National Scrapbooking Day

Doing my part to help the local economy, I went shopping at The Scrapbook Shop in Blaine today, then came home for some serious scrapping. Studio Calico has great challenges, so I worked on those. Here's what I did:

This was a sketch challenge. Nice, because I've had these photos for a while.

This challenge was for punches. I punched a photo, a product (sticker and the packing card that came with my kit), and PP ( the scallop border).


This was a product challenge. I used 4 kinds of PP, brads, a Studio Calico stamp, and mist.

I put together a lot of challenges for this one. I lifted an ad (it had a bunch of green hexagons at the top), I scrapped my opposite (pink, plus lots of STUFF!), scrapped my (new) avatar, and layered flowers. Oddly, I like this.

Here I scrapped an old photo with lots of white space plus a little hybrid (the journaling spot). I made the "Me" by cutting the "Ho" out of "Home." There's a joke there that I won't go any farther with...

This challenge was to lift myself. Here's the page I lifted from:

I made the first layout for my MIL for Mother's Day.

The fun of challenges is stretching myself. Some of my typical stuff, but some new stuff too. What fun!
