Hershey Park

Last summer my sisters, cousin and 2 of my friends and I all went to Hershey Park on a nice, sunny day. I finally scrapped a bit of it. I do have some paper scraps done of this day, but my first digital ones. Kit is Flower Power by Golden Girls.

Busy scrapping day...

I got another scrapbook page done today. An actual paper one! Amazing, I know. But I just couldn't wait to use some of my new goodies from Memory Works. I used the new Sultry kit by Basic Grey. The heart sticker and arrow sticker were also part of the kit found here. I really love that paisley paper. I might have to get another kit so I can have more of it. I put a rub-on on the picture, it's from Basic Grey, Sultry as well. I inked the edges of the heart sticker with Colorbox fluid chalk. I love that stuff. And the pink alpha is by Three Bugs in a Rug. I had fun putting this little layout together.

**Updated with a much better picture of the layout. I actually figured out how to make it work with my scanner. So tech savvy...haha!

Digital challenges

Have I mentioned before that I love the challenges over at Digital Candy? Well, I do. Here are two more entries I did this month.

This one was a challenge to take an ad out of a magazine and use it like a sketch to create your layout.



And this one was a lyric challenge. Using the lyrics from Sarah McLachlan's Ordinary Miracles. Wow. What a song! You can click here to see the video. It's from Charlotte's Web, so maybe you've heard it before...but I hadn't.

Some challenge entries

I'm back from my fun, quick trip home to Indiana. I finally got rested up, and now I'm starting on some challenges. I love the ones Lacey is posting over at Memory Works. On this project, she gave us the "ingredients" of flower(s), tag(s) and ribbon(s). I made a cute little book to put pictures of my nieces in for my sister in Minnesota...once I get the pictures printed I'll just have to pop them in and get it in the mail.

This one was a "recipe" of a sketch for us to turn into a layout. I'm not sure that I am in love with it, I may do a bit of tweaking later on. We'll see.

Now I should probably get back to laundry and all that fun stuff that piles up while you're away...but I may go check out what digital challenges I can find first. We'll see.

April Desktop Calendar

Digital Candy always has some great challenges going on for digital scrapping. It keeps me motivated, so I just love it. Every month they give a kit to make a desktop calendar out of. I really loved how it came out this month, especially since I showcased my pretty kitty, Pebbles.



I'm so excited to be heading home tomorrow. It doesn't seem like it's really going to happen, but I already paid for my tickets, so I guess I had better go. HAHA! My sister from Minnesota whom I haven't seen in almost 2 years will be there also, so it will be like a big reunion. My dad has no idea that I'm coming, so I can't wait to surprise him!

An Easter LO

This Easter was nearly a bust. For years, my little sister has been keeping us all young and entertained with her passionate hunt for the Easter eggs. We were certain she was going to be "too old" this year, but she surprised us and said she wasn't. But Easter morning, she woke up sick. She didn't eat any ham or cranberry sauce at lunch (her favorite Easter treats) and she actually took a nap or two! Very strange behavior for her. She still insisted she'd hunt eggs as long as we hid them inside. So, we did, and she hunted. It was enjoyable until she got to the last few hard ones. Then she was just plain exhausted, so I helped her get the last ones into her basket and then she took another nap. What an Easter to remember! At least I remembered to take a few shots, even though there isn't much excitement to them.

Feb. and March calendars

So I got behind on Lacey's calendar challenge. I'm caught up now, and hopefully I'll stay that way. Here's my Feb. and March pages...only 9 more to go!

I'm headed home to Indiana on a quick trip to visit my dad come Monday. I can't wait. He was diagnosed with a brain tumor on March 17 (his birthday) and we've had a bit of a rocky road since. This is my first chance to get home and give him a hug. Luckily, they're feeling better about his prognosis everytime he goes to the doctor. They still don't know if it's cancer or not, and won't really know much more for at least 6 weeks. But for now, it's not as big a worry as it originally was...thank goodness!
