Week 5

Now I'm really on a roll!  Week 5!

Embossed, Flowers, 3+ patterned papers, & Buttons

 Chalking, Buttons, Twine, Punches

Week 4!

Wow, week 4 & I've stuck with this challenge!

Here's what I did this week, sorry, I can't get them to turn the right direction!

Stamping, ribbon & sticker used

Distressed, Bling, 3+ patterened papers & hidden journaling

Wow... only 2 weeks, and I'm posting again!  I was away at CKC in KC last week, but I did complete FTS scrap challenge & card challenge both last week and this week.  Here's week 2 submissions:

Used punches, embossing & bling

 I didn't get pictures on this one since I was at CKC when I was completing it.  Used embossing, torn paper, ribbon & sticker letters

This week's:
Embossed, 3+ patterned papers & rub ons

 Fussy Cutting (crosses were fussy cut), journaling, 3+ buttons, bling.  I would have never done this had it not been for the challenge, however, I LOVED how it turned out!

For FTS CC:

I used 3 patterened papers, bling & stamped the sentiment.

Again, I'm falling behind on blogging.  Perhaps my new challenges will get me back on track.

For FTS SC:
Acrylic stars are stamped, then 3 flowers, ribbon, 3 patterned papers, journaling, & stickers for the title


 

New Goal

Gonna try this blog thing again!  Hopefully, now that I'm doing better at staying on top of swapping, I'll have time for additional projects too.  Here's a couple starts.  I didn't make these, but Mom did for 2 of her best friend's birthdays this week.

I was so happy with how they turned out!  I'm amazed at how far we've come in our scrapbooking adventures. 

So Long

Wow, so it has been forever since I've updated this. So much going on. With the closing of MSN, IASST has now moved to a new site over on forummotion. It's a whole new set up and we are just getting it all figured out, but it seems to be going strong. Also we are planning an IASST Retreat for April 17 - 19 here in St. Louis, so that's been keeping me busy too. Top that off with our first Crop For A Cure for our church Relay for Life Team on Feb 21st - and it's been busy busy.

On the new IASST board we have a sketch challenge. I'm really hoping this will help motivate me to get some layouts completed - with pictures lol. I was really excited to get a page completed from our Honeymoon. It was such an amazing trip, I don't want to forget anything. I also signed up for a layout challenge on ACOT's messagage board. My goal is to complete 25 layouts & 30 cards this month. I think we can accomplish that - especially with the 12 hour crop on the 21st.

One of the most exciting things that we have done the last month or so is we moved our scrapbooking area from one side of the basement over to the other. We are now way more organized (if only we could remember where we put things). We got a ton of these white cubes from Michaels and before we moved we purged - a lot! When we get it all complete I'll post pics of it too. We just have some finishing touches for it.

That's the extent of what's been going on here. I am hoping to get better at keeping up with this blog. Even if I'm the only one that looks at it lol.
