One Grand Day

 Hello, hello and happy June!
This month marks that summer is soon to begin and that makes me one happy girl!  I was born for the summer.  Bring it on!

With it being a new month that also means it's time for a new challenge at Challenge YOUrself.  We've got a mood board for you to follow.

Here is mine for inspiration.


One grand day indeed!  Actually, it was one grand weekend!  The 4th of July is my favorite holiday because we all get together and celebrate and the weather is always WARM! Being Grammie and Grandpa is the absolute best life!  We have truly been blessed with the best.

For this layout I gathered all of my 4th of July themed product, so it is a mixture.  I fussy cut the clouds from a printed paper.  Since it was a beautiful sunny day, I wanted to enhance that.  Added some glitter stars and a title, along with some miscellaneous bitties and done!  I really like my outcome.


Now it's your turn!  Go have some with this one.  There are unlimited amounts of possibilities!  I can't wait to see what you create.  Be sure to share with us at Challenge YOUrself before July 4 and to include YOU in a photo.  Thats a must.  

Thank you so much for stopping by!
Happy scrapping.

You are my one & only true love

 Hello my creative friends!
Happy May!
I'm just loving this warmer weather.  Bring it on!  I'm a summertime girl all the way.

This month at Challenge YOUrself our theme is butterflies. 
Create a layout using butterflies.  You know we've all got them.  
So, get digging through your product and use some up.

Here is mine for inspiration...


Aww!  Me and my love of 30 years.  That's a milestone!  So, we had a photoshoot done to celebrate.  All of the pictures turned out so good and we had a great time doing it too.

For this layout I used an old scrapbook kit from the Hip Kit Club.  The colors were perfect and it included butterflies, and just look at how colorful they are.  I just love when a layout comes together like this.  


Okay, now it's your turn!  Go get creative and share with us at Challenge YOUrself before June 4.  Be sure to include you in a photo, that's a must.

Thank you so much for stopping by!
Happy scrapping to you.

Little Moments Big Memories

 Happy April friends!
A new month means a new challenge at Challenge YOUrself.

Scallops is the theme this month.
Use them in any way you'd like.  Here is mine for inspiration.


Girl trips, girl dates, girl days... they are the absolute best!!  Me and my bestie living our best lives.  So much fun!

For this layout I used a variety of scallops.  My mixture of product was included in an older scrapbook kit by Hip Kit Club.  I'm actually pretty proud of myself for using a colorful background.  I always gravitate to using solid white.  


Ok, now its your turn!  Dig out all of your scallops and get creative.  Be sure to include YOU in a photo and share with us at Challenge YOUrself.  You have until May 4.  I'm looking forward to seeing your layout.

Thanks for stopping!
Happy Scrapping.

Happy Birthday

 Hello friends and happy March!
Just saying the word March gets me excited about spring.  We're over that hump!! It's slowly warming up and added on longer days.

This month's challenge at Challenge YOUrself is all about that "bling".  You can use pearls, rhinestones, sequins, crystals, etc...  Here is mine for inspiration.


Celebrating a birthday with one of my besties!  She is all about being bougie and we love that about her.
 So much fun was had by all.  Happy birthday my friend!

I threw this layout together with a variety of product.  Included in the bling are... rhinestones, sequins and shiny metals.  It was hard to pick up the sparkle in the photos.


Now it's your turn.  We love seeing your creative side and this challenge is perfect for that!  But remember to include YOU in a photo. That's a must to qualify for a fun prize.  Be sure to share with us at Challenge YOUrself before April 4th.

Thank you so much for stopping by!  Your time is much appreciated.
Happy scrapping.

Amore

 Happy February friends!
Did January feel super long?  Or was it just me?
Ugh, glad it's over.  Let's move this winter along quickly please.

With it being a new month we've got a new challenge up and running at Challenge YOUrself.  This one is about hearts.  Not surprising, right?  Happy Valentine's Day!  You can use as many or as few hearts as you like.  Here is mine for inspiration


I just love this man and I love Vegas.  I don't need the real Paris.  This is close enough for me.  It was just as romantic.

For this layout I used a very old heart die cut stencil for the background and added coordinating ephemera for embellishments.  I even found the perfect touch with the Eiffel Tower piece.  Also, changing my photo to B&W was pretty perfect too.

Now it's your turn!!  We love creativity so go have fun.  So many possibilities for this one, and who doesn't have a ton of heart product to use up?  Be sure to share with us at Challenge YOUrself by March 4th and also, don't forget to include YOU in a photo.  That's a must.


Thank you so much for stopping by.  I hope I have inspired you!
Happy scrapping.

Here is mine for inspiration...


For this layout I used a large variety of fitness ephemera given to me by a dear friend. She knows how passionate I am about my lifestyle, and this was the perfect gift and the perfect challenge to use them up!  I love my turnout. The perfect touch was using a B&W photo,

Now it's your turn!
