Scrapbook Layouts and a Note

I am in a barbershop chorus part of Harmony Inc.  This weekend is the international competition in Providence, RI.  This means I won't have internet access from Thursday to Sunday.  Of course I will go through withdraw from email, but also from my blog as well as everyone else's that I look at everyday.  Just so people know in case it looks like I've disappeared.

Now on to the scrapbook layouts.  A couple of days ago I was on a streak and finished two scrapbook layouts for our San Francisco trip.

These pictures are from Boudin the best sour dough bakery I've ever been to.  Look at the cute little animals they make.  I decided to try grouping photos like I saw on Celebrate the Seasons on Two Peas in a Bucket.  The layout isn't exactly like any they have up, but I thought it would be interesting to try.  The bottom border is from the bag they gave me when I bought bread.  I covered the entire thing with Tea Dye Distress Ink.

This is a slightly girly page, but I like how it turned out.  I used a textured pink paper as the main page.  The strips of paper are from Magpie Club November Kit.  All of the things in it are absolutely adorable!  The accents are rub-ons are also from the kit.

I love this saying

We found this cute little playground at a park in San Francisco and decided to swing on the swings.  It was so odd, in the middle of the week there was a ton of people just outside enjoying the weather instead of being at work.  I wish that was my day everyday.

I love these butterflies.  They have music on them!

My First Challenge Win

Hi everyone!
I found out this morning that I won my first challenge ever.  It was the first challenge over at the Gypsy Spot and it was for the waterfall Thank You card I made.  I want to thank them again for having the challenge.  This definitely made my day!  Yay!

The Gypsy Spot - First Challenge

I needed to make a "Thank You" card for my chorus director who is coming this Sunday night to coach my quartet.  Since the only musical cut I have at the moment is on Gypsy Wanderings I thought it would be a great chance to enter The Gypsy Spot's first design challenge.  I made a waterfall card, hence the video, and used the notes from Gypsy Wanderings as well as the "Thank You"  Hope you enjoy the card.

Shout Out to SheetLoad

It's that time again!  I'm giving a Shout Out to SheetLoad for the month of November.  I love the sketches they have in their FREE ezine.  Last month I made some really cute cards using the sketch in the October issue.  This month you can download free quotes that fit perfectly onto the sketch layout.  Stop over and check it out!

My Favorite Things - November White Challenge

My Favorite Things had a challenge to use at least one of their products and as much white as possible.  This is what I came up with.  The snowflake background is welded together snowflakes from the Winter Woodland cartridge.  I don't have a Cuddlbug and I saw this technique on YouTube to give texture to the background using diecuts and layering on the same color paper.  Hope you like it.
