally late on it last night. It's off of my to-do list now! Yippee! Here are this week's Challenges:

Challenge 14A - Events















This is a two-page spread that I took in two different snapshots... bonus points to the person who finds an ice cream cone on a Cricut cartridge... I think I may know... hold on... let me look... YEP! I was right... Doodlecharms... both an ice cream cone and a popsicle! That's my one and only tip for this layout! LOL!

Challenge 14B - Feelings
** My personal idea is that I'm going to take a picture of Derek *tonight* with his SUPER long hair... it's longest it has been since high school, I'm sure! My title will be something about his hair and the story about why he let it grow longer (my request... but NOT as long as it is right now!).
** I'm sure you have a great snapshot that unlike mine probably doesn't have a story behind it... but you love it... get it out... make an 8.5x11 layout. Simple!

Off to spend a few minutes with my long-haired man! Have fun and I can't wait to see the layouts!!

ScRaP SiStaZ Challenge 13

Hello ladies~ back and at 'em! Can't believe the whirlwind of a vacation we went on... an unbelievable experience, but a double edged sword because there are so many projects I want to get caught up on home... one being these Scrap Challenges. I assure you I have not abandoned the mission, just pushed it down the list. I WILL do them (all), it will just be sporadic. Believe it or not, I'm still trying to get my childhood pictures in order (lucky me... my aunt gave me tons of pictures of my childhood that came from my grandma's house~ I treasure them!) and some others. I'll get there. As we know... scrapbookers are in a constant state of organization! Love all the pages that have been created so far and thanks for being such inspirations to each of the other members in this group... love ladies supporting other women in life's journey... whatever it may be!

Challenge 13a - Event*All of the event pages to this point have been two-pages, but I love this layout. If you are committed two-page scrapbooker I think you could easily turn this into a two-page layout.
*I'm envisioning a pages just like in the pictures... your children playing a water (gun) game in the yard on a hot summer day... maybe they are playing with a garden hose... or perhaps water balloons
*Another idea is family game night... do you have pictures of your family having a Monopoly or Uno showdown? Perfect for this layout challenge.
*Or use the bright colors to document and fun summer activity

Challenge 13b - Feelings
*I love this layout, especially the big letters for the title (Hello, Cricut!). My idea is to use a picture of Derek wearing either his summer "fishing" hat (He doesn't fish, but it looks like a fishing hat to me) or the Detroit "D" baseball hat he wears everywhere (he's actually on his second or third one because the previous hats became so worn and dirty).
*You could use any story of a particular clothing piece someone in the family loves to wear or what about your significatn other's work uniform or their usual work outfit... or how about a particular sweatshirt or t-shirt you always wear (Amy, I'm think your pink Crocs if you haven't already scrapped about them)
*Take a look around your house... maybe there is one thing that moves you... use it as the subject of this page!

Happy Scrapping!
