That Look

 It's April, my friends!

Spring is here and that makes me so happy.  

It's also my birthday month so let the celebrating begin. Ha!

This month at Challenge YOUrself we want you to create a layout of your favorite animal.  We all have a favorite, right?  Mine is a cat.  Yes, I'm that crazy cat lady and give me all the kitties!!

Here is my inspiration...

Omgoodness! How cute is this?  Grandkids and kitty cats?  It's the perfect combination!  Even though they are not as crazy for cats as I am, I can always count on them to join in on the fun.  And yes, this Cat Cafe is for real.  We love to visit as often as possible and it's not far us either.

For this layout I used the Chloe collection by Bella Blvd.  The theme was obvious, and the colors were perfect. I was also able to bash some stash as well.  

Okay, now it's your turn!  This one is a lot of fun.  So many possibilities too.  Be sure to include YOU in a photo and share with us at Challenge YOUrself before May 4th.  I'm excited to see your outcome.

Thank you so much for stopping by!

Happy Scrapping,

 Hello friends and happy March!

Ahh, just the sound of saying March warms my heart.  Meaning, spring is just around the corner.  Even though our winter has been surprisingly great so far, I want warmth and sunshine!

This month's challenge is ready and waiting for you at Challenge YOUrself.  It's a mood board and it's a pretty one.  Here is my inspiration.

Jamaica.  Our first vacation together since before the pandemic.  What a much-needed getaway it was.  Lots of sunshine, lots of beach walking, lots of good eats and treats and mostly lots of quality time together.  

For this layout I used an older scrapbook kit by Hip Kit Club.  It was a tropical theme, and the colors were perfect for the mood board. 

Now it's your turn.  Go search your product for these pretty colors and let your creativity take over.  Go have fun with it!  Be sure to share with us at Challenge YOUrself by March 4 for your chance to win.  Also remember to include YOU in a photo, that's a must.  I'm excited to see your layout.

Thank you for stopping by!

Costa Rica

 Happy February friends!

A new month means a new challenge at Challenge YOUrself.  

What was one of your favorite memories from 2023? That's this month's theme.  Get thinking about it and then get to creating it.  Here's mine for inspiration...

This was an absolute trip of a lifetime for me!  I am a follower and huge fan of Kacy Allensworth.  She is known as the Calorie Deficit Queen.  She arranged a ladies fitness retreat in Costa Rica, and I was all over it!  I didn't hesitate to join in.  Meeting her in person was the highlight of the year for me, and visiting beautiful Costa Rica was incredible!  It was all more than I ever imagined.

For this layout I used an older scrapbook kit by Hip Kit Club.  It was a tropical theme and all the papers and embellishments were perfect.  I liked how I was able to use my Costa Rica sticker as the title.  It was spot on!

Now it's your turn!  Go have some fun creating and reliving your favorite memory.

Be sure to share with us at Challenge YOUrself before March 4 for your chance to win!  Also, remember to include YOU in a photo.  That's a must.  I'm excited to see what you create.

Organize - OLW 2024

 Happy New Year!!

Wow! Another year down just like that.  

I'm looking forward to making this year the best one yet.

For this new year's first challenge at Challenge YOUrself it's that "one little word" created by Ali Edwards.  The concept is to choose a word that's important to you.  A word to focus on, to live with and to reflect upon throughout your daily life for the entire year. It can be a very powerful thing.

My chosen word is "organize" and here is my layout for inspiration.

 

I do not like clutter and I feel that there is a place for everything.  If not, then it has to go.  It seems I have started to accumulate unnecessary items and now it's now time to purge and reorganize.  I'm going to start with the kitchen and move room to room.  It will be a great winter project.

For this layout I just used a mixture of miscellaneous items from my stash.  I'm forever trying to dwindle it down.  For my quote, I found it on Google and just printed the image.  I love how it turned out.  Now to actually follow through and stick to my organizing plan.  

Now it's your turn!  Like I said, this can be as powerful as you want to make it.  However, make the creating part fun.  Pick that word and get it on paper.  Be sure to share with us at Challenge YOUrself for your chance to win a great price.  Tons of inspiration to view as well.

Thank you for stopping by!

Happy scrapping to you.
