Sometimes the path you're on is not as important as the direction you're heading.  ~Kevin Smith

 




 

I decided to use a self photo and I would like to see you do so as well but it isn't compulsory.

Also I would like to see a dark background with bright bold colors that pop off the page.

I Here what I used, black cardstock,bright magenta, and orange. With Yellowand purple

 



"ME" 

 

Now this Layout, we had to scrap using non girly or boyish colors.

So , this was really hard for me since I have 2 adorable girls, I always 

use flowers and pinks and whites reds. Anyways, I did just the opposite, I used browns

and beige's. And YES a truck.

 



ZOOM,ZOOM, ZOOM

 

Here is Jennifer at 6 months in baby walker.I look back on this photo , thinking how small she was, and then next month she will turn 21, wow where has time gone.

 

For my last Layout is my word challenge for the month over at soul-scrappers.ning.com

 

 

" Live and work but do not forget to play, to have FUN in life and really enjoy it." By. Eileen Caddy


 

 
Life is full of stress.  We all have things that must get done, things we have to do.  Sometimes finding balance between all things can really take its toll.  When we finally slow down & breathe, we realize that life doesn't always have to be so hard, so busy.  Sometimes if we just look for the FUN in it, life feels that much better...to find the enjoyment, the playfulness, the whimsical, and sometimes the flamboyant in it.  Whether it is just a moment or dare I say it, a lifetime.... find the FUN and show us what you GOT!

So my word this month is FUN.

 

GIRLS WANNA HAVE FUN!

 

In this layout I did quite few different techniques.

I use my cricut to cut my word fun out then I dry embossed it. Then I did some masking on the words fun and play.

Well, I think I have cover everything  I did this pass month. Until next time.

Have a fantastic week.

Hugs

Mary

Home for the Holiday challenge...

I'd submitted this layout for our latest challenge over at From Screen 2 Scrap. The inspiration this month is featuring the movie poster from "Home for the Holidays.

        

Extra bonus points of 6 points

we had to add the following....

1.) Journal in white gel pen..

         2.) use the word Home in out title..

              3.) use a photo of a family gathering....

Here shows photos of my family at Christmas gathering.
On the top photo i have a photo of my parents.
Then we have a photo of me and my husband Kelly, the next
is my 2 sisters and brother-in-law. Last of all the family Roasted turkey.


Moving right along, we will to my challenges over Soul Scrappers, yes my favorite
challenge site, where I do most of my challenges.

This was Marisa's challenge called a "Cooking Challenge", we had to go by a recipe.
Which in included 3 different patterned paper, 2 ribbons, 2 buttons,
lots of layering, also layering behing the photo.

Here is what I came up with... 


 
"Ms Jenn"
My journaling reads:
"Never be  afriad to sit a while and think."

Next we will move to a technque challenge done by Gwen.
what we had to do was fairly simple challenge we had to use some type of torned paper on our submission.

Here is what I did:

"Pumpkin Time"

I had folded my autumn paper in half and torned the center to make it look like a picture frame. I did some handcutting on the scarecrow. The craved pumpkins I had cut out and added a spider for a spookey touch.





Next we have a challenge done by Shazza, her challenge was the Song /Lyric.
The song was TELEPHONE LINE.
by ..Electric Light Orchestra.
What we had to do was use a word or a couple of words or sentence or even the song title on our page. Since it's such a long song, I just post a fews lines of the song.
Telephone Line

Hello. How are you?Have you been alright, through all those lonely lonely lonely lonely lonely nights
That's what I'd say. I'd tell you everything
If you'd pick up that telephone yeah yeah yeah

Hey. How you feelin?
Are you still the same?
Don't you realize the things we did, we did, were all for real, not a dream?
I just can't believe

They've all faded out of view yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Doowop dooby doo doowop doowah doolang
Blue days black nights doowah doolang

Here is my take on her challenge:

 Hello! HOw are you?
This is my oldest daughter Jennifer playing in the phone, then I added a picture of her grandmother. To me it looks like she is in a deep conversation with grandmother.


Moving on to our next challenge we have the famous Quote challenge by Marisa,
her quote this month come from Audrey Hepburn.
I believe in pink
I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner
I believe in kissing, kissing a lot
I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong
I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls
I believe that tomorrow is another day and
I believe in miracles. - Audrey Hepburn

Since it was it Breast cancer awareness in October we were add Pink to our layout.

Here is my take on her challenge.

As the quote say I believe in miracles. Back in 2010 we had a scare with Jennifer
when she done to a Doctor's appointment and found that she a lump on her breast, all sort things goes thru your mind, thank the dear Lord it wasn't cancerous.

 Here is my enrty for JAnes challenge at Soul Scrappers;
Here is the Jane's info's

When I am pressed for time or just want to scrap without thinking hard over the process, I often head to one of my "often used and always work" page designs. One of these is using a 10in square and then configuring 6x4 or 4x6 pictures and blocks of other size papers (4x4 - 2x12 - 1x12 - 2x4 etc) inside that frame. The variations on this theme are endless. You can swap out the 6x4 or 4x6 pictures for paper or journaling blocks, use pictures cut down to 4x4 or even 2x2 or place the 10in square onto a backing paper to frame the design. It is a simple, effective and time saving technique for getting pages done quickly - it is also a wonderful way to use up paper pieces from your scrap basket.

So your challenge is to start with a design in a 10in square on a 12x12 page and play with what you can put inside it to create your layout. Be creative - how you do this is up to you. Here are just a few the many variations on this theme - there are literally dozens of ways you can go about this.


Now is my take on the sketch:

                                           " Part 2: Sculpture Tour of Eau Claire"
                                       

for contest #2

SENSE-ational Summer contest # 2 - the SIGHTS of SUMMER.

Please read all instructions before you start!

The SIGHTS of summer are different for everyone. Some think of the beach or a lake or big vacations. Others may think of bbq's, the tennis or cricket. Here is a list of more sights during summer......lightening storm, beach volley ball, convertibles with the top down, going to soccer camps, wearing summer clothing like dresses, shorts, bathers and thongs.

So for this challenge please scrap a Summer SIGHT that appeals to you.

Hand cutting is one of my favourite ways to incorporate texture into a layout! It is very easy, and the only tool you need is a pair of scissors and a little patience to make your layout more dimensional.

You can do Digital, traditional or Hybrid...whatever takes your fancy :)

Here are your details:
THEME: What SIGHT(s) mean SUMMERTIME to you? Created layout must be about the SIGHTS of SUMMER!

TECHNIQUE: Handcutting must be present on your layout.

ADDED CRITERIA for Bonus points
1. Buttons = 1pt
2. 2 x different pp's (patterned papers) = 2pts
3. Two Word title = 3 pts
4. A Banner = 4 pts - 10 points in total

Here is my take on this challenge:

                                                           "WILDRIDE.
I normally don't do bright colorful pages, but these photos were met to be bright.
So here is my Sense-ational summer SIGHTS.

I hope you enjoy my monthly layouts. Until next month.
Have a Happy Thanksgiving.

are braver that you believe, stronger that you seem,

and smarter, than you think, but the most important

thing is Even if we're apart...I'll always be with you...."

Winnie-the-Pooh

Here is my sample I did for word challenge.
I wrote this little poem for my page. Which reads:

"With screeching,
giggles in our

my peace comes
while Jennifer
snoozes away."
I had found this picture of Jennifer ,I want to say she is about
3 years.I couldn't resist on scrapping this for her album.


Next up we have the quote Challenge:
We  had to use  a phrase on our page
I used the word Laugh .


Walk to the edge

Listen hard

Practice wellness

Play with abandon

Laugh

Choose with no regret

Continue to learn

Appreciate your friends

Do what you love

Live as if this is all there is. - Mary Ann Radmacher

Here is my entry for the quote challenge.

Moving along our next challenge is:
Ebony and Ivory

WHITE & SHADES OF BROWN, with a few touches of BLACK.
 Here is my take on that challenge. Now don't laugh when you see this picture of me. Granted it was taken back in 1983. I was with my younger sister Jane. It was taken down at Wisconsin Dells  at one of those Old Fashion Photography Studios.

Family stories make valuable heirlooms

Now we have our sketch challenge by Debi.

We had to add some buttons, stamping, and stickers;

added to this sketch:

Here is my take on this sketch:

"Study Buddies"

For my stamping I stamped the ABC's then added

some school stickers, and for my buttons I added

the Apple and letter A and number 2 buttons.

Can you believe how small Hannah is in this photo.

She was in 2nd grade.

 Moving on to the last challenge of September

we have the Song/Lyric challenge.


You must use a word....OR a couple of words...OR a sentence OR even the song title on your page

DRIVE by the CARS

who's gonna tell you when
it's too late
who's gonna tell you things
aren't so great
you can't go on
thinking nothing's wrong
who's gonna drive you home tonight

who's gonna pick you up
when you fall
who's gonna hang it up
when you call
who's gonna pay attention
to your dreams
who's gonna plug their ears
when you scream

you can't go on
thinking nothing's wrong
who's gonna drive you home tonight

who's gonna hold you down
when you shake
who's gonna come around
when you break

The sentence I used was....."Who's gonna pick you up when you fall"

Can you believe this is Hannah climbing over a fence. She had gone to a football game
and she and her girlfriend didn't want to pay to get in,so make a long story short, she climbed over the fence.

Until next time which I say about 3 weeks, I leave this special message to all my scrapbook friends. A silly little poem about our scrap book lives.

                                     Just A' Scrappin"

How time does fly when having fun,
And so very little housework done.
My mind is busy as can be
Cause I'm just a'scrappin', don't you see?

Thinking of layouts all day long
Paper everywhere; supplies seem gone
Can't find anything, woe is me...
I'm just a'scrappin', don't you see?

Dishes piled high but can't quit now
Got a brainstorm and a wrinkled brow
But I'm content as I can be
Cause I'm just a'scrappin'

Have a wonderful day........

Mary
