Kick This

The Challenge:
Make a layout using blue, green and orange

Normally, I think this would have been a hard thing to do, but these photos were just begging to be used for this color challenge!  They are from last year's summer soccer season.  Kayla, Kyle and Bryon all played on the same team.  It was pretty fun to watch!

The Oregon Coast

I did this layout for a double purge swap.  The idea is to be paired with another scrapper.  You each make two kits, one for you and one to mail out to the other person.  You then make a layout with your kit and the other person's kit.  This was my kit.  It's funny, two people that have the exact same supplies can make two very different layouts!



I chose to scrap the day at the coast with my family.  It had been quite a while since we went and did anything with just the four of us.  We had a great day!

You & Me

Well, I am jumping on board and linking a layout to Sketchy Thursdays.  I have not done this before.  We shall see if I can figure it out, lol.  I also used this one as my entry in the Issue Challenge this week too to do a layout in 15 minutes; so it is very simple.

King of the Mountain

The Challenge:
In honor of the Royal wedding, use a royal title and the royal jewels

I thought this was perfect for the photos of John's climb to the top of Mt Shasta.  It took them two days (they camped about halfway up the mountain) and was the hardest thing either he or his friend had done.  They left camp about 5am to summit.  The ranger had told them it would be like 8-9 hours to get there.  They got there in 4.  He said it was so steep!  The view was amazing even through some forest fire smoke.  He even called me from the top!  They are already planning their next trip :)

Play Games!

Yesterday I posted a layout I did during our double purge swap using my kit.  Today I am posting the layout I did using my partner's kit.  Boy, she sure did send me some fun stuff!  I loved the papers!  This is one of my favorite layouts.

I chose to scrap the fun and games from our Church in the Park day from last summer.  I had a blast this day!  We gathered together after service to share in a picnic and some games!  It was so fun to watch all the kids (young and old....er) join in.  I had a blast shooting photos.  It was the first time I used a banner too :)  We had a great time until the Stormtroopers showed up and shut us down ;)


















Here is Stacia's with the same kit

And here is Stacia's with the same kit.  It is so interesting to see the differences!

Splash! Defense of the Castle

The Challenge:
Use brown, green and blue for colors.  Use the embellishments hand stitching and stamps.  Must use "splash" in the title.

I admit, I had a hard time thinking of what to do with this challenge because of having to use "splash" in the title.  I decided that this works since the waves come splashing in and destroy the castle the fam made.  This was from our family trip to the coast last summer.  It was such a nice day and we had not been somewhere, just the four of us for a while.

I used Stickles to outline the splash and the Sew Easy tool to make the holes for the hand stitching.  The stamps are from Stampin' Up!
