Scrap Tiffany "4-Photo Layout"

This week at Scrap Tiffany the challenge was to create a layout with 4 photos.
This layout features my son's 8th birthday party.
We took him and some friends to a Motocross races in our local arena.
They had so much fun.
Prior to the races, they got to go to the track party. This means they got to meet the drivers and get a poster and autographs from them, and get to play/run the track. The track had some major dirt hills that the jumps were done on and some of them were huge. Well, for me they were, I was 8 months pregnant at the time. I thought it may send me into labor.
One of the drivers even let my son, the birthday boy, sit on his bike for a picture. They were all very impressed but very tired by the end of the night.

This was a hard one to just use 4 photos, so I used 5. I guess it's a bigger challenge with 5 right?
I just couldn't leave one out so here's my layout.

That's my layout. It was such a fun layout with all the excitement of the pictures, it was easy to make an exciting layout.

Go over to Tiffany's to check out the rest of the design team's
layouts using 4 photos. Don't forget if you make a layout based on this weeks challenge you can send it to Tiffany and she may put it on the website for show and tell.

Thanks for stopping by...

ScrapTiffany "Scraplift" Challenge

This week's challenge at Scrap Tiffany was "scraplift".
Well, I immediately thought of all the blogs and people I admire in scrapbooking. They're are way too many to choose from.
So I just closed my eyes and pointed.
Just kidding, I didn't.
I chose to scraplift a card from Christina.
I always love her work.

Take a look at Christina's work.
She does a great job and really makes things look very easy.

Don't forget to visit Scrap Tiffany to see what the other designers
have created or should I say copied for this week.
Thanks for stopping by.

Scrap Tiffany "Thrifty Thursday"

Today was my day over at Tiffany's to share a Thrifty Thursday Thrill.
I am going to show you how to make plastic bag pages.

Here's what you do....
First start out with one of these...
I know we all have these everywhere in our houses. At our house we use them for just about everything from dog poop to taking food to a BBQ. Just as long as you don't use the same bag for those two things, then you're good!!
And I know all us Target shoppers have even more lurking around our house.

That's all there is to it.
Don't forget you can do so much to these "pages". You can stamp, ink, paint, cut a cute edge, cut out shapes, or whatever else you can think of.
I am sure there are plenty of people that can/will find plenty to do with these.

Hope you enjoyed the "thrill" for Thursday.
Thanks for stopping by.

Scrap Tiffany "Vintage Challenge"

This week at Tiffany the challenge was "Vintage".
Although, I realize there are a lot of manufacturers out there that produce
vintage product, but whenever I hear vintage, I think 7Gypsies.
Recently, at my LSS I took a class to learn how to make these houses.
I love their vintage papers, and embellishments.
So I thought this was perfect for this challenge.
Here it is......

This is the roof that comes off and is a mini book.
I love this map paper and there is also dictionary paper inside it too.

Thanks for stopping by today to go back in time with all the vintage products.
Go check out the other designer's on Tiffany to see the other time capsules.

Encouraging words!!

It's been a little bit since I have posted but I wanted to pop in and post this quote I found on Jessica Sprague today...it really spoke to me and thought I would share.

Quote, from C.S. Lewis:

“Imagine yourself as a living house. God comes in to rebuild that house. At first, perhaps, you can understand what He is doing. He is getting the drains right and stopping the leaks in the roof and so on; you knew that those jobs needed doing and so you are not surprised. But presently He starts knocking the house about in a way that hurts abominably and does not seem to make any sense. What on earth is He up to? The explanation is that He is building quite a different house from the one you thought of - throwing out a new wing here, putting on an extra floor there, running up towers, making courtyards. You thought you were being made into a decent little cottage: but He is building a palace. He intends to come and live in it Himself.”
— C.S. Lewis (Mere Christianity)

Sometimes we don't understand all the why's and what's in our life journey, this is just a reminder that we don't always see the forest for the trees in our life. Sometimes it even "feels" like the wild fires that burn those trees.

God is a BIG God and he does. Our job is to trust Him and we will be so happy with the results.

Just wanted to share a thought to chew on for the day or I should say, not just for today but for every day!!!

Have a great weekend!!!

ps...it's really hard to believe there are no pictures on this post. I do believe that is a first!!!
