Scrap Attack PageMaps Contest Entry

This layout was inspiring for these pictures of my little Jaxson playing in the rain puddles. I haven't worked this hard on one page (and having to locate all my supplies) in a long time. But the hard work paid off and I love the turnout.I used brads to accent the sun.  I chalked the cloud to give it definition.  I created the raindrops out of torn little pieces of my scrap blues. I added crystal effects to the puddle to give it more of a real and 3D effect. The raindrops are also pop-dotted to add dimension.  

The Color Room....fabulous...

Have you ever had time, space, supplies and NO motivation to scrapbook? Well that seems to be me lately. I spend more time on FB and the net in general than I do in my crop space. Well tonight, I decided to check some of my scrap links for some inspiration and ran across a new fave...the color room. Check out their first 13 posted challenges and pallettes. I think I have found my inspiration.....for tomorrow.

New Pagemaps Contest and this month the challenge has COLORS.

Can't wait to try it. I have seen penants everywhere in books and los online so finally have a good sketch to try it. Will have to use my annual 4th of July family pic as the focus. Will be tons of fun!

PageMaps June 2010 Contest Entry

Here is my entry for June 2010 Pagemaps Blog Contest. These are my 3 nephews-Nicolas, Turner and Jaxson and I just love this photo of the 3 of them....great LO.

My Crop Space....

I have always wanted my very own crop space in my house. U know, one that was not the kitchen or dining room table. One that I did not have to always clean up afterwards. Well, I finally got one. I have had it for about a year now and I think it is finally the functional space I need it to be.
I have a dry erase calendar, a neat little open cabinet, my roll around carts and my crop n -style. My shelf and my self-portrait. And did I mention...my really comfy rolling chair. :-)
