I've had this picture since June just waiting to scrap it with the right layout and found it to use on 3 challenges. YEAH. First off I will enter it in the Use Your Words Challenge blog, the Sept 1st challenge was to use the word "Tough" and this picture was perfect to use the work in my title "Such a Tough Life". The I used the Saturday Steal layout at My Scraps and More forum and made my layout stealing the layout they posted for the challenge. And finally a favorite spot for me to go and do my girl layouts. It's About the Girls challenge blog, where the challenge just announced for today was to use lots of flowers and I think I covered that with various flowers, from the big die-cut flower down to even a couple of tiny flowers in the letters for the title. I think the flowers all over to me, show how Mylan took a nap in a shopping cart despite everything going around here while her parents were pushing her around while shopping at Cabella's, never a fast shopping trip for her Dad. :)Barbara Greenberghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07520174568918255896noreply@blogger.com16tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21178601.post-11503109204979406152013-09-14T16:53:00.000-05:002013-09-17T14:24:24.064-05:00Hi There !<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The challenge at <a href="http://itsabouttheboys.blogspot.com/">It's About the Boys </a> right now is Black and White plus one color.<br />
I love working with Black and White and would usually use more just of the B&W and the plus color as accent, but I wanted to pul the blue out of Gibson's shirt so decided to go with the blue as my background card stock and my plus color. I had made the black border strip with the white punch for a B&W swap in my yahoo group and this B&W photo mat was something I got in the swap. I just added some thin blue ribbon to accent the photo mat and the border strip. Excuse the color here, it really is close to the cardstock color but I guess because of the shine of the ribbon it just looks different here. Then just added the black and white flower with white brad center for a little more embellie, white glitter thickers for my title and white gel pen just for a little journaling on the mat.<br />
I'm also going to enter this in my yahoo group scrappin n chattin for our 52 week layout challenge.<br />

First off I love finding old family photos and these I figured out from the date on the picture April 1965 and the fact that Bruce and I were dressed up and I had on a corsage plus I recognized that we were out in the street in front of my Grandmothers house that this had to be Easter. 2nd after finding the pictures I love scrapping the old pictures and adding them to my albums. I can just imagine my grandkids as adults looking back through these and see their Grandmother and Uncle Bruce as teenagers.<br />
<br />
I used the newest sketch at www.myscrapsandmore.blogspot.com Sketch #46<br />
and also this will qualify on the forum challenges there for the Tuesday Trigger challenge to use a paper with numbers or letters on it.

It's another week and a new sketch is out at <a href="http://www.letsgetsketchy.blogspot.com/">Lets Get Sketchy</a> This was fun to work with.<br />
I wasn't sure at first about the circles, but then did something different and cut them out as a scallop<br />
and then used a black marker to color in the lower portion of them.<br />

I printed this picture ages ago after Kai's graduation but scrapped all but this one so finally a couple of years later getting it scrapped. It's a mad rush of colors and patterns, but I like it. I used the sketch at <a href="http://www.letscaptureourmemories.blogspot.com/">Lets Capture our Memories</a> blogspot, sketch #36. I will be keeping this sketch to use again, I really like it a lot. It's so much fun to use a sketch over and over and see how I change it some each time.<br />
Then I also followed the challenge on the forum at my scraps and more for this Thursday called Throwback Thursday where I had to use 3 different manufactures of collections at least a year old. So I pulled the background paper from the Basic Grey collection - Out of Print, then the paper w/ the pale green/blue polka dots are from Pink Paislee - Prairie Hill collection. The two chevron papers are from Cosmo Cricket - Clemetine collection, the I used some scrap of cardstocks for the circles and inked everything with Adirondick Espresso ink.Barbara Greenberghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07520174568918255896noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21178601.post-29600062364869098522013-09-13T09:06:00.000-05:002013-09-13T09:07:31.422-05:00New challenge at Scrapping 4 Fun Challenges<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I got these latest pictures of Mylan, I had give her this music book a long time ago but it became her favorite toy lately. So wanted to scrap these pictures. I used the awesome new sketch #98 at<br />
www.sketchabilities.blogspot.com I always love using doilys and scalloped edges so this went together easily for me.

I am so excited to say that I am on my first Design Team for a new scrapbook challenge site.<br />
<br />
http://www.scrapping4funchallenges.blogspot.com<br />
<br />
The site went live today with our first challenge. The first challenge was a color challenge with a recipe challenge included in it. I used all the colors in my layout and the recipe was to use:<br />
Flowers, mist or ink, title, journaling and dry embossing.<br />
This was probably the very first layout I've ever made using only cardstock. Didn't plan to do it that way, but just started by pulling out cardstock in all the colors in the combo so I could just find a starting point for maybe the background of the layout, but the I started working with it and like the look of only the card stock. With the exception of the center strip, the white is a wide ribbon and the light green is a strip of paper ribbon on top of it. I had tried to mist on the light blue and just wasn't showing up so I just pulled out a blue ink pad and added some ink. The dark blue triangle I used a Fiskars texture plate and hand rubbed the texture on it. Then just added my flowers and did faux stitching around everything and my first Design Team project was complete. So much fun. Hope to see a lot of you joining this fun and new challenge site.Barbara Greenberghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07520174568918255896noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21178601.post-73389149038560564132013-08-27T13:40:00.001-05:002013-08-27T13:40:36.053-05:00My First Day of School<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I love it when a layout idea goes together well. I searched and searched for this water paper knowing that I had a single piece left and FINALLY I found it. I think it pops behind the picture and just the right touch to the layout. I used Week 4 at LET'S GET SKETCHY. I actually got all 4 weeks of completed this month. I try every month but usually miss one. Plus since I was the August Spotlight this month I wanted to make sure and make them all. I do admit this sketch by Bev threw me a bit, bit I ended up making it work, I just used two pictures instead of one that the sketch showed.<br />
<br />
I didn't feel like getting my cricut going, well actually didn't want to clean the desk where it is, so looked in my Misc. embellie stash for a banner I could trace and just cut out. So I found some chipboard ones and was going to trace and cut in different papers and them remembered that FROSTED DESIGNS, has a challenge going this week to use Chipboard, so I looked and I had 5 pieces of chipboard banner and used 4 of them for background of my tittle. Then I used some glittery Thicker Chipboard letters on the title and then kept looking in my stash and from another package found this chipboard journal box and it was the right colors and used it for my journaling.<br />
<br />
Love it when everything comes together and I mixed and matched so many different collections and such.Barbara Greenberghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07520174568918255896noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21178601.post-73934361413794183762013-08-27T08:13:00.001-05:002013-08-27T08:13:21.694-05:00Another PL page<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I finished another PL page. This one is just from last week. My pages are sporadic to say the least.<br />
But I wanted to make a page for the latest challenge at http://week--2--week.blogspot.com<br />
The challenge was to have food pictures on your PL page. Last week was perfect for this as I had taken pictures while out to lunch on Tuesday and then Saturday when we grilled outside.<br />
This is my favorite sandwich, a breaded tenderloin. It doesn't look as big here as in person. I had already cut the sandwich in half and was about to fold it over to fit on the bun. I need to remember to always go on Tuesdays because that is when its their special and only $5.99 and comes with a side too.<br />

I made this layout using Sketch #119 from http://wwwsketchesinthyme.blogspot.<br />
I really liked the sketch and using a longer title than I usually do. The papers I used were just 3 different patterned papers I picked a single sheet up one time while shopping at Michaels. I used a very thin double mat under the pictures, purple and then white and also a thin white mat under the main patterned paper and the circle. Not my usual go to colors but I must have liked them at the store and then I thought they would go good with the colors in this picture.<br />

I got this picture on FB awhile back. I think this was taken on Addisyn's first birthday.<br />
I tried a new paper pack I got last Christmas from my SIL and I really hadn't tried much of it before.<br />
But I pulled out 3 different sheets and started putting this together following the latest sketch at<br />

Kai's birthday was last month and this bad Grandma is just getting around to scrapping some of the pictures I got. I loved sketch #43 at My Scraps and More blog and new it would be perfect for these 2 pictures of Kai out with his Dad picking out his new bike for his present. When I first picked the papers to use I thought I would cut down the background paper I used from the K&Co Confetti pad and put it on a solid cardstock. But I really liked what looked like yellow inking around the edges so I just pulled some dark green cardstock from my scrap stash and cut thin pieces and made a frame inside the background paper. Then used the same cardstock to mat the pictures. I used some scraps I had from another piece of the Confetti collection to fill my opposite two squares. For my title I had a 6x6 piece of paper that was covered in Happy Birthday in different fonts and just picked this one and cut it out and then matted on the same card stock and used popdots on it to give it a little dimension.Barbara Greenberghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07520174568918255896noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21178601.post-46152775449351754872013-08-21T07:58:00.001-05:002013-08-21T07:58:25.848-05:00Before & After<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I'm going to enter this layout in two challenges. I had no idea Mylan's hair had gotten this long till Susan sent me this picture the other day when she got it cut. I thought it was so great to have the before and after picture and printed it immediately so I could scrap it.<br />
<br />
I found the <i style="font-weight: bold;">perfect sketch </i>to use with the <b><u>Let's Get Sketch</u></b>y - Week 3 sketch. It just happens to be my favorite weekly go to place for sketches. And I happen to be the Spotlighted there for August. Yeah me. :) You can find the latest sketch at<b><u> Let's Get Sketchy</u></b> here.<br />
<br />
http://letsgetsketchy.blogspot.com/2013/08/augustweek-3-sketch-challenge-at-lgs.html<br />
<br />
Next the latest challenge at <b><u>Whimsical Twist</u></b> where the challenge is to share your favorite layout about a favorite thing or person.<br />
This became my favorite for many reasons. Because of the picture like I said above and of course my favorite Granddaughter and then because, I was brave enough to mix so many colors and patterns. Then mostly because I used all scraps but my background paper. <br />
I've been trying to pull out paper collections at random and just using them, no questions asked. This was an old collection. Basic Grey - Lauderdale and I really didn't have that much left of it, but a lot of scraps of various sizes. Even the matting behind the picture was cardstock scraps. So I made it work and was very happy with the result. Here is the link for <b><u>Whimsical Twist.</u></b><br />

I love this picture of Gibson while eating ice cream, his Mom posted it on FB and said, "this is why we eat ice cream outside." I used sketch #97 at Sketchabilities so I'll be entering it there and I'm also going to enter it at the About a Boy August challenge for anything goes.

I found these old High School pictures and just had to make a layout. My Mom made my dress and I loved it. My date was John Sunderland and I have a feeling his Mom also made his jacket so it would match my dress, John's Mom was my Mom's hairdresser so we knew her well. I'm sure at the time we looked great, but looking at John's jacket now I have to laugh. I think the beige paisley paper I used pretty much matches the jacket. I used Sketch #42 at My Scraps and More sketch blog challenge.<br />
I used a blue/grey cardstock to go with wall color in the pictures and all the other brown papers were from my stash of scraps.Barbara Greenberghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07520174568918255896noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21178601.post-91683156492451697332013-08-18T12:45:00.001-05:002013-08-18T12:45:30.588-05:00Birthday Card<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Sshhh, don't look Mylan, this will probably be the birthday card I sent to you this year.<br />
I combined challenges for this card. Over at Boys Rule Scrapbook Kits blog the challenge they just posted is called Over the Edge and you have to have some of your elements had to be hanging over the edge of your page. I just got these pop-up balloons as a hostess gift in a swap and decided they would be perfect to use having the balloons "fly" off the card. I'm also entering this card in my yahoo group Scrappin N Chattin for our 52 week card challenge which is "torn" I used dark blue cardstock as my card base and then tore all the way around some balloon paper I had. The Happy sentiment is an ATC I got in a swap. It was an ATC for the letter H, but I thought it would work great as a birthday card sentiment. Who can't be happy on your b'day and with balloon all over the place.Barbara Greenberghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07520174568918255896noreply@blogger.com1
