Scrap Pack Challenge Page

This is the page I did for the Scrap pack Challenge here in Denton with the First Born Group. We were to create a page using five random items; a tongue depressor, binder ring, a piece of cork, a slide mount and slide frame. If you look you can find all the items. I really like this page of Andrew at John Ross house in Rossville Georgia.

Bo Bunny Christmas Card Holder

I I just finished this Christmas Card Holder from BoBunny. I am really tickled by this and I think everyone who takes this class in November will really enjoy this project. There are five sections for cards, so should be big enough for most people to use. There are plenty of options for additional embellishment as well.

Pumpkin Hunt 2009

Ray and I took the kids out to the pumpkin farm this afternoon to get pumpkins. Wyatt kept telling us he wanted to get the biggest one there. The biggest ones there were going for $40.00, so Papa steered him towards more affordable ones. Wyatt kept picking out a pumpkin and telling us this was the biggest one. Andrea just looked bemused. It was so much fun. We ended up a version of the three bears. A big one for Wyatt, a medium one for Ray, a small one for me and a little tiny one for Andrea. We had a lot of fun.

Basic Grey Explosion Box

This is an explosion box made with Basic Grey Wisteria patterned paper. The class is going to be November 3rd at Scrapbook Garden. I love the Wisteria paper, it is a romantic type of paper and you aren't going to be using it for a mans page. I made this box for the wedding pictures I took last Friday. The album suggestion was for twelve months of garden photos, so there are a lot of options. The box is simple, but the embellishment options are great. In addition to the paper the kit comes with rub ons and bling. I love bling.

My next few posts will be about projects for the November classes. I better get working on the next one.

Wedding Photos

My friend Connie got married last Friday at the Keeper of the Plains. I took some pictures for her. It was a very simple wedding, everyone got together at the park, the minister performed the ceremony and then they went out to eat lunch together. It was beautiful and very meaningful for Connie and Ray. The whole wedding made me realize again that we can get all wrapped up in the party of a large gathering and forget the meaning of the celebration. Ray and Connie had a beautiful wedding without spending a fortune. The good luck has already started for them. Congratulations.

Chris's Card

I made this card for my sister Chris's birthday. It is a scraplift from a card by Lisa Johson in Cardmaker magazine. I really like the colors and design. Every now and then I think about getting rid of some of my older stamps, but then I find that one of them is perfect for something I want to do.

Cynthia's Circle Journal Pages

I finished the circle journal pages for my friend Cynthia last night. Her theme is Five Words to Describe Yourself. Like several of the other pages that I have done, the decision of what those words would be was harder than I expected. I had thought this journal project would be a test of my scrapping skills. I didn't expect it to turn out to be as thought provoking as it has been.

I had really wanted to use more of the Moravia paper for this layout, but I couldn't make it work and ended up using brown, sage and red cardstock and patterned cardstock from Basic Grey's Mellow collection. After I was done, I realized that the colors are all fall, and that I am truly into the season now. Cyn wanted pictures of the creator, so she got pictures; of me all the way from baby Lynette to adult Lynette of thirty years ago. Very Historical. Cyn knows what I look like, so I wasn't too concerned about a current picture.

I feel good about this page as I have felt good about most of the pages I have done recently. The best part is I get to give it to her in person when I go to Denton in two weeks.
