CHALLENGES

Good morning to all my fellow crafters.  Hope your Wednesday has started out good.  I  have two post for today. My title is probably a little bit deceiving but what it means is that my posts are about different challenges that I'm entering my projects in.
One of my favorite challenges is the Lasting Memories Scrapbook LO challenge http://kcclayoutchallenges.blogspot.com. Each week you are to make a page LO either single or double that is the one rule for the challenge.  If you haven't been to there blog you need to hop on over there and see what all the challenges are about.  This challenge is one way of getting LO pages done if you are behind in making pages.  They have an amazing DT that does some fantastic projects each week.  This week's challenge is "SCRAPLIFTING" from one of the design team members.  This is my favorite kind of challenge because I love to scrap lift  and I do this a lot.  I do ask first to make sure that the person that I'm scrap lifting doesn't mind. With the challenge you are to choose one of the DT members and scrap lift their idea for your page. 
I decided to scrap lift from Kimberly if I'm reading the blog right.  Anyway I like this LO and decided to do scrap lift it.  Here is my LO. 
This is my Great-niece Reagan. She will be 3 May 18th.  She decided that she didn't want to do what the photographer wanted her to do. 

I used all scraps on this page.  The pattern paper if from different papers from DCWV and the solid is scraps from different papers from Recollections cardstock from. READY TO GO is from Kate's ABC's cartridge that I used in the ccr to weld the letters together.

Thanks for looking.


The second post this week is for the challenge Exploring cricut http://exploringcricut.blogspot.com
"WINTER WONDERLAND" and the FCCB    http://fantabulouscricut.blogspot.com     "Winter Fun"  This is what I came up with.

Here in Western Kentucky we don't get must snow. This was the first snow fall that we had gotten.  My youngest daughter put in her boots and went walking around the yard.  She loves the snow. The second picture is her son.  He is only 8 months old so this IS HIS first time in snow. On this page I did a pocket with the one photo and hid a journaling tag inside the pocket.

The base papers are from DCWV from The Four Seasons paper pack from 2010.  I thought this was perfect for my pages.  I used the Artbooking CTMH cricut cart for the title. walking in a winter wonder pg 77 from the Winter Time LO  and the second page title is from the School LO First Day pg 68.  I used the negative from the snow banner on page 76 for snow.  I used MS glitter to make the titles more visible.

 

Thanks for taking a look.  Check out Exploring Cricut for those of you that still use yours for this challenge.
Have a great Wednesday.
