September Fun

I seem to be doing a lot in orange and blue lately. There are even a few pages in progress that seem to feature those two colors. This first one was actually for a color challenge - to scrap a page in orange and blue. The older three on their first day of school:

This next one was a birthday challenge to use a cute kit to scrap my favorite guy and some reasons why.

Finally, I made this desktop for the monthly challenge to create a LO using the monthly mini kit.

It's fun to see when I get on my computer every day. It replaced this one (also orange and blue).

Happy Birthday, Brownie Scraps!

All month at Brownie Scraps we're celebrating one year of our favorite digiscrapping home. Each day a birthday challenge is posted. The first was to use this adorable mini to create a LO, focusing on the word art especially. The hardest part was choosing which picture to use - I found so many that would have been perfect! My girls loved making peanut butter cup cookies for a family night treat, but they loved eating them even more.Credits: Kit - Honey by Ramona the Pest Designs

Now that summer vacation has come to an end and the kids are back in school, I have actually had some time to sit and scrap. Hopefully I'll be able to participate in many more challenges this month. Here's my first one, the Fat Free Brownie Challenge - a white space challenge. Megan took a 3- and 4-year-old ballet class earlier this year and absolutely loved it. It was so much fun to watch her try to do all the moves, usually with her tongue sticking out while she focused intently. She can't walk in a straight line across a smooth floor without falling lately, but she had so much fun in this ballet class. Credits: Kit - Paris in April by Ramona the Pest Designs

First half of April

April is half over and I've only done a few layouts and even fewer challenges. The good news is I'm getting faster and these didn't take me an entire day. The challenge was to crop your photo in a more unusual shape and then make good use of white space. I tried 2 different takes:Credits: Kit - Mudpuddles by Designs by Ramona

This was the template challenge. I had a really a hard time deciding on a title - and I'm still not sure I like what I finally ended up with. I also couldn't decide if the top paper should be yellow or pink. The pink blended really well, but the yellow made things pop more. In the end I went with yellow, but I still love the pink, too.

Time to get a move on and get a lot more challenges and layouts done!
