First set of wheels!

My scrapbook day yesterday wasn't as prolific as I was hoping but it was fantastic since I set up my Christmas present! My Silhouette Cameo! This is the best scrapbooking tool so I can make any kind of embellishment I am looking for.  And since we are still in 2007 when I got my first pair of wheels... I need to make myself some wheels.

The sketch is from, Let's Capture Our Memories with their #105 sketch:

And mine:

I loved this chevron paper that looks a bit tire like! 

Academic Letter

Back to 2007 when I was a smarty pants... well I was trying to be!

Here is my page for my academic letter. I tried to stick with navy and silver since those are the school colors and also added in some tan. I was so ecstatic to find I had letter paper for my academic letter page...hee hee.

My sketch comes from Stuck?! Sketches Jan 1 challenge, I'm fast about this one this month!

and now mine: 

It's a snowy day here in Wisconsin, so my day will be spent scrapbooking, sipping tea as the snow falls. Oh! And anxiously awaiting Downton Abbey premiere tonight! Anyone else watching it?

Last Family Night

Still working on 2014, I did my last night with my whole family of five.

The color was from Let's Capture Our Memories, from their December color scheme:

And sketch from Stuck?! Sketches: 

And mine:

Just used red's sister color pink instead! 

Night #1

On our first actual night to explore and more of Madison. Rather than a hotel and boxes as far as you could see, we went down to State Street. A cute downtown street for eating, drinking and shopping.

The layout if from Let's Capture Our Memories, and I gotta say this has been one of my favorite sketches. I love the big number on the top! This is their #101 sketch challenge:

And here is mine:

Fall Madison Leaves

Hello,

So now I jump ahead to 2014 to when I had the greatest weekend when my family came to visit me and we explored Madison's amazing fall color.


I used Color Me Scrappy's color challenge, and so thankful for my family for the great visit:

I used DCWV's November sketch challenge: 

and here is my page:

State Fair '07

Hello!

I hope everyone had a lovely Thanksgiving, and I am very excited to say I got a page done while my turkey was cooking! It was my first time making a turkey and it came out really good. (Also traveled back to my 2007 book for this page!)

So my page colors came from Color Me Scrappy:

And the sketch from Stuck?!:

And here's my page:

I did only a little Black Friday shopping... that was for myself! So now i'm going back to craft! 

Job offer

Sorry I have been gone for so long, I haven't scrapped in so long! Well now my friends that's about to change because I am back!

Where have I been you might be asking? I took a great job and moved across the country... to Madison, WI. I finally have settled in and down in life. I have my little craft area all organized and ready to go. Right now it's all in a bookcase and I'm missing my scrap room with my mom.

I decided to start a book about my move and transition up to Madison. So the first page is about the job and offer.


The sketch is inspired by Stuck?! and their layout:

And here is mine: 

I went with a black and white theme since there was so much text. The addition of red is from the company's logo is red. 

Hope you liked it and I will be back with more! In my new space, life, and desperate need to craft!
