Scrap August Update!

Scrap August continues! I've managed to make at least a page a day this week, some days more than one. I'm focusing on finishing my Washington DC album, and have primarily been scrapping that this week. Today I used the latest sketch from Creative Scrappers (#115). This week's sketch was made my Aphra, and I just love her style!

I pulled out some DC photos, from our quick drive through Georgetown. The houses were so pretty there, and lots of them had beautiful gardens of flowers. We were on the upper deck of a sightseeing bus, so these photos were taken at about 35 mph, lol! I used supplies from the "Lemonade Stand" kit from Noel Mignon to create this:

I found this tutorial for making a gather flower on Youtube, created by Kristina from Two Peas. It was so easy and cute, so I made a few to add to this lo. Here is a close-up of one (I think this one came out the best! lol):

Quick shot of the journaling block, with some cute KI Memories embellishments:

And the title:

I kind of wanted to call it a "drive-by" of Georgetown, but I thought that might not sound right, lol!

Thanks for stopping by today, have a great weekend!

Sweet American Girls!

Just one more to share tonight! I made this lo following the latest sketch on Inspired Sketches (#112) using supplies from the Noel Mignon "Paper Doll" kit. This is a photo of Grace and I from the NYC American Girl store, where we took her and Kit to get some more goodies for her new addition!

Thanks for taking a look!

Celebrating Glee!

Hi! I've had the past 2 days off because of the snow storm that has hit us, but I think reality will be coming back tomorrow and I'll have to go back to school! Fortunately, I will only have school tomorrow and then off next week for winter recess! Woohoo!

I was able to make a few layouts yesterday, and I focused on trying to get a lo made for the Noel Mignon "Glee" challenge. Anyone who knows me knows that I am absolutely, positively obsessed with the TV show Glee!! I simply adore their offbeat humor and the singing is super! The soundtrack CDs had gotten deleted off my ipod, and Joan was borrowing my cds and I felt like I was in Glee withdrawal because I had to go a whole week without listening to it! LOL, I'm such a dork, :).

So when I saw that there was a Glee challenge, I knew I had to participate. I used the photo from the show as inspiration for my lo, and I used the title "Defying Gravity" from the soundtrack. I used the new Jenni Bowlin line called "Homespun" for most of this lo, as well as some BG paper for the background, Thickers letter stickers and Heidi Swapp ghost flowers. I stitched between the boxes as well using my sewing machine (although I think its a bit hard to see in this photo). I love, love, love those adorable banner stickers too! So simple and so stinkin' cute! LOL!

Thanks for stopping by today!
