Miriam's Birthday plus Mother's Day

Challenge 2

I finished my layout for the 2nd challenge for Project Scrap-Away last night. I could only use ONE piece of cardstock and my pictures. Everything else had to be "rubbish." That's right. I said, "rubbish." NOTHING else that is used in scrapbooking. Let me tell you, it was quite a bit of work to use recycled materials to create scrapbook supplies. This layout took me two days to think about and then around 2 days to complete. I'm really thrilled with how it turned out tho. I will post it as soon as they finish judging. Cross your fingers for me!

Unbelievable...

I made it through to the next round! Wooooooo-hooooooo! Here is what Rhonna (tee-hee, we're on a first name basis now) had to say about my layout:

"Such a moving layout! What a wonderful aunt you are!"

*giggle* It just doesn't get any better than this!

For the last challenge, we had to use an advertisement as inspiration. Here is the ad I used:














And here is my layout. This is our nephew, Albert. He was sixteen in these pictures taken last Thanksgiving.

NERVOUS!

I had to rush to finish my layout on time for Project Scrap-away after the holiday weekend. I was not completely happy with it, so I am just *hoping* it is good enough. Knowing me I could have happily spent another two hours on it on top of the six I already spent.

To make me even more nervous, I just found out that Rhonna Farrer and Theresa Collins are going to be JUDGING! I am completely freaking out that they will even see my work. It's a good thing that I didn't know that earlier, I probably would not have entered. *aaaahhhh!*

No WAY!

Just on a whim, I entered a Scrap-n-Crop Contest. They were only going to pick 15 entries from tons around the world. And I got in!!! I can not believe it.

Here is the layout I submitted:

Not Meant to Be.

Well, I did not make the final cut at SD4U. I did meet some neat ladies though. I felt very welcome there. I'm not going to enter any more contests until school is over. These are the layouts I submitted for the challenge.












Also, we had a fantastic Mother's Day/Miriam's 6th Birthday celebration yesterday. Be watching for those pictures.

Happy Mother's Day all you wonderful Mommies!!!

On to Round 4!

I'm in the top 10! I am just incredibly honored and pleased. It's a good day...

The top two are my submissions for the last round at SD4U. Below them are a couple more that I did on National Scrapbook Day (5/3.)
