National Scrapbook Day Challenges

I wanted to get up a post, with all my challenges in the order they should be in for My Pink Stamper's National Scrapbook Day!

Challenge 1: Mother Dear
Challenge 2: Getting Scrappy
Challenge 3:Thinking Outside the Box
Challenge 4:Like you Least
Challenge 5: Teacher Appreciation
Challenge 6:Kid's Craft Too
Challenge 7: Hey Dad
Challenge 8: Love My Color
Challenge 9: Take Shape
Challenge 10: May Day
Challenge 11: Colors of the Rainbow
Challenge 12: Critter-licious

I am so proud of myself for pushing myself and trying things outside the norm for me. I am also so proud of myself for making sure I got to do every challenge. I did a lot of them on Saturday, and busted tail to get done in one hour with each one. I finished the last two tonight. They were the two most difficult ones for me, since I knew what Cartridge was my least favorite (and I was in no hurry to use it!) and I had no clue what to do outside the box. I hope you enjoy all the weekend projects. Tomorrow, I will be cleaning stalls at Horse Head Quarters, and will probably do some photos of the horses, possibly getting their farrier work done, or whatnot. I also have some beautiful western style photos from last week!

Chow!

My Pink Stamper, Challenge #2 Getting Scrappy

National Scrapbook Day was yesterday, and to celebrate over at My Pink Stamper, the wonderful Robyn, hosted an all day challenge. Ever hour, on the hour, she would post a new challenge. You were supposed to create something for the challenge, and try to do it in an hour!

I participated in most of the challenges, but did miss a few of the first ones, since we took a drive out to Reiter Road, in Gold Bar to look at terrain for an RC trip Adam is planning for him and his fellow RC'ers.

This card is for the Gettin' Scrappy Challenge. It could have worked for 'outside the box also' since I rarely layer this much or do any stitching, but I used all scraps (which isn't all that tough, since I probably have as many scraps as I do whole sheets of paper.) I also am keep it organized very precisely, if I do say so myself. I'll do another post on my organization of paper. It acually works pretty well for me.

I hope you enjoy the card, I had fun making it today!


I had Zoe with me most of the day yesterday, when Adam got the 'day off' to spend hanging out with the boys and building an RC track at a friend house, and then also spending time at the track helping the guys to get their new (used) cars running. Today, he took Zoe with him to the track this morning, so I could nap which I did. Then when I woke up I headed over to the track to play with Zoe and hang out with some friends, and one's girlfriend. We had a good time in the rain!

My Pink Stamper, NSD Challenge #12

This challenge is CRITTER-LICIOUS and I don't have create a critter yet, so I had to use what I had, and with photos of Zoe, when she was crawling in dire need of being scrapbooked, I decided to use the little bugger.

My Pink Stamper NSD Challenge #11 Rainbow

In this challenge, it was to use the rainbow somehow. Zoe gathered all the colors for me (as I asked her, and did have to help a little, but give her a break- she's two!)

My Pink Stamper NSD Challenge #9

This challenge is called 'take shape' and the challenge is to make a layout, card or something with a shape. I knew I wanted a card, and remembered that my Sweet Treats Cartridge, has a feature that can do a shaped card. LOVE IT!

The Ice Cream, is cut @ 11" I used the fit to page option on the card feature. All the coordinating cuts were then done at 11" also.
