My Last Scrap Off Layouts

I have liked being in this Scrap Off and I've gotten several pages done because of it, but it's now coming to an end. This was the last week of it. Here are my last 2 LO's for it. Just to warn you......I took these pictures at night and the lighting just wasn't working for pictures. And the layouts need to be posted by midnight tonight. So the pictures don't look good at all. But.......they are done and posted. So I guess that's what counts.

The first challenge of the week was to "scraplift" a layout from one of the other ladies in the group. I choose a LO that my good friend Becky had done. This is what I came up with. I used pictures of Debbie learning to ice skate last winter. I love these pictures! Or maybe it's the memories behind the pictures. =)

The other challenge was to use ribbon, chipboard, and metal. This is what I did.

ScrapOff Challenges For the Week

Here are my LO's for this week. I think there is only one more week of this challenge. I'm going to miss it.

The first challenge was to make a monocramatic layout. I couldn't use pattern paper and all the cardstock I used had to be in the same color "family". I could use different colored embellishments. I did a LO with some pictures Clara and Chris took when we were picking up bales a couple of weeks ago.
The next challenge was to do a LO with 25 of the same embellishment on it. I used pictures of Jacob driving our ancient 3 wheeler and giving the other kids rides. I put more than 25 square brads on it.

Glasses

Yesterday afternoon I had to go and pick up TWO pairs of new glasses for TWO different kids. Last Wed. I brought Jacob and Clara to the eye-guy because they had failed the vision test at school. Sure enough........they both needed glasses......Jacob for all the time and Clara for when she's reading. Yesterday we got to pick them up and......ohhhhhh......there was SOOOO much excitement at our house last night. Here they are showing their glasses off.

This Week's Layouts

The first of this week's scrapoff challenges was to do a layout with "I Wish for you...." I changed it around a little (after seeing that my friend Kathea did something similar) and did "My Prayer For You...." I used a picture of Jacob that was takend on Labor Day. Dave had just started a fire in the firepit at the lake when it started to pour. Jacob decided to use his body as a shield to protect the fire and he didn't give up until he was completely soaked and I yelled at him to come to the shelter.

This is the journaling I used:
When it started to rain right after Daddy started this fire, you were determined to protect it with your body. I pray that you will always persever...always do what you think is right...always put others needs above your own. Just like you did with that fire.

I also wrote the Bible vers 2 Peter 1:5-7 on it:
Make every effor to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, persevereance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love...this will keep you from being ineffective and unprductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
The second challenge was to use an old tool with new supplies. For this I used some older pictures of Debbie and made a simple LO us my Fascinator, which I've had for a couple years but have used maybe twice. The I used some new Fancy Pants rubons.

This Weeks Scrap-Off Challenges

The first challenge was to create a layout using only paper and one embellishment. That one embellishment could be used more than once. The other day I was outside with my camera and all of a sudden Chris started making the craziest faces. Then, when I started taking pictures he stepped it up a notch. I love these pictures of him!

The next challenge was to make a layout of a favorite thing. My favorite is kind of a stretch but I've been wanting to use Debbie's song in a layout and so I decided to say she was my favorite musician. The story behind this is that a couple weeks ago we were driving home from town, just the two of us. All of a sudden she starts singing. The song she was making up was absolutely adorable! I grabbed some paper and wrote down the words she was singing. Don't ask me how I did that while I was driving..........

Scrap Off - Week 2

Like I said last week......I am in a little challenge. Every week there are 2 challenges I have to do. Here are this week's pages for the challenge.

For this first one I had to have a border on all 4 sides of the page and embellish them. Here's my take on that challenge:

This next page was a pretty quick one........and you can tell. I'm thinking that I will probably redo this at some point in the future. But for now.....it's done. For this challenge, I had to use a certain sketch as a guide.

A Couple Pages

Today I completed two scrapbook pages for a challenge I am in. I need to do 2 pages a week for the month of September.

This first challenge I needed to use stamping (on the white paper), paint (around the circles), and 3 circles (I used 4).

For the second challenge I needed to embellish some brads (I used Stickles on them) and put them in a shape (I did a circle).
