Scrap Challenge

As guest designer over at BPM this month, I am hosting a scrapbooking challenge. Everyone can enter so go check it out!! Hopefully it will inspire you to use up some older stash and use up some of those supplies. You will need to use:

1 -- One unusual shape -- circles and squares don't count here (I used the shape of the sun)
2 -- Two pieces of chipboard
3 -- At least three different manufacturers of paper (I used Bo Bunny, Basic Grey, and Pink Paislee)
4 -- At least four brads

Here is my creation:

Best Day Ever....

According to my son, Friday was his "Best Day Ever". He moved up a level in his swimming lessons, got pokemon cards, AND lost his very FIRST tooth!! What is better than that?!?! I was a little skittish when I had to "pull" the tooth but as it turns out, it was so loose that all I had to do was grab it with two fingers and out it fell. He is my toothless, yet handsome little man.

#100

Actually due to a miscount, this layout was actually #101! I not only met the goal of 100 layout between Memorial Day and Labor Day, I surpassed it in early August! This isn't a great photo but really, what do you expect at 2:30 in the morning!!

So much Productivity

I have just returned from a weekend away with my scrappy friends. We had so much fun at the CK convention! Late nights and many laughs...we did manage to get a lot of shopping, oops I mean scrapping, done too. I will post some of those later in the week. In the meantime, Back Porch Memories posted the Designers first layouts with their new kits! You must go check them out....www.backporchmemories.com. The kits are amazing. You can opt for either one paper line (Solo) or a mixture of three lines (Medley). I was given the opportunity to design with their Solo line -- Basic Grey's June Bug. I have more to show you but here is a first look at my creations:
