{he's right on target...

I actually remembered to take a pic of the page I got inspiration from...

{teach 'em young...

This is a pretty quick and simple layout. The Martin archery piece was one of those "static truck stickers" that I got when I got my new bow. So, I ran it through my Xyron 510 and it worked awesome because it doesn't show any adhesive marks! WooHoo!

{chase...

...this is another one from a layout I saw somewhere and loved the design. just changed it to fit my pic and the papers I have. gonna try to get better about remembering where I found each inspiration.

{v.day par.t...

{Day 30 of 31 day challenge...
Moxxie stickers & papers, SU cardstock, Thickers (of course), white gel pen, misc. buttons, and ric~rac.
I had to get creative with the title letters because I didn't have a "y" left. No worries! I've restocked the Thickers since then! :0)

{Mr. hootie...

Made this little guy last night and decided he needed to go shoppin with me today... so I sewed him to my shirt...okay, I think the felt is going to my head...time to put it away for awhile...

{Why not...

{Day 29 of 31 day challenge...button challenge...
As you can tell from my header...I love buttons! The more vintage looking the better. I love to look for them at yard sales, auctions, etc. All the buttons shown in the jars {in my header} I found at an auction for $8...god bless the little old lady who saved them for so many years!

{are you up for next month's challenge???

Okay, ladies here are the challenges for Feb. I'm makin it easy on ya with only 2challenges {layouts} per week. :0) I am so often behind the camera that I am rarely in my kids' scrapbooks. For a couple of reasons, one: I prefer to take the pics and two: I usually don't like any pics of me {ugh}. So I am making it my goal to scrap things about myself this month and I'm draggin ya'll with me. :0)
I am going to be drawing one prize per week out of those who do both challenges as well as a prize at the end of the month drawn from those who did them all. {Nothing huge, but its always fun to win some freebies!}

Week #1: 2/1- 2/7 "Show me your Style"
1} This one is easy! Show me one of your very 1st scrapbook pages. You know, one of those really good ones from when you 1st started scrapbooking! So easy! All, you have to do is take a pic!

2} Okay, now show me your style today! -a layout of any theme, just make it something fresh and your "today style".

Week #2: 2/8-2/14 "Show me your Space"
1} Scrap your creative space! ~I know some of you already have pics! ;)

2} Scrap where you live! ~It can be your house, your town, your state, etc. You choose!

Week #3: 2/15-2/21 "Then & Now"
1} Scrapbook a picture of you "then" ~as a baby, child, young adult, etc. Or how about you and your hubby "then"?

2} Yep, you guessed it! Show us the "now". Who you are "now", you and your hubby "now", etc.

Week #4: 2/22-2/28 "Getting to know you"
1} Scrap something about yourself that that not everyone knows. ~an instrument you play, a hobby, your job, etc.

2} Scrap about your "other half". Your hubby, hubby-to-be, etc.

WooHoo! Are you all pumped up as much as me? I hope so! Leave me a comment and let me know if you're interested in participating.

{Okay, so here is a layout just to get ya'll going, or laughin one of the two. :0) Yep, that's me in my college days...

{what a crazy night...

{Day 27 of 31 day challenge...
Okay, so thought everyone would get a good kick out of this one. It is a twofer for me cause it's for the Artfreckles challenge this week too.
