Summer LOs

Summer vacation is over, the kids are back in school, and I've actually been able to sit and scrap a bit. Here are the only other layouts I finished over the summer: *I'll come back and edit with complete credit info*

For the Sprinkles on Top challenge, each LO needs to contain a certain phrase. "Jump into summer" was one from the list, but I couldn't find quite the right photo to go with it until I changed the phrase a little.

I love the Brownie Indulgence Challenge at Brownie Scraps. Creating a LO with an adorable mini kit is always fun and sometimes a challenge to figure out how each piece fits in. This is what I came up with in August.

The daily brownie bytes kit by Scrappin' Daisies was so adorable in August! Here's a LO I did with it and my silly Heidyn just chillaxin in her finest duds.

This was for a word of the week challenge at Stuff to Scrap. The word was 'fun,' and this picture of Abigail just cracked me up. We went to the museum at Hill Air Force Base one afternoon, and Abigail was ready to leave LONG before her dad was ready to leave.

What's the secret?

This is one of my favorites. It was created for a challenge taking my favorite parts of 3 inspiration layouts. I love how it turned out.

Alpha Challenge

One of the Brownie Scraps monthly challenges is an alpha challenge. Ramona makes a cute alpha and you can use in your layout, or not, and your layout title should start with the letter of the alphabet for that month. Actually, there are 2 per month, and April was G and H. I plan to go back and start at A, but here are the alpha layouts I started with.

G is for...
H is for...

After I saved this version and closed (without saving) the layered version, I remembered the jounaling. I didn't want to start over, so its a little cramped.

Come on over to Brownie Scraps and try it out. The letter for the first half of May is I, and Ramona's new alpha is really cute.

Speedy Scrapping

Another day of frantically trying to make up 4 speed scraps resulted in these layouts.

Only a few days left of this month and I have a few more goals to meet...

Speedy

Yesterday was my last chance to make up some speed scraps at Brownie Scraps. The participation prizes were mini kits that all coordinated to make one super cute kit, so I wanted to get all the pieces. Here are the four layouts I came up with and tried to do in a hurry.

This was one of the very first layouts I ever started, but I never finished. I only had to change it a little and then add some stuff to make it work for the speed scrap.

This was a fun one to do. I love all the fruit, and the alpha came from pictures taken of oranges.

I love how this one turned out - definitely one of my favorites. Isn't that title great?

Here's one of my other favorite layouts I've done. Eve has started posing whenever I pull out the camera. What a nut!

Here's my layout for the March mini kit challenge at Brownie Scraps. If it wasn't so much work, I'd change the alpha I created for it. Overall I like how it turned out. Next time I ought to add some journaling.

My first layout I've actually finished and posted, and the first challenge I've participated in at Brownie Scraps. Actually, I'm not completely happy with it, but I do have other things I'm supposed to be doing right now and the cut off is tonight, so I have to stop fiddling and submit it. The challenge was to use everything in a mini kit -- which ended up being a challenge (must be why they call it that). I added the alpha (hopefully that's not against the rules) - it's Refresh from ScrapGirls. I love how it looks with this kit. If I had more time I would make the background a little more interesting (a few more layers or something). And I really need to work with drop shadows a lot more. What would you change?
