ScrapFIT Workout #75

Time for another challenge at ScrapFIT!  During this next two weeks, we want to see what you can do with twine.  Sometimes I wonder what we did without it!  There are so many colors of twine, and they are all so beautiful!  Even a little piece here or there adds a whole lot to a page.

Today, I want to show you a few different things I did with twine on this layout of my son taken 17 years ago!

There is nothing particularly special about this layout, but it is one of my very favorite layouts.  You know, as our children grow older, it's hard to watch them go through difficult things.  All those monsters of life are just terrible, and all we can do is to entrust them into God's hands and remember that what they face today is what will shape them for tomorrow.  Here is my journaling up close:

Our prize this week from the Paper Issues store is the Eclectic Slide Fit Kit.

I look forward to seeing what you do with twine!!

Scrap FIT Workout #72 - Color Inspiration

Before I share the workout with you, I am excited to tell you that I have been chosen to stay on the ScrapFIT design team for another 6 months!  I am so happy about that!  The creative team at ScrapFIT puts together some really fun challenges, and they have been stretching my creativity!!

Now on to the next challenge!  At ScrapFIT, we'd love to see how this color palette inspires you:

I love warm colors, and it just so happens that the warm shade of orange is my husband's favorite color.  So it was super easy to put this page together using CTMH's Chocolate, Juniper, and Sunset.

I really went into my stash to find a little of this and that to create this layout.  The printed papers and stickease used are from discontinued Perfect Day and Olivia. The chipboard butterfly, flower, and leaves have a resist print on the, so they are nice to sponge.    I added some Juniper buttons, chocolate twine, and a little stamping - and this layout was done in 30 minutes.  It's so nice when all the supplies just fall together!

We'd love to see what you come up with for this challenge!  Our sponsor is Paper Issues, and they are giving away a $15 gift certificate!

ScrapFIT Workout #70 - Develop Your Own Polaroid

Do you remember when Polaroid photos were the hot new way to take photos?  Well this workout is a tribute to the Polaroid.  At ScrapFIT we want to see a layout with a Polaroid photo. Don't have a Polaroid photo? Don't worry!  You can create a fake Polaroid!  I created mine using PicMonkey before I realized that Sara has a lovely tutorial right here.  Either way will work, and we'd like to see your work!  

Here's my example:

I have a scrapbook for Jerry down in his man cave (formerly known as our family room...) that's all about his fishing experiences.  He loves when I make a page to commemorate his catches! All Victory paper on this page combined with the Victory Stickease and matching embellishments.  

The winner of this Workout will receive a $25.00 Gift Certificate from 

 My Favorite Things.

 

The Studio

Time for a new challenge over at The Studio!  This week we are challenging you to use a sketch:

I liked this simple sketch and created a very simple card that would be perfect for a little boy.

I used DCWV papers Recollections stars, and CTMH waxy flax and button.  Easy peasy!!

Now it's your turn to enter. Link your entry to The Studio website and you could win a 3-month membership to Masterful Scrapbook Design!!

This card also fits the "Kick Your Winter Blues" challenge at Scrap Fit (Green- Yellow-Orange- Red – White)!
