And Fall Is Here

It was 80 yesterday and today it's fall! Just like that! BAM!

We are scrapping this week same time same place. Here is the weekly inspiration piece. A scene from Pottery Barn. Still some green but the colors are clearly starting to turn.

Ok so this week I would like to issue a scrap challenge. Whatever scraps are sitting on your workspace from this last week(I will clean mine off sorting the giant box today). Use those scraps to create a card or layout. Only scraps, you can add card stock for the background and once the base is built you can add one embellishment from your stash!

Hope to see you Wednesday!

Scrap Challenge Wednesday

Ok DIANNE had a FABULOUS IDEA! Next Wed we are going to do a Challenge! Here is the deal. Each person that wants to play makes up a Baggie of items from paper to embellishments. We then switch and create something with a baggie that is not their own! This sounds like fun and we will have a bit of time to prepare between now and next week! Ok back to our regularly scheduled silence until Monday's inspiration piece!

We're BAAAAACK!!!

We're back we arrived late last night and we're getting things put away and cleaned up. Someday I might have a room that looks like this! Isn't it lovely? So since I'm dreaming this will be our inspiration piece for this week!

Anyway we are scrapping this week can't wait to see everyone it's been a couple of weeks now!

Bring On The Sun!!!!

Summer Vacation has Officially started as of 45 min ago!!!!!! How stinking exciting! Ok so what does that mean to us? Scrapping is even more important!!! We are scrapping this Wed. of course and above is a little piece of summer inspiration! How happy are these colors. Maybe we can entice the warm weather and sun to come out and play?

See you Wednesday!

Holiday Challenge - No Scrapping This week

So this week there will be no scrapping. My house is contaminated with the stomach flu. First we thought it was just Abs getting over that nasty cold she had..... But alas she went straight into the stomach flu and now Dave has it. ICK.

Anyway I didn't want to skip the challenge so I encourage you to make something holidayish and to give you a little inspiration I've brought you more cookies from TwoSugars. Their cookies are amazing! I think the penguin cookies from earlier in the year were from here as well. I couldn't resist the bunnies.

Or the beautiful Egg platter for Easter.

Of course if you don't want to make something Easter you certainly do not have to you can choose to be inspired by the colors or the way the cookies are on the platter. Or even just the ribbon. Hopefully it will just inspire you to create a pretty this week!

Hope everyone is well! Take care.

New Month New CHallenge!

I know it's going to be April Fool's Day and I should do something clever. However at the moment I'm not feeling very clever. Sooooo I'm going to go with things that make me happy instead. These colors make me happy, make me wish for spring to be here now and all this gloom to go away. In that line, I challenge you to create something using these happy happy colors! One or all of them it's your choice.

Back to scrapbooking as normal this week!
