Scrapbook Generation Blog Hop

Welcome to the Scrapbook Generation Blog Hop for December!   You should have arrived from Pamela's blog, but if this is your first stop, you might like to start at the Scrapbook Generation blog and then hop through each link.  I've used one of their single sketches for this layout.

This is my amazing leader Karen , and this picture was taken on the Southern Caribbean Cruise in February.  She is so sweet, totally rocks (true story), and helped me dream big so that I could have a noteworthy and epic time on the Close To My Heart incentive trip!  Life is good!!  

It was fun to pull from different stamp sets to create this layout!  I used a combination of five stamp sets (Charming Chevrons, Laughing Lola Workshop on the Go, All the Details, It's Your Day, and Whooo's Your Valentine) along with Laughing Lola paper.  I pulled out the Laughing Lola gold and black paisley of the paper to match our clothes.  That Charming Chevron set is awesome, and I love that you can also purchase chevron sparkle shapes that fit around them perfectly.  What a fun, fun added element to the page!

You can find the SG sketches in their books and as downloads in the SG store, and there is a free one every month in case you wanted to try it out.

Next on the hop is Sharlene. Be sure leave a comment on each blog as one lucky winner will receive a free sketch bundle of their choice from the store. The winner will be draw on December 9th, so you have one week to leave a comment.

Birthday Girl

As promised, I came back quickly so that you wouldn't have to look at the fish hook layout too long!  This is one-page layout that I created for both Scrapbook Generation Challenge #6 and BPC Creative Crop Challenge #2.

I have really enjoyed working with the NSD challenges yesterday and today.  I am trying to get my 2012 album completed, and this is helping.  Now lest you think I am caught up on my scrapping, I am no where new caught up.  I have many of Shane's toddler photos, camping photos, Shane's school album, and the years 1993 - 2000.  That doesn't even include vintage photos!  There is always something to scrap.

Ok, for Scrapbook Generation, I had to use 5 things out of the several items they named.  I used baker's twine, brads, chipboard (letters), metal charm, washi tape, and glitter.  Well, I was an over-achiever and used 6!  The challenge at Big Picture was to put photo pockets, and I used flip flaps to store photos and journaling.  Such a fun product!

Now, I have a lot more scrapping to do, and it's already going on 7:30 pm! There's just not enough time in a day!!

Hooked

I've been scrapping away today celebrating National Scrapbooking Day!  I'll be sharing quite a bit in the next few days, but today I want to show this layout I made for Scrapbook Generation's Challenge #3 (use a one-page sketch from SG).  I am going to start out by saying that if you have a queasy stomach, don't look further!!

Oh, did this ever freak me out!  Jerry went fishing and came home soon after hooking himself in the finger with a titanium hook.  Here's the journaling:

Ok, now I am going to make another layout so that this gruesome finger is not the first thing that you see when you visit!  But I am a story teller, so this has to go in the book, too!
